297,000 light years travel.

I love that the chat is arguing with him about it like it didn't just happen, again because that fucking daymeehun dude said black holes only move you 700 ly.

[RepairmanJack]

I'm loving everything I am seeing but damn am I glad I'm getting this on PC. FOV and look sensitivity seems so low and bad.

38k LY from center.

 

[Pit]

Frozen planet.

Yeah, i am very curious to see what can be done with the PC version as far as pop-in distance and FOV is.

 

[legacyzero]

OH MY GAwD

 

[Klyka]

Now people are arguing that daymeeuhn only got 700 lightyears out of the black holes because he "rushed"

 

[xxracerxx]

Frozen planet.

That's no Hoth (he discovered a planet earlier and named it Hoth).

Now people are arguing that daymeeuhn only got 700 lightyears out of the black holes because he "rushed"

No just saying they don't 'only' move you 700 ly.

Oh damn, second to last one....

 

[travisbickle]

Wrong though? Seems like he's just having a different experience. If anything it should be slightly worrying that one person can have a complete dud of an experience and another can have an amazing experience. Randomness and all that but it sucks if you're the guy having a shit time with it.

You can't worry about that because that's the point of these games, secrets are secrets. Yet Hello Games can put a few things in the game that can be experienced by everyone, like the centre ... and guess what he complains about that too because it is not at a predefined point in gameplay.

 

[Aselith]

Have they seen ringed planets?

That's true but the question is how likely is it to have one experience vs the other. Hopefully amazing is the norm not an outlier.

That last one is from the surface of that planet's moon.

 

[Pit]

And that almost eclipse one Kreygasm

 

[RepairmanJack]

I can no longer tell if people are trolling or actually stupid in this chat.

"The human eye can only see 60 degrees."

 

[greatgeek]

Ringed planets are still MIA. If they're in the game, I feel that they are supposed to be a rare-ish treat.

 

[legacyzero]

This planet already looks fucking GORGEOUS

 

[Klyka]

"The human eye can only see 60 degrees."

An FOV of 40 is perfectly fine. The human brain can not notice an FOV above it.
It's the same with 30 fps.

an FOV of 40 with an FPS of 30 is the perfect analogue to real life

297,000 light years travel.

To put that in perspective, the closest galaxy to us is (only) 25,000 light years away

 

[TheKingOfPain]

They move us 700 LY closer to the centre.
BigTiggles travelled 297k LY, but he's still 38k LY from the galactic core. We all start at almost 40k LY from it. Seems plausible.

sorry, bro, it's 2.5 million


becasue that video last page says so

Looked into it and Sean said yes so that's good

You're missing a couple zeros:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda_Galaxy

"The Andromeda Galaxy (/ænˈdrɒmᵻdə/), also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years) from Earth."

 

[LookAtMeGo]

The milky way is about 150 000 light years in diameter.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Ship said "Nah"

Was there a stream for this?

Still playing.

 

[CHC]

Oh god I think I'm finally gonna bail on this thread for a while. Clearly this a game for me, no need to further spoil potential surprises.

 

[RepairmanJack]

How did the ground swallow his ship? lol No clue what happened.

 

[greatgeek]

Lol, the Land Disruptor was cleary designed for bugs.

Nope, the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is the closest galaxy to us

Andromeda is just the closest spiral galaxy

Is it safe to assume you have no idea where the black holes are going to spit you out?

I'd make the assumption it would still be taking you towards the centre but I was under the impression your 40,000 ly away from the centre and he just jumped close to 300,000...

He checked he's like 37k lightyears away right after the black hole.

It would be neat if there was some math equation you could manipulate to control the output like angle, speed, mass kind of stuff.

 

[Pit]

I think they take you closer to the centre all the time, but at varying distances.

 

[metareferential]

So the leaker was tales from my ass early edition?

And damn those screens.

 

[iosefe]

we just saw a literal dick monster


that or it had elephantitis of the kidneys

 

[Landford]

Progression seens very fast, or is he playing for a really long time?

 

[greatgeek]

So the leaker was tales from my ass early edition?

No, he was right about a number of things:
-all planets having some form of life
-certain bugs
-balance issues created by certain items/mechanics

 

[Pit]

This isnt his first time playing it, no. He has progression from prior sessions.

 

[Pit]

No, he was right about a number of things:
-all planets having some form of life
-certain bugs
-balance issues created by certain items/mechanics

And he was wrong about all his assumptions

-upgrades
-no big and unique creatures
-varying terrain types

So a little of he was right, a lot he was wrong about cause assumptions yo.

 

[iosefe]

he's got 20+ hours under his belt.



also "God Damnit, Sean"

haha

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I think it was more one person making his own observations while people somehow forget how big and varied this game can be.

That, combined with him definitely not understanding some of the game's systems.

 

[greatgeek]

-upgrades
-no big and unique creatures

So a little of he was right, a lot he was wrong about cause assumptions yo.

I don't recall him ever making absolute claims about any of those things.


See above post.

How is it we still have popin on ps4

The game is literally building the world around you as you move. It's frankly incredible that there isn't more.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Interestingly the Milky Way is around 95,000ly from arm to arm, as someone else said around 150,000 when you count exterior stars that are sort of hanging on the edge of the void, provided I'm not accidentally getting mixed up with the Distant Worlds travel distance in Elite anyway. Regardless, point is that jump from anywhere in our galaxy would leave you in dark space. It must be a large starter galaxy.

 

[bananafactory]

Unpatched, but my guess is you will always get popin, even on PC, due to the way terrain is rendered in a game like this.

It's the same way you can't brute force it in Minecraft either

 

[SocksAndShoes]

The game is literally building the world around you as you move. It's frankly incredible that there isn't more.

And it's running at what appears to be a solid 60 fps.
