Discs are a total faff. Plus the drive spins up and vibrates my unit it's sat on. Makes a right load of noise. Think I'll be going digital from now on.
LOL, my PS4 has never seen a disc yet. I don't even know if the Blu-ray drive works at all.

Not only do you disappoint me, but you disappoint him too: http://i.imgur.com/hz2PYe4.gifv
I'll never get tired of that gif XD
There we go, that's more like it! I'm also pleasantly surprised that nobody on these forums is angry about 'an indie game being sold for £40/$60.' Which is a good thing. I feel like most indie game have a better value proposition over AAA games these days XD As much as I think this deserves to be priced $60, the not so funny thing is I can't afford that right now :s So I'll just have to wait till I sell a kidney to buy this lol
I'd also be interesting in the Limited Edition, but there doesn't seem to be one for PC. I'd rather buy the PC version, cos mods, 1080p60+ and all that. Unless they have some cool cross-platform features for this game, in which case I'd be willing to buy PS4 version too. Considering all the recent connection problems with the likes of the Division and Hitman, I'm a bit wary about day 1 server issues on such a big launch. All the more reason to wait till after launch to buy it.
You can play this game offline. So connection not needed. So don't worry about server issues etc. You'll still be able to play
Hallelujah! Indie games do it right! But of course the best experience is the online experience, where you can (I think) come across other players and explore together or fight each other. I think this will be like Minecraft in that regard. Initially people will be excited about the single player, but when that wears out, people will jump back in for the multiplayer. I can already imagine roleplay servers/regions and the like.
It's been said many times that the chances of you ever seeing another player are quite slim. This is not World of Warcraft in space.
Check out this article. It's 41 amazing things you didn't know about No Man's Sky. Most interesting.

I think the game is going to be Journey on steroids - making your way to a certain point, taking in the sights and sounds on the way but with the addition of combat, resource gathering, etc. Minus arguably the most important part of Journey - a companion.

You can see other players. But the chances of running into them are very very slim. The closer to the center of the galaxy you're currently in the more chance you have of running into other players as that's where everyone will be headed. Of course there nothing to say you have to go to the center. But that is the goal of the game.

But what if you want to play with friends? Would one be stuck trying to figure out where they are for several hours or something? Surely there's some sort of universal map or co-ordinate system so that people can meet up if they want to.
I guess this reiterates the point made towards me earlier, but still has me worried that folks can't play with their friends. But more importantly, thank goodness it won't have MMO mechanics. We've already got enough with Destiny and now the Division.
Reading up on the article, this game sounds like it will have a lot of depth to it. I've also now realised that this game might be very cool in VR... as someone currently has zero interest in VR technology, that means a lot.
It's not that sort of game though. Think of it a bit like Journey, where you're playing online but not with anyone you've deliberately set out to play it with.
I think the major difference is that NMS actually has scenery and worlds to explore. In ED you just hang around in the inky blackness looking at different coloured spheres.

Have hello games confirmed that there is more than one galaxy?, the word universe and galaxy gets mixed up so much by some that don't know the difference.
They way I understood it was its one galaxy that includes many stars with its orbiting planets just like our solar system with our star the sun and our planets that orbit it.
If it was a universe, well the chances of ever meeting another player is zero.

They're different games, end of, though you're also wrong now that Horizons is available, you can actually land on some of those spheres and do... something... not much though

Apparently there could be more than one galaxy. That's word on the rumour mill. How true that is I don't know. We won't find out for another 3 months either.June is too far away.
Sure is
