kingcarr21 Posted 19 May 2016 Posted 19 May 2016 The game's original prototype was worked on by Hello Games' Sean Murray, and then expanded into a small 5-person team prior to its first teaser in December 2013 Only 2 and a half years then. Feels longer than that
stripeyfox Posted 22 May 2016 Posted 22 May 2016 This is going to be incredible. I like the idea of exploration and survival but also the isolation from other players. So hopefully not getting my ship destroyed every five minutes whilst being shouted at by some lunatic from Glasgow calling my mum a slag!

So hopefully not getting my ship destroyed every five minutes whilst being shouted at by some lunatic from Glasgow calling my mum a slag! I would love it if in a game where the odds of finding another player are incredibly tiny, within 5 minutes you run into a Glaswegian scaffolder screaming at you about your mum.
stripeyfox Posted 23 May 2016 Posted 23 May 2016 I saw something on reddit today regards the size of the game. Some guy was worried that if he brought the game in a few months then there would be little left to discover. Someone had done the maths and worked out that if everyone in America (300 million people) played the game for 300 hours each and discovered 5 planets an hour, then in total they would have discovered 0.00025% of the planets in the game!

lgfualol Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 I hadn't seen this game before, but it looks pretty amazing. I'm glad they delayed it if it meant a launch of an unfinished game *cough* EA

Both the journalist that broke the story and the lead developer at hello games have received numerous death threats over this.
Finnaldo Posted 31 May 2016 Posted 31 May 2016 Glad someone is. Both the journalist that broke the story and the lead developer at hello games have received numerous death threats over this. Some people are absolute freaks.
leicsmac Posted 31 May 2016 Posted 31 May 2016 Some people are absolute freaks. GamerGaters and their entitlement complex. And of course your garden variety trolls who just want a cheap thrill.
MrSpaM Posted 20 June 2016 Posted 20 June 2016 It's been revealed today that the reason the game has been delayed, is because the TV broadcaster, SKY, has a trademark on the word Sky, and was trying to get them to change the name of the game! What a load of b****cks!
Jaspa Posted 20 June 2016 Posted 20 June 2016 It's been revealed today that the reason the game has been delayed, is because the TV broadcaster, SKY, has a trademark on the word Sky, and was trying to get them to change the name of the game! What a load of b****cks! Yeah they shouldnt be using it as an excuse and if that has been the case hopefully the game is extra, extra polished for release Cant see how companies can trademark words that were well established well before they existed. There has to at least be some context used too, I very much doubt this game would reflect on Sky™ or compete in any off their pursuits, its inane really.
lifted*fox Posted 20 June 2016 Posted 20 June 2016 I can't see any evidence that the Sky lawsuit was the reason for the delay? That's been an ongoing lawsuit for nearly 3 years apparently - I didn't think HG were using it as an excuse for the delay? ****ing crazy stuff though - you could understand Sky taking it up if the word 'Sky' was being used in a broadcasting / internet / telecoms context but considering NMS is absolutely nothing to do with any of those things it's absolutely outrageous that it would even be considered for a legal case.
The People's Hero Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 Stoked for this. Hope its optimised for PC.
stripeyfox Posted 25 July 2016 Posted 25 July 2016 Looks all set for August 9th release I believe. Saw a week or so ago that the game had "gone gold", so hopefully no more delays!
Beliall Posted 25 July 2016 Posted 25 July 2016 Yeah, another company claiming they used a stolen algorithm to make the game. but as you say, gone gold so hopefully still release on time. I'm not overly hyped on this game. doesn't seem to do anything I haven't been doing in Elite Dangerous for 2 years, but I pre ordered it anyway

We will see if that's true or not, I'm buying it anyway as I've not bought a full price game for ages.
MrSpaM Posted 26 July 2016 Posted 26 July 2016 This be the first new game I've bought for a while, can't bloody wait!

By rights I should love it, it looks great, but the multiplayer thing puts me off. I prefer a more solitary existence so I hope NMS will be perfect for me, rather than getting smoked by some dude in a souped up Cobra MKIII every five minutes (if indeed that is what ED is like).

Open play is pretty dead these days as everyone playes in player created PVE groups. there is also a solo mode. join a facebook community, (elite dangerous community) and see what they say about it. there's a lot of fun to be had

The nearer to release we get the more my interest has piqued. looking forwardto seeing what the ame is. i have only watched the trailer on ps store. want to be surprised
Finnegan Posted 26 July 2016 Posted 26 July 2016 I just can't bring myself to be excited. It looks pretty and a great novelty but ultimately just boring and pointless long term. There's far more to do in elite dangerous and I got bored of that inside twenty hours.
