Fide Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 http://www.no-mans-sky.com/ AFAIK, there's not a thread about this yet. I genuinely cannot wait for this. It could be a turkey, but it could be an utter gamechanger. 30 facts about No Man’s Sky No Man’s Sky’s universe is infinite. You can only have one ship. You can’t customize your ship — but you can find one that you like. Earth isn’t present, but you might find something close to it. You can play with your friends (although Murray’s previously said not to think of it as a multiplayer game). You can take pictures. You can swim underwater. You can chop down a tree. You can choose to be a pacifist (although that doesn’t mean someone — or something — won’t attack you). Some planets are the size of Earth. You might visit a “dud” planet. You have a health bar. You can land on asteroids. The game features black holes. You will sometimes get bored playing it. It has no downloadable content. You can’t select the gender of your character. Not all planets can sustain life. You can’t collect plants. You can’t build a shelter. You can’t teleport to your ship. You can’t build a space station. It has a shop. It has no nonplayer characters. You can’t terraform a planet. You can’t destroy a planet. You face many objective markers. You won’t notice any gravity differences between planets — your suit compensates. You can’t reach the edge of the universe: “You can go into the darkness for as long as you want.” You can’t ride a dinosaur. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpcoO7bTV48&feature=player_embedded 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fide Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 There are rumours flying around about this being a surprise release on 27th October... In SIX days! I would actually shoot my muck if this were true. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 There are rumours flying around about this being a surprise release on 27th October... In SIX days! I would actually shoot my muck if this were true. Thoughts? I'd be surprised. Last time I heard about it it seemed to be in a pretty early state, so to be released so soon is a stretch. But would be good if it was. It does look like a fantastic prospect if they can get it right. I can't help but feel that it's one of those that has shot too far and promised too much, and it'll all just be a bit meh. Happy to be proved wrong though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramagamma Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Could be incredible, could be a horrid disappointment but it certainly looks pretty I'm just worried it'll be a mile long and an inch deep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) There are rumours flying around about this being a surprise release on 27th October... In SIX days! I would actually shoot my muck if this were true. Thoughts? Its been released! Well... a new trailer has been. http://www.vg247.com/2015/10/27/no-mans-sky-out-in-june-2016/ You'll have to wait until June 2016 for it Edited October 27, 2015 by NorthernLights 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It could be a turkey, but it could be an utter gamechanger. Just to go back to this point from the OP, I think that whether this game is good or bad, this will be the first game to adopt a feature which will become ever-present in games in our short to medium term future. It will be definitely be a game changer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 What feature? Procedural generation has been in games since 1984. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 June 2016? f**k off Sean Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'm looking forward to it but feel it's going to be a bit marmite. Some people are quite content just exploring from planet to planet making their own story, whereas other gamers expect a storyline or more action. I fall somewhere in the middle so f**k knows how I'm going to feel about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Apparently there is a base story mode to it, involving getting to the "centre" of the universe, but I also feel a lot of people won't enjoy it. The fact that there's little to no chance of encountering another player may put some off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 The fact that there's little to no chance of encountering another player may put some off. That's actually a positive for me. I'm not a fan of multiplayer games. Mainly because I suck at them but also because a lot of them tend to attract morons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 What feature? Procedural generation has been in games since 1984. perhaps feature was the wrong word what I mean is that we're going to have games which will have a limitless amount of content whether that will be area to explore, quests to complete characters to meet, mobs to kill. we could get to a stage where we buy the same game yet the storyline and experience is completely different. Games could have unlimited re-playability. maybe I'm the only one excited about this. Procedural generation, as far as I'm aware, has never been the point of the game (minecraft maybe comes close,) until this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 They were quite sceptical of No Man's Sky on this weeks Podquistion - http://www.thejimquisition.com/category/podquisition/ Seems they're having a number of technical issues with the game which probably isn't much of a surprise given the ambition and scale they are trying to achieve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet to listen to that this week, will give it a go. It's no surprise really, like you say. When they announced it, the immediate thought was "if they manage it". They still might of course, but they're being extremely ambitious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 June 2016 is the announced release date. http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/10/27/no-mans-sky-release-date-announced-at-paris-games-week/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramagamma Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 June 2016 is the announced release date. Christ, that seems soon, the way they were talking about this game I was thinking it'd be a 2018 release or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Nooka Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 This game is mentioned in a book I read recently, Death By Video Game by Simon Parkin, seems pretty ambitious for a development team who's previous output has included Joe Danger and.......eh.......Joe Danger 2 (both of which I enjoyed btw). Hope they can pull it off as it does sound great albeit in a similar vein to Elite Dangerous (been out on Xbox 'exclusive' for a while now where's the PS4 release date??). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulliamwallace Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Is anyone else getting No mans sky for the ps4 ? Release date june 2016 This got a lot of hype at the E3 2015, a lot of folk are still unsure what type of game it is.It appears to be huge space explorer, with over something like 18 quintrillion planets to explorer.The main game the objective is to get to the centre of the universe and you can play in your own style of a pirate, trade, scientist etcIt is a single player game but there is a "cloud" where any planet you visit or animal, plant you visit first you can then name, if anyone else comes along that planet they will see your names species.The game itself boggles the mind, i cant explain it fully but it appears the code is generated with a fix point of a sequence, when another player finds the same planet the code is then generated again.What is even more mind boggling is these 18 quintrillion planets are all planet size so you could spend a year or more walking around just one planet if you wished.A lot of folk are getting excited about what this type of engine/coding could do for future games.Kind of excited for this one i just hope the hype is bigger than the game (ahem) and it gets boring after a while ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Gonna wait a few weeks after release to see how it's going down. Have a worry the lack of story means the exploring will get dull and repetitive quite quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
