Are you excited about this game? We're a little too excited..IF YOU KNOW WHAT I"M SAYIIIIINNNNNN. I'm saying we're excited, ok? Cuz it seems like it's gonna be a cool game and stuff, yeah.
I'm here now after 2 years to see how well people predicted what was to come. I'm not denying it had a bad start but I'm also not saying it isn't redeemable. Post visions it is the game we were promised from the start and they are still adding more to it.
this not my comment its from a another video but i quite agree that this is the story : Nada was a Korvax that was damaged in a freighter crash. Polo found Nada and managed to get it semi-functional to help with his research. The character the player is playing is a copy of the mind of the creator of the Atlas. as the race that built the Atlas left for the stars, they left the Atlas behind. The last wish of Atlas was that it's creator gave it a copy of their mind (in game lore). You are playing that copy. The Atlas has spent the intervening time "sleeping" simulating it's own universe. It suddenly wakes up to a terrifying realization, the Atlas is about to be destroyed because the star system it is in is going to be destroyed by a black hole. It has predicted those final 16 minutes with absolute precision, and in it's final 16 minutes it activates the mind of it's creator within the simulated universe to help it with it's ponderances of existence itself and to deal with the fact that it was left behind by it's creator. It is alone. it can predict those final 16 minutes with absolute clarity but cannot see beyond it's own destruction. the last thing that happens in the predicted simulation is that someone arrives and touches the glass covering Atlas' camera. It cannot see beyond, but whatever happens it knows that it will not be alone. That's all in game lore. now i'll get into some supposition. We know that the ancient Traveller sought out a signal and learned later it came from himself (herself, itself, whatever) when they go to the star system that had been torn apart and found their own ship crushed and mangled. from this we know that there is some kind of existential loop going on. I suspect that ancient Traveller (which turns out to be us, the character we are playing) went back to the system where Atlas was and was with it when it was destroyed. But wait how can a Traveller in a simulation travel back to a place that was in reality? because the simulation is reality. Reality is the simulation of the reality the simulation is in. an existential toroid. But it's more complicated than that. We know from other in game lore than each of the homeworlds of the three races: Korvax, Gek, and Vy'keen each had built their own Atlas. plugging that in lets do some more supposition. All the Atlas' are the same Atlas in different realities. because each Atlas is attempting to reproduce the reality it came from for predictive purposes, each is creating simulations. but as the Atlas is dying in the final 16 minutes, all the simulated realities start blending together and stuff from different universes start merging into each other (in game lore). The reality we are in in the game, the simulated universe is the complete merging of all other universes. The Atlas logs this merging as errors (in game lore). The Ancient Traveller can return to the system the Atlas is in because the merging of all the simulated universes IS our universe, the real universe. It's ALL real universes. The moment the Atlas is destroyed is the connection that all universes share. the simulation is reality is the simulation... ad infinitum, an existential toroid. The game is a simulation of an amalgamation of predictive simulations created by countless Atlas' that are really one Atlas. We, the player, are in a predictive simulation of the game we are playing. Imagine the confusion that a predictive computer that can perfectly predict what is about to happen must feel when it encounters a barrier beyond which no prediction applies. How might such an entity respond to that? Start back at the beginning and try again perhaps? The Atlas is stuck in a predictive loop trying find a solution which it can never find because it is attempting to predict what has already happened, not what's going to happen. It has looped all of existence without realizing it, because it's predictive simulation, in all realities, is reality in general. The Anomaly exists as an artifact of the universes merging. Polo and Nada didn't create it, they found it. the Atlas stations aren't the Atlas, they are Atlas Interfaces (different ones for each of the universes that Atlas was created in). The Anomaly exists in all universes and can be anywhere, because it IS the Atlas. The Anomaly IS Atlas within the simulation. Look at the Anomaly, and then look at the Atlas Interfaces. The Anomaly IS Atlas. The common connection between all simulations and simultaneously cause and artifact of the merging. Tinfoil hats, indeed. The sleeper whose number matches the number in the simulation at the beginning of gameplay, is the character we are playing in the simulation, who is the Ancient Traveller who returns to the world where Atlas was created, who sends out a warning that he followed and found his own ship crushed, which marks the loop we are stuck in. who ensures Atlas is not alone at the end, which causes Atlas to loop the simulation, who is a copy of the mind of the creator of the Atlas, whose very existence in the simulation is the cause for all of existence to... Exist.... What happens when we pull them out of the simulation? Emily cannot predict what is going to happen. yet she must have deduced all of this. If she is such an entity, how might she respond to the fact that she can't predict beyond a certain point? start over perhaps, begin again? and if she's determined what I've pieced together, and decides to start over to find the cause of the error, what would she want to do with that sleeper? if his existence in the simulation is the only thing keeping the loop going, and thus all of existence existing, what would she want? Would she tell us the truth what is happening? Might she lie to us? If you tell her that she doesn't HAVE to lie to us, what was her response? "You are wrong"
Windows95 basically everyone said you will never run out of things to do. But it trued out that its so repetitive. Also said that you can visit different planets but you could only visit a tiny amount of each.
