I still don't get "No Man's Sky". What is it?

...everyone is OOOOHing and AAAAAAHing over "procedurally generated worlds"...

But, what do you DO in this game? In the video I've seen, you just land your ship on these RNG worlds and walk around looking at the Jurassic Park wildlife. Auto-logging some notes on whatever you look at in a log book.

Then you fly back into space and shoot at Asteroids.

What do you do though? Do you gather minerals? Build ships? Create cities? Breed animals? Fight other races/civilizations?

What do you DO? Is it a building game? Farming game? Or just flat-out exploration on randomly generated planets?

I need more information.

You cook food & eat it. LOL

the game is seen to feature planetary exploration, deep oceans, space-based battles, and potential predators on the various procedurally-generated worlds. Each world has its own ecosystem with potentially unforgiving conditions, such as desert worlds with large carnivorous worms. Players are initially given a totally uncharted universe to explore, where information about any planet's characteristics and lifeforms may be shared and updated with others

Its the Procedural Generation Fad !

@Netherscourge: it reminded me of Pokemon snap in a way. Run around and discover things??? Looks amazing, but is still a mystery..

No idea, but it looked cool

It needs to be more than "walk/swim/fly around and look at stuff".

Sorry if I sound jaded, but I mean come on...

And RNG worlds will eventually look repetitive. Putting different plants in different locations is going to wind up becoming Homogenous after a short while.

I just hope there is more to the game than just looking at the RNG terraformations and wildlife.

Looks too ambitious imo. I have a feeling this will all end in tears.

I don't know what the actual gameplay is yet, I hope there is more to it than "go here, look around, move on" because I would get bored quickly

No idea what the Gameplay will be beyond shooting spaceships, but a literally infinite galaxy to explore combined with the nice graphics sounds great. It looks like exploration is a big part of it.

they always say that the main focus of the game is exploration.

It's the first game on the GS stage show today, so I guess we'll know more then.

Another artsy fartsy game. lol @ anyone comparing it to Star Citizen (yes, I've seen people do so).

Yeah, it looks great and all, but I am in the same boat; I just don't get what the actual point of the game is. I would assume you can gather resources and build shit, including ships, but we haven't really had any confirmation of this, which is odd.

It's on the stage show right now. http://www.gamespot.com/e3/samsung-stage-1-2014/
