No Man's Sky - Procedural space game

Cant believe ppl want this after seeing all that pop in and its really close to you too. I couldnt stand that even if it was a great game.

Also i think he said options screen is bare so probably res u can pick and thats it, console type options screen. :/

Also is it true what someone said, u cant see animals on planet if ur flying? If so thats bull..

Hmm you might be right, so options on ps4 version might not be same as pc ones, but hmm is there any pc gameplay footage thats out there and confirmed pc so to see if theres less pop in? As ps4 version looks terrible with it.

I noticed that too, it's horribly visible when flying around in space and seeing asteroids just appear.

Just the nature of the game I guess and the scale.

It won't bother me tbh.

I loved GTA V and on console the pop-in was bad, didn;t take anything away to me.

Same with dying light being played on my 70, draw distance needed lowering and pop-in occurred. Stilled loved it.
 
I read something on the Steam Community which was rather disconcerting:

The unfortunate truth!
After much deliberation i have come to the conclusion that NMS will not be the great space exploration game many of us are expecting.
I have been on the fence about this game for quite some time and have now thanks to a lot of the leaked footage and discussions there of realised that NMS is a HUGE gimmick.
NMS is a "space exploration game" and yet it is massively limited in terms of your ability to travel and move.
There are no actual solar systems in NMS just planets within a certain distance of eachother and the stars are just part of the background "wallpaper".(ever wonder why we have never seen a solar system map just a "galactic map"?)THERE'S ONLY SKYBOXES!
This is also why the day/night cycles are just scripted and the same on all planets.
Essentially you "warp" to a new "solar system" and planets are spawned infront of you so you warp closer to them and land , collect ur resources then "warp" to the next bunch of spawned planets and so on.(why when you warp to a new system the planets are always within view range?)
You can't fly around the solar system since there isn't actually any space beyond the very limited boxes that are created around planets in which all space stations also exist.Your just "warping" from planet to planet.
I may be entirely mistaken here and i really hope i am but i truly think we've all been had!
WHY IS THERE NO SOLAR SYSTEM MAP???We cant see how planets are in relation to eachother or their parent star.

I also read that a streamer spent the best part of thirty minutes trying to reach the nearest star, but couldn't. It was as if the star was an unreachable background object, if that makes sense?

I've seen a vid on you tube where Sean Murray states that you can fly from planet to planet. It'll take yonks, but it can be done.

If you try to do the same thing in Elite you will have the same problem (outside of the solar system you are currently in). You need to jump to neighbouring systems, you can't just 'fly' between them.

However are people saying there isn't a star you can fly to in the solar system you are in?

There is a map with lists of solar systems and no one has tried flying to the sun because it would take days if not longer. Non issue tbh.

Let's also remember that the early copies are missing a few GBs of data, so let's wait and see before we have massive over reactions.

Tbh I would stay away from the steam forums prerelease. Vile place.

Based on what we have been told, such as there being secrets in space which you can only find if you don't warp everywhere. Sean confirming you could fly everywhere without warp but it would take a long long long time. It would seem to suggest that it isn't skyboxes and really is one galaxy. However, even if correct I don't see it makes much difference. So you have to warp between solar systems rather then spending 10, 20, 50 hours flying on impulse between them.

I agree, It would be nice to fly out and visit moons of planets and such, but I don't feel like spending 2 years(literally) manually flying to the next star.

This. That place is full of trolls and is more toxic than Reddit
 
Haha complaining that he spent 30 minutes under conventional drives trying to get somewhere and didn't make any appreciable progress.

This game is going to be a real learning experience for a lot of people about astronomical scale :)
 
Well,stalking this thread isnt enough anymore for me :D
Im interested ;)
Avoiding streams tho.
Where is cheapest place to get it now?

The universe requires no files per say he said because its procedural generated so its created with maths so gbs of data on dvd or whatever makes no difference to the universe in the game as it will not require any files to make. Murrys words not mine.

Which is kinda true because david from elite did the same thing he procedural generated a universe on a floppy disc remember back in the 80s.
