No Man's Sky reportedly delayed
No Man's Sky may not guide us across multiple worlds next month, if this report turns out to be true.
Hello Games’ ambitious space exploration game may need some more time in the cargo bay as it’s being reported the game has been hit with a delay.
The report comes by way of Kotaku, who says two sources have confirmed No Man’s Sky has been delayed. One of its sources is an employee at GameStop who shared new marketing materials today saying the release date for the game has been changed. As a result, GameStop employees have been instructed to use a coming soon sticker to cover up the original June 21st release date.
We’ve reached out to both Sony and Hello Games for comment and will update our story accordingly.

Someone in testing managed to beat the game in a 3 hour speed run.

Maaaan I hope that’s not the case. Its current release date seemed like the perfect time for it to come out.
-
Not really. It's actually a terrible time for any game to come out around that time, especially for one so "reportedly" massive. Most reporters would just be getting back into the groove of things after the marathon that is E3. A delay might be the best thing that could happen, assuming they don't delay too much longer.
-
I dunno, I feel like it coming out right near the end of E3 with nothing else to compete against lets everyone finish up their E3 stuff and hop right into NMS instead of it falling either in the middle of a larger release's launch or inbetween two large game launches.
-
I think you underestimate the amount of work that E3 involves, haha, especially when you have to come right out and tackle a game the size of NMS.
It doesn't matter to me anyways. No matter when they release it, I'm sure I'll end up with 100 some odd hours in one week because of... science... ya know.-
I feel like I have a pretty good idea of how intense the work is during E3 and even a bit after E3, but the original release day was for the 21. Is there just as much work being done on E3 almost a week after it's over as there is when the show is happening?
-
I was being sarcastic at that point to showcase how interested I am in the game. Haha
-
Ah, ok lol
-
Yeah. Haha

Basically the point of it is something like Elite used to be. They've mentioned MP, but it's not really a huge component, I don't think.
But yeah... fly to planets. Blow up pretty stuff. Fly to new planet. Repeat. Maybe name a water buffalo after your ex-girlfriend. That sort of thing.-
-
They mentioned it once or twice. But it doesn't seem to be a focus at all. Yeah.
-
iirc, in an interview, the devs regret mentioning MP capabilities at all.
after some time in the NMS subreddit, it seems that other players would see the planets/creatures you've named but won't be able to see your footprints i.e. destruction of terrain, writing your name on a mountainside. even if you were in the same instance as another player (which is highly improbable), there is no chat function.-
Ah. Makes sense. Yeah. Like I said they mentioned it a couple times, but not much.
-
-
-
-
I believe they confirmed quite some time ago that if you somehow were in the same place as another player, you would see them, but that in all likelyhood, you would not know they were another player.
So...who knows what that means. Treat this game like it will be exclusively single player, and if some other shit happens at some point, that's cool.
-

-
-
-
Yeah. It probably will... But until then... I'm going to name every single silly thing I can!
-
-
-
It's an exploration sandbox with light RPG elements. SP only but you can see other people's achievements.
-
-
You are now caught up on what everyone has been saying about it since it was first teased.
Someone will always bring up Spore in these threads.-
-
Umm. Well I didn't say anything there other than to point out what other people were saying.
But based on shack responses to me...pretty much every time I type.-
-
indeed
-
He said this will be the next Spore, I said that a pretty common sentiment. Not sure I really deserved a pile on this one.
-

-
-
From what I remember you can upgrade your guns, suit, and ship. You also get the space cops on you if you continue to be harmful to the natural environment on planets.
-
It's like Spore, but in space.
-
-
The plot thins.

While I hope it's wrong, if GS is getting notification to change a poster, that's pretty much a confirmation.
Fingers crossed it's not more than a month. I worry that slipping closer to Fall means less chance of success as the onslaught of more known quantities begins.-

It's really not struggling to prove shit. People are being deliberately obtuse about this game if they're honestly still asking "What do you do?".
They showed us. If what's been shown doesn't pique your interest, then this game probably just isn't for you.-
I don't know shit about shit, but it always seemed like they had a very clear idea of the scope of the game from the beginning. Then they started showing it around, the hype meter went off the charts, and people started asking questions and making this game out to be something it never was. With the sudden influx of interest in the game, the developers probably took some extra time to put in new elements in an attempt to make the game more like what people were imagining.
-
I think a lot of projection definitely happened, but it doesn't seem to me like anything major about the game has changed.
It was always pitched (as best I can tell) as a survival and exploration game, like many that are popular now, albeit in a massive universe and with a focus on your single player journey over any multiplayer stuff. I don't doubt that they've tweaked stuff, but it looks almost exactly the same now as it did when they announced it.

Hopefully it's just maybe a week or two delay.
Not a good sign to throw a delay this soon to release. -
I didn't even know the DayZ team was involved in making this game.

So many games I have to play... I don't mind this. July/August release would be perfect.

Not surprising.
