Chased Off of YouTube, Leaked 'No Man's Sky' Footage Runs to Pornhub (vice.com) 134

Posted by EditorDavid from the gaming-the-system dept.
An anonymous reader quotes Vice:I always feel a little dirty when I look at leaked footage of any kind, but rarely so much as when I brought up Pornhub yesterday to check out a video featuring the hyped space exploration game No Man's Sky... I had to go to Pornhub, as this corner of the web was the only place I'd been able to find the footage after it'd been yanked off of DailyMotion, YouTube, and almost every other video hosting site...

The PornHub video shows 21 minutes of footage with awful resolution, and none of it's particularly exciting to watch (which may say something about the game)...
On July 7, when the game was ready to ship, No Man's Sky creator Sean Murray posted on Twitter "I'm so incredibly proud of this tiny team. 4 years of emotions," then addressed the leaked footage on Friday, tweeting "We've spent years filling No Man's Sky with surprises. You've spent years waiting. Please don't spoil it for yourself..." A later Twitter post added "Take a break from reading about it, and picking vids apart. You can experience for yourself so soon."

      I was thinking about throwing around the sexes too but then we'd end up with what sounds like the usual stuff anyway.

I suspect they're more concerned that that most people will find it quite a boring game.

        It sounds a lot like Fallout, only with a bigger universe, and less polish. I know several people who think Fallout is boring. It can be slow, and if you don't do research (on levels and what to pick when leveling), you may have to restart.

      • I searched for the game to check the release date (Aug. 9, FYI), and it sounds like the response from the developer isn't for this particular video. Apparently some people got ahold of "leaked" copies of the game (one person paid $1300 for it on eBay), and they are showing a lot of footage including reaching the center of the galaxy (apparently a major plot point or something). I think the developer is referring to those kinds of spoilers rather than this particular video.

"I'm only a couple hours in, barely touched a few planets, and already I've had many FUCK YEAH moments. On the one hand, I'd love to share those with you, but in the other hand, Sean is right... why not just wait and experience them firsthand? I dunno. The first videos I posted were perfect—they spoiled nothing and just showed a taste."

          Murray said that for typical players. This guy is by definition not the typical player and quite likely rushed towards the centre to reach the bragging rights of that particular goal, after all finding a planet isn't exactly a unique feat. Thereby skipping most of the discoveries, lore or sheer "it's just an interactive screensaver but damn it's pretty so I don't care" moments.

      The Hello Games / Sony relationship is a little more complex than a simple distributor connection. Sony are, in effect, publishers of the game, for the playstation version. Hello Games are the publishers for the PC version.

      There was a LOT of hype about 6 months or so ago when a bunch of (highly manicured) gameplay footage was shown. The most annoying thing is that ever since then, every week or so a new No Man's Sky "Demo" or "Features Revealed" or "Updates!" video shows up in my feed, and it's always a bullshit rehashing of information and video from the earlier release. I agree with the general consensus that the only reason to apply censorship at this level is because the game is not that interesting or quickly loses appea

      No offense man but pre-ordering games is what got us where we are today with modern game releases.
      Half-assed, rushed out the door and full of bugs that get resolved 2-3 Gigabytes worth of patches down the road.

      In this day and age, no one should be pre-ordering anything as it simply continues to enable the piss poor behavior
      of the game developers who have the " Just release it and we'll patch it later " attitude.

        +1. I'm also starting to think that participating in "early release" games is also driving very poor behavior. Early on, it's hard to tell between a company that is going to cash in and run and a company that is actually committed to completing a game.

        I was thinking the same thing. That someone could actually watch three hours of somebody else playing a game sounds almost like a glowing endorsement of the game. I doubt that I could watch twenty minutes of somebody else playing games that I actually like.

    • This reminds me of Starbound which was sort of a Terraria clone but with a scifi theme, when I tried it. There were some interesting elements but on a whole it felt bland. Even with thousands or millions of planets to visit there simply wasn't anything of value on any particular planet to make you want to explore it.

    • My two cents -- the amount of "creation" (art, originality, ideas coming from another human mind) in the game is the same whether there are 100 or 100 quintillion planets. Imagine an artist making a fine house music song and then have the computer generate 1000 different remixes of it. The sum of those 1000 is not much more than the single original song.

      The second part, exploration and gameplay, changes the state of the game, but the new states are apparently not significantly different. It's like changing

      • You talk about bringing new things to the table and then list a bunch of features from other games? I think the major selling points are that the universe and music are procedurally generated, and that you can travel between space and planets without loading.

        • > You talk about bringing new things to the table and then list a bunch of features from other games?

          The point being that No Man's Sky is a step backwards. It doesn't even have features from other popular games.

          It is yet-another-procedural-generated universe. *yawn*

          • It's pretty hard to say which direction it is stepping at this point.

            I guess it could be worse though, they could have taken the example of Elite: Dangerous and procedurally generated the title also.