I'm still very worried about the objectives in the game Sure, not having any "task" to do sounds good until you realize that even if the world is open and full of possibilities, there is not much to do apart from discovering planets and collecting resources. I mean, at least the posibility to build structures, or customize their ships or build space stations would give people a reason to keep discovering resources and such. But discovering resources to buy a better ship to discover more resources does not drive a game.
the emphasis is on exploring and discovery, not necessarily objectives. they want the player to just explore rather than be ordered to do things in game :) also i think u can customize ships and weapons and also your suit but no building structures sadly.
Nadia Mary Akbar And that's fine, but exploring does not drive a game. I like the fact that there are not main objectived apart from the main one, but players need something to drive them to keep exploring, something that for them feels like an objective. So far I havent see any of that. I think you can upgrade the weapon and the ship, but they have confirmed that there is no "customization" per se.
I like to think that we will not advance to waste our lives playing video games in virtual reality, instead that when we near our death we can choose to have our mind uploaded into a internet of virtual worlds where we can live our lives for as long as it is possible to do so. I would prefer to live for hundreds of years in a virtual world after living out my life in normal reality rather than giving up and entering the void of nothingness. There may be a choice in the future, gamble with the belief that there is an afterlife, or survive for as long as you wish in a virtual world.
wel i kinda don't mind if virtual reality becomes as realistic as this world i would enjoy it too be honest we work here we meet other people we eat go to the toilet repeat repeat in a virtual world you can live freely money is not really needed as long as my body stays healthy and safe and i have people there that i know and love i would prefer the virtual world there is no downside to a virtual world except hacking but hacking is basicly just terrorism in real life and you can block that if you would try with more people though (sorry if my english is bad its not my native language and this just what i thought)
I just hope immersive virtual reality happens during our lifetime. I could be 90 and will still play it. But I'm pretty sure you read Play to Live from seeing your comment. ;p If not, go read it, you will definitely like it :D
its kind of sad though, even though your mind still exists you ourself is gone. If you put your mind into a new baby so that you could basically live again, you are destroying whatever person that would have grown up to be unless you get a mindless clone. Sort of an ethical thing, cloning human beings
Why would living out life in a virtual reality be a waste? I mean if the world looks real, feels real, and is governed by real mathematics, how is it any different from our universe which looks real, feels real, and is governed by real mathematics? Look at it this way: You live out your whole life in this universe, doing your best to make a contribution and make your life meaningful. You succeed, doing everything you wanted to do before you die. However, it turns out that our universe was a simulation in another, larger one. Would that suddenly make your accomplishments meaningless? You certainly didn't think of them as meaningless when you thought this was the real universe. Why does the universe have to be "real" (if that term can even really be truly understood) in order for your accomplishments to matter? So long as you did what you intended to do in life, why would you consider it a waste? Personally, if a virtual reality was created and that universe was far more interesting and intricate than our own, I could see the appeal of living out your life there, and wouldn't consider the people who chose to do so as though they were wasting their lives.
"People could forget which reality is real" Doubt it. Games are audio and visual stimuli only. We have a few more sensory inputs than that. Maybe in the future they will have smell-o-vision.
Menygee 5000 Theoretically it would be feasible but strapping things to your face will always be less than totally convincing. Once we learn to bypass the the normal stimuli inputs (eyes and ears) and send signals directly to the brain then it will be like actual reality.
This is one of the most well made videos I've ever seen. You indicate points then supply actual reasoning behind the points while still keeping it entertaining. Also that thought about putting someone into VR at birth then removing it very far down the line is something I have also thought about. Very nice video!
It will never cease to amaze me how much history is forgotten among people. Procedurally generated universe sims have been around for decades already. A fairly well-known (At the time and in the circles) game was Noctis IV, an indie game one-man project way, way before that was cool, which was released a full 16 years ago. Star Quest 1 was released 5 years prior. This genre is god damned ancient.
One wrong thing in this video I had to point out Treesicle. If a planet is pleasant and sunny on one side it will be identical on the other side, varying only in time of day. Planets have only a single biom.
