sounds great but they’re talking about having multiple hand-crafted areas that are larger than entire regions in recent assassins creed games which means at least one of a few things

  1. this game isn’t coming out for years
  2. the amount of crunch needed to get this game out the door is going to be horrendous
  3. the game will be huge but also insanely empty

I think there was an elder scrolls game that used procedural generation for a lot of the map but all the important areas were hand made. There's no way they can hand make a galaxy full of planets without sacrificing something important somewhere. Why can't they just procedurally generate some of it? Is the no procedural generation supposed to be a selling point?
