Support NeoGAF

[mhayes86]

I have had little to no interest in this game from the beginning (though I'm legitimately curious about how it turns out), but I really like Sean Murray. Every press release or interview, the guy is so incredibly humble.

 

[gablekevin]

I cant wait for the game and im sure its going to deliver on everything i want it to be. I hope this makes them super rich and they can work on whatever they want to next without fear of going broke.

 

[OmegaFax]

Read his forward ... kind of literally my reaction.

 

[Conscience Falls]

And I had just managed to convince myself to wait until after Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, dammit.

 

[NightShift]

I was going to wait for impressions but fuck it. I'm weak for honest and sencere devs.

 

[Falchion]

That's cool, seems like a nice guy.

 

[Z_Y]

This is what happened to me too.

Me three.

I want to say I'll never learn, but I haven't played NMS yet. Maybe this will be the one that makes it all worthwhile.

 

[dano1]

Definitely buying the game. But I might wait until I get my Neo and probably 3 updates in.

 

[Jinfash]

If you 100% his previous games, Joe Danger / Joe Danger 2, you're given a secret email address to contact him. If you do you get a very heartfelt, individualized reply and a little booklet that tells the history of the ups and downs of the studio and the games' development.

This is really special.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

Great work Sean. Now try to get some rest!

 

[neojubei]

Fuck you GAF. I fell for the hype and preordered it on PSN.

 

[LiK]

Fuck this guy. He makes it so hard to hate him.

Spoiler

LE arrives tomorrow.

 

[SOR5]

Nice message, humble beginnings turned into a beautiful victory no matter what

 

[Mesoian]

calm down

He can't calm down.

I had no idea. Wow. I own both of those games but I'm far from 100%ing them. I might just have to do that now so I can personally thank him for what he has helped create. What an incredible secret.

 

[Blablurn]

Nice message from a nice developer!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

What are you two up to under that cellar?!!!!

 

[Lee Chaolan]

calm down

lol not sure why but I literally lol'd at this.

 

[thecouncil]

That was beautiful.

I cried.

 

[DJSharpeCheddar]

Act like you've been there before, man.

 

[Arttemis]

Shit, I am trying to build some savings, but I'm really tempted to preorder this right now. On principle, it seems worth it, but i know I've wanted this game due to its endless design and style of content since it was announced.

What a refreshing forward from a refreshingly progressive studio.

 

[OmegaFax]

What are you two up to something under that cellar?!!!!

[Cornbread78]

Wow, great message to gamers, so real.

I'm not really into this kinda game, but that is some really cool stuff to connect to fans.

 

[Soma]

Yknow what fuck the cynicism and whatever jadedness I feel towards game development and whatnot.

I genuinely wish the best for Sean and his team despite whatever I might feel about the game when I eventually play it.

 

[sora87]

I hope us regular peasants get the same message in our copies

 

[iratA]

Love this letter, its so personal and, if you've watched his interviews you will notice this is Sean all over. Honest and extremely humble. Been on board with this since Day 1. Bring on the Universe!

 

[MisterCTwo]

Right in the feels, Mr. Murray.

19 minutes to go...

 

[dreamstation]

Really hope this game does well for them. They deserve it more than most. Thank you Sean and the team at Hello Games. Can't wait!

 

[labx]

mad respect for this dude.

 

[Deckard Chapel]

That's all class there, ladies and gentleman.

It's humble, succinct and from the heart. This is a man that literally put his blood, sweat and tears into this game and I can tell that not only was it a labor of love; but it's something that he truly, honestly hopes that everyone enjoys.

If 100% was the highest I could like No Man's Sky - it just jumped to 200% after reading that.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Sean Murray, you's a real one.

Might have to get this earlier than planned.

 

[NegativeCero]

Not gonna lie, Sean's approach to the lead up to this game makes me want to buy the game just for how cool and humble he's been. Genuinely happy for the guy.

 

[OneUh8]

That is awesome. Truly genuine guy. Rooting for him and his team!

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Sean is a good dude, I hope his game is a success sales wise.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

.

Thank god this game is about space. No cellars in this game!! (Right?)

 

[Trojan]

Sean Murray is such a genuine guy. Even if this game is terrible, he deserves my money. But we all know this game is going to deliver.

 

[LiK]

he does what most PR companies can't do.

 

[Mr. Mister]

Feels inappropriate and completely calculated to get a reaction like this. Hope the game cane speak for itself because the "gee wiz guys I really hope you like it" thing is sort of played out at this point.

 

[ironcreed]

Thanks for taking your time and busting your asses to bring us this sort of game. Some of the things that it will allow us to do has been a long time coming.

 

[OuterLimits]

This reminds me of reading cool letters to the player from Kou Shibusawa in most Koei strategy games manuals(which were super thick) as a kid.

Sean, get some rest man. No need to stress that some people won't enjoy it. Many people will have a blast playing it.

 

[Obliterator]

Beautiful and heartfelt. I can only imagine the pressure he and the team have been feeling with the immense hype the internet made out of this game from its very first trailer.

Really hope the game is a success

If you've ever seen this guy talk about the game, or talk about his time in the industry, or his love for sci-fi, this comes across as completely genuine.

 

[ps3ud0]

Cool so is this in all the physical copies or just PS4 ones?

Reminds me of the note in W3 that CDPR left...

EDIT: Ahh reviewer only - never mind!

ps3ud0 8)

 

[delume]

Beautiful. Sean, you have my axe!

 

[Conkerkid11]

Wow, that was touching.

Dude needs to get some rest now, as do the rest of the devs. Talking about having slept very little and not eaten much when describing the Twitch stream they had up earlier today.

Looking forward to seeing the reviews, but looking even more forward to this Friday.

 

[valkillmore]

Right on holy shit I'm like almost nervous

 

[Kaako]

guys, let's hug it out.

And risk catching their cynicism, minus Dr_Lucien...fuuuuck that. I'm glad I don't see eye to eye with the people who think this is purely in self-interest and played out.
