And yet my LE hasn't even shipped yet from them, which I ordered back in March.

How does that even work?

It's already almost 3PM EST and the only thing I see is "Arriving by 8PM tomorrow"

It's how they handle all releases now; they don't post them out to usual postal services, they instead send them out by their own Amazon Logistics courier. The good news is it guarantees a release day delivery, the bad news is it could come as late as 8pm (but I have had an order show up as late as 10pm before).

You'll probably get a dispatch email later tonight.

 

[Landford]

That sunset blew my fucking mind off.

 

[bombshell]

Good stuff... sadly the Livestream is atrocious right now. I never seen a chat move so fast, lol. It is like The Matrix digital rain on cocaine.

Was atrocious for me too, but closed the comments and it got pretty smooth immediately. There's a crap ton of comments because there's like 30k viewers. I do have a very shitty laptop though.

 

[ultrazilla]

Damn it, I would have gotten the limited edition but I just got an email saying they shipped my regular version.

Oh well. I've basically been on blackout mode with this game. I cannot wait!

I've always wanted a game like this where you could basically explore everything. Get in your ship, blast off and seamlessly enter space and then land back down on a different planet, no load screens, all real time.

 

[Static Veins]

But there's no official sellers on there? It all seems to go through third parties. Do I just go with an amazon fulfilled one or something? It seems hit or miss whether they'd email the code or actually try and post it. I figured they'd be sold officially on there.

Weird, I've bought them direct from Amazon and received the codes instantly in the past.

20 bucks says that black diamond thing in the logo with the red stuff in it is the center of the universe.

 

[E92 M3]

Amazon.com and Best Buy shipping departments with NMS orders...¯ ¯_(&#12484_/¯

I am so triggered lol. Almost 3 PM and no movement, unless they ship it overnight or this evening.

 

[More_Badass]

Gorgeous. That's why I want to play this

On an iMac in my office, but good call, I will try that, thanks!

Edit: Did the 'pop out player' all nice and smooth now.

Thanks for the info. Did not know this.

 

[bigDave]

Sean is really excited

 

[Kimaka]

He loves "aahh" or "Ummm" or "aaamm" or whatever he is saying after every few words.

Developer showing off the game rather than a PR person. He is slowly getting better though.

 

[arts&crafts]

20 bucks says that black diamond thing in the logo with the red stuff in it is the center of the universe.

I never thought about that, but it would certainly make sense.

 

[causan]

Damn hype is making me consider double dipping on this game. I thought I could wait till Friday for the pc version but I really want to be able to play this tonight.

 

[Tecnniqe]

New Avatar to build up some HYPE

Oh yeah, I would be all over the place. Just taking a little jab.

It's 4 days. :/

[Hoo-doo]

The trading alone is making me excited, fluctuating rarities and values depending on the system you're in and stuff.

I can't wait to buy my first new ship.

 

[Dommel]

This has to be one of the worst official streams in recent years.

The dude next to Sean, why is he even there?

 

[Eggiem]

20 bucks says that black diamond thing in the logo with the red stuff in it is

Spoiler

the center of the universe.

We have a spoiler thread!

 

[Hawkian]

That Soulsesque grave thing is really cool, love all the little influences from across the gaming spectrum.

I think the mark of a quality game in this vein is when you are watching someone play and you know you'd have made a different choice or focused on something else than the person playing, and I've already seen that a few times here.

Also the

Spoiler

Gek

are weird as hell looking. Spoiler tagging because I had not seen them in any video prior to this personally, but I forgive you Sean.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Game pre-loaded

828 MB patch pre-loaded

let's fucking go!!!!!!!!

 

[xCaptainCanadax]

Has it been confirmed at what time they are wiping servers tonight?

 

[valkillmore]

can someone please post a link to the live stream

Double-dipping... over a three day delay? Why not just get the PS4 version and stick with that?

 

[Vorheez]

The dude next to Sean, why is he even there?

Pretty sure that's the cofounder of Hello Games, Grant Duncan. I think that's his name?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Damn that ship was pretty huge and he said there are bigger ones

 

[PodcastFips]

The dude next to Sean, why is he even there?

That guy looks as broken as their streaming equipment, which is kinda funny

 

[OléGunner]

Damn the auto pilot pulse drive with ability to scroll through menus is a nice touch!

 

[Visualante2]

Has it been confirmed at what time they are wiping servers tonight?

Not sure. I suppose it could be automated, but I would want to see the servers back up clean before I left the office. I would guess in the next few hours once the stream is done.

 

[Fujinn]

Does anybody know if the stream is being archived? I can't watch right now and i'd love to watch it when i arrive home.

 

[Madchad]

Sean with the clutch lol

 

[Hawkian]

Damn the auto pilot pulse drive with ability to scroll through menus is a nice touch!

Yeah god that is fantastic. It's like the good bit of Destiny's loading/menu system but you actually are traveling through space

Oh shit attacked en route :>

 

[Brandwin]

The dude next to Sean, why is he even there?

Eye candy.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Sean the clutch lol

Lol that was way too close

 

[Raven77]

We have a spoiler thread!

It's just speculation...haha.

 

[petethepanda]

It would be badass if they patched in head tracking using the PS Camera like some racing games have. I'd love to easily look around the cockpit during dogfights.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

That moment when Sean barely survived those space pirates was brilliant. LOL " shit I've got like 3 hit points left."

lol

 

[DryvBy]

I posted this a bit ago (LE's back up for order) but dang, did everyone just cancel their pre-orders or was Amazon playing with our emotions? lol

 

[styl3s]

So excited i bought it twice on PS4. Amazon LE ordered delayed till thursday and i can't wait that long

I posted this a bit ago (LE's back up for order) but dang, did everyone just cancel their pre-orders or was Amazon playing with our emotions? lol

Maybe Amazon delayed their orders too

 

[More_Badass]

Love that emergent gameplay. Attacking pirates who might have ttacked traders and stealing their stuff

 

[ymgve]

"Enemy ships left" counter seems bugged. It showed 1 ship remaining while there were two attacking him, then went to 2 remaining after he destroyed one.

 

[Landford]

Combat seens a lot more lethal.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Playing the game right now. All I had to do was change the time on my clock and it unlocked!

 

[LookAtMeGo]

No but I think its supposed to in the future. Though you can at least see it in an isolated window in any of the many desktop viewers.

When you going live?

 

[DeepEnigma]

20 bucks says that black diamond thing in the logo with the red stuff in it is the center of the universe.

I assumed that when it was first revealed, but that seems to obvious. I am still going with, either if you ever see another player by dumb luck, that other player is you... or the center is you. ;P

 

[Kaibutsu]

Just got a shipping notification from Best Buy, UPS arriving tomorrow. Let's go.