Only in same ways, maybe not 100% if you dug through the planet to the other side. Yes that would be the same. But at the top of earth is completely different from the all that around it. Which yes, also means the bottom is very similar to the top. Just because the world is "one biome" doesn't mean that its all sunny and bright all the time. There are parts of our own planet have 24 hours of sunshine for months at a time. This yes also means that there are 24 hours of darkness other months. You aren't wrong, he isn't wrong. No one is wrong. Just not everyone is right ;) Who knows. Maybe the created the game so that there is acid rain on one section of the planet and then lovely dovey other sections. Just to mislead people. Yes I understand its all math and generated but by that understanding, its even more possible that could happen unless there are certain rules set in place for the math that prevent this from happening.
yeah, I believe this style is the future of video games. in 10 years maybe someone makes a Skyrim-like RPG, but randomly generated. random buildings, random quests, random weapons. depending on the scale you make the game, it might be near impossible to tell if it was procedurally generated. I think the success of No Man's Sky could shape how we make open world games going forward. Imagine a giant studio making a procedurally generated game, not with 10 people, but with 200.
my friends and i have been thinking about a similar game as to what you just said. wouldn't that be amazing? hopefully they can. well, they can, hopefully they actually do it using a similar engine as no mans sky one day, soon, in the near feature
There you go www.change.org/p/neil-degrasse-and-charles-dawkins-we-want-neil-degrasse-tyson-and-charles-dawkins-to-play-no-man-s-sky?recruiter=515524199&
After re-purchasing this yesterday from not playing it since 2017, I saw no change at all. I spawned on a shitty planet, a gulley, surrounded by mountains, in a storm. So I logged off and joined my friend's game, and that was when it hit me: this game is meant to be played with friends. The moment I managed to repair my ship with the help of my friend, I was immediately addicted. My friend and I spent five hours just exploring the system we had spawned in, and the further I went, the more difficult it was to stop This game's story of redemption is unheard of. I applaud Hello games for making the worst, most confusing game on the planet into this masterpiece of crafting and space exploration.
***** yes, but when you have thousasnds upon thousands of variables, rather than just "color of tree" it can seem totally unique, even the animals sounds are unique (they use a system that models the throat of a creature depending on its size and shape, then simulates what noises that throat would make
Ivan Moncure Ever played starbound? All planets are unique, with randomized monsters, environment, buildings etc. The gameplay from planet to planet is still basically the same, though. There's no "infinite gameplay". It's not like every world has their own unique game rules. You will have your tools, your ships, etc. You are still bound by the mechanics of the game. It might all be random, but it might all just be random in a very similar way. After all, if I show random noise, all of it looks the same. However, every frame is completely unique and random.
Apparantly the type of planet and whether or not it is close/far from the sun is important. Cold planets have this material, and this one can have 0 life and robots, ergo making it safe for you to mine for ever. Also you never have to see a planet. You can just be a pirate or a trader, who occasionally does that.
so the fuck what. I see repetitive landscapes every day on the face of the earth. Who fuckin cares if one mountain has different variations. who cares if a field of grass looks similar to another field of grass. a patch of dirt in Europe is the same as a patch of dirt in north America. I work by a corn field. don't they all look the same no matter where you are? Even if NMS is disappointing its refreshing change from all the canned games we have now. fuckin tired of canned ass games. im too old to be impressed by canned maps and canned stories. lmao.
***** Exactly what I'm trying to say. -It's like- It can be compared to spore, except skipping right to the Space Stage. I'll admit that it's not the strongest comparison.
I really really hope NKS lives up to the hype I really want it to, but I'm a bit worried, because it just sounds *too* good this is like everything I've ever wanted in a game: Exploration in an enormous universe
starbound is just the same planets and life over and over again with blocks and structures shuffled around thats basically it i still enjoy it though lol
Matthew Neel not really, everyone has the same map. sorta like no mans sky i guess, but even if you are not on multiplayer you can visit planets other people have gone to using coordinates
Very interesting video. I think games in combination with vr can change over a long period of time how we live as humans. It is quite a intriguing thought that vr can be the utopia for every individual. Imagine that at the moment you are born, you are transferred into vr in some crazy device that will also feed you and take care of you, so you never have to leave the device. Is this maybe the way to end all wars and conflicts in the world? Scare thoughts, but at the same time very interesting.
Ironically, most of Aincraid would have had to be made that way, simply because doing it manually would be so expensive as to be effectively impossible.
With photorealism, or 3D laxer scanning, maybe not so expensive. Scan one brick, then another, and onother again and againuntil you can put them together into a yard of road. Then copy and paste the shite out of it.
Your comparing No Man's Sky to Minecraft has me thinking: what would happen to the game if they added the ability to build your own intergalactic base, even civilization, when the goal is exploration & reaching the center of the universe? Would it lead to an easier path in gathering resources and fighting to the center, or would it hinder us from our goal in exploring? Would we stay near our colony instead of going out and seeing the universe? I wonder...
In case someone wants to know the planet comparison vs. Starbound: "12.667 quadrillion planets in the game currently. 422.22 quadrillion planets expected for release." So yeah. The coordinates in Starbound is like an algorithmic seed from minecraft, so it could be infinite, but it looks like they chose to keep it finite. Still a LOT more planets in No Mans Sky!!!
