No Man's Sky

I wouldn't even try to put ED, SC or no mans sky in the same box, or even SC and ED. If that were the case then slap in all the other space stuff, Moonbase , Kerbal space program, Deliver us to the moon, Infinity: BladeScape, Duskers, Ascent: The Space Game , Descent, etc... The games are different completely.

Well that's kinda my point.
 
I watched the new footage and goddamn it's looking good.Just going from space onto a planet and it being seamless just blows my mind.
 
This game does look very interesting. The idea is very cool and I agree, it could add to the design of games. I like the whole random mathematical construction of each planet/world.

I am, however, concerned that people won't see it for what it's worth.

Whatever, I am definitely getting it!!
 
I still dont know about this game... I think it will appeal to a small niche, and im sure those people will love it... im just not sure its for me...

Quite right. But I for one am part of that niche. I have my expectations and my assumptions and am quite happy about what the game is, I shan't be disappointed, only surprised.

Gonna buy it day one, if not pre-order.

I'm in the same boat as you, when i herd the dev going procedural, procedural ,procedural ....I lost interest. Lots of people are doing procedural at the moment, its the new sales pitch.

With one exception. These guys are generating a galaxy, complete with life forms, languages, sentient alien npcs and whole planets. And while I doubt this being the game everyone is playing this year, its concept and philosophy it too far removed from go there, shoot that, rinse repeat which the sheep love so much for it to ever become as popular as the yearlies but the tech its showing off could open all kinds of new doors.

Imagine Division but instead of it being a bunch of copy pasted apartments, sewers and tunnels each is unique? That kind of tech should get every gamer excited.

I might not get this day 1, but I will most certainly get it. Just can't decide on the platform yet

I watched a video a month or two ago, I will link it below, and immediately pre-purchased it on Steam.


The nice thing is because you are unlikely to ever bump into your mates flying through space you can get it on whatever is preferable.

Its being marketed heavily for PS4 so I hope the steam version doesn't suffer portalitis but nothing I've seen has indicated that it will so here's hoping.

....fok

I want the limited edition but seems that's only available on PS4, so might go that way. But I want to see the Steam reviews first

That was my reaction when I first watched this also. Just sat there slack jawed.

Basically

Yeah that Model ship looks ace but no PS4 so not an option for me.

See I dont think a Beta would help this game. Its entire premise is one of unlimited freedom in terms of where you go, what you do and how different what you see will be. Any sort of Beta they would need to apply artificial limits like they have for the various expo demos, all limited to one star system which may result in people getting negative impressions because the game wasn't as diverse as they were lead to believe. As as we all know the internet believes everything so it wouldn't be long until you got articles lamenting the lack of variety or complexity.

This is the kind of title where all lore, story, recipes etc should remain a well guarded secret that needs to be teased out.
