I'm sold. Now all I need is a release date.

Think it said something about 2015... Hopefully soon! Thing is I'm a completionist so need to do everything in a given area so a single planet could take me well over an hour to explore, a solar system could take as long as a short game to! One thing it's not lacking is content, but what about the variety? They still really need to demonstrate that.

Also nice to have a vague grasp of what you need to do in the game. Makes it a little more tangible now.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I don't think so... I watched from 14:16:00 like you said though.

Go here and read my last post. It's well worth listening to:

That was coll but I prefer the additional detail we got from No Man's Sky. It sounded majestic as fuck.

This is incredible and well worth watching. Watch as Gametrailers presenters burst bloodvessels trying to explain to a shallow mind something imaginative and creative. It all kicks off at 14:16:00:

Thanks for sharing.  I totally understand this game now.  Its like Minecraft but on a universal scale.



seems pretty straightforward to me.

Explore. Find resources. Use resources to improve ship, or ability to gather more resources, Explore more. find new resource that allow you to explore more. Some day have the capability to reach the center of the universe.

Sounds good to me.
This really needs to have a good online mode where you are exploring in the same universe as everyone else. It so huge sighting people would be rare, but the human interaction would be awesome.

I also hope that some day you can own a fleet of those ships you saw fighting and use those to control planets and prevent other real people from taking your resources.

If done right after years some players would have build empires and real rivalries would develop. The wealthy players could employ the poor to collect resources for them in exchange for protection and rare upgrades.

Don't think this will happen, but its possible with the massive world they have built.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

The dude is just being a douche, wants to be an ass.

or is just really dumb.

People at GT are easy hyped for something. Huber talked about 50 games this year that he thought were the best game ever. At first it is all fun but he is like this for year =p. He is the kind of 'you did not watch/play that???' I don't know where he gets the time :s



Now please, a release date.

I love the idea of the game and will probably get once it's out. But I can't stand it being shown again on a Sony's conference.

Finally I get this fucking game:

Your aim is to reach the center of the Universe but your ability of exploration is restricted and you must find resources in the planets in your near vicinity. Pick resources and continue your venture to the center.

Fucking finally.

EDIT:

I sure hope there are trophies in this game.

It must have trophies. I doubt Sony would greenlight a game without Trophies.


Good for you. Now, did you get Minecraft? 



It's like trying to explain flying to a turtle.



Another thing that is annoying is that a lot of info is available through various interviews and questionnaires. If people would bother to actually look those up, they can find out a lot about the game.  

When people play a game like mass effect (any space game) and wish they could just go anywhere, explore every planet or every nook & cranny on a planet, you can do that in No Man's Sky. There's no illusion of freedom like there is in mass effect or any star trek game. 

If you want to behave like a space pirate or raider and steal everything, you can. If you want to help everyone as you go along, you can. If you want to fight the greatest evil in the galaxy, you can. If you want to explore everything, you literally can. If you want to grief other players, you can. If you want to hunt exotic wildlife, you can. 

I've seen alot of gamers try to roleplay even further with their characters in game than what was there already. Like in a elder scrolls game, people would make their character to be a magic using or spellsword vampire that fights for the empire or they would be a barabarian that uses claymores and bows but no magic. 

If you have the imagination of a copy machine, the game isn't for you.