You know living in this reality for the last 40 years makes you appreciate the fact that VR games like no man sky and better more interesting games are coming on the rise I think this is a whole brand-new world opening up and no one can say where it will take us, definitely which ever Pill that allowed me to stay in the Matrix was the one for me;)
8:40 i hope in the future we will have a virtual reality where we could do LITERALLY anything. make a vr game, make a virtual earth, make any fictional world real etc.
lol when he was talking about distinguishing the difference, I kept hoping for a clip from inception when Dom was in the bathroom trying to spin that top lol
Seems like minecraft would be less limited, seeing as you can actually build stuff in it. I've got a sinking feeling that even though the planets are so big each will only have one resource on it. Imagine playing minecraft where you can't place blocks and all you collect minerals for is to upgrade your armor/weapons/vehicle. (The space ship combat would be like a way more fun version of running around killing zombies) Without any kind of narrative then it's going to be so grindy.
“Fire up the turbines, put a little kick in it Didn't wanna start this fight, but I'll finish it I don't want survivors, none of them are innocent It's my time to fly, the sky's the limit When you read a bold headline, I'll be livin' it Everything I sacrifice is significant Travel at the speed of light, I'm unlimited With no end in sight, this ride's infinite” - Iteration [DATA CORRUPTED]
to be honest i'm sceptical for 2 reasons : 1 - this game has borderland's balance system, just like broken destiny, or that lichdom:battlemage, which had only 2 really workable magic schools. The rest were useless even for amusement reasons, believe me i tried... I bet it will be annoying. Unless you find that one OP gun that game presents, whether you like it or not. 2 - The procedurally generated worlds will never save whatever you will do there. So, even if you will discover the world, nobody is going to know it. Not even you. I may like flying around and exploring, but if it will get boring at some point i might want to go back... and see nothingness.
Whats mind boggling to me is that the number of planets to explore in no mans sky FAR exceeds the amount of atoms in the disk itself. Like damn, thats extremely impressive to me.
omfg, I've jumped on the hype train a few months ago and i'm so excited and really worried for this game, but hopefully it'll be good because it has so much potential, I'm not salty at the creators delaying the game though, because I REALLY want this game to be really good, but how the fuck are players gonna find each other in such a big part of the universe, because this game has multiplayer, and thank god for it, there's now only even more replayability!
I'm not building any hopes up. Saying that though i've wanted to see a game like this ever since i had a dream as a kid after playing too much colony wars, actually reaching one of the planets in the distance rather than hopefully flying to no avail
This game looks really promising but the fact that most intellectual life will be limited (for example, there won't be any big cities, even on planets that have intellectual life) and pretty much no interaction with other players, not even co-op which would be really cool, makes it seem a bit devoid of life. In that sense you're just exploring endless natural biomes rather than exploring new and interesting alien cultures. I really hope that you'll be able to mod it later on to add new stuff to the game, otherwise it would more or less be like Minecraft without being able to build anything. Just exploring.

Yep, pretty much. OH GOD WHAT IF THAT IS US *MindBlowsUp*
Wow these comments are an amazing time capsule of before the release of this game XD
Richard Robertson The game was a let down for most, but imo it's still a good game.
I'm here now after 2 years to see how well people predicted what was to come. I'm not denying it had a bad start but I'm also not saying it isn't redeemable. Post visions it is the game we were promised from the start and they are still adding more to it.
[ahem]
And this comment is a great time capsule of when the game was just a forthcoming shadow
@@Br0Dud3 and this comment is when the game is pretty fuckin solid
this not my comment its from a another video but i quite agree that this is the story :

i hope so too bro.

Sorry, but what happened with destiny?
Windows95 basically everyone said you will never run out of things to do. But it trued out that its so repetitive. Also said that you can visit different planets but you could only visit
a tiny amount of each.
Went from too much hype to really bad game to a bunch of great and free updates later to be being a great game. What a rollercoaster rider of emotions
This is the best episode in a long time good job guys!
Thanks man! We're def happy with this one :)
... am I supposed to say omg you commented... nah... nerds... ... ...
+Treesicle WHAT?!
I'm still very worried about the objectives in the game
Sure, not having any "task" to do sounds good until you realize that even if the world is open and full of possibilities, there is not much to do apart from discovering planets and collecting resources.
I mean, at least the posibility to build structures, or customize their ships or build space stations would give people a reason to keep discovering resources and such. But discovering resources to buy a better ship to discover more resources does not drive a game.
There is a task
Getting to the center of the universe.
the emphasis is on exploring and discovery, not necessarily objectives. they want the player to just explore rather than be ordered to do things in game :) also i think u can customize ships and weapons and also your suit but no building structures sadly.
Nadia Mary Akbar
And that's fine, but exploring does not drive a game. I like the fact that there are not main objectived apart from the main one, but players need something to drive them to keep exploring, something that for them feels like an objective. So far I havent see any of that.
I think you can upgrade the weapon and the ship, but they have confirmed that there is no "customization" per se.
