If it's good this is going to be an incredible word of mouth game. I could see it having a lot of legs.

No Man's Sky |OT| Today, in a galaxy below your TV
No Man's Sky |OT| You can't take the sky from me
No Man's Sky |OT| Elite: Dangerously huge
No Man's Sky |OT| Intergalactic
No Man's Sky |OT| Discovery 2016
No Man's Sky |OT| SpaceCraft
No Man's Sky |OT| Procedural generating across the universe
I think this is my favourite
I wouldn't be surprised if it's almost at 500k already - been really high up on many top selling lists, eg Amazon, for months

If you die in space you respawn in a space station.
If you die on a planet I believe if you saved you'll still be on that planet
If you didn't upload what you discovered you'll have to do it again
Well yeah, but I wouldn't say trading = economics
What cool_dude said was 'economics simulator' and I really doubt the game has a dyanmic or simulated galactic economy. It'll just have a functional 'some races like certain things, some minerals are more rare' economy.
I'd love to be wrong, obviously.

Remember that it's releasing on Steam as well. Games with Emergent Gameplay like this have a way of lighting on Fire. Look at all the Minecraft clones, DayZ, The Forest, Rust, etc.
So that's very possible.
Also this. There will be a lot of "Yo, have you seen that No Man's Sky!?"
DayZ needed ZERO marketing, and it went nuclear over it's first weekend.

The most exciting thing for me is what Sean said about there being, for those dedicated enough, a draw to the center of the universe. I have no idea what that is and it's exciting.

If you die on a planet, you revive at your ship. If you die in space, you lose your ship and items IIRC

I agree with you 100%.
Nice, I hope it goes well for them.
I'm trying to think safe numbers not crazy yet, lol.

Dude is like the anti Molyneux.
Molyneux over promises by talking about features he'd like to include in his games but hasn't actually implemented just yet, which then later forces him to back track when he can't actually do a thing.
Shaun and the rest of the team on the other hand have pretty much only talked about stuff that's actually going to be in the final product.
There even a added couple of things that they at first said wouldn't be in the game (npc's for instance) because while they were working on them they weren't entierly sure if they were going to be in the final product at the time they were first asked about them.

Honestly for an OT title, I wouldn't do some pun or silly phrase. I'd choose from a quote or title from classic sci fi.
No Man's Sky |OT| The Stars, My Destination
No Man's Sky |OT| Brave New Worlds
No Man's Sky |OT| 2016: A Space Odyssey
And seriously, if someone has the art chops, the perfect OT design would be it to look a sci-fi book cover
The screenshot thread should be called:
No Man's Sky Screenshot Thread | The GAFfer's Guide to the Galaxy
No Man's Sky |OT| The Stars, My Destination
No Man's Sky |OT| Brave New Worlds
No Man's Sky |OT| 2016: A Space Odyssey

No Man's Sky Screenshot Thread | The GAFfer's Guide to the Galaxy
The Review thread should be the one suggested earlier, "Ground control to Major Sean"
No Man's Sky |OT| Where No Man Has Gone Before
No Man's Sky |OT| Live Long and Prosper
Or we can even bring the bad pun back into it with
No Man's Sky |OT| May The G-Force Be With You

I'd like to see a live action ad for this game. I think it could be awesome if done right.
Well maybe not live action. But some really good CG.

Think this game will sell very well indeed... it's a very exciting concept and I hope the rush to the centre story/element is not ruined for anyone (like me) who is going to take it very slow.
Hate the fact that I don't have lots of time to play games as I used to (working on my own game)... hopefully if i can plat Mad Max and Finish UC4 in time I can have this as my go to game.

Ok I see. Thanks guys. It sucks but I understand the developer intentions.

I was just watching a video where sean was talking about the multiple galaxies and everyone would start in the same galaxy. That led me to think that once people start reaching the center of the first galaxy they will be spread even farther apart in the universe. Isnt everyone always going to be in the same universe?

Don't know what you meant by this, but whatever.

Agreed 100%
A joke about how people for some reason never understood No mans sky and constantly trolled in almost every thread.
Admittedly the 2-3 year gag seems to have finally ended. Until release that is.

All that I want are cool caves. Boy do I like caves. You can make a living in them, make love in them, hide your treasure in them. Sean, please just give me my caves.

Same here, it has so many things going for it.
- Hello World is similar to Hello Games.
- Hello, world! is widely known as the very first exercise taught when learning to program.
- The most obvious point, the fact that there are so many worlds to explore in the game. So many possible that Sean Murray feels 99% of these worlds will go undiscovered!

There a few videos which one of the preview players shot a hole in one of the cliffs on Balari V which showed off a complete cavern system of sorts.
Check it out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3A8cPJ4pGU

That looks like everything I wanted. Thanks guys!
In development, they had multiple universes. Now, everyone will be in the same one. Also, don't forget how large one universe is lol.
These are basically still puns, MB!
Great ones tho - I love the second particularly. And if we ever get a sequel/expansion for NMS we can go with Brave New Worlds: Revisited
