What do you mean?

What do you do.

I hear you explore many randomized planets but what is the gameplay about? What's the goal for the player.

The general goal is to get to the center of the Universe.  However, there's plenty of exploration (as well as naming new planets/flora and fauna), crafting (with materials collected from worlds, space conflict etc...) there's apparently languages (aka factions) you can learn  (and you can have seperate alignments with each), there's also ancient civilizations to discover (watch the Eurogamer to see one), there's apparently some kind of technology/upgrade tree which you have absolute freedom to upgrade as you please (I know nothing about this), there are raiders, traders, space stations, ship/weapon upgrades...  not sure if I'm missing anything

I'm not sure if I'm sold on this game yet but I'm keeping an eye on it.

Seems like everything we here is kinda vague.

Sean Murray's purposefully kept things vague, though, after watching all the videos before today, and then all the content dropped today (it was substantial), it's helped to fill a great deal in.  The upgrade tree thing however is news to me (may have talked about it before), I knew you could upgrade your 'stuff' but I wasn't aware there was a 'tree'...though, I suppose the ship/weapon upgrades could be arrayed in a tree.

Anyway, the Eurogamer video shows them run into the remnants of, or at least an abandoned structure of a civilization which has an access point where you could buy things (ships included).  There was another terminal however, that they found that had dialogue options.  They chose a favorable one and received an upgraded weapon for it.  So, there's certainly things to find other than new species/planets.

Reminds me more of Starbound, basically in 3D.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

You know, maybe they should be making out like this is an 'Elite' like game. Might actually get people involved more because the ambiguous nature of what you do in the game is a bit worrisome.



Hmm, pie.

Are there any PS4 games you like or don't have 'worries' about?

No true. Tekken 7, doesn't have Lee Chaolan. FF15, isn't traditional TBC.

I'm not saying I'm not going to buy No Man's Sky, I am but for those not really understanding the game or who don't know much about it, it might help get sales. Indicated in this thread when people actually ask 'but what do you do?'



Hmm, pie.

It is kinda sweet that he is so worried about all these PS4 games.
