They were presenting it on light night talk shows. They claimed 2015. Everything they've shown looks like a game ready to play. Not sure how that makes people "a few cards short of a deck", unless you just want to be insulting for the sake of it.

lol yeah,
except 'planets... rich in resources' isn't quite as poetic as 'attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion'
The PS4 will be massively CPU constrained, but the PC version won't fall under that restriction. Theoretically, should be able to brute force the calculations.

Not feeling the hype any more for this game but I guess it's cool we finally got a release date. I'll pick it up after reviews come out and if they are any good.
Yeah honestly this is how I feel, i was just thinking this week how we haven't seen any of the game in a while. Also in the next 9 months or so I can't imagine there's all that much else they can show us without revealing too much...
Dammit.
The Division also says hi.

So glad there's finally a date for it, and I'm perfectly happy about it being June.
true that.
Honestly I feel bad saying it, I can only imagine this game and the devs have been stuck in some sort of development hell but it's just been so long now.

Would this game be comparable to Elite: Dangerous in terms of how demanding it is?
I think Elite runs generally very well on my XB1. I expect No Man's Sky to be the same on PS4, if not better.
No idea, but the draw distance shown from PS4 footage isn't very good.
They'll probably push the marketing pretty hard, especially if it's launched around the time of PSVR. They're going to try to get it into as many hands as possible.

I thought this was going to be in February and Street Fighter V in June. 
The trailer itself. It says 'Sony Computer Entertainment Presents'. I think that is why it went full console exclusive.

Also, at the end of the trailer, when the blue PS4 page screen is back, in the upper right hand corner it says "Playstation Console Exclusive"

7 months isn't that bad and that's starting from November 1st, which is right around the corner; so it's more like six and a half months! It'll go by quickly and in no time, we will all be exploring the vast expanses of infinite, procedurally-generated space!
As a huge skeptic since the beginning that PGW trailers was the best one so far and finally showed some meat with the space fights, the gun fights against the guardian thingy.
Still not entirely convinced but it's nice to see it. Still think the game would have been huge with the possibility to built a base or a house on a planet or space and to trade species.

It's not very good, hopefully the PC versions will let us make adjustments to it and/or they extend it out on the PS4.
Didn't they announce this at VGX? And not even two years ago?

Yup, it was revealed during VGX 2013, which was in December.
Then what is everyone here saying three E3s ago?

Finally watched the direct feed trailer (multiple times), nice to see different ship interiors, as well as BUILDINGS! Also cool to see more night gameplay, looks nice and dark.
I wonder if this is PC footage, because at around 40 seconds in you can see the creature draw distance is MUCH further out than it was in some of the latest footage of the game.
One thing I hope they implement is grass moving as creatures move through it, although I'm not sure how possible that is since they are using billboard grass...
Anyways, time to go watch the trailer a few more times!

Sorry, being a NMS nub: when he says you can/will run across other players, has that been detailed yet? Because everything about that quote says "don't expect to play with others" but then they say it can happen...so I'm curious to what extent/what your interactions can be.

The point is it's possible even thought it's extremely unlikely. That has always been the point and nothing more. I really can't understand why people don't understand this. It means that even though you can play this game none stop for a year and never ever meet or see another player, there's always that notion that one of those AI driven ships could have been a player. That's the point. This is a singleplayer game that feeds off the idea it's possible, it's not an online game that gives you hope you'll meet someone. It's a perception Sean Murray has built into the infrastructure on purpose. He wants you to feel like Robinson Crusoe with the very small chance of meeting Friday. That longing could not be achieved if there was a big chance of meeting someone. It adds an extra layer of emotion to the experience. It's damned clever but it's been somewhat ruined by people constantly going on about multiplayer.

The thing that I instantly liked in this trailer was narration of Rutger Hauer. And he started his speech with his famous "I've seen things..." line.
Ah, it was really him? I recognized the Blade Runner homage immediately (my favorite film of all time) and it sounded like him, but i wasn't sure. Not sure if I found it more distracting than good (simply because I'm so familiar with it) but overall, I guess it worked.

I can deal with a summer 2016 release but feel it has a good chance getting pushed further. This seems to be a game you can sink many, many hours into and still enjoy so if it needs more time in the oven, keep it in there.
Wonder if we'll see a NMS Hype Check thread soon

So about those rumours last week that they had trouble optimizing it for PS4 but even PC, and that it wasn't on PS4 during E3 this year. What's the......latest on that?

It's a game in development undergoing development. Games will sometimes have issues during development - but that is what development is for - to iron those issues out so that the finished product is flawless/near perfect.
Development.
...I had to say it one more time.
