This game has every right to be priced as a "full price title" as any other game in that price range.
Whether or not that price for games in general is too much is debatable, but I can't see why No Man's Sky should be more ashamed then any other title.

Hopefully the pre-order includes an awesome dynamic theme, I love the art style of No Man's Sky.

But but but it's an indie game so it has to be cheap right?

No, the info release is supposed to happen some time this week. Sony had a preview event last week where it was playable to the press. We should get that info either today or tomorrow since the pre-order was dated for 3/3.

What the fuck at $60

Does this game not have enough content for $60?
Maybe they should buy some licences from NASA so it can be the official space exploration game for 2016 and then push out yearly updates or DLC like most other games.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Have the PC requirements been released? Hoping my laptop can run this.
We don't know yet. We won't know until the reviews hit. And it's not just about a glut of content. Far Cry Primal has loads of content, but most of it is shit, and the game isn't worth $60. No Man's Sky has made a lot of promises, but to call it one way or another based on trailers and limited press demos is very premature.

You'd think 2 years would be enough time for someone to learn something... Apparently not.
It's too bad they don't appear to have ramped up the multiplayer any. I couldn't care at all about first discovering things for some book. If you can't play this with friends, I don't understand the appeal at all. Procedurally generated single-player exploration game. What a concept
That should be a fun concept. "Space-DLC", based on recent scientific findings ^_^. I wouldnt mind flying around in that stuff.

Too bad (for the science-factor) that NMS is quite stylised and doesnt feature realistic sized planets and systems and stuff.
Does Minecraft?
How about Ark? The Forest? Super Meat Boy has around the same amount of levels as Rayman, should that be $60?
People were just complaining about multiplayer only games not being worth the price of a full game even though those has virtually unlimited replayability.

I think a lot of people would have been happy with a $60 cost on Minecraft if it was originally that price. Not the early versions, but the issue I have is why people think that big studios instantly make expensive games and when a smaller studio that have been working their arse off try charging the same all of a sudden there is outrage.
In this thread people are telling everyone else how a game isn't worth $60 because it's not the game they think it should be as if they are the unimpeachable appraiser of gaming. Here's a thought if the game doesn't appeal to you maybe it was made with a completely different audience in mind. Shocker I know but it's true.
Anyone complaining that an immersive space exploration game that is creating worlds , solar systems, and galaxies on an unprecedented scale doesn't have cinematics, NPCs, and drop in drop out coop are not actually interested in a space exploration game. They're really interested in one of the other myriad of bog standard game releases available.
If you think a game is not fun without fully voiced narrative, side quests or content tick boxes then clearly you don't want this game. Clearly you are not interested in what it's trying to do. That does not make its aims any less impressive or meaningful for the people to whom the game does appeal. So, do everyone a favor and stop insisting that every game that doesn't appeal to your specific interests is somehow less inherently valuable to everyone else. I promise life will go on even if every game released doesn't cater to your own specific demands and interests.

Wouldn't be the first game that confuses size with fun. I've played Elite 2 and Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall 20 years ago, big numbers don't impress me anymore.

Be that as it may, but if you don't understand why this game has to be basically infinitely large you don't understand what it's trying to achieve. Its very core concept demands it. A single solar system of 10-or-so carefully designed planets (although they would still have to be largely procedural, of course) would make this a very different game from the one HG want to make.
Did you really go through two years' worth of posts from the dude to make your point?
4? Interesting. Any idea when exactly and if those 4 are somehow connected?

I can't think of any other consumer group that actively supports higher prices on the products they buy.
I mean, do you get to the till and demand to pay more for your groceries? After all, groceries are hard to produce and If you don't buy them you'll starve to death. So really that there tin of beans must be worth at least a couple of hundred notes regardless of what it cost to produce. Yes?
Some gamers are like a business persons wet dream. There's no wonder software companies treat their customers like dogshit. They'll literally accept any amount of shit to get their fix.

Of course! Not like you can just do a simple google search that would take seconds.
Maybe depends how old you are?
I grew up with some of the greatest video game makers in history. We got incredible games like the early Ultima series. Hours and hours of time was spent exploring the most amazing worlds ever created. I enjoyed that time as you can imagine.
Those companies? Pretty much all out of business now. So it is easy to be selfish and wish that everything was dirt cheap, but personally I'm happy to support people making great games that I want to play. The alternative is micro-transactions and mobile companion apps and all sorts of bullshit that gets in the way of the classic 1) make great game 2) sell great game model.
That isn't to say NMS is worth $60. I have no idea yet and I have my doubts based on my personal game preferences. But it might be worth $60 and I really fucking hope it is. If so, I'll give it to them day 1.

After buying lots of inide games in my life, it's because most indie = cheap quality. I don't really see cheap quality in No Man's Sky though.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
That kind of proves my point, though.
Sorry reread his post. 8 articles from 3 embargos hitting today.

Well, you just have to wonder how much damage Broforce is doing right now.

Damn they AAA now?
Better have VR support then
(totally believe this is worth 60)

probably because they don't have the same overhead to account for.
value is a subjective thing but people could make strong arguments for games costing upwards of $100 with that mindset.
if more indie games start costing $60, it'll be a quick downfall of this indie scene everyone loves.

So release date reveal at GDC with VR support confirmed?
I think you are confused.
No one wants higher video game prices, hell we'd all love No Mans Sky and GTA VI to be $5 each.
But what we are saying is you have to leave it to devs (including indies like Hello Games) to place their worth and value into a project and give it to the market.
If consumers don't like the price, then the market will respond accordingly with low sales.
The rampant decrying of online folks at a small dev studio daring to price their game above $20 is crazy, if you're not into it you don't have to buy it and can wait for a lower price.
Let them place their own value on their hard work which is increasingly important for tiny indie devs with years of hard graft behind them.
Sure it will get it, if not officially then unofficially.

This is going to be at the GDC presentation for sure

No Nolan North though, so how awesome could it really be?
At least I don't think it has Nolan North in it...
Yeah totally.
Heh sorry, just meant a lot of people would love very cheap games that maintain the same level of quality and content in a perfect world.

I think the chances are that you're wrong.
That sounds even more meaty. 8 articles from 3 embargos. That's yesterdays level of craziness. (All the MS stuff) You sure here was writing about today and not yesterday?
