Game Discussions The No Man's Sky Thread

NMS is being made by 10 people... wow...

I still think it looks a tad cartoony, but flipping flippity flip, and holy wowzers, it's impressive!

And is it just me who finds it irritating how Sean always comes across as being such a nice guy...? [/joke]

I do think there is a decent dissertation to be done discussing Elite, NMS and SC - the methods and means of their production. From the outside I find it really interesting to see three such diverse approaches to delivery.

Beat No mans sky!

Hello, I'm here to speak for the people of xbox.
You guys need to beat Hello games with their future coming game "No Mans Sky". Their game looks very astonishing. You can go on planets, explore them, gather resources from them, and so much more. Many people and I think that you should let us touch foot on planets and explore each and every one! All what you need to do is generate them, just like Hello Games did. Im almost sure that you know why I'm writing this. I'm writing this because, No Mans Sky doesn't come out for Xbox one! We need a game just like it on here, and Elite Dangerous is the closest one to it! I acknowledge that the full game didn't come out yet, but I'm more then certain that the game will not implement this feature in it.
No mans sky has billions of life sized planets implemented into the game, where you can explore, gain resources, discover and name different plants/wild life/Planets. I do truly think you should consider this game changing feature, and allow us to have an amazing open world, all explorable, living science fiction game. Quintillions of real planets are in the game. Elite dangerous doesn't compare to that when their planets arent even touch down, explorable.

Don't kill the messenger for doing his job.
I hope many others will agree with me on this game changing feature/features

No Man's Sky may come to Xbox someday. The devs said they are open to it. One difference I personally see between the two is that No Man's Sky is more cartoon like compared to Elite. I think No Man's Sky looks really fun and I have no doubt it will be, but the realism of Elite is what brings me back day after day.

I think you're getting some facts muddled up. Elite uses procedural generation, that's why we have 400 billion systems and countless planets. No Man's Sky, last I heard has dozens of planets. All I can really say though is, have you not heard of Horizons? Or Googled the future of elite?

I'm definitely picking that up the day it comes out for the PS4, but I am not a big fan of the Anime looking kind of space they appear to be using. But... It looks like it will have a lot of good gameplay associated with it, and you can never have too many space games, so... ;)

NMS also uses Procedural Generation and has just as many star systems as ED has if not more. Don't know where you heard it only had dozens of planets. More like trillions. ;)

I do believe that this is the right section for this post, and correct me if Im wrong.

Hello un-knowing cadet, Elite Dangerous Horizon's is the first step to what you're talking of with landing on planet's. However Elite will be adding this gradually starting with airless rocky planet's then working there way up over the next few year's. Also I hate seeing NMS praised so because I fell all this hype will lead to a huge backlash from the average gamer who just bought into the hype and then realized it's not the game they were seeing in there head, I've seen this happen before and it's not pretty.

The comment I heard from the developer on a Colbert I had DVRed was something along the lines of, "There is a theoretical chance you might run into another player, but that's fairly remote."

They also bandied about a figure of some number of Quintillions of planets, I believe. Whereas as I understand it, Elite has 400 Billion, maybe I'm settling, but somehow I don't think I'm going to miss the Quntillions and change.

Also, No Mans Sky apparently intentionally diverges from reality, it begins from a fantasy standpoint, another comment the dev made on Colbert was "We made up our own periodic table."
For example, Oxygen is replaced by Oxycin...not sure if the name change is only that, or if Oxycin has some unique properties that somehow different from Oxygen, yet filling a similar niche in NMS' chemical vocabulary.

They showed him blowing a hole through some innocent asteroid that was just in his way, but never mentioned another word about combat, is it even there? You'd never know from the gameplay demo on Colbert.
You can name Systems, Planets, and Animals, which would be a really neat feature.

NMS has the advantage of starting from scratch, they have no expectations to live up to, nothing to measure them against, except strangely Elite, which *is* trying to be a reality-based future history of humanity, in our galaxy, with all the most up to date data on known bodies and procedurally generated remainder. So Elite not only has to measure itself against its own predecessors and NMS, but also reality and the extent of our knowledge and understanding of the parts we don't have direct knowledge of. In Elite the fantasy element comes into the technology and the "future history" part of it, NMS is a fantasy created from whole cloth, its developers have apparently made a conscious choice to free themselves from the constraints of our universe and created their own.

Well, If youve seen the updated gameplay of it, You most likely wouldnt call it "Cartoon like" Its a very realistic, science fiction game.

So, we've provided you with the info to, I would presume, bring ED on par with NMS in your eyes, given the content of your initial post. You've completely ignored that info and got all defensive over NMS. What gives?

Quick, someone over at FD needs to name a station after Colbert or Neil DeGrasse-Tyson or Chuck Lorre or Larry Wilmore(someone call him, I *know* he'd love this, openly calls himself a "blerd")...and get thoe guys to talk about it like nauw!
There's GOT to be a "Cooper" Station somewhere? Is there a "Hofstadter"? "Wolowitz?"(natural candidate, he *is* an astronaut) "Koothrappali?"
Too bad Letterman is retired, naming a station after him seems like a lead pipe cinch, that gap in his teeth would have doubled for a mailslot.

No Man's Sky will no doubt be fun. I have no idea when it will see a release though.
I only know a vague concept of the game: It seems you are supposed to go to the center of the galaxy for some reason.
I understood you can only play it in multiplayer mode. Which is something I dislike very much.
I doubt I will be able to put up with it's colours for long, but I will see.
I prefer the less cartoon-like and more realistic depiction of the galaxy in Elite.

Elite has billions of planets and stars, each star having its own solar system. Each planet differens and unique in its own way. W

That's the complete opposite of what the game is about. Getting to the center of the galaxy is an accomplishment, that will never be required to do. It gives the game an objective. A very, hard to achieve, objective. You don't need to go to the center of the galaxy. You can choose what to do, when you want to do it.

May I suggest that this forum might be a more appropriate place for this discussion? I have an overwhelming urge to discuss the airspeed velocity of unladen Swallows and you're disturbing my ability to keep it in check!
