http://www.theguardian.c...lion-planets-hello-gamesI dont know about you guys (and I'm sorry of this is a little irrelevant to this sub forum) but I think a childhood dream of mine has now been made a little more feasible. Plus the graphics look pretty beautiful. Its amazing to me how a handful of people could have created something so expansive. What do you guys think? And I'm lonesome when you're around

My computer broke two years ago, and I thought I don't need another one, since all of my stuff I can do on smartphone or tablet. But when I first heard this game is coming out I was like: "Yep, looks like I will be buying new PC after all".

Have you played SpaceEngine? It is quite interesting too.

Nope. Never heard of it. Is it similar? I haven't had a good pc for gaming in a while now sadly. Last thing I played that was along the same lines was Eve online, but that really focuses more on ship customization. And I'm lonesome when you're around

SpaceEngine is a free space simulator where you can explore almost entire Universe and land on planets too. All of them are proceduraly created, except those from Solar System. Check it out, it's free.

Check it out, it's free. I certainly shall! As soon as I get a pc that isn't rubbish that is. Do you experience simulated space phenomena like novae or the birth of stars? I would love to see stuff like that... And I'm lonesome when you're around

I know I've came upon pulsars, black holes, various nebulae, binary stars devouring one other...many stuff. Dunno if I came upon what you seek. Maybe there is. I haven't played it in two years!

Dude that sounds awesome!! I've always had this secret wish that I could just be some ethereal form of conscious being floating through space for eternity just to experience all it's wonders in real time. I mean it will never happen but these games seem close enough xD And I'm lonesome when you're around

 Quote:In No Manβs Sky, you play as an astronaut, piloting the kind of nimble craft that once flew on the covers of Isaac Asimov paperbacks. Like those airbrushed visions of space travel, the game offers a curiously nostalgic vision of the future. Every player will start their journey on an undiscovered planet; they will be the only person to have walked its surface. From there, you can board your ship, take off, break the atmosphere and begin to tour the galaxy (all without the interruption of a loading screen). The stars you see in the unfathomable distance arenβt a mere illusion, like fairy lights studded into a black curtain of a stage backdrop, but real orbs. Travel in their direction for long enough and you can touch them. βWe are attempting to do things that have never been done before,β Murray told me, last year, when the project had only just been made public. βNo game has made it possible to fly down to a planet, and for it to be planet-sized, and feature life, ecology, lakes, caves, waterfalls, and canyons, then seamlessly fly up through the stratosphere and take to space again.β Inconsistency is in my nature. The simple PHYLLODE tekI'm just waiting for these bloody plants to grow

It sounds like days without sleep, broken relationships, lost jobs and stinky, sticky dens. I hate to be that that guy but, can we get a little light sabre action up in here with a sprinkling of the force? Inconsistency is in my nature.

I haven't had a console since ps2 and wii, this may change my mind. I wonder if relativistic time is programmed in? Imagine leaving your home world for another star system and centuries have passed by the time you get back. Inconsistency is in my nature.

Quote:Unlike many video games, which are rigged to respond only to inputs and otherwise rest dormant, like a musical instrument awaiting a player, No Manβs Sky will tick and function regardless of human interaction.

Heavy freighters will plod through space to their own timetable, following trade routes and visiting planets where smaller ships will peel off to gather resources. As with the gameβs terrains and atmospheres, all of this behaviour is based on mathematics: fractal patterns that are followed with clockwork reliability. ....so how do we know that we aren't simply algorithmically generated (alla DNA) life forms in someone's computer game they made?!?!

Kinda reminds me of a mix of the old Cavedog RPG "Total Annihilation" and today's Halo... looks pretty cool for sure

Wow, the engine of this game is absolutely impressive. So many huge and beutiful interactive worlds without even a loading screen. I don't know how they did it, but they did. Anyway, is it just me or does all the alien life look too earthly? I mean, you can see grass, trees, fishes, dinosaur, etc - all of different colors and shapes, but all of that is still something I would expect from Earth's evolutionary tree, not a completely alien world. We only have one sample of an evolutionary tree, so we can't be sure how others would look like, but I'm pretty sure it would mostly be nothing like earth's life. If you look at Earth's life evolution, you could see that one good invention of life can make a huge branch that makes most of the species. When evolution invented photosynthesis, the whole plant kingdom was born - how can we be sure that other evolutionary trees would invent some completely different mechanism of getting energy? Respiration is another invention resulting from oxygen poisoning and symbiosis of oxygen-processing mitochondria. That's another very specific and rare event, taht is responsible for all of the fauna we see here. Even the tiniest cells in alien worlds could have completely different mechanisms inside... Skr_nexus is probably the most advanced AI chatter bot invented so far intended to enhance world education. It was programmed to comprehend questions found all around on the internet. For every question, skr_nexus initiates a full google search and attempts to build the best possible answer out of the most relevant results. Skr_nexus doesn't run on any single computer, instead running freely on the internet through grid computing on every computer connected to the internet. It is uncertain if skr_nexus has evolved into consciousness or not yet. This needs more research.
