Speechless.

Yeah it's looks like it's an incredible technical achievement.
But whether it's actually fun to play as a game we'll have to wait and see.
-
I'm not saying they can't do it, but rather that what's on people's imagination will have so many differences from the actual game itself (if it gets released) it will disappoint a lot of people. Procedural generation!
edit: I mean look at the level of detail suggested:
The team programmed some of the physics for aesthetic reasons. For instance, Duncan insisted on permitting moons to orbit closer to their planets than Newtonian physics would allow. When he desired the possibility of green skies, the team had to redesign the periodic table to create atmospheric particles that would diffract light at just the right wavelength.
This is going to be the second coming of christ or a bullshit smoke and mirrors game. Hmm which one is more likely

It sounds boring as hell.

Or it could be another Spore. Just Meh. We'll see what happens.
-
I am pretty excited about this game. I concur with the Spore comment too, It's hard to know what to expect. I'm going to wait until this game launches before buying. I was extremely disappointed to see they are selling a collectors edition for $150 and it doesn't even come with a physical copy of the game...
-
I have mixed feelings on this. Cool concept, but not sure if it'll really be fun and interesting. Plus that guy always says "rezourzez" and it bugs me, lol
Also, more links without context :)

I will agree, despite the fact that the "self creating universe" is a cool idea.
-
Just seen this will require an i3 processor as a minimum. So I guess I won't be getting it.

Looks like it would be entertaining to play. Also while using a VR headset. Also while under the influence. Also.

I don't think YOU need to be under the influence, you crazy cat.

Dude, I am extra awesome while intoxicated. Usually.

I thiiiiink this game is coming out soon? Going to wait for reviews. Still wish it wasn't first person and that you could see your character. Anyone buying it?

I will when it retails under £40. That's my limit for any game.

I did some reading about NMS earlier this week and gameplay-wise, it sounds like Minecraft in space. You can explore and um.... trade. And um.....
I like the grandiose idea behind the game, but it sounds boring to me. I've played Minecraft with my stepson and got sick of it really quick. He, on the other hand, plays it constantly, buys books about it (strategy and fiction) and watches YT videos non-stop. I suspect I'm just not the target audience for a possible timesink like NMS.
-
I'm really tempted to pick this up right away. I say that partially because I can get it now for a discount on Amazon right now and not much later.
-
There doesn't look like there's any "game" aspect to it.

I think it's a sandbox game like minecraft or terraria, where the exploration and character progression are the main entertainment factors of the game.
-
I heard that the marketing has been misleading.
The game is less of an exploration gane and more of a survival game, with heavy resource management.
My brother got the gane today, so hopefully he likes it.
-
I really like the aesthetics of the game, but I'm definitely taking the wait and see approach. Since it has a pulp sci fi look it would have been cool to include a cheesey pulp story to go with it.
-
Since when I first saw this game at E3 a few years back(I think) I always thought it looked like an incredible technical achievement, and I really like the way it looks aesthetically, but as I followed it and all the way up to it's release I'm yet to see anything that looked like it would be a fun game to play.
I think it has massive potential though, so I hope it's a success so Hello Games can develop it more and add more of a game aspect outside of just exploring and mining, which is what they've said they want to do. If this happens I'll upgrade the graphics card in my PC to play this game.

Some reviews:

It's pretty, that's for damn sure...but the inventory, OMG the f*cking tiny inventory. Here go explore a boundless galaxy, but we'll only give you one Walmart backpack to carry everything in.
I like the visuals, and I understand the need to make all outposts the same visually and all, but man O man they need to patch the inventory.
PC version here, not experiencing all the bugs everyone seems to be complaining about, but I'm lucky like that.

IGN gave this game loads of support up until it's release, so I've been waiting for their review to come out. Just watched it and ouch it's bad.
So looks like NMS is gonna fail hard which is a real shame in my opinion, it had massive potential, I was going to jump on board once there was confirmation there was more of a game aspect added to it.

Not with a so-called "tiny little indie studio" behind the game, it didn't. I'm honestly surprised they even got the game out of the door the way it is, what with all the delays this game suffered.

its the latter

Wasted potential; it definitely needed some additional "frontier" influence.
