Tried to use it twice and it keeps crashing Firefox. To be fair, I think it's my computer and not the website. Others, let me know if it's just me. Thanks.

EDIT: Yeah, seems very resource heavy on my machine too. Mine crashes right after the planet "Fly in".

JoeMcCallister4296d ago

I've had it work - the intro sequence seems a bit heavy and chugs, but going in to the maps and such is cool - just basically street view on Venus, Mars, etc.

nX4296d ago

For me it works perfectly, it's a cool way to show off the planets. I hope the game is as great as it's marketing budget :D

BattleTorn4296d ago

This is exactly what I needed for my boring day at work...

now, if it were only Sept 8th...

KwietStorm_BLM4296d ago

Google already owns Earth. I wonder if this is a hint at what other planets they've added to their army.

smolinsk4296d ago (Edited 4296d ago )

IS that all? only 3 planets and not total freedom on them? looks very limited.

KwietStorm_BLM4296d ago

Are you talking about the game? Because this is just something to do before the game comes out. But would you really expect "total freedom" on entire planets?

Palitera4296d ago

Yeah, that will never happen!

Until No Man's Sky?

Nic_Bunce4296d ago

It's not particularly smooth on my machine either, and my rig is a bit of a beast. Sad times...

Stapleface4296d ago

Once you explore the planets you get something. I won't say what and ruin it for those that are willing to go through all of it. I think it's a pretty cool idea. It was a nice way to kill about a half hour.

SpitFireAce854296d ago

You get a In game Emblem don't waist peoples time..

So half hour of your time for in game emblem..

Heisenburger4296d ago

You totally didn't come off as a brat there.

It's waste bro. Waste.

Stapleface4296d ago (Edited 4296d ago )

No. Not half an hour of my time for an emblem. I was enjoying the extra FREE thing they did for people interested in the game before I got the emblem. How am I wasting peoples time any way? It's not like people are going to make the decision to view this, and look at everything based on my comment here on N4G. Nor did I make this, or post this article. Your comment however is a waste of time. It adds nothing to the discussion. At least I gave an opinion on what I think of the subject in this article. What exactly was the point of your comment?

Palitera4296d ago

To inform people about the cool or not so cool reward?

BattleTorn4296d ago (Edited 4296d ago )

I completed each planet.

Where does it mention unlocking anything?

Where does it ask to link your account, or find out your psn/gt?

Edit: welp, refreshed, and lost all 'progress' - I guess I can do without an emblem.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast642d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole642d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

anast642d ago (Edited 642d ago )

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_642d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981642d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140642d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85642d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj642d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman642d ago (Edited 642d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake642d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn642d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg642d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07642d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Knightofelemia641d ago

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom642d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac642d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake642d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark642d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde642d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125642d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
