Why do people keep saying this? Have you seen ALL the footage? I've seen dozens of different environments that look completely different from each other. The only unifying factor is the colour pallet they use, and even then it's often on the extreme scale or much more subtle.

Why do people keep saying this? How much did we see, maybe less than 1 hour of unique footage with different planets? How much are you gonna plan to play the game, maybe over 100 hours so who says you might not see design patterns repeated with little variations? If there's one thing I've learned from devs who promise "million different weapons" like Borderlands or 1000s of hours of content, it's not to trust it.  And yeah, it's the color pallete, it's starting to look same-y already, I also feel like the environments look very basic and planets small.

Imagine this game is all about discovery, finding out things, I kind of understand why they are not showing off much more than 1 hours gameplay. I mean they gave press the ability to play the game for 30 minutes and some (and they were all under NDA) were releasing information about it before the actual embargo date.

So if it was my game and it was all about discovery, then I certainly would be very careful in allowing anyone to ruin it for anyone else. It's a bit like HBO not sending out Game of Thrones to the press, because some idiot will ruin it for the fans.
