Something I’ve noticed and has me really excited is that horizon. Even the largest planets in no man’s sky are still small enough to really notice that curve in the horizon. Where as here, the world is so large that horizon actually appears like what we see on earth. Very excited to see how they handle the world generation and how bioms are distributed.
Really hope it gets PSVR2 support! Hopefully they can use some of the amazing work they have put into foveated rendering for NMS, it looks so amazing in VR!
…and PC VR as well!
Yes! I hope it comes to PSVR 2 and PCVR.
"Not wide as a scope as No Man's Sky". The world is larger than the Earth. This will be, by far, the largest game world ever created (to my knowledge).
You guys always make me feel better ☺️
I remember playing No Man’s Sky in VR and I could not stop laughing and geeking out at the creatures and little alien guys at each station you could visit. It looked amazing!
Bring it on!!!! Looks amazing all aboard the hype train!
if this is No Man's Sky on a massive planet and playable in VR, i am totally in it.
Yup its pretty much a no mans sky gaxaly but all on one planet
It needs to be like Valheim and Terreria, and not Ark or Rust
The ambition and medieval style is really cool! I wonder if Hello will try early access, they've shown that they CAN put an amazing game together with enough time.
They neglected to comment on how pretty this actually is. It looks significantly more vibrant with less compromises to the graphics than in the average No Man's Sky planet. (Here's hoping they actually incorporate some of the effects here into No Man's Sky like the improved reflections and global illuimination).
i can't wait !
Rich: "The next thing that caught our eye..."
Alex: starts squinting
So excited for this. Hello Games 👍
I wonder if we'll get a free base building system like Minecraft not locked behing claiming a base like in No Man's Sky. I'd understand why it could be useful but this would not allow cities etc to be built. Also this would feel like No Man's Sky, but fantasy (which would be great but we still need some changes).
I'm sure they can find a way to make it so elements placed by one user cannot be destroyed, but still have a system for preventing trolls from abusing it through a hidding system. Still the place would remain not buildable, but the collision would be disabled.
Hello Game = Buy
Reminds me of survival-focused Daggerfall in a way. Looking forward to it.
I'll try it out 3 years after release
Really hope it has dungeons underground similar to terraria and minecraft! That along with the building and online element and survival, this will easily be a huuuuge hit across any platform it comes to and to many different gamers 😎 way to go HG!
My concern is the launch window for this game. This is apparently a small development team and they could be launching at a time when there could be staggered next gen hardware releases. How will Hello games manage so many platforms if they anticipate a multiplatform launch.
Can’t wait for this game. I hope it comes to PSVR 2 & PCVR.
its a bigger Valhime?
First real open world earth with everyone playing on the same server, so oliemack knows the extent of the multiplayer.
It reminds me of Valheim.
This has a good concept going on and Ill keep an eye on it. Hopefully they have learned a lot from NMS as that game got amazing imo. That said I still have major doubts with them and wont be buying it till I see what everyone else is saying.
It looks like a Valheim type game but using hello games DNA of no mans sky
Cmon guy you are pro's how did you missed Sean Murrey saying "we gonna let everyone play it together" and its open world in a sense of its never ending open world, no just generated world or co-op Sean basically said it will be true MMO.
True he did said that, I was wondering if this was MMO too
Like Rust maybe? I hope not, as it will not go far. Would need some "passthrough" option or a large potential player base will not tolerate the amount of people playing the game simply to troll others. We'll have to wait and see. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Omg did we learn nothing from the no man’s sky launch? Stop it. Stop it now. It’s not going to be an mmo, expect valheim, coop, with the option to buy persistent servers.
idk dude that what he said you can check announcement on game awards or my last video.@@Elysiumlost
yeah I don't think its gonna be the same as NMS just watch what he said.@@The-Steve-The
procedural generation is way more interesting. makes it feel like you're the first to discover something, because often you are. I think NMS does it fairly well and it's gotten better too. it's definitely the future for most open world games too, merge it with AI generation (for textures and meshes) and stuff gets very interesting and fun to discover.
I think it might work better on this game, the scale of no mans sky leads to alot of repetition and samey planets
Hard disagree
Procedural generation is often empty, boring & devoid of real character.
Hand done is always better quality & more immersive & interesting.
@@WildfireX Yes but there is a good balance. Look at valheim. I don't know much about game development but I assume procedural generation is inevitable for a game with this scale.
@@WildfireX i think for towns and anything human made it makes sense for some hand placement and crafting, but for nature itself i love it when it's just generated since its just how nature forms naturally and not by human hand. but generation itself can be good or bad too...
@@gamesmaster1060 There's definitely purpose for it, just like there's good reason to use AI in parts of game development.
But it's clear that too much often leads to a game devoid of soul & character
please let it be terraria! please! randomly generated biomes! the abyss(calamity mod)! sky islands! the whole world is random..... it can be game of the century
Why is this called a "reaction"? This is just a discussion.
The mountain geometry leaves a lot to be desired...
2:53 When you said "random seed" you obviously don't have any idea what procedural generation means... "random generation" is the opposite of "procedural generation"
@@dorian6021 You're literally proving my point. That seed is what generates everything in that world making it the 'procedural' part. Which means it is not random, the result will always be the same in that planet. You're confusing his quote (which is from NMS that has trillions of planets) for this game that only has a single planet. That means there is only a SINGLE seed for this planet therefore not making it random at all, since there's literally only one. It might not even be a single seed at all but a set of constant seeds that were playtested beforehand.
@@dorian6021I missed the part where he was talking about NMS, I only heard the part where he said "random seed" and then a scene from LNF was shown. That was my bad.
