I mean, new to us and those people that have been following the game steadily since announcement, but I imagine IGN's coverage got it in front of a lot more eyes and raised awareness of it even higher. For us, it's been mostly an annoying drip-feed of old news with new vistas as a backdrop, but I can see it being good for people that had never heard of NMS before this.
Crowded year or not though, I really wanted this game in 2015 :\

Jesus, we are not going to run into other people in this game.
If there is no news from Gamescom, I'm going to take a wild guess that this is a SteamVR launch title. If that were the case, it would at least give a reason for being coy on the release date while having previously confirmed a 2015 release date. If this is true, then I'd expect to hear something about it in October and then a release in November / December for all platforms.
Also mysteriously missing are The Witness and FireWatch, both of which look like they could also be the same

Well I'm generally only interested in it from my perspective, so it has been a total disappointment./' exclusive month of first access and news doesn't make me think "90% old news regurgitated".

Hoping we get a release date today!
otherwise what was the point of IGN First'ing this?

Then you missed my post... we are not. IGN explicitly stated that in some other feature they had (at the end of it, he outright said he won't have one).

Yep. Good ol IGN just landed a TON of clicks.
Some of the footage was amazing though. I still think the "5 new planets" video was my favorite. Excellent stuff.
And after that we're hoping for an early 2016 Morpheus release and otherwise there is the GDC and then the E3 and so we'll always find an excuse
Just release this game already, i feel like it's really missing it's momentum with a 2016 release.The From Humble Beginnings article was my favourite thing we got from First, even if that too didn't have anything new.
From the way Ryan McCaffrey was speaking on the podcast I think they too thought they were going to have a release date to announce but it seems it sort of blew up in their faces.

Procedural bug hype
Well I am disappointed there was no release date but I'll survive. I'm in the middle of the Witcher and Borderlands 2 and also have a pretty lengthy backlog. I will try to put it out of my mind for now
I believe Sean that they have a good reason and we need to all remind ourselves the more time they have to work on the game the more awesome it will be on release

So it's got to be a Morpheus launch title, right? What else could it be outside of their control that's holding back the release date announcement.
It could also be a SteamVR launch title, which would put it in the 2015 time frame
Pretty much seems the VR announcement date is hindering them right now because they are going to release it as a title for it.
200€ (or more) toy glasses are not worth the wait. They can bundle them with whatever they want, it's a niche product and no game will change that. I will be truly dissappointed if they really wait for something the majority of the userbase will never use or even see with your own eyes. So, i truly hope it is something different they just cannot say.

What in the QA made it seem like VR had anything to do with any release date announcement?
Probably this regarding announcement of release date & actual release date:
and then this:
Sorry we couldn't get the release date, but it's out of my control.
And for those who thought the month "sucked" or was "90% regurgitated," I'd respectfully disagree. We had a LOT of interesting new footage this month that made our content more than worth checking out. If you didn't enjoy the coverage then all I can say is, "Well, you can't please everyone." Maybe you'll like our next IGN First.

I enjoyed it, cheers.
Would have been lovely for a release date too but I guess we'll just have to wait.

That was hilarious. I was wondering though, how easy would it be to get back in? Even with a jetpack, might be fiddly?

I agree. The footage was enough for me for the month TBH. I'm good.
Also, I'm not sure why you're hyping next months IGN First in a NMS thread. What are you up to DMC??
I'm sure that's something they may have been working on through the month. I imagine Ryan calling Sean up going "Are ya SUUURRREEE?" by the middle of the month LOL

Hey man, don't fret it. The foreplay was good, but the climax was nowhere to be found. We've all been there. You heard about it, right? No Man's Climax. Not coming at this time.
I am really curious what this "thing" is that is preventing them from announcing the release date. From those comments it seemed that they definitely have a release date in mind already. My first thought is that it is going to be a Morpheus launch title but I don't see how that prevents them from announcing that now or at least confirming a delay to 2016. Maybe Sony is making them save the announcement for some event?
I want to believe it is something else entirely and the game is still 2015. There's no reason for them to have teased the announcement for the release date being soon just to announce a delay into 2016. Right, guys? Right?
I wish they could just confirm it is still 2015.

Could be a PSX annoucement in December.
You imply it was decided before the month even started. There were discussions throughout the month. It just didn't work out.

Don't sweat it too much, man. I definitely enjoyed the information we got this month. It was welcome after the super long dry spell. A release date would have just been the perfect cherry on the top.
Edit: Also, yeah, you crash landing that ship was definitely a highlight

Heh, thanks. What makes it even funnier is that I probably couldn't recreate that on purpose if you gave me 50 tries.

It's getting obvious now.
SteamVR should launch in 2015 and it could be part of that line up, in which case it would just launch on everything at the same time. There is also Gamescom next week as well as GDC Europe and PSX in December. Judging from that interview, there is something being held back to do with the game outside of just VR stuff too:
Ok, I gotta question. I go to IGN's main page and click on the No Man's Sky link they have on their four big headers part (The graphic that gives you a choice between four stories to read).
And all it does is take me to an article effectively saying, Ask your questions to be answered on July 31rst.
Where do I find the article that actually has the questions and answers?
hell, I found some one else linking to it and I still get the same article (it does have a video on how no man's sky works but I'm pretty sure that was from earlier in the IGN first coverage). Where do I find the question and answers?

That was the link I followed and it took me to the page. Now it shows me what you're seeing. Maybe they took it down or are updating it? Can't find it either. Weird.
Looks like they updated the article because it had an incorrect release date on it, I'm presuming they didn't upload properly or something...
Ugh.
Sadly, missing the hype train to try and sell a niche product sometime in the distant future. Great.
Oh good, so I'm not just being too stupid to figure out where it is... I started perusing comments wondering if they were annoying enough to make me have to find where he answers people's questions in the comments.

One month of coverage and all I walked away with was this jar of salt.