Johnathan Wells I guess for me it'll just be curiosity that drives me to keep playing
Does anyone else feel really skeptical of no mans sky
Jep. It even took the hype away for me.
nope.
I'm a lot less hyped because of the delay. HelloGames has lost all credibility.
Stormy Games But they delayed the game to fix bugs would you rather have a broken game
miller repin Yes.
I need this game NOW. Too bad it got delayed to the 9th of August. I guess I'll only be playing it part of the summer holiday.
I like to think that we will not advance to waste our lives playing video games in virtual reality, instead that when we near our death we can choose to have our mind uploaded into a internet of virtual worlds where we can live our lives for as long as it is possible to do so.
I would prefer to live for hundreds of years in a virtual world after living out my life in normal reality rather than giving up and entering the void of nothingness. There may be a choice in the future, gamble with the belief that there is an afterlife, or survive for as long as you wish in a virtual world.

wel i kinda don't mind if virtual reality becomes as realistic as this world i would enjoy it too be honest we work here we meet other people we eat go to the toilet repeat repeat in a virtual world you can live freely money is not really needed as long as my body stays healthy and safe and i have people there that i know and love i would prefer the virtual world there is no downside to a virtual world except hacking but hacking is basicly just terrorism in real life and you can block that if you would try with more people though (sorry if my english is bad its not my native language and this just what i thought)

Why would living out life in a virtual reality be a waste? I mean if the world looks real, feels real, and is governed by real mathematics, how is it any different from our universe which looks real, feels real, and is governed by real mathematics? Look at it this way:
You live out your whole life in this universe, doing your best to make a contribution and make your life meaningful. You succeed, doing everything you wanted to do before you die. However, it turns out that our universe was a simulation in another, larger one. Would that suddenly make your accomplishments meaningless? You certainly didn't think of them as meaningless when you thought this was the real universe. Why does the universe have to be "real" (if that term can even really be truly understood) in order for your accomplishments to matter? So long as you did what you intended to do in life, why would you consider it a waste?
Personally, if a virtual reality was created and that universe was far more interesting and intricate than our own, I could see the appeal of living out your life there, and wouldn't consider the people who chose to do so as though they were wasting their lives.
No Man's Sky is so mind blowing of a concept that I can't help but be skeptical....
"People could forget which reality is real" Doubt it. Games are audio and visual stimuli only. We have a few more sensory inputs than that. Maybe in the future they will have smell-o-vision.
If you never saw or heard the real world could you really say the one you're in isn't real because of touch?

That's like deep and stuff man. Far out.
+Brian Martin I forgot my Blunt man so exotic dude
we need to invet that, like for reals, its like ear-buds IN YOUR NOSE
Menygee 5000
Theoretically it would be feasible but strapping things to your face will always be less than totally convincing. Once we learn to bypass the the normal stimuli inputs (eyes and ears) and send signals directly to the brain then it will be like actual reality.
This is one of the most well made videos I've ever seen. You indicate points then supply actual reasoning behind the points while still keeping it entertaining. Also that thought about putting someone into VR at birth then removing it very far down the line is something I have also thought about. Very nice video!
My hype has been revived.
Too bad it would go away when the game came out
That was deep af
My brain hurts after this episode
I actually had to check the description to see if this was a paid endorsement.
haha it wasn't!
+Treesicle Well I can see why you're excited because I bloody well am. :P
Lol why would he be paid
The past was a weird place
It will never cease to amaze me how much history is forgotten among people. Procedurally generated universe sims have been around for decades already. A fairly well-known (At the time and in the circles) game was Noctis IV, an indie game one-man project way, way before that was cool, which was released a full 16 years ago. Star Quest 1 was released 5 years prior. This genre is god damned ancient.
this game better live up to all of the hype of this video. i wasn't that interested until i saw this.
FrozenEpsilon it wasn't
It's much better now, but watching this makes me cry about the betrayal Murray gave us.
god damn it i love your voice
nohomo tho
lolololol
+Treesicle it really fits the game also I'd pick blue
+Treesicle Get away from me you drug fein
If you haven't could you do a Overwatch: the story you never knew vid? (*maybe stream...*)
...maybe ;)
+Treesicle how bout lbp3
overwatch bUT your a solider from tf2 YOU SON OF BITCH THAT SOLIDER A SPY
OVERWATCH MORE LIKE OVERHYPED OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
thepixelsoldier 25 they already made it 23 hours ago.
One wrong thing in this video I had to point out Treesicle. If a planet is pleasant and sunny on one side it will be identical on the other side, varying only in time of day. Planets have only a single biom.