Although I'm pretty sure LnF won't be like terraria were the player seed will be randomly rolled for each player since that defeats what they're trying to make. I'm confident it will be similar to NMS in the sense that there will be a single planet (hence single seed or a set of constant seeds for that planet) and every player will be playing on that planet. The reasoning for this is the wording in Steam description of the game such "as persistent building" which means players will be able to see other players buildings.
They lost me a procedural.
The second I see that word associated with a game I'm out.
Good bye 😂
Same here mate.
bye lol
I've stood behind hellogames since the release nms.personally bringing up the mess the game was in is annoying.Hello games made up for that mess.lets say this game is a mess on release.who cares.they made nms a face lift over the last 7 years so if light is a mess they will make it an unbievable game.nms I learned of just a month or so b4 released so I didn't hyped it.this game I've totally hyped this up and I can't wait regardless of the state
@oliemack "people don't like procedural generation". Please tell me, what game does not have procedural generation? I mean this is just idiotic narrative from people who do not understand what this means. NPC procedurally generated? Foliage procedurally generated? Loot procedurally generated? Remnant 2 is a bad game?
It is the same nonsense as "we do not like live service games". Servers are part of live service? Patches are part of live service? Cloud saves are part of live service? DLCs are part of live service? All these features are part of business model?
Just turn the brain on.
Come on, this game is NMS but only on one planet. Same engine, graphics, multi and style of trailer.
These games are the equivalent of AI art.
I've seen better looking PS4 games. Sad news.
Plays best on ps5!!!!!!! MEGA L FOR THE GAYBOX SERIES X FANQUEERS!!!!!!!
Wtf bro. 😂
Actually plays exactly the same homophobic kid 😂 but keep on attention seeking
That kind of attitude is not cromulent.
@@mikeuk666 and you are an attention seeking gaybox series x fanboy.
@@mikeuk666 exactly what a series simp would say,chad warden here the ps tripple plus 2 ite we aint talkin bout no WII
It's nice that Hello Games ended up fixing No Man's Sky, but they have NEVER apologized for building up hype for years via blatant lies, which led directly to many millions of dollars in pre-orders for a $60 AAA price tag (which is STILL the official price of the game). They did not offer refunds for those people they swindled. Instead we got cringy excuses about their shyness and lack of experience. I have not forgotten and have not forgiven and will not give them money. I would also put up a mirror before the gaming community and our biases. Look how angry we are at Fntastic for The Day Before. So why did some of us forgive Hello Games?
Because unlike The Day Before scammers, Hello Games stuck around for 7 years patching their passion project, engaging with the community, and offering expansion sized updates most devs would charge for. Oh, and the game is forever on sale for half price or less and has been for years. Their launch sucked, I agree. But man, if you want to live your life holding deep grudges and pretending like you've never made a mistake, you do you buddy. They've more than made up for their mistakes and taken full ownership. At least now they can laugh about it. Maybe you should lighten up. Times have changed, and lessons have been learnt 💯 👌
@@shawnbyers6947 They did not by any stretch "take full ownership" for their "mistakes" (a very charitable gloss over "lies"). No consumer got a refund (nor an apology, for what it's worth) while the small group of devs became multi-millionaires overnight. Meanwhile Fntastic refunded everybody, apologized, and folded.
The only lesson learned here is that pre-orders based on false hype is a lucrative business model in the gullible gaming industry. So, times have not changed at all and this will keep happening because so many people are like you.
BTW, I checked right now and NMS is $60 on the Sony store.
I think people forgave them because they got their heads down and fixed their game, add to that 7 years of consistently good updates and additions, I mean they could've done the whole corporate triple A apology post that stops just short of admitting enough to justify not refunding the game and just pocket the cash. The situation with Fntastic and The Day Before isn't even close to comparable to NMS and Hello games and what they've gone on to do with the game.
Fallout 76 - Bethesda
Redfall - Arkane/Bethesda
Cyberpunk - 2077 CDPR
Star Wars battlefront 2 - EA
Lord of the Rings Gollum - Daedlic
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy The Definitive Edition - Rockstar/2K
Warcraft 3 reforged - Activision Blizzard
That's just of the top of my head, and with the exception of Daedlic the biggest devs and publishers going, whereas at launch Hello games was 15 people, that said I would absolutely give Hello games a chance, they've proved they can deliver where most bigger studios would do the bare minimum to avoid any sort of refund or legal repercussions. I get your not happy but you could've picked a better target and comparison for your anger.
@@gs8494 That other companies do worse does not justify Hello Games's atrocious behavior. You're just pointing out that there is a general problem in how gaming companies treat consumers, and you seem to just accept it as a fact of life. I refuse, and I encourage you and others to refuse, too. Spend $60 elsewhere, on products that work as advertised. Lord knows there are enough games out there.
"Owning" the "mistake" looks like this: acknowledging the deception (=apology) and refunding all pre-orders. THEN they could have worked on improving the game to reach AAA $60 expectations.
Our only recourse is to change our consumption behavior: never, ever pre-order. Indeed we must kill the whole practice of pre-ordering as it's an enabler for the worst behavior.
@EmblemParade Oh, you're the type of person who needs to hear Sean say it or, like every other failed project in 2023, have an AI written apology with no sincerity involved at all? I see. Man, that's just sad. OK, so the refunds AT THE TIME (2016) weren't handled greatly, including by Sony and Steam. But get real, they never asked for a single penny for 7 years. They don't do paid expansions or microtransactions, and they certainly don't write half cooked apology letters. They put their heads down and make quality, engaging content for their community. Now THAT is the apology I and the community wanted to see. Not excuses and running away without trying like FNTASTIC, the biggest scam artists of 2023.
I bet you would love Sean to sit down and make a 1 minute video with an instrument in hand, singing his apology for 2016s mistakes, wouldn't you? 🤣🤣🤣
