Huh. Must've missed it. I mean it might apply to timed exclusives. Maybe Sony is putting in their own resources into it where now it's a console exclusive. We probably need concrete answers.

As far as I can recall, Sean announced a simultaneous launch for the PC and PS4 versions during the E3 PC press show.
I was responding specifically to the announce date, not the more recent press coverage, which I agree is oddly timed given how far out it is.

As to the Colbert presentation, let's remember they might have an agreement with Sony to keep quiet until told otherwise. Similar to how P5 we kept hearing 2015 until otherwise.
He is, they literally said that it would release the same day on PC and PS4.

So this went from 'First on Playstation' to 'PlayStation Console Exclusive'? That's news.
It's not going to be on XBO, that's what they meant. It will also launch on PC.

I remember MS had it two years ago during their show in one trailer of indie games and then it was shown at Sony's, Xbox version unclear and now a console exclusive. A shame, but not a big deal. Next year I'll add the Ps4 to my collection anyway.
But let no one ever say only MS does this kind of stuff, lol.

Kind of surprised how far away this game is. Interested in trying in out but not really sure how I feel about it.

It's actually Rutger Hauer speaking.
Daaaaaamn. That's an awesome get! When he said "I've seen things" I thought they were going to play his monologue over the trailer

I've been hyped for this game for awhile but now that it's 8 months away it killed it a bit

I'm 80% sure it'll be delayed

More than just about any other game, they have to get this right at release, so I'm not surprised it's still so far off. Doesn't make the waiting any easier though.

That's the same day the PC version releases right? If so then that'll be a day 1 purchase for me, it will look gorgrous on PC.

I was hoping for Q1 2016. They succumbed to showing too much too early. I guess they could show more space action and element/material crafting at an expo, but they've already explained the gist of it 8 months from release. This was my most anticipated game and now I have to wait 2/3(!) of a year.

Waiting too long is also bad

Agh, this ruins the chance that it would be a Morpheus launch title. Can't see Sony releasing it in June. Still hyped for the game, though.
Maybe, but it seems very likely that it will support VR headsets when it does come out

I guess I'm not surprised; I got the sense that the team was racing against time, and with a title this ambitious it might have ended up a very flawed game. Good for them and Sony for letting it have the time it needs.
Though I imagine Sony was really hoping for NMS for xmas. It's strange that Sean Murray went on Colbert to hype it if it wasn't coming out this year. I wonder if Sony still thought it was at that time?

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Wow it finally gets a date. I didn't think it would still be so far off.
I do kinda hope they don't show any more of the game though. I guess I could just not pay attention like I usually do but I fear they are going to burn people out before the thing even gets released.

Was that Rutger Hauer's voice in the trailer?!?

Looking back on the info gap since e3, this sort of makes sense, I imagine that late 2015 was always an ambition, it was announced in 2013 after all. Still good to get a solid time frame though.

That's perfectly fine, at least we have a general timeframe to look out for.
That narrator voice sounded so familiar but couldn't quite figure it out myself, very cool to hear Rutger Hauer's voice. Kinda weird to have any sort of personality shown in relation to No Man's Sky, but that just confirms it further that the game has a global narrative for the folks that were wondering what's it all about.
