Its going to end up having cool tech and seem great at first but turn out to be super shallow with not a lot to do.

Such incredible insight. Wow.

Is this what it looks like to other people when I bitch about Bethesda butchering the Fallout ip?

 

[SomTervo]

Pro ordered it a week ago when I saw the flight trailer. I was skeptical of the game ever coming out. I understanding waiting for reviews but flying in first person is a quick way to get me to throw money.

I wonder if there will be black holes or neutron stars or supernova.

Black holes are confirmed mate.

 

[EndlessSky]

Black holes are confirmed mate.

Oh, really? I missed this announcement. How do they work? Just causes you to die?

 

[v1lla21]

I'm more excited at the possibility of exploring oceans. We're already seeing crazy terrestrial creatures. Imagine the trippy stuff underwater.

Oh, really? I missed this announcement. How do they work? Just causes you to die?

Once you go through it, you end up behind bookshelves and you get to push the books once in a while.

 

[Big Nikus]

Damn I'm tired, I read the thread title as "No Man's Sky gets delayed ~3 weeks".
Longest second of my life.

 

[jond76]

Oh, really? I missed this announcement. How do they work? Just causes you to die?

A mystery.

This game is about exploration and discovery. We are not going to learn about everything before it releases.

Lmao, nice.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

Hmm. Unless those stalagmites and stalactites were formed from really fast-cooling lava, I don't see how those could have formed. I know I know it's a game not a simulation, but it should feel believable.

"Believable"? There are a lot of Imaginary elements breh. I don't expect the universe of NMS to behave just like ours does. I'm not going to pretend to know how Ioxinite behaves in molten form or underground after million of years under extreme pressure.

 

[senahorse]

So on the official website we have august 12 for pc version, but steam is still on 10..

Help my brain gaf.

Would like to know this as well.

edit: now Steam says 11th

 

[Phanatic8390]

Are we going to see reviews before release or are they embargoed?

 

[~Kinggi~]

Would like to know this as well.

edit: now Steam says 11th

says 9th still for me, US here.

I'm going to assume that this is a mistake, and what they mean is Ps4 and PC August 9th for north america, August 10th for Europe, and the rest of the world August 12th.

Sean did say the both the PC and PS4 versions would release at the same time.

 

[telasoman]

I asked GOG a few days ago about why they still had "Soon" as the release date on their website and this was the response.

Wow, no mention of Asia?

 

[jond76]

I've seen this mentioned in one interview and then answered by citing the same interview.... has there been any better info on the occurrence of waterfalls? That would be awesome and it's something that's missing in all the more recent footage.

 

[badblue]

Wow, no mention of Asia?

I'm not a geography major, but I'm pretty sure, Asia is part of the Worldwide August 12th date.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Wow, no mention of Asia?

Isn't Asia part of 'worldwide'?

Looks like an automatic response tbh lol

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Figured this is the best place but if anyone come up with some good pictures/Photoshop some stuff for a photo contest for this game PM, got time of course won't put up a thread til game is out

 

[Octavianus]

I'm pretty sure asia is on another planet.

 

[Netherscourge]

Oh, really? I missed this announcement. How do they work? Just causes you to die?

Depending on which theory you prescribe to, if you get within the black hole's event horizon, spend a few minutes there and then bounce back out again, when you come back out, No Man's Sky 2 may be about to come out and someone may have already made it to the center of the NMS1 galaxy.

But I don't know if Sean put spacetime formulas into the game or not.

 

[ThirdNostril]

For those who haven't heard Sean speak about the underwater.

I can't wait!

 

[diaspora]

fwiw, steam still says august 9 for me (North America)

Man there is something about videos of this game that are just so hypnotic. Every time I put one on I just become kind of entranced. The final game is going to be so fun to just relax with and listen to music or audiobooks.

 

[Machina]

PC on August 12?

Steam has August 10th.....?

 

[eyeball_kid]

My condolences, PC fam.

I mean "believable" the same way DICE uses "authentic" for Battlefield 1; that what you see feels true, even if it's not true to reality. When I see something, my mind tries to understand why it's doing what it's doing. I don't think the proc gen in this case was good enough to explain that to me visually. It's not a big deal, it's just one of the first times I've seen a scene in NMS and not accepted it as a cool alien landscape. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[ReplacementPelican]

I'm pretty sure asia is on another planet.

Is it near Space Australia?

 

[EndlessSky]

Has it been said what happens when you die? I assume you just restart from a save, but that underwater video says he lost where the underwater thing was after he drowned. Does that mean you just restart on a random or your home planet when you die?

 

[WordAssassin]

I already asked this but the thread was moving kinda quickly and then a new video came out so I'll ask again:

Do we have any info on multiple save slots?

If I want to play, and my girlfriend wants to play her own file, can we do that or is there some workaround for multiple people to play their own save files on games that only have one on the same PS4?

Dude give the lady her own account on the ps4. Will save you many headaches in the future...trust me

Ok! I initially wondered if that was a solution so I'm glad it's as simple as that! Thank you!!

Autoresponse for sure.

No Man's Sky |OT| Too cool for cool_dude

Why would you give a troll the pleasure of having his name in the game's OT title lol

 

[E92 M3]

If you die in space, you will respawn at a space station. If you die on a planet, then it will be at the last save point.

I heard that part of the video and cringed a bit. We already know he could have simply gone back to his location, or flipped god mode on and never died if he really cared about finding out what was there. Game promotion and all. He is a pro at it.

 

[jambo]

Steam has August 10th.....?

Steam says August 11 for me now.

 

[Buburibon]

Steam says August 11 for me now.

August 9th for me here in Canada.

 

[diaspora]

August 9th for me here in Canada.

same.

It'd be the highest order of bullshit for the platform with no certs required to get it last.

 

[OneUh8]

if it indeed does come out on August 12th on US Steam, then that is not the worse thing for me. It's my birthday. would be kinda cool.

 

[telasoman]

Looks like an automatic response tbh lol

Autoresponse for sure.

Who knows. It took a couple days to get a response. I have faith still though!

 

[eyeball_kid]

Hot take theory: they're worried about too many people uploading data to the servers at the same time so they decided to stagger the launch.

 

[Saganator]

same.

Indeed. Especially when Sean Murray himself stated pretty clearly a simultaneous PC and PS4 release. I DM'd @hellogames and @nomanssky asking for clarification but I'm not expecting a response, I'm sure I'm not the first.

 

[renegade_dewitt]

August 9 for me. US, California to be precise.

 

[King of Custard]

NO MAN'S SKY OT: MAY CONTAIN A RINO IN A TOPHAT

I'm not serious.

Maybe

 

[Gusy]

Any comments regarding framerates from the Japan event?

 

[OmegaDL50]

Has it been said what happens when you die? I assume you just restart from a save, but that underwater video says he lost where the underwater thing was after he drowned. Does that mean you just restart on a random or your home planet when you die?

Two things will happen when you die depending on the circumstances.

If you die on a planet you will respawn where your ship is landed. All discoveries unreported to the Atlas will be lost and your progress is sent back to the last time you saved.

When out in Space and you die in your spaceship you are sent to the nearest space station with a crappy starter ship and all of the cargo that was stored on your spaceship is lost.

At least this is what I understand from interviews with Sean Murray.
