Man, that article is great:
For instance, Duncan insisted on permitting moons to orbit closer to their planets than Newtonian physics would allow. When he desired the possibility of green skies, the team had to redesign the periodic table to create atmospheric particles that would diffract light at just the right wavelength.
Jim Sterling's site was down almost as soon as the review was posted was it not? Would people work that quickly?
I usually don't do that, but on this, I just want to quote myself. Because "by others" probably means "the developers of the game":

The accurate description for this game would be:
Destiny-with-a-shitload-of-planets-but-no-missions-strikes-or-raids-and-also-no-multiplayer-component
Yes I played it for around 12 hours now.
Damn a 5/10 from Jim and 2/5 from Videogamedungus.

Sounds much better then Destiny then, IMHO. Strikes and Raids is not something I would want in a game like this.
So it's Destiny but actually enjoyable?
See? To each its own.

Fuck Strikes.
Fuck Raids.
Fuck Multiplayer.
I want crafting
I want exploration
I want space travel
I want survival
I want procedurally generated biodiversity (and rocks).
This is exactly the game I wanted and that was advertised.
If you came to this game thinking it was an FPS, MMO, or traditional game, you my friend made a big mistake. You are to blame, not anyone else.
Oh, I wasn't rating it negatively if that was how you guys perceived it.
It's really just Destiny's exploration and crafting system on more diverse planets. Which is not a bad thing at all, however it is missing a higher purpose.
I think a 7/10 on Metacritic is a fair rating at this stage.

Lol. I remember that now. So much BS. I wonder who can fall for that. It's just 3 numbers from 0 to 255 (RGB), there isn't any BS periodic table nor real atmospheric particles being simulated in the game diffracting light to green in real time.
I hope at some point someone has to compile all the BS they said in the last years in a single thread.
So does Minecraft and yet it is the biggest gaming phenomena of the past decade.
Nowhere did they say there are real atmospheric particles.
In fairness - in one of the interviews, Sean said they simulated the atmosphere and that particles reflect light or somesuch. It was just a throw away line.
So, the colour of the space of the solar system does seem related to the sky on the planets. Usually when I saw streamers go in a green hue'ed solar system you'd notice it was reflected in the sky and the colour scheme of the planet was somewhat tailored to that as well.
He explained it in a fancy way, but I think what he said there is basically true.
I don't know if that question was already debunked but his does it perform on PC?

lol what is this from? Looks similar to another gif but with someones face photoshopped on almost.

ive played a few hours and i think the game is ok. there are some really cool moments and finding/naming new planets is entertaining but the game basically boils down to a modern day collect-a-thon. people ask what you do in the game.... well, you collect a bunch of shit that will help you get to the center of the galaxy and end the game.
i think it is worth $60 if you love sci-fi/space exploration. but if you dont like things like "hey go collect 200 iron, 300 plutonium, 250 zinc in order to build this piece you need for your spaceship so you an get to where you're going. oh and if you want this upgrade on your suit also go collect 350 of this, 200 of that" etc. then i don't think this game is for you.
...the game still looks to be selling wellWell, lets get the popcorn and wait for a 80%off steam sale in a week.

Technical director Alan Roberts breezes through the ins-and-outs of a real-life optical phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering, which is what causes both the vivid blue hue of the midday sky and the red and yellow tones of the sky at sunset. In a nutshell, the sky (...) is blue because science dictates it, not because an artist glanced out a window and settled on the closest shade he or she could find.
“This now means that we can simulate the way that light interacts with particles in the atmosphere,” says Roberts. “We no longer have to have artists picking the colour of the sky from a colour picker; we can model the amount of particles in the atmosphere and the sky and the lighting reacts accordingly.”
“That’s how it works in real-life, and that’s exactly how it’s working here,” adds [art director Ben Penrose].
Bringing dynamic weather (...) means we don’t have to 'fake' anything. We can build our weather system with an emphasis on simulation. Our sky isn’t blue in our game because we painted it that color, it’s blue because that’s the way light separates in the air when it interacts with water particles; it’s why the sky is blue in real life. If conditions are right, we can simulate mathematically accurate rainbows in our world, creating these stunning moments of incredible natural beauty.
Watching Angry Joe playing it on Twitch now. He literally said he hates the game.
