We’ve been seeing a lot of No Man’s Sky ever since E3, thanks to a wealth of gameplay videos and new trailers spewing out of the offices of Hello Games. For a procedurally generated game with seemingly endless possibilities, I feel quite acquainted with the space sim already – even though the latest trailer for the game still manages to show me new and wonderful things.
Stratospheric space battles, water-logged planets and new ways I’m going to conduct extensive ichthyologic expeditions are all par for the course here – with a release date being the only thing missing in what seems like a perfect trailer for one.
Honestly, that trailer seemed to be begging for a little morsel of information popped on at the end, but sadly we’re still entirely unsure of when the game will launch simultaneously on PS4 and PC. Hello Games previously said that a small setback prevented them from announcing a date at E3, so I don’t think we’re too far away from getting a solid answer. And considering all the media the game has been receiving over the past few weeks, I’m pretty confident we’ll get it before the month ends.
But since Sony isn’t going to be holding a conference at Gamescom, this should be able to tide you over until the next big push of No Man’s Sky footage. I’m pretty much sold on the idea of aimlessly wandering space while trading and avoiding the environmental police at every corner or the galaxy. Are you?

Just as i was banging on in the other article about all the footage on this game being uneventful, this comes out. Hype restored…….all is normal in the world again.

Fun on a bun. I hope they some easter eggs planned, like finding Zoidbergs planet or something from Hitchhikers Guide.

Oh how the nostalgia just knocked me on my ass.
Would be like a little child if I had to stumble across something from The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy while running away from a bloodthirsty pack of alien velociraptor hybrids

Or finding a crashed Borg Cube. I would wet my pants there and then…

The screenshots of this game remind me a bit of old timey sci-fi, Buck Rogers etc.

This needs to release, soon. I need my massive space exploration fix!

You and me both dude. Playing FTL and watching Enterprise to keep my space exploration needs in check, for now

My viewing of ST Voyager has got me all worked up for this… I just hope it is not a massive pile of Vulcan poop…
Admiral Chief in Skellige
July 21, 2015 at 11:07
I wonder what colour Vulcan’s poop
Dutch Matrix
July 21, 2015 at 11:10
I will ask next time I see T’Pol… Bugger that. My heart belongs to Seven of Nine… So I will answer the question all ask… What colour is the borg’s poop?
Admiral Chief in Skellige
July 21, 2015 at 11:14
Does a borg poop, or is it….ASSimilated?
Dutch Matrix

I find this poop unworthy of assimilation…

I still don’t understand how the Femzies get to call the shot on the name of this game though…

Agreed,
No bigoted-cisgendered-white-imperialistic-paternalistic-racist-shitlord’s sky would be much more appropriate 😀
The name actually reveals what I think will be the setting. The no man’s land reference probably means it will be set in a war between two forces, or the ruined aftermath of it.

It looks like there is destructible terrain. I wonder what extent it will reach. Will we for example, be able to carve a message into the side of a planet, or dig a tunnel through the planet and experience the Zero G in the planet core?

Not trying to be mean or nasty, but just so you guys know, this trailer isn’t new. Not sure who started this, but everyone’s been posting this with a story like it’s brand new. This trailer is from June of last year. If you go on NMS’s YouTube page, you can see when it was uploaded. It’s not just here though, game sites everywhere are putting this up again.

Everyone knows this trailer has been around since august of last year, right? Right? Just me? Oh well.
