I slowed down the video to watch the ship enter and exit the atmosphere. I wanted to see how they 'faked it'. But really I don't think they faked it. For that alone, I need to play this game. Soooooo cool to fly between planets! Game is amazing.
To the critics: Not everything needs to be about violence and loot. This game is not destiny. They're attempting to reward you for the joy of discovery and exploration, not some semi-gambling loot system brain fuck. I LOVE IT

It's at 9 PM PST, so 7 hours from now. Dunno if it'll have a stream though.
Edit: Here's the PSX schedule for today:
Based on the wording on the PS Blog it sounds like it'll be streamed on Twitch.

GAME OF THE FOREVER
LOL Yep
Exactly. I'm so fucking sick of '500000000 XP!!", "LEVEL UUUUUP!!", "BLOODY SCREEN!! SO REALLLL!", bullshit in games. This is so refreshing.
This is me at the universe scene.

I think Sean said around 9pm (pacific time)? So around 7 hours from now if I heard correctly
edit: beaten
Got a link to an interview where Braben or Bell said that?

The scale and beauty of this alone makes me want to play it but I fear it will be frightfully boring or repetitive.

I can only speak for myself, but the main reason I'm excited and probably more biased about NMS is because they are finally putting the pieces together and combining all of this existing tech and ideas into a single product. I'm also a space sim fan, and generally love the old romantic sci-fi ideas. Apart from some very old C64 or PC DOS games, I haven't seen such a game in a very very long time, so even if NMS doesn't deliver on the gameplay side, we'll still have a working example of a seamless sandbox universe for other devs to improve on.
I think it's a unique mixture of combined tech, an indie team and the right timing for such a sci-fi idea that's making people excited.
That being said, I can agree with you on many accounts, since Hello Games haven't shown a lot of other gameplay mechanics. Murray said even at the beginning that he wasn't really sure they should've made the original reveal and that is probably true. They've revealed the game a bit too early and have repeatedly shown mostly the same things with slight variations. I was honestly expecting something more from this last trailer and it was really obsolete. Maybe they'll show something more in that presentation, who knows.
I can see how you're seeing this lack of other footage as just simply hiding stuff or that the features they've talked about won't even be in the game in the end, and who knows, as a worst case scenario, this very well may turn out to be true. I doubt it myself, but I admit I'm biased to the very concept of what they're doing.
I am sure however that the game will most certainly be less than what most people think. It will most certainly have the drastic popup (it was there from the very first trailer btw), the gameplay mechanics will be very simple and arcade-y (as they've repeatedly mentioned) and a significant number of people will find it boring after a while. I'm fine with that. The hype around the game might not warrant that, but there it is. I'm glad there's a hype for a space sim exploration sci-fi title at all, but some people will definitely be disappointed.
But even with all of this said, we don't really know if all of the gameplay features won't be in the game. They may very well all be there, and I'm saying this because these features aren't that impossible to pull off at all, regardless of whether they're fun or not. I'm a bit annoyed by all of the questions if this is just a walking simulator or what do you do though. They're making a game, they've mentioned a bunch of gameplay mechanics that have nothing to do with sightseeing and at least in that respect it's fairly clear what they're aiming for.
If all of these topics about No Man's Sky have taught me though is that a clear marketing campaign is insanely important, delivering a clear and concise message about what's your product is what people want and understand, and there's no going around that. Although this obscurity has people talking about it constantly so I dunno.

Didn't they say there was a massive announcement about this game at psx? I guess that's at 9pm.
Thanks. They really should be showing off all these things though.

"An extreme case was Elite, which was originally planned to contain a total of 248 (approximately 282 trillion) galaxies with 256 solar systems each. The publisher, however, was afraid that such a gigantic universe would cause disbelief in players, and eight of these galaxies were chosen for the final version.[4] "

Yup, another lengthier one tonight.

Where is the one in an hour supposed to take place?
Also, is twitch completely broken or is it just me?

What is real? How do you define real?
Is there one in an hour? Thought it was 9 PST.

I have a feeling this game is going to be one of the biggest disappointments of next year.

