Special Agent Sigvan Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 That. Looks. Awesome.It's cheap too. Rodina is pretty much No Man's Sky. But on PC and here right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuSouONumero345 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Promises and promises, let's see what's it gonna look like in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorThomas Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 NMS does promise a lot, but it may well deliver. 1. It's already won a design award. Some of us (including me) admire its art style, straight out of the 1950s & 1960s Colliers Magazine.2. It's multiplayer, but the universe is vast. 2^64 star systems. That's 1.8 with 19 zeroes after it. Or, 100 billion times as many stars as our Milky Way galaxy. You are far more likely to encounter a system already explored (and named) by another player than you are to randomly stumble upon another player. So it won't be Eve all over again.3. The lead programmer / founder of Hello Games grew up playing "Elite" so he's inspired by that series, but isn't making something exactly like Elite.4. So what do you do in NMS? I'm going to fly everywhere and see how many new and compelling planets (some with complex life!) I can find. Kind of like what Kerbals would do once they "graduate" to warp drive engines. One could also see this as a trading / resource gathering / pirate combat game, but those aspects will be mostly PvE and hence not as interesting. But perhaps these elements will spice things up a shade, make this more interesting than "Space Engine."I for one am really looking forward to this. I'll even purchase a new PS4 or PC when released in order to play it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoDex Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Seems like a Space Engine clone to me, with resource gathering, space battles, et cetera, added on.Plus, I doubt the PS4 will be able to handle it, if it runs at all like SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game might be cool, but I'm not an FPS player, and I like my physics at least somewhat realistic. Not really for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you make a procedurally generated space game without N-body simulation?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuoDex Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I have a felling you are being sarcastic about the N-body thing...Nop.KSP is not a procedurally generated space game, I'm not whining about that.

Slam_Jones Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So how does the community think it stacks up against Star Citizen? Personally, that's where I'm putting all my chips (mainly because I got a Beta invite for it via purchasing a new GPU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorThomas Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 SC and NMS are so different, hard to compare them. SC has extremely detailed ships / combat and focuses on people interacting with people, but in space, so... FPS, ship combat, trading, missions.NMS is a huge, detailed universe (truly vast) where the point is to discover nice things such as life forms. There are ships, combat and trading but those seem more an afterthought. With even the music, ships and place names procedurally generated, NMS feels more a relaxing, contemplative exploration than a "game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoDex Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So basically, Space Engine, or Celestia?And if there's life forms, I want to be able to tow a Mars-sized body into a collision course with their planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowolf Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I decided a while back I was totally done with space games that do WWII aircraft combat. If your game has a "spaceship" that has a top speed, has to run the engine to maintain that speed, banks into turns, and only fires it's weapons in the direction where the nose is pointed, then it's a WWII airplane and you won't get my money.When I'm in the mood to dogfight with machine guns, there are plenty of flight sims that do it better. Give me something NEW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas988 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 To be fully honest, I more excited for the game Space Engine will be made into once the developer reaches $8,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, SE has some great potential. It just needs to be liberated...I still find the controls too unwieldy for it to be much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotengineer Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It seems like there are a lot of games like this, Space Engine, No Man's Sky, Limit Theory, etc. A quick Google search of 'Procedural Universe Game' came up with a lot of different games. Is this a trend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas988 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Is this a trend?Now that you mention it, it does seem to be on the rse. Heck, even space seems to be ever-increasing in popularity now. The amount of space games recently has been crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamango247 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 best. trend. ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 It looks nice, but I can't really say I know anything more about the game after watching the E3 video than I did after reading the first page of this thread (the first I'd heard of it). From what I can tell, I think I'll stick to space engineers. It's never going to have procedurally generated wildlife (that would be neat though), but I'm more inclined to ship construction in my space games as a matter of preference.

megatiger78 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 this is one of the top space sims in the world. 3rd or fourth place, with SC and ED in the top, not sure in what order. ksp is either third or fourth as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoworm Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Would be awesome if they´d announce Linux support. It probably won´t happen, but I´ve got my fingers crossed EDIT:They actually announced Linux!!!
