Seems a bit too much like Minecraft in space. Fun at first but soon forgotten unless you are a child.

They picked June so they can delay the release before E3, then annouce a new release day at their E3 presser of Holiday 2016.

Not impressed by anything other than the colorfulness of the game. Guess that's for the best since I'm about to buy an Xbox.

Am I the only one who isn't excited for this game? The concept looks like fun... for the first few hours. But without a compelling story or narrative its hard for me to stick with sandbox games.

I still have no fucking idea what this game is or what you do in it besides fly to and walk around different planets. Is that all it is?

I mean it isn't a date, but at least we have an idea of when to expect the game to come out.

@springfart: announcement teaser thing was less than 2 years ago in December 2013. It was silly to let it out so soon, all it's done is increase the pressure on a small team in what is a normal time to build a game as big as this. Not to mention the whole flooding thing

@dubiouscomet: Word! Yeah, I have a feeling people not familiar with other space exploration/mining/truck sim games are going to be very disappointed with this. It's unfortunate that Sony is trying to hype this game up as the 2001 of video games, when it most likely will only really be enjoyed by the kind of weirdos that enjoy looking at planets wizz by, while carrying a hold full of moon gems (weirdos like me!).

I'm especially excited because it'll give me a chance to break out my HOTAS again after I got tired of E: D

So they were clearly doing a homage to the tears in rain speech right? What I want to know is this a $15-$20 downloadable title or a full $60 release.

Why even set a date 8 months ahead? Who benefits? It's pretty far in the future that it doesn't please the fans, and it's pretty far away that it doesn't sound like they're done and just polishing up either. Could it be that Sony told them to set a deadline because Hello Games would otherwise just keep iterating and adding more and more and more? Strange announcement.

Kinda mad that they'd been hyping this game for a Winter 2015 release these past few months, what with E3, Colbert, etc. only to be like, "HAH! JK JUNE NEXT YEAR SUCKAS!"

So they were clearly doing a homage to the tears in rain speech right? What I want to know is this a $15-$20 downloadable title or a full $60 release.

First thing that popped into my head was Blade Runner after his "I've seen things...." line.

Pretty sure this is gonna be a thing for two weeks, then nobody cares anymore. I didn't see anything yet that allows a long-term development or progression (other than jumping from planet to planet).
Sure, the huge universe and variety of planets is neat, but I believe it will loose it's magic very quickly.

I just don't get the hype around this

This game has been announced for while now. Even if it is 8 months in the future, they had to publish a date.

I'm with you. I'm all for games primarily about exploration, however, the graphics in this game aren't that impressive that I would really be wowed by anything i see.

So excited for this game. It is nice to see some new space games of late as I am having a blast with Rebel Galaxy. I think I missed my calling to be a space trucker by being born 50,000 or so years to soon. "There is no need to look in the hold, space officer. I ain't carryin' nuthin. Just a moseying on through."

I am hyped for the game but really, June? that is quite the wait... like litteratly just under a year, as someone else pointed out, it wont be released until after next years E3? then don't bloody over hype it all year long for a 2015 release date.... Glad their taking the extra try to bug hunt, because at this point, the game is literately done, think we've all seen so much of this game now that you can clearly tell its finished, but to bug hunt every single planet, on every single galaxy throughout the universe which is so comprehensively massive, I doubt they'll EVER squish every bug people come across.... I wish them luck, and hopefully this game doesn't completely suck ass after the first 5 hours of playing... Worried there is litterately nothing else to do but explore, and upgrade your spaceship....

A game like this screams ability to craft and make things, on planets, in space, equipment, bases, whatever.... I'll be sorely disappointed if all you do is fly and land on planets to get "fuel" or rare materials just get your ship to the center of the universe in one way or another.

Why not hype a game up for what, two years straight?! That is too long.

Then again, the freaking Witness took a lot longer.

@henryhenry: I'm guessing it is. Sounds like him and the way it starts with 'I've seen things' and ends with 'you wouldn't believe'.

I feel like when this game finally comes out, it's basically just going to be a shooter.

My guess is the opposite - it's going to be a really boring minecraft/starbound clone with some token shooting that everyone is going to wonder why they got so hyped up about. At this point they've pretty much killed all the excitement they had going when they unveiled it (far too early).

I have to wonder how the Space Engineers planet update and other games like Elite: Dangerous or even Starbound coming out first will affect this game's performance.

Seems like there have a been so many alternatives to No Man Sky's style of game that released very recently.

Glad it finally got a rough date. People on here aren't wrong, the marketing push for this game started too early which makes me curious if that was Sony's doing or the team's. A small team like Hello Games likely isn't going to be 100% well versed in the idea of building hype rapidly and then delivering while its ripe, so I fear it was Sony just going "Oh,this is cool. Do you have an idea when its done? No? Well, that's fine. Come here and show the world."

So in other words it'll be like pretty much everything else. Unless they throw in some gunskins or compendiums. Then people will play it for years on end, regardless of the gameplay.

My guess, based on nothing more than a gut feeling and what little tangible info we've received, is that No Man's Sky is going to be to Elite: Dangerous what Minecraft is to Dwarf Fortress; nowhere near as deep, but accessible to a much wider audience.

The amount of rumours about dodgy stuff going on behind the scenes has put me off this game.