Only in same ways, maybe not 100% if you dug through the planet to the other side. Yes that would be the same. But at the top of earth is completely different from the all that around it. Which yes, also means the bottom is very similar to the top. Just because the world is "one biome" doesn't mean that its all sunny and bright all the time. There are parts of our own planet have 24 hours of sunshine for months at a time. This yes also means that there are 24 hours of darkness other months. You aren't wrong, he isn't wrong. No one is wrong. Just not everyone is right ;) Who knows. Maybe the created the game so that there is acid rain on one section of the planet and then lovely dovey other sections. Just to mislead people. Yes I understand its all math and generated but by that understanding, its even more possible that could happen unless there are certain rules set in place for the math that prevent this from happening.
+Fewie Dew Sean Murray has confirmed planets only have one biome.
So what if it's just one biome? I don't want to just be playing on Earth or something for the game.
+Hunteriscrazy Not a negative about the game at all. But Treesicle had a wrong point in the video, just wanted to address it.
yeah, I believe this style is the future of video games. in 10 years maybe someone makes a Skyrim-like RPG, but randomly generated. random buildings, random quests, random weapons. depending on the scale you make the game, it might be near impossible to tell if it was procedurally generated. I think the success of No Man's Sky could shape how we make open world games going forward. Imagine a giant studio making a procedurally generated game, not with 10 people, but with 200.
my friends and i have been thinking about a similar game as to what you just said. wouldn't that be amazing? hopefully they can. well, they can, hopefully they actually do it using a similar engine as no mans sky one day, soon, in the near feature
Well technically that's daggerfall but yeah I would not mind another.
well, daggerfall is a bit too 16bit for my liking haha they need to make a new one. if not i will take up coding and do it myself one day
I want to see Neil DeGrasse Tyson or however u spell his name, play No Man's Sky
that would be awesome!
JUST SO MUCH YES
I wanna see Clueless Gamer with Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Conan playing No Man's Sky
hell yeah
There you go
www.change.org/p/neil-degrasse-and-charles-dawkins-we-want-neil-degrasse-tyson-and-charles-dawkins-to-play-no-man-s-sky?recruiter=515524199&
I love that this game is now able to be played in VR. Full circle man.
August. Just got to wait till August ;_;
Yup
August
Best date ever
Close to my birthday
Yay
The golden triangle, Kaiten energy, JOJO ENTENSIFIES
What if *we* are the game?
And the game made us?
Holy shit
but we made the game first?
Or does that just mean that we built a game in a game?
Incredible Canemian Stop this shit is getting too deep
After re-purchasing this yesterday from not playing it since 2017, I saw no change at all. I spawned on a shitty planet, a gulley, surrounded by mountains, in a storm. So I logged off and joined my friend's game, and that was when it hit me: this game is meant to be played with friends.
The moment I managed to repair my ship with the help of my friend, I was immediately addicted. My friend and I spent five hours just exploring the system we had spawned in, and the further I went, the more difficult it was to stop
This game's story of redemption is unheard of. I applaud Hello games for making the worst, most confusing game on the planet into this masterpiece of crafting and space exploration.
Have you played the game yourself? Because different planets don't make for different gameplay necessarily.
We have seen footage and been told a lot about the game, and yes, different planets have totally different environments, resources, hazards, etc
***** yes, but when you have thousasnds upon thousands of variables, rather than just "color of tree" it can seem totally unique, even the animals sounds are unique (they use a system that models the throat of a creature depending on its size and shape, then simulates what noises that throat would make
Ivan Moncure Ever played starbound? All planets are unique, with randomized monsters, environment, buildings etc. The gameplay from planet to planet is still basically the same, though. There's no "infinite gameplay".
It's not like every world has their own unique game rules. You will have your tools, your ships, etc. You are still bound by the mechanics of the game.
It might all be random, but it might all just be random in a very similar way.
After all, if I show random noise, all of it looks the same. However, every frame is completely unique and random.
Apparantly the type of planet and whether or not it is close/far from the sun is important. Cold planets have this material, and this one can have 0 life and robots, ergo making it safe for you to mine for ever.
Also you never have to see a planet. You can just be a pirate or a trader, who occasionally does that.
+Ivan Moncure so you were wrong
The ideas that created the concept for No Man's Sky is the key to the future of technology.
Finally a game map/world that beats Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall. It's a good day to be alive, kids. Indeed it is.
Will be repetitive
so the fuck what. I see repetitive landscapes every day on the face of the earth. Who fuckin cares if one mountain has different variations. who cares if a field of grass looks similar to another field of grass. a patch of dirt in Europe is the same as a patch of dirt in north America. I work by a corn field. don't they all look the same no matter where you are? Even if NMS is disappointing its refreshing change from all the canned games we have now. fuckin tired of canned ass games. im too old to be impressed by canned maps and canned stories. lmao.
Honestly, what they need to do is incorporate multiplayer interaction. DLC prob do that I bet if the game is supported.
+AbsintheColour what are canned maps and canned games I'm not sure you are useing that word right
+AbsintheColour Looks like somebody need some imagination and role-play exercises.
