No Man’s Sky Really Sounds Like A Breath Of Fresh Air?

It's not like other games we have played before, this one somehow seems really different.

You know, I have to tell you something, I can usually tell when a game is going to be good right from the second I see the trailer, the last game I was over the moon like this for was, the last of us.

I just knew it was going to be something special. And I made that call before all the reviews and before anyone was even playing it. Well guess what? I’m getting that same feeling again after seeing No Man’s Sky. It looks like it’s going to be an amazing game. I’m going to call it here first.

This one is going to be huge. Something about it just seems to be really interesting, something that has just not been done before, not like this, not in this way.

Sony said, “No Man’s Sky has been treated as if it was from one of our internal studios. We have been working very closely with the developers and bringing it into our release program as if we had made it. We are not going to treat it any differently and we are going to put the full weight of PlayStation behind it. If it all comes together as well as expected, it will be treated like a first-party release; it is not a self-published small indie title on the platform.”

Clearly Sony sees something special here, and they have decided to really push the title. Give it all the support it needs to really be successful. The funny thing about that is it’s not a first party title. That all by itself says a lot about how important Sony believes the game will be.I personally can’t wait to check out this title, I think it’s going to be something gamers have not really played before.

This is a game that’s all about exploration, and every now and then you get a title that takes some really big chances and tries to do something different. This game is completely different. The world looks amazing and the fact that it’s being designed on the fly, is really crazy. I’m not sure how they are going to do the find your friend aspect but I hope they are able to work that out, because exploring with a friend could be really big in a title like this. Something that makes it even more fun.

This game has been show a couple of times, but we are finally getting close to the release date of this title. One place to find out info on the game is their facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/No... or the Website - http://no-mans-sky.com

I have played some really cool games that I never thought would be as good as they turned out to be and this game seems like it’s going to be one of them. I have not played this, but it sure does look like it’s going to be a lot of fun, checking out new worlds and enjoying the landscape, finding new kind of animals and thing throughout the world. I will say this, it does indeed have my imagination really intrigued.

Between this and tomorrow's children, I think were starting to see some really amazing games. Games that are not necessarily the big blockbuster titles that most of the time seem to be the stars of the console, your Killzone, or uncharted or call of duty or battlefield. This is something new and different. Can these games be just as big, I think were about to find out. But if you ask me, not that you did, I think this game can be just as big as a Killzone.

Another thing about this game, is they made their own game engine, not something that's really new for a game company, but really interesting when it's a game engine that makes the world up on the fly. In-fact this game is not going to be one of those games were you say ok been there seen that, this world is huge. Not GTA V huge, much, much bigger then that world. It really is going to be something un-real.

But let me ask you, are you excited for this type of game, are you looking forward to playing this?

This is not your normal studio, and this is not your ordinary game.

This procedurally generated world is reaching for infinite re-playability.

This game is going to be so incredibly immersive. And it is exactly what I want. If the game has more than what is already advertised then I will be pleasantly surprised. But, this game just looks fantastic from my perspective.

Open Galaxy... sounds perfect. Exploring and discovering new life is exactly what I want for the human race, I can follow my fantasy of traveling through the cosmos and learning about it all.

Crazyglues3997d ago (Edited 3997d ago )

Yeah I like that idea too of traveling and exploring, there's just something about that, I think all people want to do this, so just like it's fun in life, (travel and exploring) it's fun to do in games.

That's one of the things that will make the game really interesting. Exploring new areas just to see what's there, new life, the plants the environment, it's going to be one amazing game if it's done right.

And I think they are going to nail it. From what I seen so far it's really looking amazing.

isarai3996d ago

It's actually scary how accurate this is to my dream game that i've been wanting for 17yrs. Ever since i played Zelda on NES and bought a sci-fi artbook from a thrift store these concepts collided and went wild in my head but i would have never guessed someone would have the guts to try it. It's one of the main reasons i took a 4yr bachelors course in game design cause i figured if no one else is gonna make it i will.

Needless to say it's easily my most anticipated game of all time

Fez3996d ago (Edited 3996d ago )

I really like the look of No Man's Sky and the soundtrack is the icing... but I feel it might suffer from not having much to do in it - at least judging by the gameplay they have shown. The premise is kind of like that game Proteus that was free with PS+.

It's unlikely that a game based so heavily on exploration can provide enough for me to keep playing - it needs some sort of compelling story or reason on top of that to add some meaning to the exploration.

I don't think it will get the universal praise TLoU got and will most likely be a love it or hate it experience.

freshslicepizza3995d ago

tomorrow's children looks very good, this one i'm not so sure about. the headlines seem to always be about endless places to explore. ok, and then?

it also might suffer from too high of expectations and not refining it enough to come out with a release date in sight. if it come out this year i will be surprised.

IamTylerDurden13995d ago

This and Deus Ex Mankind Divided are my most anticipated games. Imagine this in VR? Fear not, Hello Games is treating this as their baby, as a revolutionary game (which it is) and they will not release it until it's right.

IamTylerDurden13995d ago

No Man's Sky and Rapture will usher in a new era of exploratory experiences that will innovate the industry and change the way we think of games. With VR on it's way experiences like these will become far more common. I can't wait.

_-EDMIX-_3993d ago

I think No Man Sky more so then Everyone's Gone To Rapture as those FP exploration narrative games have existed on PC for quite some time now. ie Vanishing Of Ethan Carter, Ether One, Dear Esher etc have many other titles in that genre that have released before them on PC.

Or Firewatch a title many keep forgetting exist lol. As a PC and console gamer, I can very much state that No Man Sky is something a bit different but only "a bit" as many, many titles on PC over this type of concept, but nothing like No Man Sky (I would say on the level of quality anyway), many lessor titles have tried this. But Them pulling it off will create a very, very unique game.

But I believe we have been seeing that "change" for quite some time now. Love what No Man Sky is doing, but that change has already come long ago.

What this will be might be a change in terms of console gamers seeing a side of PC gaming I feel gets left out often too much in publicity when talking about PC gaming. Often we see MMOs, Mobas, RTS etc but the exploration point and click etc titles have always been sorta lost in that idea of PC gaming by the main stream.

If anything...this will be the change, for console gamers to again see this side of creative, exploration gaming consoles have not really seen much of compared to the PC.

Self publishing I feel has a lot to do with this, not console just like PC is fair game for the little guys to shine lol.

Easily....my most anticipated game on ANY system, only second to my excitement for Star Citizen.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing1d 2h ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit1d 3h ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing1d 3h ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster921d 1h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

Tanktopmaster921d 1h ago

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
