Fierce_LiNk Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 It probably will be a Morpheus title down the line but they said they'll work on that after the initial release. Here's IGN's article from today: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/07/07/no-mans-sky-how-to-leave-your-mark-on-the-universe And tomorrow we get another video! I'm really hoping they end this month's IGN First with the release date. Sean said they were going to announce it at e3 but didn't at the last minute, I wonder, and hope IGN got an exclusive deal or something. I'm super confident now of a 2015 release. It just looks so ready from what we saw yesterday. There can't be more to add, surely. I'm keen to see/hear how the soundtrack works and fits in with the game. Getting 65Daysofstatic in to do the soundtrack for this game is such a clever move! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The soundtrack is also procedurally generated And I hadn't heard of 65days before this game but bloody love 'em now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised at that, I thought you'd be into post-rock. I love 65days and their music is just perfect for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool that you can find elements and try and craft them together to make something more precious and valuable. Also glad they won't be telling you any recipes.

bob Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 My hype for this has lessened ever so slightly after watching that gameplay video. I know it looks a bit early to say, but I worry that the game looks a bit....shallow? I'll wait and see and hope that I'm spouting rubbish (rare for me).

I think the ambition shown and the fact that this is a new kind of experiences on modern consoles should be applauded. Personally I find shooters like Destiny where you play the same levels over and over in the hopes of getting better ramdom loot drops shallow.

MadDog Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I agree @Ronnie. Replaying content over and over to progress is silly, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Oh I'll applaud the ambition all day long, or as long as my palms can handle, but that doesn't mean the game won't get boring after a few hours if it doesn't have enough depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I agree @Ronnie. Replaying content over and over to progress is silly, in my opinion. I dont neccesarily find it silly, just not my kind of thing. I think Destiny just takes more flack for it because of the type of game it is, despite the fact that people will do raids over and over again in MMOs all the time. That being said though, Destiny has a whole other list of problems. I just think that specific one is only because people expect it to be something its not.

somme Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I think the gameplay will be a lot deeper than they're currently showing, as they are showing as little as possible so the players can experience and explore the universe themselves. That being said, I was sold when I thought you'd just explore the universe - anything else is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this as a game I wont play a lot of in long sittings but will most likely keep coming back to time and time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumours and hopes are that IGN will let Sean announce it at the end of the month, as part of their IGN First coverage. And as I said a few pages back, the longest a game has been released after an IGN First is five months, the least is one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esequiel Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If they spring it on us for a September release date I think I would actually have a heart attack. The last time I was hyped for a game like this was..... I don't know actually, maybe Resi 2 on the PS1? Hypppppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Mais rassurez-vous, ce n'est pas si loin que ça et nous vous en parlerons très bientôt sur IGN." "No Man's Sky comes one day on PS4 and PC. But don't worry, it's not so far and we'll talk really soon on IGN." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 IGN First - A Tour of Five New Planets If you've been following the game closely the planets aren't new and they all look similar-ish but IGN can only do so much when they've been given a limited build. HelloGames really want us to discover everything, which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-likes-trees Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 ^ Looks great Does anyone know if you need Plus to play this online? I'm liking the idea of naming the planets, species you discover etc and playing into a massive online world but given player interaction will presumably be so rare given the game's massive size, it seems a bummer for people who don't have plus to be left out of this? (I know Plus is a great deal but I don't play games enough to make it worthwhile these days and online very rarely interests me at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'm really not sure as the multiplayer/online aspect isn't huge. I'm not even sure if you need PS Plus to play any game online. I always have PS Plus and have never known any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know Plus is a great deal but I don't play games enough to make it worthwhile these days and online very rarely interests me at all) I reckon you won't need Plus to play with the online elements. You bump into people so infrequently and naming planets you come across them (or impacting solar systems for others) seems quite important within the game. I also get the impression that they would want to gather stats to make it seem impressive - e.g. to boast about the number of planets visited or named. I'm sure you can play it offline too, but I would think they'd want to encourage online. Just what I think, though.

somme Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 You can definitely play offline. You just won't be able to upload name changes and your discoveries for others to see. And yeah the chances of running into someone are so slight it's not really wise to consider it a multiplayer game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esequiel Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I don't know, I'm kind of hoping that a group of us can find our way to each other within the first few months. Upgrade our crafts enough to get to each other. We can all just keep restarting until we are relatively close to each other! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is though, even if you know what planet they're on or orbiting; space is big, really big and planets are too. "Oh I'm over by that red mountain!" Doesn't really help. Sean has said as well, when players are in ships, unless they're flying in an odd manner you won't be able to tell if they're AI or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if Sony are willing to make an exception - The general rule, from their site, is 'You need to be a member of PlayStation®Plus or have a local user account on the subscriber’s Primary PS4™ to play online multiplayer.'. Fingers crossed though - I probably won't be buying it unless I can interact with the online bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
