Quick Look: Starbound Beta

Cloud Strife in spaaaaccceeee.

Can't wait to find out what Jeff thinks of this after his love of Terraria. Been lovin' it myself so far.

TERRARIA IN SPACE

Terraria in space? Nearly choked on me peanuts!

"Oh god people quite" lol you are very funny jeffy

This game has been super fun. The weirdest part is when you and your friends roll up on abandoned stations and just mine all of the cool decorative stuff and loot the place and keep running. The funniest is sand traps in giant caverns.

I think I got one of the best randomized names

God, this game looks amazing.

I've been looking forward to this ever since I heard it was the terraria artist working on it like 2 years ago, can't believe it's finally coming out

Anyone else notice the ringing noise in one of their microphones? It's been in pretty much every video since the Xbox One launch. It's kind of annoying and bothersome when trying to enjoy some video content.

You all guys played minecraft and terraria and no one suggested to get a pickaxe? Come on

Let's be fair here. You could say "hotdog soaked in gravy," and the Giant Bomb editors will come out of the woodwork.

Time to Rand: 3:50

Terraria didn't do much for me, but this looks interesting with the multiple planets and all.

I miiiight have to buy this, like now.

Get to alien planet. Immediately chop down trees and kill indigenous life.

Oh look it's that kind of game again. meh

The music for this game sounds kind of crappy. It's weird that you would of expected the Terraria music in a Sci Fi game and the Starbound music in a fantasy game.

There are countless just like it. Use up all of its resources and move to the next planet. Dead Space style!

I've been burned by "early access" stuff so many times but Terraria is dope.. space is dope.

Constantly crashes for me. Damn it. :(

This looks frustratingly tedious.

Real people = too real.

well, they could've built a pickaxe in the first 5 minutes with cobblestone

Who is John Galtness?

Loved the super awkward moment at the end.
Reflects all my social interaction fairly accurately.

@enns: stay off the space dope, son.

alpha canis majoris is Sirius which is not the largest known star

brad is thinking of VY Canis Majoris, which is also not the largest known star, tho it is very close to the top of the list

I was taking a sip of coffee when Jeff hit "Greg-Jones" and almost lost it.

The randomized names are great. My Apex (monkey person) character's name is "Raincheeks"

You were slain by Torsey the Torso Horse

i'd love to play this on my vita

Game looks great. Will probably wait til the crashes are sorted out before I buy it.

Wow, this looks even more like Terraria than I had expected.

However, as a huge fan of Terraria, this is not a bad thing. Purchased.

Yo, it's like Minecraft. But good.

The cookies have crumbled.

Haha. Jeff's multiplayer experience was pretty much exactly how mine tend to go. Oh no, people! RUN!

Anyway, bought this game, seems awesome!

@tonimckernt: You will soon be able to from what I read. Supposed to be coming to the PS4 and Vita.

Me and about six others were in a server last night...just running in one direction...when we came upon a camp site (tent, fire barrel, lawn chair next to a fire pit, I mean the works. Only thing was it was being guarded by a HUGE monster...so we built a wall ouside of the camp to rain down arrows on our foe. Turns out he was wuss and died from just one arrow...lol the best part was after closer inspection, behind the tent was a wooden wall with the words "They said, they would come back..." or something of that nature....it was pretty awesome. ....I took the Tent and is now my only place of refuge. ...ill take some pics and post them here.

Favorite thing about this are the Robot Gender Icons.

Not looking at the crafting list at the bench ever in this was a little frustrating to watch.

Jeff "fuck the prime directive" Gerstmann.

This is still Terraria alright, but I will probably still play it once it's out of beta.

A bit lame to quote something from the video, but this bit made me laugh more than I should have.

Brad: "Whoa! That looks cool! Aw, that looks cool. Did I mention that looks cool?"

Vinny: "How's it look?"

Brad: "Looks alright..."

I've noticed this and Darkout on Steam yesterday. Neat concept, and wonder why the the sudden splash of sci-fi themed Terraria--also wonder if pointless digging and fortress building can hold out just because its scifi. I need a story.

Just so people know, they could have made a pick, an axe, and other tools early on with stone. And then they could have also made a bed, where you can sleep to get your health back.

I also made a monkey guy and his generated name was "Space Ape Jr."

This was a fun quicklook, I definetly will pick this up eventually.

Hey whats that Zbrush model on the desktop? (@49:43)

Jeff: C opens basic crafting. Use E on craft table.

Hahaha Jeff's social anxiety!
