Definitely will be picking this up after all the goodwill they built with NMS.

Just gotta wait 5+ years for the initial release to be playable. And it will be on sale by then!

I can't wait for the "something to do" update

[–] Palindromes 2 points 11 months ago

I totally agree! I'm looking forward to it!

They've done a really good job with NMS post-launch and I hope they'll be able handle the launch of this better, but I think I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

From what I read it was was mostly Sony pushing for an early launch. Maybe that won't happen this time :)

Sounds like it could potentially be a great game to play with friends. I just hope there's actually something to DO. Bosses to fight, things to craft, a goal to reach.

I would love the Valheim/Minecraft aproach, not just a fancy walking-game.

I like how the little splash screen/logo in the article is extremely similar to the ominous geometric shape logo NMS has. They really want you to know this is coming from the same people lol

procedurally generated open world that is apparently Earth-like in both geography and scale

which I am going to characterise as Fable meets Microsoft Flight Simulator

i just weed a little

It sounds like they turned all those AI generated "80s Dark Fantasy Minecraft" posts into a legit game

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

considering the games studio, the world is going to be dead and empty, borning+tedious to explore beyond an initial "wow so purdy" and the gameplay loop is going to be designed by someone who has no idea what fun is. hello games fundamentally has no idea how to design a good game, all the updates in the world can't fix that. NMS is about as complex as candy crush, except the grind isn't fun.

It's sad because it could have been such a great game.

Given this we can assume their third game will be called "___ ___ NO"
