Why do they always release PS4 videos, where the **** is the PC gameplay?

Because it's made with Sony money.

No point Pre Ordering, it will be on key sites for cheaper anyway.

One think that seems a shame is that no easy way to meet up with friends in game and explore together, think thats a real shame and missed opportunity cause peopme would love to group togrther

How does that mean that they can't release any PC footage? Can they not release footage from both platforms?

Why would Sony want them marketing the rival platform?

Just had a look on Kinguin, it's £1.50 more expensive than on Steam or GOG

I know, I know it will come down, just thought it was pretty funny.

its a interesting concept i like some of the ideas with mp and friends rivals it would be amazing.

what is the end goal though ?

hopefully some people can mod or tweak it.

Im quite excited for it still, just love anything like this. Something I can just veg out to on the controller.

I'm going to give it awhile & see how Star Citizen progresses. If SC lives up to its promise then that'll be the space sim for me I think. Elite Dangerous NE from what I've seen seems to have too many gameplay niggles whilst NMS seems like a compromise between the two. I also sense that if successful Star Citizen & Elite will continue to be expanded upon whilst NMS is envisaged to have an end of life moment (if that makes sense).

I'll be playing both SC and NMS. SC as more of a serious space sim, while I'll play NMS in a relaxed fashion with the the Mrs.

This doesn't strike me as requiring a proper joystick set-up as Elite Dangerous did, am I wrong? Gamepad looks like it will be more than sufficient here?

I've seen Sean Murry playing a pad on various YouTube vids so guess it'll be fine on either.

Skeeter · 16 Jul 2016 at 18:21

Yeah its a game designed around a pad.

I have to say I'm skeptical about this game after seeing how elite failed to make exploration rewarding. That said, I will await release to see how they've done it before deciding whether to buy it or not. I do like my space games!

If they ever do planetary landings on Elite for every planet & make some of them atmospheres & life then I think that'll be the game for me, but no idea how long that'll be coming.

To be honest though with ED, SC & NMS all either released or on their way we're going to have some decent games to play.

Personally I think I'd get £1/hour of play out of it making it value for money. I'm hoping for a fairly relaxing game with lots to see

This.

This game looks even better than I had imagined. Fingers crossed it fares well with bugs etc.
