“I hate the idea that people will go around and say, ‘It’s like Minecraft but in space.’ Fuck off!” - a thread for No Man's Sky

The video looks amazing, but it creepily reminds me of those "Infinite resolution!" hoax videos that used to pop up.

And being a PC game, there's always the question of 'what insanely spec'ed out machine is this running on?'

Not clear what platform it's being built for atm. There was this though:

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but our background is as console developers, and I think everything about the game bears hallmarks of that,” says Murray. “In terms of your controls, in terms of the fluidity of the game, this is not a quirky, hard-to-decipher experience.”

And one of the Sony guys has already been on Twitter all-but confirming that he's registered interest in bringing it to PS4

looks awesome

i probably won't be able to play this on anything for a long time but i'm really interested in hearing what it's like.

"procedurally-generated" makes me v wary but super interested in this anyway

why does that make you wary? i suspect a lot of games with large gameworlds these days start with a procedural landscape and then build on top of that, since modeling it all out by hand would take forever. these guys are just taking the next step along that line
