I'm irritated that the release date is like 7 1/2 months away, but on the flip side it excites me because now I know it's going to be extremely polished and maybe will have tons of features that they couldn't have implemented had it come out this year.

yeah you're right. to me it's always just been dec/jan/feb = winter, march/april/may = spring, june/july/aug = summer, and sept/oct/nov = fall.
I agree with that, as per my first post in the thread. June would be a sweet spot.

I'm fine with waiting 7 more months - just so long as there's a physical release option available for my hard-earned patience. I can't stand digital downloads - I'm old school and I want a tangible, browsable game collection full of beautiful cases to marvel over.

The thing that I instantly liked in this trailer was narration of Rutger Hauer. And he started his speech with his famous "I've seen things..." line.
Yes - the cool factor of NMS just skyrocketed up past the 100% mark with the inclusion of a legend like Rutger Hauer in its marketing. Perfect pairing, in my humble opinion.

It will be infuriating if it is delayed beyond it's June release date...
...funny how there is no exact date, just "June 2016".

Fine, but this shit better be up to snuff!
Regarding VR, here was the perfect opportunity to announce it, as they dedicated quite a big part to it. And seeing how they struggle with the normal game, I doubt they can manage also VR by June.
This kind of makes sense. Maybe on PC there can be some AA forced via the driver.
Although it didn't look so obvious in the previous trailers or was I just not paying attention to it?
And that aliasing will physically hurt the eyes in VR. There will be bloody scratches when you take out the HMD.

That's awesome! My life always gets busier around September, and I hate how so many big releases are packed in Sep-Nov. June is perfect. More summer games please!

Even forcing AA via driver it would have to be applied to the objects within milliseconds as it enters the screen or it would have to be cached somehow and the algorithm applied to the object pre-processed in RAM or something in that nature.
Otherwise you would have objects with no AA entering the screen and then poof suddenly AA is applied to the object in the scene. Even if it is done within milliseconds, with it being done with so many objects so often it would become a noticeable effect. Kind of like HD textures being very low resolution at first until suddenly they pop into their main HD look as you see in some games, rarely.
I'd love to ask Murray about it and wonder if he has thought about it yet or has ideas for how to implement AA on top of this type of engine in real time.. The previous trailers may of had editing or it was on a pre-determined build where everything that was being generated was already " known " by the system and thus could have the AA applied. I never noticed the AA to this extreme in the earliest trailers.
Dunno, but it is definitely extreme.
I am about to have sli 970s for this game. That would be unfortunate if it were for nothing.

I actually love this. I'd much rather them take more time than less. I'm a bit relieved it's not coming out really soon. I have plenty of games to play until then, and I'm just excited to see what they can do with the game in 8 or so more months. This is good with me.
All of the people jumping off the hype train is fine. I kind of did too, but i'm mindful of the fact that I'll be super hyped for it again in the future. I don't know if people mean this, but if some are talking about their hype dying like they're not going be hyped again when it's about to release are probably fooling themselves. It almost seems like it's being used as a threat against HG or something, or maybe that's just how it comes off since some people say it so angrily. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but it really doesn't make much of a difference. If they were hyped before, they (at least the VAST majority of them) will definitely regain interest when the game is on the verge of release.

Hello Games better get on the Blu-Ray case!!!

I feel like one of us is confused about how AA works. It's either applied as the object is being rendered or afterwards for post-process AA. You seem to be implying it's slowly added to objects as they sit in memory... are you talking about level of detail?

They're probably making it more of a game with stuff to do. They really didnt show much stuff before

June is the perfect time with few other games in that timeframe. I was worried they'd try for a holiday 2016 release.

There's going to be so many people disappointed if this doesn't support VR, just looking at all the comments here... And as someone else mentioned, it's actively hurting Sony atm them NOT announcing it as PSVR compatible seeing as it's clearly a fan-favorite game that a lot of people are looking forward to and looks to be a good fit for the technology. Given how long Hello Games have been working to get the game up and running though as it is (assuming they HAVEN'T spend the last 12 months working on VR integration) I dunno if the PS4 can handle running it on a VR platform.
You mean you don't want to pay $60 for this title. A developer has the right to decide what their game's worth.

Great! If I can afford a PS4 by then, I will look forward to playing this!

They announced the game way too early. I'm glad they've pinned down a release, but my hype has died down quite a bit, especially after having spent a lot of time with Elite: Dangerous.
That said, it looks to be shaping up nicely and if performance is there I'll be there to support it. I'd prefer a PC simultaneous release with HOTAS/VR support that I could have with PC, but if it's far away I may just pick up the PS4 version. I know the game is no small feat, but I wonder if they've known about this release window for a while or development issues popped up they hadn't expected? Lookin' good though, I hope the time pays off.

After reading what Sean Murray wrote on the PlayStation Blog, I'm even more excited about No Man's Sky!
He stated that there's lots of features that they haven't shown anyone yet and lots of them are the most requested additions to the game that he and his team are receiving. That really covers a lot of ground, quite frankly and I'm excited to see what he means by that over the next few months until the game releases!!!

I think I need to schedule at least a week of vacation for when this releases.
Looks so good!
Looks so good!
Not self-publishing? Sony soaking up their percentage after helping out with marketing.
That draw distance though.

Have we ever figured out what the game is about yet, past space exploration?

This illustrates the negative side of revealing a game too early. They have actually managed to make me irritated with it. Just release the damn game already. There should be a rule that every game can only be at one E3. Three E3's is ridiculous.

As long as they don't get angry at the community in the case of low sales: completely fair.
It's monetary worth will generally be decided by how many copies it sells. I am assuming it will sell pretty well, even at typical AAA pricing. Plenty of time for discounted preorders though. Let's hope for some good discounts.