This game looks like the perfect complementary piece to go with ripping bong hits and nothing else. Walk around, say whoa, do again some more times til you're not high, then put in a more challenging game.

Looks like Hello Games is going to be able to pull this off. Have been incredibly impressed with every new piece of footage.
This looks like a explorers dream come true project. I could spend hours just wondering around Skyrim taking in the environment and discovering this and that, be it major or minor. Could play a game like this for a very long time.
Looks phenomenal. Well done Hello Games.
One thing people don't seem to be talking about is the sound. The sound is phenomenal. A ton of ambience to listen to and it all sounds very good. Love it

HHAHAHAH. In all the craziness of the NMS threads over the past few days, I think this is the best one yet. Wannabe dinosaurs - I'm dying.

I expect this will be the PSX trailer with some discussion about what their aims and goals are.
Hopefully this has more substance. I'd love some lengthy gameplay footage with no music. I want to get a real feel for how atmospheric the game is in terms of sound design when you're on a planet.
Oh heeeelllll yes.

Oh, it definitely will be. Gamers have been having ridiculously unrealistic expectations for even games from "AAA" publishers in recent years.
There will be many fits thrown when No Man's Sky releases.
Not an interview, an e-book about 3D rendering, don't know their source:
http://books.google.no/books?id=1GZ...wAQ#v=onepage&q=282 TRILLION GALAXIES&f=false
Something to do with a 48-bit seed, 281,474,976,710,656.
Get the name right if you are gonna bash it. Clearly havent been following the game.
one is 45 mins from now. The other (A night under NMS) is 6h 45 mins from now

See this is what I thought was going on... But that other schedule doesn't even have No Man's Sky at 3.... Plus they already showed a that trailer, so maybe the thing at 3 wont even happen.
Perhaps some gamers are aware that the game isn't finished yet.
Maybe Im wrong, but that pic with a program guide shows the panels on the event, and the list I posted is the Twitch schedule. Maybe the thing at 3 ist just for the Twitch stream, and the Night under NMS is their panel at PSX.

game does have character progression and combat. You are collecting resources or stealing other players to improve your own ship so you can explore even further into the universe. Ultimately the goal is to reach the center of the universe.

Yeah, and the game gets more difficult the deeper you get.

Sounds like what some of ya'll are looking for is the same boring shit you'll find in our recent AAA games. Filling bars, dots on maps, cinematic bullshit, holloywood actors doing VO and mocap, etc.
I dare some of you naysayers to buy Minecraft and play it, if you havn't already. DARE. Games like Minecraft dont need ANY of that shit. The game simply creates the foundation, throws you in it, and says "go." That foundation is built in a way that allows you to create your OWN experiences. The game doesn't ask you to do ANYTHING. YOU decide. Games like Minecraft stole WEEKENDS from me, simply because of this.
Seriously. Buy Minecraft, boot it up, and start a SURVIVAL game. If you let it grab you, chances are, you wont wanna put it down.
Educate yourselves.

Someone make a gif when he zoomed out of the galaxy that shit is unreal and so damn beautiful.
Its the feeling all of us had when Will Wright zoomed out of the galaxy in Spore. Except in Spore they had to turn it into a game and all of a sudden the cool sci-fi simulator everyone wanted became a cutesy thing that dissapointed.
So as long as NMS doesnt lose itself too much then i think it will be fine.

Oops, mustve been thinking of something else at the time. I'm not bashing the game by any means. Just the gaming community, if anything. I'm looking forward to the game because I have a pretty good idea of what it will be like when it releases. I'm a fan of exploration in games. I enjoyed Afrika and Endless Ocean.

I'm kind of getting burned out on this game already, they keep showing the same kind of trailers starting and ending the same way ticking them boxes (show surface: check, fly around: check, go into space: check). I wish they show a trailer that has a different tone and show other aspects, if there is one. I'm still interested in the game but it hasn't that mystique of the E3 showing anymore.

Oh ok. I know the stream for No Man's Sky at 9:00 will happen for sure though. Sean said so on stage.
