I'm getting in on Steam, but I'd still like to have this disc on the shelf!

The art makes me think of those old sci-fi book covers.

Sean Murray would like you. That is exactly the kind of mystique they're aiming for.

Amazon has been selling a physical copy for $60 for a long time, but I dont think that is the correct price. Most people here aid $40 and I agree.

If this ends up being the box art or if has something as cool as this, physical copy for me fo shaw

Looks nice.
By the way, what is that flying alien triangle black ship?

Its the thing that is on the center of the universe

 

[Salsa]

huh. Do games also coming out on PC same day have "Only On" ?

 

[FelipeMGM]

huh. Do games also coming out on PC same day have "Only On" ?

Nope, that model is a mockup made by someone else using the art that the designer indicated that will be in the box.

 

[Fdkn]

This is one of those games that improves by buying digital imo.

You keep it installed forever and launch it instantly anytime you want an exploration session without messing with changing discs.

 

[Mononoke]

huh. Do games also coming out on PC same day have "Only On" ?

In the OP it says it's a quick photoshop job. This art has been out for a while, only with this tweet do we now know it was made late in production and could be the box art. OP just wanted people to have an idea what it could look like.

So going by the art, are we confirmed to be human? I was imagining weird theories in my head. That we ourselves in the game are procedurally generated and that at the centre of the universe there is the one and only mirror. Everybody crowding around a monolith trying to find out what they are, to discover themselves.

 

[RadarScope1]

I'm actually surprised people are surprised at a retail release...didn't Sony say they're putting their full weight behind it and treating it like a first party release?

B-but it's an indie game!

...Lots of jokers are gonna be PISSED when this releases as a $30 or $40 game...

 

[ZhugeEX]

I've been so hyped for this game recently!

Just love how the game has been designed and built.

 

[Mr Git]

I really like the color palette in the game looks different from most space/sci-fi games. Hope it comes out this year but not holding my breath.

The colours and style remind me of all the old sci-fi novel artwork. I think that was a pretty big influence going by Sean's early comments and it's bloody brilliant.

 

[legacyzero]

Too bad it isn't coming this year

YOU STOP THAT

 

[Neiteio]

Still not sold on this game — the gameplay looks incredibly dull — but wow, the box art is gorgeous

 

[Tadpole]

That's purdy.

 

[Obliterator]

Beautiful art

I'm still salty Porter Robinson isn't doing the soundtrack

 

[MomoPufflet]

Well they need a disc to pack in with Morpheus

Spoiler

Morpheus support plz

 

[Who]

Wow first time we see an actual human from the game

 

[DidntKnowJack]

That looks too nice to be the final boxart, but I'd love to be wrong.

 

[shandy706]

That looks great. Will there be a PC physical release?

Guessing no

 

[GooWop]

Looks very nice, so many colors! Very excited for this game.

 

[NowhereFaded]

It's beautiful

 

[Broank]

That looks amazing

Spoiler

which means it probably won't be the final cover.

 

[23qwerty]

Has to be one of the best box arts in recent memory

 

[renegade_dewitt]

1st thought that came to my mind when I saw the title of this thread - NMS RELEASING IN 2015 CONFIRMED! But then as I read through the posts, became aware that this was a rumor and a photoshop edit at best...

slightly disappointed, but rumors are better than nothing!

 

[BlackJace]

What do you do in that boxart?

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Hello Games is publishing it, and if there is an retail PS4 version I imagine Sony will be supporting them.

Wouldn't it be Sony publishing NMS the same way they are gonna publish SFV for PS4 but Capcom is gonna publish the PC Version?

...or Shenmue 3 physical published by Sony too but digital reward version for PS4 & PC for kickstarter.

Would warrant the "Only on PlayStation" title if they did publish the PS4 version.

 

[Two Words]

As a retail game, this game really could become the next Minecraft. It really seems like it goes along with what kids today love about Minecraft.

 

[Man]

Best boxart.

 

[Dahaka]

I love gettin' physical!

Spoiler

will totally buy retail

 

[SolidusDave]

Mh, that's the kind of game I want to have on the HDD as the digital version though.
Endless content, so it would be nice to start it up whenever you feel like exploring a few planets or enhancing your tech.

I also expect this not to be very big in file size.

 

[Bioshocker]

Is it the Tet there in the sky? Where's Sally?

 

[Philippo]

Glorious box art.

I just need two things: release date and phys.ed. price.

 

[LiK]

is this the first time we see the player character?

 

[Alcoholic_BigBoss]

Well they need a disc to pack in with Morpheus

Spoiler

Morpheus support plz

If that were to happen I would be all over it. We can only hope

It's not the first time we've seen humanoids in NMS concept art. I'd find it weird that they'd show how the character we use looks like in any fashion pre-release when Sean made it such a big deal that it was supposed to be part of the mystery.

You do realize regardless if you use a disc or digital, ALL games on the PS4 are installed to the HDD, right?

 

[renegade_dewitt]

"Only on Playstation"? I thought this was a timed exclusive?

PC and PS4 console exclusive as announced by Sean Murray during The PC Gaming Show at E3.

 

[barit]

I would buy that game in an impulse buy with this cover. Looks great

Thank you for sharing that. That is an amazing cover.

 

[SolidusDave]

Should have probably spelled it out but I meant the digital version, installed at all times, so that you can launch it whenever you feel like it because it's always ready w/o inserting the disc

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Is the diamond looking thingy actually an object in the game we know about? I always took it as kind of a symbol/logo for the game, but it seems like it's actually a thing in this image, maybe I missed something here

PC and PS4 console exclusive as announced by Sean Murray during The PC Gaming Show at E3.

Have to admit, I've been keeping up with this game doggedly since its announcement and I missed this little bit of information. Seems to be current Sony policy.

 

[LiK]

i wouldn't buy a retail of this game unless there's a really nice CE. it's the type of i game i might just wanna boot up from time to time just to explore. digital for me.

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

Was surprised my self during E3 When I saw a listing for a physical copy on Amazon.

Edit - Weird... the Amazon page is gone now... still got my preorder though.

 

[PSOreo]

I'm actually surprised people are surprised at a retail release...didn't Sony say they're putting their full weight behind it and treating it like a first party release?

This. Seriously why are people acting like this wasn't a given?

 

[superfriar19]

I'll be going digital for the same reason.

 

[liliththepale]

Wow, that's absolutely gorgeous! I love everything about it. I'm not feeling the need for a new wallpaper at the moment, but I'll keep this on standby.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Wow I hope that's the box art because that is gorgeous looking.

Now I kind of hope it does get a physical release so I can buy it just to have that box art lying around.

 

[Psoelberg]

They got Simon Stålenhag? That's awesome.

Same guy who made these, for example: http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/27/4664842/sweden-reimagined-what-if-sci-fi-tech-were-real

Wow, love these. Thanks for the link!

 

[Backfoggen]

I always thought this was gonna be a $60 release. Would be nice if it was cheaper.
