That old AMA is incredible btw, I didn't know anything about Joe Danger but if you go back and read some of the responses now it's pretty wild.

avoiding VR I see Sean
Most definitely. I wonder if their next game will use this tech as well and how. This would be fantastic for other open world games as well. And the action/flow of the game would feel so much more natural w/out asset loading or any loading in general. Pretty damn amazing once you think about it, good post.

I've got to stop watching this Jeff stream. Too spoilery.
Golden plants like the plants gave you gold, the element?

Yup mine is thursday as well i just ordered the digital version and will return my LE once it arrives because by the time it gets here i will be ready to move on to the PC version.
Steelbook is nice but i don't need 3 copies.
My friend and I were just thinking last night that it'd be awesome to have a fantasy sailing game built with this tech. Just an endless ocean with islands and fantastical ruins and stuff to find. There's so many frameworks you could put this tech into.

Peter Brown of GameSpot is doing a review-in-progress with nightly "captain's log" updates.

Sean just said anytime someone asks about an FOV slider on the PC version he puts it 1 degree less. This AMA is hilarious.
Yep, platinum ones as well.
Not huge amounts but I could harvest them without the laser so the sentinels didn't seem to care. Still searching for the planet of the MethPikachu.
This is with patch right? The planets look great for the most part.

I don't think there's anything spoilers in the gif above but if anyone has an issue, I'll edit it out and unembed.
Found this out earlier. If you melee, you do a small lunge. If you melee and then use the jetpack at the same time, you'll get a nice boost in speed that is much faster that sprinting.
I can't 100% say yet but I think if you sprint, melee and then jetpack, you'll go ever further.
Gif above is just one example of it - I've managed to go a lot further that I haven't capped yet.
How's that? Are there even three versions of this game?
I'm in for two I guess. Weird how the PC version gets some kind of upgraded spaceship as a pre-order deal, where the PS4 gets some avatars. Getting an upgraded starter ship sounds like something I don't even know if I'd want.

Can you please link to OG AMA?
Yeah see, that's a great example especially if you designed the game with the conceit that the whole planet was flooded. Making a game that takes place just on a single earthlike planet could be tricky because of the level of detail we might expect but if you do something clever like that- say, there are only a few, totally unrecognizable continents left on the whole surface- such a design could fit perfectly with procedural tech.
thanks for this, watching now.

Nice. That's a great tip. Thanks.

No midnight release for PC, at least in Europe. Sean said, best guess 6PM GMT on friday.

Literally JUST ordered a 2TB hard drive.
That'll probably get here before my SE which I preordered in March if I'm to believe their respective estimated delivery dates...
¯\_(ツ_/¯
Edit: but I guess that's a good thing because I need the space... (that double entendre)

No. It's Mary and Rob. Danny just got back from Ireland (he got married while there).
I ordered the Explorer's Edition on PC like 40 years ago, ordered the boxed PS4 from Amazon with the Prime deal last week, and bought it digital on the PSN store yesterday. Chasing that midnight.
Assuming I enjoy the game, I will give the PS4 disc copy away in some manner of contest

Good to see others have caught on.
Yeah, part of me wants it to get patched because anytime I run into an enemy, I just jump skip away but the other part of me loves it.

My guess is because it doesn't have traditional things like levels. It generates everything on the fly and "deletes" that when you're far away enough. Fun fact: Most of the game's file size is just the audio.

Because is not a bunch of hand crafed assets/worlds and just mostly algorithms that generate the world. A game this scale with everything hand crafted like most games would take up more discs than we could produce.

Are there gas giants and stuff, or just 'terrestial' planets.

I have a theory on why theres such confusion about the framerate.
Maybe it was closer to 60 before the patch, but in an effort to improve the dynamic lights, reduce the pop in, and up the texture rez, they just conceded and locked it to a hard 30 for the patch.

They're wrong. They're streaming at 60fps, but the game they're streaming is 30fps. I actually just captured their footage to check and ran a duplicate frame counter, it's 30fps they're streaming. Apparently nobody can actually see this stuff.
A gold seam in a cave, I'd rather guess. I've seen that in a stream I was watching.
Nope, there's no difference before and after the patch. And if it was closer to 60, but not there, there would have been stuttering and screen tear. It's been a locked 30 the entire time.
It'll be closer to 6 once the files are unpacked.
There's an application file afterwards. The full size is just over 5gb.

Its 5.04GB after the patch