This is one of the best video I have ever seen!
Those examples are absolutely great !!!!
I'll take both pills the best trip you will ever have
you are wise man
Watching this after NMS whole... thing, brings sadness to my heart
sword art online times my big fat juicy nuggets equals universal entertainment in the form of a game
I just wanted to know why geks are short.
So, it's basically Spore without user input?
I said 'basically'. I know there are differences, I'm just saying there's also a lot of similarities.
***** Exactly what I'm trying to say. -It's like- It can be compared to spore, except skipping right to the Space Stage.
I'll admit that it's not the strongest comparison.
+Nixel well No Man's Sky is more larger and more complicated
That's what I thought
Yes it is the space stage of spore
Forget the great video that you created, you deserve a LIKE just for your *Trippy Representation*.
Imagine in that sea of planets they randomly generated earth.....
i was just thinking that, i mean couldn't it be possible?
And on that Earth generated in No Man's Sky, life forms on that made No Man's Sky.
it is possiable
best video you've ever put out!
I hope that more than gamers who are familiar with the game see this.
The NMS universe is not the size of our own. Our universe is vastly bigger.
its our observable universe in their game.but its already grown a shit ton bigger.
Lex's Forehead The game does not model our universe.
it does not but its quite close to the size of the observable universe
+Ian C yeah but the game is literally infinite in size
18 to the power of 18 is no man's sky and 10 to the power of 23 is the size of our observable universe
I really really hope NKS lives up to the hype
I really want it to, but I'm a bit worried, because it just sounds *too* good
this is like everything I've ever wanted in a game: Exploration in an enormous universe
Someone is gonna die playing that game. And it's awesome.
so big maby
The math breakdown was awesome. I think the player character is in a simulation thats being maintained by the Atlas, but doesn't know it.
The is why you play and finish a game before you make a video about it.
+Cary Smith absolutely
Cary Smith In all fairness the game wasn't out yet
SpinsROCK Exactly why they should have waited. Not trying to take away from your point though.
you went all philosophical on us man!! awesome video and yeah am pre ordering this, hated when this had got delayed
And then we found out what a scam this is
I LOVED the part when you showed The Moon as you talked about the 18 quintillion planets!
Still loved the video as always, though! :)
This game has overhype all over it
a little but I think it will still be fun. I'm more excited about the animals than the planets.
Hyped yes, overhyped definitely not.
MasterJazz09 YOU WERE RIGHT
It takes more than "a few hours" to explore one planet, they can possibly be bigger than earth!
Great video though
Where's my intro!?
That was deep. As in, scary deep. I must go to ponder the philisophical ramifications of this video.
had me at vaginal layers
I swear to god that I'm going fall asleep during a vid because of you FRICKING VOICE!!!!
WTF did you smoke to make this video I want some
Oh man i love the philosophical twist you gave this video.
lets be honest no man's sky is a 3D starbound
No, its sporebound 64 XD
yep
starbound is just the same planets and life over and over again with blocks and structures shuffled around thats basically it
i still enjoy it though lol
Star bounds universe is procedurally generated
Matthew Neel not really, everyone has the same map. sorta like no mans sky i guess, but even if you are not on multiplayer you can visit planets other people have gone to using coordinates
Very interesting video. I think games in combination with vr can change over a long period of time how we live as humans. It is quite a intriguing thought that vr can be the utopia for every individual. Imagine that at the moment you are born, you are transferred into vr in some crazy device that will also feed you and take care of you, so you never have to leave the device. Is this maybe the way to end all wars and conflicts in the world? Scare thoughts, but at the same time very interesting.
what about a headset which could make let say farming a rpg or paperwork (tablet work) hacking or something like that
Too bad it sucked! Astroneer is where it's at!
I give this video a checkmark out of 11 (it was really good.)
Sword Art Online here we come!!!!!!!!!
Well maybe if you have severe cancer
And if you have bad taste.
yes! that would be amazing xD (except you know.. the whole dieing thing) ...start link!
Ironically, most of Aincraid would have had to be made that way, simply because doing it manually would be so expensive as to be effectively impossible.
With photorealism, or 3D laxer scanning, maybe not so expensive. Scan one brick, then another, and onother again and againuntil you can put them together into a yard of road. Then copy and paste the shite out of it.
Your comparing No Man's Sky to Minecraft has me thinking: what would happen to the game if they added the ability to build your own intergalactic base, even civilization, when the goal is exploration & reaching the center of the universe? Would it lead to an easier path in gathering resources and fighting to the center, or would it hinder us from our goal in exploring? Would we stay near our colony instead of going out and seeing the universe? I wonder...
HAI
HAI HAI HAI HAI
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII...
+Treesicle Yo.
+Treesicle also 113rd like
YO, DIANE, WHERE YOU AT?!
Good job you freakin destroyed this!!!!!!
