Cube Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 That steelbook pack looks great, but I want it for PC.

drahkon Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Not sure if I'll put a pre-order down. My hype is gone and will most likely not come back.
Ronnie Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 That cover art is probably the nicest video game artwork ever.
Ashley Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Art book <3 Doesn't seem to be up on Amazon or Game yet. *waits*
Ronnie Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Whenever I think the price of games has stayed the same since the SNES days and really needs to go up for the health of the industry, limited edition collector's editions, day 1 DLC and season passes remind me that they basically have already.
drahkon Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Ok, that limited edition changed my mind...for this beautiful game I need that art book. So just like @Ashley I'll wait for Amazon to have the LE ready to pre-order.
Retro_Link Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 That cover art is probably the nicest video game artwork ever.Thats why I'm getting the vinyl :p Large full size artwork, will probably frame it.
somme Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Is there anywhere to pre-order the limited edition PS4 edition yet? So getting those vinyls too.
DriftKaiser Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Just preordered the standard physical version since you can get better ships by forge an alliance with NPC aliens
Ronnie Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Just preordered the standard physical version since you can get better ships by forge an alliance with NPC aliens Can you elaborate? What do you mean by that and how do you know for sure? Thats why I'm getting the vinyl :p Large full size artwork, will probably frame it. If you (or anyone else) wants a high res version of that pic, it's available here at 16500 x 9343 !! http://www.gamereactor.de/media/76/yournewwallpaper_1487614b.jpg
Blade Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 So, what do you actually do in the game? I'm trying to work it out. Whenever I think the price of games has stayed the same since the SNES days and really needs to go up for the health of the industry, limited edition collector's editions, day 1 DLC and season passes remind me that they basically have already. Interesting point. I'm sure I was allowed N64 games when I was a kid for xmas and birthdays due to how "expensive" they were. Weren't they something like £50? My memory is fuzzy. You can now get newly released games for like £30. So games generally probably cost less than they did in the past. I'm all up for special editions etc. It gives the consumer a choice as to whether they buy the standard or special edition. Maybe the price has remained the same due to how much people are willing/have the income to pay for entertainment taking into account that the cost of living in general as dramatically increased in the past 20 years or so.
Esequiel Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 N64 games were like £59.99 weren't they? I remember paying £45 for clay fighters 33 & 1/3 second hand >.>
somme Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 N64 games were like £59.99 weren't they? I remember paying £45 for clay fighters 33 & 1/3 second hand >.> Yeah N64 games were at least 60 quid on release. Very expensive games!
Ashley Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 According to their own website, the special edition is exclusive to Game and is coming in at £70: http://www.game.co.uk/en/no-mans-sky-special-edition-only-at-game-1058496/?cm_re=home-_-espot5-_-NoManSkySpecialEdition
drahkon Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Wow. That is total bullshit. What about Germany? We don't have GAME here...
Ashley Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Wow. That is total bullshit. What about Germany? We don't have GAME here... I don't know, find it yourself Although just checked Germany.de and not on there. Not aware of any other German stores.
bob Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I'll be waiting to see what the game is like before spunking loads of money on special editions.
DriftKaiser Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Can you elaborate? What do you mean by that and how do you know for sure? The Alpha Vector ship will be obsolete straightaway once you gain better knowledge of the alien races' languages which will unlock better ships, weapons, technology etc.
Sméagol Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Yeah N64 games were at least 60 quid on release. Very expensive games! I remember them somewhat cheaper, perhaps it was just the UK? If I remember correctly, they were (mostly) between ƒ 129,- and ƒ 149,-, with some exceptions.. Roughly between € 60,- and € 70,-. And every excuse to break out the old ƒ.
Sheikah Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I remember paying £45 for clay fighters 33 & 1/3 second hand >.> Holy crap. That's one of the most tragic things I have read on this forum. Needless to say, I am pretty damn excited for this game.
dazzybee Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Yeah not all games were 60, some were, stiff like Mortal Kombat 2 and the odd game, but most were 50. Still mental though.
Retro_Link Posted March 4, 2016 Author Posted March 4, 2016 Question: could this game come out 'VR enabled', or would they have to launch a VR edition? The release date is prime for a VR reveal of No Man's Sky at E3 and then launching a week later... but unless Sony launch VR at retail out of no where, it would need to come to the game later.
Ashley Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I suspect there will be a VR version. Whether that's a separate version or something that comes through an update or what I don't know as the technology side escapes me!
