No, I think it was that if you do small scale things, it won't affect others' games, but if you did something on a massive scale, like killed every animal of a species on a planet, then that impact would be seen by everyone. Could be wrong though.

How do I scrub through it, or view the archive? On Safari, it just says, "Live Broadcast," where the scrubber should be. =/For the "BUT WHAT DO YOU DO?!" crowd. Watch this video:

Edit: Never mind. I can scrub in Chrome. It just doesn't full-screen properly. /shrug
There are 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don't.
For the most part, it probably isn't persistent. Sean said the game won't keep track of every little alteration you make, but if you make a significant change — like wiping out an entire species — that will be noted and uploaded back to the central servers.
So, if you land on a planet and bust up a few rocks, the next visitor probably won't notice any difference, but if you level an entire mountain range, that may persist.
Careful mate if the Space Cops catch you you'll be jailed, and your home planet banned from the rest of the Universe.

PC or PS4....not sure what platform. Maybe the PS4. Can't wait!
I swear he said that, I just don't remember where. I think it was in an interview with Game Informer.
Yeah, I was hyped at first because I was just going to be destroying everything I could so others wouldn't see what I saw. Lol.
Looks like I'm wrong. Lol. Can't wait to wipe shit out.

So Sean killed a purple ram thing. Got a wanted level. Space police show up and he kills them. Gets an even bigger wanted level. Then a fucking battlecruiser shows up.
Hot damn. A battlecruiser enters the atmosphere. That sounds fantastic to me.

I feel like the conversation would move faster if he just listened to what they were actually saying. He is also asking questions that were answered like a year ago.
Love the passion on display though. Really digging Gametrailers these days.

I was anticipating this title when all I had was a PS4, but there are other space/exploration options that I'd rather experience on my PC. I'm glad for the developers that Sony is helping them.
My expectations are inline with what I expect a small studio to be able to put out. This still looks like a game that could hold my attention for months and be really special. I'd just love to see a solid 15 minute walkthrough where it doesn't feel like they are holding back. Find a somewhat exciting planet and just go at it.

Remember Mercury is a planet and if you have a ship that can cross the stars that scale can be quite crossed.
How would you miss it if its a good game and you get good WoM? You don't need to buy the thing Day 1.
Plus - all the things you've mentioned in your post have already been covered. Iceyflamez and Legacyzero have both made huge posts about 'What We Know About No Man's Sky' with answers to all that.

You should get the OT because of your extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for this game haha.
Pretty crazy that someone claimed an OT for a game that doesn't even have a release window.

Just like i didn't get into minecraft, im probably not going to get into this game. But i will give a shot.
Hopefully there's no character limit.

I feel it's my obligation to do this, since I still see people asking. Here is:
It's not possible to misunderstand what the game is, what it's about, what you'll be doing, how it works, and how it's possible on a technical level after seeing those.

You didn't get to trade with other cultures, fight ship-to-ship battles, upgrade your ship, shoot sentinels, etc in Spore did you? Other than the fact that both games have a ton of procedurally generated life on various planets, I fail to see how both games are similar at all.

Please announce a release on gamescom or something.

The only thing I'd want them to add at some point later(maybe and expansion) is giving players the tools to build a home.
While I really dig that exploration is the most important thing I feel like it would be very valuable to players to get that feeling of being home after long voyages of the unknown.

So if there is no story, what's the point of even making the goal the center of the universe? Seems a bit at odds.
There's no real story reason to get to "The End" and fight the boss in Minecraft either, but that goal still exists if you choose to engage in it.

I am so hyped to get this on PC. I watched insterstellar and all I want to do is explore new planets now.

So, plan of action:
Find the most hostile planet in the galaxy.
Upgrade gear and ship and set up base deep within planets core.
Find the most populated planet in the galaxy.
Destroy planet.
Hide in my base, let everyone destroy themselves trying to get to the bounty (me)
Rinse repeat.
Sounds like a game for me!!

This is the one thing I don't like the sound of, but it won't ruin the experience or anything by any means:
Also, when do we think this will release? Relatively soon, or will it be a bit? I know they've said 2015, but I hope it isn't fall or holiday. I want to have as much time for it as possible.
This just made me even more hyped. Do we know if PC and PS4 players will be in the same universe/server?

Oh god I hope we can build bases or ships large enough to use as a base.

I feel for Sean Murray. This culture of needing every single element of a game spelled out to people in a clear and gamified way has to be killing him. The spirit of true science fiction exploration "Go where no man has gone before" is dead. Everyone needs everything to have a point, and a meaning, and a clear defined goal, and some huge lore attached to it, and levels to attain, and experience points to makes bars grow. It's too bad.
At the same time, I do think this is the last time they can show up at a show with what's basically the same demo because people are already starting to turn on the game. I think they should do dark and not pop back up until announcing an imminent release date, like a few weeks prior to it coming out.

What do we think will be in the center? I just read that it's a black hole on the star map, but I'm guessing that's just to hid what's really there. Maybe it's actually a wormhole to a universe only inhabited by those who made it to the center? Like a new game+ type universe or something.
Mercury would still take a hell of a long time to travel around. Based on the planet he visited at E3, it really didnt seem that big. Like maybe the size of Skyrim at best.
I highly doubt any planet will be the size of say the explorable area of Daggerfall.

Every time someone mentions about what could be at the center of the map, I keep remembering the epic quest layed down by the game creator James Halliday from Ready Player One.
Anyone else think that with the ambitious and near limitless potential of this game mirrors that of James Halliday from Ready Player One?

I imagine people will share what class of planets they've found, and the one that is generally considered the most lethal will be found pretty quickly.
My curiosity of what is at the center alone would get me to play. Is there intelligent life, maybe humans who inhabit the center? Could a Mother Brain-esque antagonist be in the center, waiting to be destroyed by you to restore balance to the universe (lol no)? Man, the possibilities are endless.
Sean did say that getting to the center would provide closure for those who need it, but would also give players a reason to continue exploring the universe. So it definitely sounds like a new game+ thing. Maybe you get to the center and a bunch of secrets are scattered throughout the universe and you have to find them? I don't know. But what I do know is that I can't wait to find out.
Its a definite buy for me but I'm kinda bummed out there won't be a legitimate multiplayer (as in inviting a friend to play and discover a planet with you). I would imagine it shouldn't be that difficult to implement if they have all of this running in the game.

So the social aspect seems very much like Dark Souls. It's intentionally limited, which kinda blows. If they follow through on PC modification, surely we can change that.