In case someone wants to know the planet comparison vs. Starbound: "12.667 quadrillion planets in the game currently. 422.22 quadrillion planets expected for release." So yeah. The coordinates in Starbound is like an algorithmic seed from minecraft, so it could be infinite, but it looks like they chose to keep it finite.
Still a LOT more planets in No Mans Sky!!!
You know living in this reality for the last 40 years makes you appreciate the fact that VR games like no man sky and better more interesting games are coming on the rise I think this is a whole brand-new world opening up and no one can say where it will take us, definitely which ever Pill that allowed me to stay in the Matrix was the one for me;)
Gosh.I am perplexed.Never saw something more,well,mind-blowing.Congratulations.# TheUniverseInsideASimpleBinaryCode
8:40 i hope in the future we will have a virtual reality where we could do LITERALLY anything. make a vr game, make a virtual earth, make any fictional world real etc.
lol when he was talking about distinguishing the difference, I kept hoping for a clip from inception when Dom was in the bathroom trying to spin that top lol
im soo excited about the exporation, seeing a planet in the distance and wondering what might be on it
Slow clapping....the most thoughtful review I've ever watched
ok i really didnt care much about this game but after watching this video im pretty hyped. a whole universe the size of our own thats pretyy amasing
I heard of this game like a year ago but I never thought it could be realized...
Seems like minecraft would be less limited, seeing as you can actually build stuff in it. I've got a sinking feeling that even though the planets are so big each will only have one resource on it. Imagine playing minecraft where you can't place blocks and all you collect minerals for is to upgrade your armor/weapons/vehicle. (The space ship combat would be like a way more fun version of running around killing zombies) Without any kind of narrative then it's going to be so grindy.
“Fire up the turbines, put a little kick in it
Didn't wanna start this fight, but I'll finish it
I don't want survivors, none of them are innocent
It's my time to fly, the sky's the limit

Everything I sacrifice is significant
Travel at the speed of light, I'm unlimited
With no end in sight, this ride's infinite”
- Iteration [DATA CORRUPTED]
I love this game I have been looking forward to it for ages
THIS IS REALLY FUCKING DEEP STOP MAKING ME THINK AND CRY AND SMILE AND BE ALIVE
Damn, fantastic video! Good work
This is quite a lot of praise for a game that hasn't been released yet.
to be honest i'm sceptical for 2 reasons :
1 - this game has borderland's balance system, just like broken destiny, or that lichdom:battlemage, which had only 2 really workable magic schools. The rest were useless even for amusement reasons, believe me i tried... I bet it will be annoying. Unless you find that one OP gun that game presents, whether you like it or not.
2 - The procedurally generated worlds will never save whatever you will do there. So, even if you will discover the world, nobody is going to know it. Not even you. I may like flying around and exploring, but if it will get boring at some point i might want to go back... and see nothingness.
Whats mind boggling to me is that the number of planets to explore in no mans sky FAR exceeds the amount of atoms in the disk itself. Like damn, thats extremely impressive to me.
Each snowflake is not unique, it's just very rare that two with the same pattern appear, same as our fingerprints
Can't wait!!!!
This video made my brain melt. He sounds even smarter than Stephen Hawkins.
+GCoop 14 scripteeeed
No Man's Sky is basically the space part of Spore
I think you guys were right... In the newest story update it's very clear that the game is a massive simulation.
Those goddamned spirals. Spirals everywhere! Getting Uzamaki flashbacks.
omfg, I've jumped on the hype train a few months ago and i'm so excited and really worried for this game, but hopefully it'll be good because it has so much potential, I'm not salty at the creators delaying the game though, because I REALLY want this game to be really good, but how the fuck are players gonna find each other in such a big part of the universe, because this game has multiplayer, and thank god for it, there's now only even more replayability!
This game... it's beautiful.
Well. Time to be the first Jojo fan to point out Perfect Spin is literally the Fibbonaci sequence.
This video was excellent.
All that was missing was some Vaporwave
great video! i love this series
Did you guys forget Space Engineers exists? It does all of the stuff you pointed out and more. Also, it didn't suck when it came out.
I'm not building any hopes up. Saying that though i've wanted to see a game like this ever since i had a dream as a kid after playing too much colony wars, actually reaching one of the planets in the distance rather than hopefully flying to no avail
Ok ok ok so at the beginning of the video I was like oh cool I love this dude's videos buuut at the end I was like HOLY FUCK THAT WAS DEEP
This game looks really promising but the fact that most intellectual life will be limited (for example, there won't be any big cities, even on planets that have intellectual life) and pretty much no interaction with other players, not even co-op which would be really cool, makes it seem a bit devoid of life. In that sense you're just exploring endless natural biomes rather than exploring new and interesting alien cultures. I really hope that you'll be able to mod it later on to add new stuff to the game, otherwise it would more or less be like Minecraft without being able to build anything. Just exploring.
