Guess I've been under a rock but I had no idea there was like spaceship dog fights. Fuuuuuuuck.
That could be years

I smell a contest
That will be years from now because Hello Games plans to support this game with continual new updates.
I mean you could wait a couple months I guess and there might be some new stuff out like base building and a new cloud system.

I really hope sites don't do traditional reviews, but rather those journal/diaries-kind of articles that some sites do for Fallout and DayZ and XCOM. This game is begging for that kind of coverage

If they manage to get that planetary rotation thing working.
I'd love to just go to a moon during the night time cycle and as day light begins you see something kind of like the ending of The Quiet Earth.

I am probably going to leave it as a review in progress and cover gameplay mechanics, system loops, overall gameplay experience and funfactor. You wouldn't have to beat it to review it but in the end its so open ended its probably best to cover the things most will experience and go from there

Maybe I worded that comment wrong, and it was really all in jest. I meant that I enjoy tech talk (and that was the best part of the stream for me) but this was the team's first official stream of the game before release (and first ever), so for some people this was the first real look at the game. They didn't even give that much insight, it was mainly Sean running away from things and wondering aimlessly, which I'm not surprised by because he was playing without sound and streaming at the same time and it's incredibly hard to focus on gameplay and talk at the same time, especially for someone that isn't used to that.
I mean, Sean's own tweet after that was "@GrantDuncan let's never do that again", so I find the whole stream was just a lighthearted attempt at Sean and Grant to just show a bit of the game, vent a bit regarding all the leaks, hype and stuff and just try and explain what's it all about, related to earlier today's blog post on their website. I'm not attacking anyone or saying they should be better entertainers, just lightheartedly saying the stream was maybe kinda crappy a little bit.
Well, to an extent, but the stream was announced on the "what do you do?" post on their website, and a lot of what Sean was talking about was explaining the early and later part of the gameplay experience, with some comments on the improvements from time to time. I appreciate all the insight and love to see the team talk about the game, didn't mean to come out aggressive or dismissive of what they're doing, I just felt that stream didn't do them that much good.

It's way easier to see the 30/60 difference at closer view distances.
Bakalar knows his shit. It's definitely not 60.
I'd have done the same. The default spaceship is testicles.
If you don't look cool in space you're nothing.

Anyone here know if you need to register a card or PayPal with psn to make purchases? I think my US account is ready to go but I can't work out if I can just buy the code now or if I need a fake PayPal to register to it first too.
I'm so close now. Just a step or two left.

Holy fuck...you can do that in this game? That is pretty damn sweet.

If those games got that, then this game surely should. Wether they do or not, is a whole different scenario.
That is why you rock!

Guys... It's 30 FPS lol
Just finished a three hour session.
The game is so good guys. So fucking good!
I just flew off a planet and got intercepted by a pirate. My first dog fight just above atmo, spinning and twirling above the clouds.
It was so effing cool. So good

Nope, if you use a psn pre-paid code to add funds to your account you should be fine.

yah huge bolders and deposits of gold, heridium in 1.03 looks like huge square dark columns now. copper is a much darker brown/orange color and for some on this planet it only floats in the air lol.
I want to help but honestly I have no idea what you've done and what you're trying to do.
HNNNNNGG. Hype rising to atmospheric levels now. All I want is for the gameplay mechanics to be good/solid cause I'm already sold on everything else.
The vertical lift off drive was fucked and he needed materials to fix it, but Sentinels were on his ass.
Thing looked bulky and retro too.
Thats the biggest amount of horse shit ive ever heard, 50" fuck off!

Posting this one more time being in the same boat:
This is now my default response to Amazon.com shipping issues.
Want your game to be there after work? Well... You're going to have to WAIT by 8PM.
I am too still in this boat, they took their money but have yet to ship.
Makes waiting for PC version easier.
You can actually hide from them. Like proper stealth. It's not that bad - few patrols around and they're easy to give the slip
Destiny is simply an extremely stable 30.

Hmmm... IQ here looks pretty bad. Is it an atmospheric effect (thick atmosphere) or jpg compression maybe?

Reminds of those talk of other planets being rich in materials, how it would be easier to mine some other world rather aliens invading earth. Imagine finding a silicone mountain
Found this water paradise planet with HUGE mountains of gold, i never saw gold pre 1.03 so not sure if i should stay here and farm the shit outa this place lol. Wish we could build bases already.

(post copied over from the screenshot thread to avoid going off topic)
I'm interested in the "science" too!
Reddit link. Instead of counting pixels though, I recreate a scale model of the planet+camera in a 3D modeling program. Here's an example using a screenshot from today's stream:
The sphere I used to model this has a diameter of 2 units and is 15.801 units away from the camera. Since NMS shows the distance to the surface not the distance to the center, you just need to subtract 1.
Then it's as simple as in_game_distance/model_distance*2=diameter in game units.
761,051 Ks/14.801*2=102,836 meter diameter or ~100 Km since it's not completely accurate.
This is the largest planet I've calculated a size for: ~250 Km

So we still have conflicting reports if it's 30 or 60? Sigh.
Being 30 makes the wait more bearable tbh.

The VR dream is dead then. Although judging by the FOV complaints it might not be suitable anyway (that and all the walking around).
Still, outside wanting to play in VR it honestly doesn't bother me that much that it's 30.
They're not taking into account how far away they're sitting from the TV. I see details way more clearly on my 27" monitor than my 50" TV, but I'm sitting a lot more closer to it. The eye can discern a certain arcsecond. If you're face into your 27" monitor, the pixels are bigger than if you're far away from a 50" TV.

Yeah its very stable from my experience. But if you play a lot of 60 fps games, you'll know right away.
It's 30.
This is so damn dope, I'm happy to read this.
