I'm guna try. I got the pre order and the pre load happening. But I'm on the west coast so people will be playing before me. I feel like Tatooine will be taken. Klendathu not so much.. but at the same time. Tatooine deserves to be a desert planet and Klendathu should have giant bugs on it.
Argh, I'm back to now knowing if I should buy the game (through a trade-in deals at ebgames) or not.
I feel like I'll probably give up quick on it because of other distractions and it not having a strong enough defined goal that I can clear up and move on from. (Even though there's the get to the center part)

Wait... you cannot use already chosen names?
People won't care tho. They just want to be one(s) to use pop culture names for planets, animals and plants.
Yep. Once name Y is taken by X you can't use it for e.g. planet.

Not exactly the same I dont think. You will have to make variations of it. Ir at least thats what I got from the gameplay demo/interview with Sean Murray and Anthony Carboni

Hoooly shit. Thanks for sharing this!
I know, which is why I want footage of it
I want longer videos, but dont want to watch people being too far in exploring all kinds of crazy shit.
So do we have more first planet exploration videos anywhere other than daymeeuhn? Would love to watch.

I wonder what new features are in the update they're planning.

So it's probably already been discussed but in the new trailer https://youtu.be/lqDA1pffpiw it clearly states journey to the centre of the 'universe' and later states the 'galaxy' is yours. To me this clearly defines the centre of the 'galaxy' is not the centre of the universe. Thoughts?

Either this or they're just being sloppy with their language.
Edit: For the record, I think people are reading way too much into marketing copy and offhand comments made by the devs. We'll find out how it works in a few short days.
Hopefully some tutorials / tips. If you need read wiki or FAQ to figure out how to e.g. get better ships then your game maybe is doing something wrong.
Edit:
They are sloppy with language, just look at games "About" page on homesite.

But I'm sure there keeping tabs on this thread, and the timing of releasing the trailer after people were discussing it. I'm fairly confident theirs more than one galaxy to go through to get to the credits.

There's a part where your visor/screen gets glassed over by what appears to be ice?
Has a streamer had that happen to them? I imagine if it gets too cold and your life support is low...interesting.

Haven't seen it happen to a streamer yet - but then I haven't seen a streamer in any real difficulty.

And the description of the trailer states "at the centre of the galaxy"

Yeah I'm a little disappointed in them seemingly changing the challenge required. No longer being too make it to beacons, no longer losing your ship, all planets easy to survive on etc. Still day 1 but it's not ideal.
My first planet.... "step #1."

Is the beacon thing really gone?
All this awesome space music made me go back to my personal favorite space theme.

yeah it's kind of dumb to try to pick apart specific wording at this point, I don't think there's any revelations to be found there.

I believe resources you cannot harvest yet, until upgraded equipment?

Yup, it's going to be interesting to see what the patch does. At this point, the universe doesn't seem that dangerous. You need a balance between encouraging exploration and keeping that exploration interesting by making it challenging. And also a good balance between risk and reward. It seems a little too easy right now.

Yeah Idk, I know devs usually watch these things, but I doubt it affects their decisions that much.
Big lurker here. One question,
Does anyone know what are those translucent squares that appear when the player uses the scanner? like this pic:
(Sorry for the huge screen tho)
I think it is highlight when scan pings raw materials that you need to complete objective :b

I hope the deceased animals remain on the planet!

You know this is the spoiler thread, right? We already know that there are multiple galaxies and that getting to "the center" of the starting galaxy (Euclid) allows access to another galaxy. Presumably, the center of that one gives access to yet another, and so on.
They're just being sloppy with the language at this point. Maybe there is an "end" in the center of the universe, and you reach that after 20 different galaxies or something. We've got no clue at this point.
But the starting galaxy's center does lead to another different one, we know that much.

Ah ok, cool.
I hope they disappear over time. After all ecosystems do break down dead animals and plants.
Impression that I have gotten from stream, not 100% sure!

I don't think it runs out of fuel, but it does have a cooldown. From what I've watched.

It surrounds the rocks and stuff that contain the elements you need for the current quest you are on. Say you need plutonium, it highlights everything that contains plutonium.

You and I have had the same attitude towards the game. Regardless of the review scores, I will most certainly indulge in, if only for short sessions every once in a while. Titles like this one are scarce, and I shall contribute, however small my contribution might be, so that other forays into the "procedural" genre can be attempted...

Is that an in-game PS4 grab? Cuz that's gorgeous.
No, it's promo. There's DoF effects in that picture, which aren't on the PS4 version.
This is how I imagine Sean this week. PC players demanding info/confirmed release dates on one side, Sony on the other side shaking their heads.

Shit, I just can't take it anymore. BT showed what 2,000 light years looks like on his stream.
You can see the credits at any time through the Options menu.
Consider the implications of that.

I suspect this might be from an earlier build, or there are things that haven't been seen so far. The normal scanner effect is much more translucent, and the metal deposits in that picture are in shapes I've not seen in any streams yet.
