No Mans Sky (PC)

DeanE

It is multiplayer, but it starts everyone at different points in an infinite universe, allowing people to be the first to explore and map certain sections and then combine that information with other players who have also mapped and discovered different areas.  Considering the scale of the game as everything is procedurally generated, it could be unlikely that you bump into other people, unless of course they include a way to fast travel to each other.

I read about this in Edge a few months back and was going to start a thread then. Damn it, I could have looked like a super-cool-finger-on-the-pulse-gamer if I'd done it, now that everyone is raving about it.

For those interested in this they should also look at Limit Theory too, again developed by a very small team.  There is lots of information about that available here.  

I can't wait for both and it looks like it is going to be a big couple of years for space based game titles.

I am surprised there wasn't a thread already made especially after the first video shown at VGX 2013.

I would have but didnt know it was coming to PC or not. Was mainly chatting about it in the PS4 section.

DeanE

Only a video was shown at VGX 2013, I don't believe they mentioned any formats.  The very first place I would have assumed it to go considering the game style is the PC, not console.

Well either way there's on here now Enjoy.

So you're telling me some indie developers who aren't multi-million/billion dollar companies made this game?

DeanE

Some of the best games you'll ever play are indie titles, and yes, they are just a small team based in Guildford.  Their last game btw was Joe Danger, that is certainly some change of direction.

Just marvelous, refreshing and I hope it inspires other companies to start doing something with that moolah.
