No Man's Sky PC version delayed for a few days? (New Date: August 12)

Not a good sign. Remember on Steam we basically get a two hour demo of the game, so if it's a garbage port we can just refund it.
 
Hasn't changed on Steam USA:

12th is a Friday which is the day games tend to get released on here in the UK. It is showing the 12th on the UK steam page.

I know the PS4 date in the UK was pushed forward after complaints from British gamers. British game/studio yet Sony were releasing it everywhere before here. Seems odd to see the PC release now being pushed back.

Pushed forward to the 10th though... Why.
 
Hope the reviews are good or they're getting a ton of canceled orders in those three days.
You'll have your expected reviews that hail the game as the second coming of Christ, then some review outlet
(probably Polygon)
will give it a more middling review and people will mob them like they just kicked a puppy.

Then, in the months ahead, some will elect it as GOTY while others argue tirelessly that it's mediocre and overrated. All of this will happen regardless of the game's actual quality, of course.

Book it.
 
I'm going to boycott this game on PC. Even when it comes out and I know it's good, I'm just going to say it's terrible and laugh at it.

That is how you do it like MN9 right?

They want to give us the same prices but they can't even give us the same release date?

What a great developer

It's pretty stupid how we're supposed to "embrace" the digital age yet we're still given digital release dates.

No Man's Sky will now launch on Windows PC worldwide on Aug. 12, according to the game’s about page. That’s three days after the game hits PlayStation 4 in North America, where it launches Aug. 9.


I can't believe Polygon decided to publish an article stating that the release date has changed. THE RELEASE DATE IS STILL UNCHANGED IN THE US!!

Like many have already in this thread

I had no idea this was releasing day and date with the PS4. I originally thought they said PC was to release several months after PS4.
Pretty cool.
 
Sean came out pretty fast amid the Superformula allegations.

Surprised he hasn't come out by now to address the seeming date changes on the official NMS website.
 
Steam US says 9th

Gog says

The game is scheduled to be released on August 9th in North America, August 10th in Europe and Australia, and August 12th in the UK and Rest of World

I am hoping that my first generation i5 will be enough for this game. Since the requirement is listed as simply core i3 and doesn't indicate a generation like other games like Doom do, I am assuming that even a first gen i3 would be enough.

I just got a new video card though, at least.

PC Gamer also reporting on this now (http://www.pcgamer.com/no-mans-sky-pc-release-date-may-have-been-pushed-back-very-slightly/), hopefully it gets cleared up shortly.

lol they probably just read that here

I checked archive.org and this what was written on July 21st https://web.archive.org/web/20160721191535/http://www.no-mans-sky.com/about/

It looks this change happened only recently.

Yeah I had a feeling that was pretty much a case of word soup going on there, the copy was awkward to begin with. Same date for PS4 and PC per region, as expected.

SHOW'S OVER FOLKS.

No, the new date is August 12th for PC, just like what's written on the OP. The screenshot I posted was 4 days ago.
