Shindol Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g15ANx5T7s No Man’s Sky is a game about exploration and survival in an infinite procedurally generated universe. A TRULY OPEN UNIVERSE Whether a distant mountain or a planet hanging low on the horizon, you can go there. You can fly seamlessly from the surface of a planet to another, and every star in the sky is a sun that you can visit. Where you’ll go and how fast you’ll make your way through this universe is up to you. It’s yours for the taking. EXPLORATION IS SEEING THINGS NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE Explore uncharted solar systems and catalogue unique new forms of life. Every planet’s landscape is different from the next, and populated by species never before encountered. Find ancient artefacts that could reveal the secrets behind the universe. Choose whether to share your discoveries with other players. They’re exploring the same vast universe in parallel; perhaps you’ll make your mark on their worlds as well as your own. SURVIVE ON A DANGEROUS FRONTIER Every solar system, planet, ocean and cave is filled with danger, and you are vulnerable. Your ship and suit are fragile, and every encounter can test your skills to the limit. From dogfighting in space to firstperson combat on a planet’s surface, you will face foes ready to overwhelm you. And one mistake could see you lose everything. In No Man’s Sky, every victory and every defeat has lasting consequences. BUILD FOR AN EPIC JOURNEY Whether you want to explore and see things never before discovered, or directly set course for the centre of the galaxy, how you play No Man’s Sky is up to you. But you cannot take your voyage lightly. You’ll need to prepare. Collect precious resources on the surfaces of planets and trade them for the ships, suits and equipment that will take you to your destiny in the stars. One thing that excites me is if you wanted to spend just one second on every planet in the game, it would take you 5 billion years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterNation Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I loved the look of it when it was shown at E3. It has a very Star Wars: Starfighter esque look to it when it comes to the space travel. I'm really looking forward to it. I just hope it doesn't turn into a giant flop.

Shindol Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yeah that's my only worry. They're bigging it up to be something very special and I hope it delivers. The thought of discovering a planet that may never be explored by any other player is staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyriqz ✪ Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Seems awesome but also innovative enough to flop hard, like Brink. I'll give it a shot for sure though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF? so pretty much an endless game...? Unless a lot planets are just a copy paste job with slight changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shindol Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 The planets must be randomly generated when a player stumbles across them. I hope there's enough variation to experience something new every time or at least most of the time. It looks like it'll tell you if a planet you find has already been discovered and who discovered it It sounds highly unlikely that you'll meet your friends in the game and the closest player to you could be millions of light years away so it'd probably be a special moment if you meet another player. Until they try to kill you anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizo Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Got my PS4 back specifically for this. I'm hyped and can't wait for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FulGore Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Seems awesome but also innovative enough to flop hard, like Brink. I'll give it a shot for sure though! I actually enjoyed Brink. I was blown away when I first saw the trailer for No Man's Sky at E3. I'm surprised it took this long for someone to make a topic about it.

Generations Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Ah...so it's a PS4 exclusive. I'm getting an XBO first. Will probably get a PS4 eventually, but this will have to wait, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shindol Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 All the stars you see in the sky, you can travel to every single one of them. It'd be good if you could name uncharted planets you find. I'd try to think of good names but you'd soon find one called Planet Sticky Dick or something.

Shindol Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 On the topic of repetition, I don't think it'll be a problem. I found out that it'd take 4000 to 5000 years to find anything repetitive so maybe the third coming of Christ may find a similar planet to one you explored.

Shindol Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 This game blows my mind. Developers of open world games say "See that mountain off in the distance? You can actually climb to the top of it," In No Man's Sky, see all of those stars in the Universe? They are all Suns with their own solar systems that contain planet-sized planets with their own moons and you can explore the life and ecology of any one of them. Here's a hand full of videos from IGN with tons of info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLcjvIQJns0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXUrOFVItgs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icw5tg-H3xc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgFNPg9qUXI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytPJWfrsU0g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfpMRoZwzpk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueBCC1PCf84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Oh Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Probably my 2nd most anticipated game this year. I've always been fascinated with space and the idea of space travel so this game is like a dream to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shindol Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Found out No Man's Sky's universe won't be infinite but there will be 18 quintillion (18,000,000,000,000,000,000) planets to explore. Hello Games were asked if there would be black holes and natural disasters in game. They said natural disasters will play a part but black holes aren't a certainty.

TrisetMaster908 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yeah I'll be checking out this game. Think there are planets out there that will never be found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shindol Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 They say it's highly unlikely you'll ever stumble across a planet that somebody else has already discovered. I'm intrigued at what's going to be at the centre of the universe. They said it's gonna be a sort of ending for people that need closure in their games.

IɳFamous Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Well since they claim that the universe is infinite in the game, There is really no centre. I wonder if they will have Earth? Or something close to it atleast with proper human life form and civilization. I would love to visit planets occasionally and find Humans/Aliens and a fully working life system like Earth's.

AlterNation Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I wonder if you'd be able to run into another player. Imagine how rare that would be. Or is it purely a single player game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Mallen Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Not seen a lot about this game since announcement, but after seeing some gameplay vids I'm proper excited about this. Interesting question for ya'll: what will you name your first planet / creature? If I happen across a developed planet, I'm thinking Mallen Prime, after myself. For the looks of things the creatures will be mostly reptilian so it'll be a planet full of dragons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chips. Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Not going to lie, this game looks incredibly bland and boring to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenade. Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Yeah. Doesn't look like there's much to the actual gameplay and the exploration gimmick will probably get boring pretty quick never finding any other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
