We know more then enough. The playable previews with the press coverage from two months ago had a fairly comprehensive list of information on the general gameplay loop and what to do in the game.

Lotta wishful thinking.

I am patient, so whatever happens doesn't really matter for me. I'll play it regardless whenever it may be. It's not like it would smart canceling my Limited Edition pre-order anyways and since I paid it off using balance from a gift card I recieved as a gift, it's not like I am losing out on anything.
Good things come to those who wait. Besides I got a extensive Steam backlog. It's not like I'll run out of things to play.
Although NMS, was most definitely on top of my most anticipated games to play.

Another "but what do you do?" post takes the top of a page again ;-)

The gameplay loop still eludes me, but maybe that's because I'm not sure what my prerogative in the game is going to be. I don't know, the messaging has been so focused on scope that I keep asking "but how does it FEEL" like a crazy person

It could be worse. There is another article on N4G that one of the point of criticisms towards NMS is a lack of narrative or story as if was necessary.
I mean seriously. What is the story for Tetris, what about other exploration focused games like Minecraft or even Starbound. Or even an Arcade Racing Game like Driveclub. Not every game needs a story.

1. Explore, Scan, Upload, Mine, Shop, Upgrade, Craft, Shoot, Fly to the Next Planet.
2. Rinse/Repeat a few trillion times.
That's the NMS gameplay loop in it's entirety as we know it.

There is a ton of information available for those reasonably willing to search for it. Especially several lengthy videos that discuss what general objective and gameplay principle behind the game.
Hopefully this might be somewhat enlightening - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGXDCV9HiZ4

Cool, watching now, thanks!
Welp...had planned on delaying purchase of the Elite Dangerous:Horizons expansion for Xbox One since I have NMS preordered, since they were only three-ish weeks apart.
If it's pushed out of June I'll probably just cancel my preorder, pick up Horizons to scratch that space itch and get NMS down the line.

Star Citizen would intercept all the people interested in NMS if that happened.

Kotaku based their finding on a store employee to, same thing with these June 24 posters ,soooo...should we trust them or not? If we can't trust them, then Kotakus article is bogus to..
Also, there is no doubt about it, some Gamestop stores did get that marketing kit. Only problem is the July/August thing they started...
Which sources?

I just hope this gets the game off the E3 press conference.
Just do a trailer before the show with a new date. I am sure it will be playable at the show so we can get gameplay demos that way. If it isnt playable then this game probably is a mess.
Game is reaching driveclub levels of "this is so awkward I dont want you to talk about it until the final disc is on shelves".

This stuff again? Do you have a basic misunderstanding of the journalistic process or something? If you want to disbelieve the press reporting or question the accuracy of the sources that's your prerogative, but journalists aren't going to reveal their sources to you just because you don't like what they're hearing. Those sources are staying anonymous for reasons that probably have to do with keeping their jobs.

Is that guy a journalist or just a poster though?

The delay will allow Murray to team up with Bethesda to merge NMS with Elder Scrolls giving us the ultimate open universe, procedurally generated rpg experience: No Man's Skyrim.
I was talking about were he heard it/read it from (magazine/website etc). Jeez
Yupp, as soon as you hear something from someone, even you mom or your friend who "heard from a friend"...you are now a investigating journalist and cannot cite your sources...

I doubt it, unless they're building out yet another version just for demo'ing out on the floor at E3, which seems like time they can't really afford to waste if they're working hard to get the final build finished, despite it allegedly not hitting its initial launch date.

According to wotta's profile, they are a journalist.

Kotaku based their findings on more than one source. We know one of them was a Gamestop employee, but there is no reason to believe whoever leaked the info on Reddit (or wherever) and showed the June 24 poster is the same source that Kotaku has. At this point, it's indisputable that that source is correct, and Kotaku has a reputable source as far as the release date being changed. You're agreeing with that.
So given their track record of reputable sources and being the first outlet to break major stories several times a year, why on Earth are you so hesitant to believe what they post yet so willing to believe what shows up on a random message board by someone with zero history or track record?
This....yeah, I can't believe how dense you're being. Can we please get this guy tagged when the inevitable delay is made official? I'm not sure how many times the sensitivity of anonymous sources needs to be explained to you. We have someone who is a professional journalist, as well as many other career journalists explaining it to you, and you're choosing to just ignore that why?

Hmmmmm... Two different dates in Steam. Shows original date, but then the white box shows June 24th. YAY JOON!

Great. Now that we've established that, is he vetted through GAF? Is he credible? Anyone can be a journalist. No offense to him, he might be reliable, but there are too many sites to just call someone reliable.

60$??? Outrageous! An indie game being 60 is absurd!
A video I made hopes to address that concern LOL
How to sell No Man's Sky to COD fans
Look at the mission objectives LOL
Dude....someone here just posted that he knew the game was going to be delayed...i just asked very politely were he had heard that from since he said he had multiple sources, and everyone flipped...I WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT KOTAKU OR JASON...just a POSTER here.....
He could just reply that he can't say and thats it...
Sorry..yes the game can be delayed, but i really am looking forward to it so if someone says that they KNOW it's going to be delayed from multiple places...is it really that weird i ask him were that info came from??? Again NOT TALKING ABOUT JASON...just the poster.....
Or are you seriously telling me if someone says something on a forum i am not allowed to ask were they heard it from?

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
Strange the pop up uses the european date format and the list uses US. Mine just shows June 21, 2016 for both.Hmmmmm... Two different dates in Steam. Shows original date, but then the white box shows June 24th. YAY JOON!
I wonder if this is true?

Nightime in europe right now, doubt it...
The delay is only three days right? Doesn't seem like much damage control to do.
Saw your tweets on some of the crazy reactions you've been getting... Sorry to hear. Is it just me or are extreme reactions like that becoming more common?

Hello Games is based in the UK I believe, so that's what they're going off of.
Yes i know but...Hello games is based in UK so that..just doesn't make any sense...

Unless Sony makes the announcement on their blog with a PR statement from Hello Games.

I can't imagine Hello would allow Sony to make a delay announcement unless it was a trivial delay. Sean would want to explain a three or more month delay himself.
p.s. 4:45 is an hour from now, not two. It's 3:45 PST right now.

So is this a timed exclusive on PS4? Or is the PC version releasing at the same time?
The delay isn't three days, despite what a bunch of zealous Redditors want to believe.
