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

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."

Now I can participate in subversive activity, check out a cool new game AND watch porn all at once! That's a big time saver.

'No Man's Sky' has porn?

Infinite, procedurally generated porn? Count me in!

No Mans Sky gameplay

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. In Fallout 3, I didn't google anything before playing, and ended up leveling to an un-playable state The next time through, I picked a better combination of offensive skills, mixed in, and did much better. For many, that would be frustrating. Frustrating is when I leveled up too well after, and could one-shot some of the hardest creatures in the game. It became almost too easy, when you picked the "right" skills to focus on. For fallout 3, that's melee and crit damage, with sneak when you have nothing that helps those. Eventually, if you sneak up on a deathclaw, you one-shot it with the melee bonuses and crit bonuses from the sneak attack. The "irony" is that you kill the deathclaw with a deathclaw claw.

No Woman's Sky will be better.

Both porn and gaming can be a problem.

It seems to me they both involve mindless repetitive motion. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Sony is also False Flagging No Man Sky videos

[_KiTA_]

MundaneMatt Just had 2 of his videos false flagged by Sony of all people. Mind you, Sony is merely distributing the PS4 version of the game, so their right to DMCA mere discussion of the game before launch -- especially when it doesn't contain in game footage -- is a bit odd at best.

But yeah, this suppression of pre-release footage is worrying. Combine that with an apparent Review Embargo and, well... I haven't been on the hype train for this one, but I do hope it's good.

Makes sense

I had to go to Pornhub [...] to find the footage after it'd been yanked off

Yes, PornHub is the obvious place to go for yanking off videos.

Don't spoil it [for us] - Devs

[GrBear]

There's been plenty of streaming of No Man's Sky on Twitch, in fact I watched 3 hours of it tonight on Steam.

After said three hours I feel the devs are more concerned with people cancelling their pre-orders than they are with people spoiling it for themselves.

Oh look, it's another planet that looks the same, but blue'ish grey instead of with more chicken looking critters with horns, but these ones have 3 three legs instead of 4.

Yes, I did cancel my pre-order after watching said 3 hours.

@GrBear

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.

Learning about Twitch (from one of my teenagers) was my first "holy shit, I must be getting old" moment. My comment to her was "you are actually watching someone else playing a video game for hours on end?" to which she replied: "You spend hours watching other people play football, don't you?" Touche teenager, touche.

That article was poorly written. It seems it was just some guy ranting because major video sources wouldn't show his video. And unlike the recent #FairUse movement against You Tubes abusive policies towards handling DMCA takedown requests.
