June is so far off that it basically killed all the hype I had with this game

And what would we do without hype?

I don't understand...
Since when did games become all about hype? Is it not down to whether the finished product is quality or not which determines whether you get it?
You guys... No wonder people get sold on idiot-passes and pre order shenanigans.

It's very similar to what they've shown before. Add a voiceover and suddenly it's a video game.

"Wow look at this once in a lifetime totally unique gaming experience that they're taking time to carefully craft. Oh wait, shit, well I can't be asked to care about something for more than a month, tops, in this modern era where I get whatever I want whenever I want it."
Fucking stupid.

As I said in my previous post, I genuinely don't know if some people are trying to say that as if matters, like they're not going to buy it when it comes out anyway? Maybe not looking exactly at his comment, but some people who are saying it it rather angrily around the internet almost reads as a threat to hello games. Like "You guys screwed up! So my hype is gone!".
It's not really much of a bad thing for either side. I guarantee you HG are still going to get the vast majority of those peoples' sales regardless, and the people who lost their hype wont be anxiously anticipating it anymore.
It's the concept of the game that brought people here in the first place, not the release date. And them executing on that concept is what's going to get people to buy it, not when it releases.

That means that Sony has pumped money into the game, allowing extra development time. That probably explains why it seemed like they were building up to a release and then went quiet, and now we hear it's over six months away. It was probably around the time the deal with Sony was being agreed. Before that it was just a pub fund arrangement - more like a kind of loan.

Watch the release of Playstation VR be in June as well.

...okay? Like why do you need to be hyped now? Why is your hype going away noteworthy? It seems so superficial.
huh? Do you have a link for that?

They're not asking you to care now, they have just told you the release date is 7/8 months away.
In the meantime you are free to play other games, do other things, get some fresh air.
What's the problem?

I was hoping it came out this year so I can play it. 8 more months is a long time. I'll get hyped again in may and june.

I think they will be okay with your personal hyping habits then.

I'm glad they have finally announced a narrow release window. I wish they would just come out and say whether it supports VR or not.
Either way, I wait in excited anticipation.

why do you guys think this will be a good choice for PlaystationVR given that we know FPS games are a terrible VR experience?
head position locked to camera moving from controller = barf
I suppose sitting in the ship could work. but also... doesn't PlaystationVR require 60fps per eye?

I'm starting hating the PSVR, seems like is cannibalizing a lot of things/projects.
I don't care about VR but seems like Sony expects it to be massive after those announcements.
I would really love to see a Guerrilla Cambridge's Killzone on PS4 instead this Rigs, a GT7 instead GT Sports, etc

The dev schedule was procedurally generated too.
Why wouldn't they announce VR support if it was actually planned? Even if they intend to add it after the initial release it would still be a great bullet point on their list of VR games.
That being said I don't think it's coming. I would love it and get a PS VR on day one for that alone, though.

Same here. I don't care anymore. Wake me up when it's out.

im talking about this engine specifically
most engines render several frames in advance before sending them out on screen. what you see has already been generated and is just being placed onto the screen. The AA algorithm uses the current frame along with the frames on the backend to work its magic with the AA.
in this game though, what you see is actually being generated / rendered right in front of you as the game breaks down the algorithms for that planet. You see this effect in all the demo's. Where the landscape will kind of build itself quickly right in front of you. An engine like this would be tricky to go in and apply AA to objects since they are being created in real-time as the engine breaks down those algorithms. As Murray stated, nothing in this game is on the disc. No data exists until you make that data exist by getting close enough to it to activate the algorithms that then create the landscapes. As you get closer and closer to the surface, more and more of the planets algorithms activate and that creates the hills and mountains and caves and whatnot. as you get even closer to the ground, you see even more LOD come into view and build itself.
It would be jarring, but I say let the engine build the objects and then apply the AA to the finished renderings. You'd see the AA issue at first but then watch as the screen's IQ cleans up on the fly. Games render HD textures right in front of us sometimes, we'd deal with it.

I guess it was not going to be this year. Guess I got nothing left to be excited about. Oh well...
I had almost forgot about the game and looked it up just a couple of weeks ago to see no new news. After that I figured it would be a 2016 release, but was hoping 1Q. I know they are an independent studio but Sony really oversold the game waaaay to early. I like the “surprise” the game will be released in a 6-9 moths like Bethesda did with Fallout 4 and Ubi and Far Cry: Meet the Flintstones (forgot the name).
Depending on the summer releases, this may give them an advantage, especially of Sony VRs this.

As long as the game is good, I can wait. I'm not as hyped as I was a few months ago, but I'm still going to buy it.

Perfect. Ensures the game will have plenty of time in the oven.

Well there is plenty to play on PS4 between now and June.
November - Bloodborne: The Old Hunters,
December - Uncharted 4 Beta,
February - Street Fighter 5,
March - Uncharted 4,
April - Ratchet & Clank,
Just to name a few exclusives and throw in all the multi-platform games, Fallout 4, Star Wars: Battlefront, Black Ops 3, Just Cause 3, NFS, Rainbow Six, so there's lots to keep us busy.

I wouldn't be willing to forgive most games for this, but considering there's a specific reason for it, I'm not seeing it as that big a problem as I normally would.
I also wonder if the PC version will do better with it.

Seeing how many potentially meaty games there are to play between now and the end of March alone (FO4, JC3, Bloodborne:OH, The Witness, Deus Ex:MD, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, UC4, DS3, etc...), I'm totally fine with NMS launching next June as I want to dedicate a large portion of my gaming time exploring it; that it seems likely to be launched alongside Morpheus is all the better.
The only thing that bums me out is the marketing strategy to date for NMS, given that a release is still a ways off. I've no doubt though that as we clear UC4 and head into April and Sony starts ramping up its E3/PSVR hype machine, there'll be plenty of refocusing on NMS.

Why not do it like that new game from the Stanley Parable guy?
Announce game. Release date three days later.
Go hard or go home.

Somewhere in there and the end of 2016 is The Tomorrow Children, The Last Guardian, Persona 5, South Park, The Division, another Star Wars game, a WB DC comics game, Horizon, Doom. 2016 will be crazy.
June is so far away I can forget about it for now and get excited again closer to the release date

I'm not going to defend anyone here as I am still really really excited...
...but when this game was announced and had its first year of being a media darling, it was unique. Now there are a few look a likes and similar titles announced that sort of make people with shifty eyes look elsewhere. That might be where the "hype dead" posts are coming from.
