Any way to assume how successful? Because I can't imagine Joe Danger being THAT successful. And the sequel did really REALLY badly did it not?
Surely Joe Danger isn't funding NMS's development, unless they are being backed up by someone

This reminds me of Spore. I think its the red trees. I hope its better than Spore.
I don't that's why I'm not excited. A more intimate and tightly designed world would have been more impressive from a team their size.

Game looks incredibly promising.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
Wonder if they have publisher knocking down their doors yet. Hope it's multiplatform, if they do use kickstarter's it's almost criminal to make it exclusive to one system.

Well, one of the creators DID use those exact words in the GT interview...

It makes me think of old sci-fi art that I saw when I was a kid. That captured my imagination.
This kind of stuff:
I creamed my fur when I saw the trailer. I've been waiting for this for so long. I hope they can deliver.

Elite came out in 1984, done by 2 people. It used procedural systems to generate eight separate galaxies. 1984. That game provided lots of people hundreds of hours of fun.
Why it's so difficult to believe that, in almost 2014, a team of 4 people are capable of using procedural systems to create fun, systemic gameplay is something I can just not understand. It's very short-sighted and shows a lack of knowledge of what that kind of technology can provide.
Does the gameplay still have to be fun? Absolutely. But anyone that has played Joe Danger would be able to tell you that the folks at Hello Games know fun gameplay.
Ah, ok. I'm glad you know what's best for them to do.
Lol your asking the wrong guy, I dont have anything to go by other than the developer saying Joe Danger was successful, they have also been released on IOS at this point which probably gave them a boost.
Its entirely possible they are already partnered with a publisher, but they could also launch a kickstarter. However successful Joe Danger was its clear that it gave them the freedom to atleast get this thing off the ground. Now we just have to wait to see how progress goes.

I wonder who is backing them on this. No way they funded this on their own.

I love games where I can go underwater. I also like the idea of potentially infinite explorable worlds. This is crazy impressive for a 4 person studio.

How can people announce games without announcing platforms these days?
Wii U owners are eager to know what platform(s) this is on.
Exploration. He did mention there will be combat, but didn't go into details. Looks like there will be ship combat from the snippets in the trailer (you can shoot stuff).

Oh god, it's a new generation of Elite. I've been waiting, what, 30 years for a new one?

I wanted this game all my life but I wasn't aware of it.

Tickles you right in the nostalgia spot, eh? Or N-spot, as they say.
Me too, man. Me too. And it feels soooo good.

Every Narrative is procedural
The developer did not have time to go into a ton of detail, but he did say that you wont just be going to planets and looking/wandering around. There is combat, there are unique ecosystems with various plant/animal life some of which will be higher on the food chain than you are. Also from the trailer we can clearly see space travel/combat/exploration.
The last part that he mentioned was that it was persistent, but gave no major details on what that entails. No platforms have been announced at this point.
Out of the major publishers they have the best relationship with Sony as far as I am aware.
You just can't make some people happy anymore.
- Small, handcrafted worlds: "Why isn't the world bigger?"
- Large, procedurally generated worlds: "Why isn't the world more intimate and tightly designed?"
- Large, handcrafted worlds: "Why is this game $500 and scheduled for release in 2025?"

No it wouldn't. Do you really believe that? This is a game that gives you the tools to visit apparently inumerous planets with apparently inumerous combinations of fauna, flora, and geographical structures. Even if it ends up being a buggy mess, it will still be really impressive, and worthy of attention.
This is what every person who played Noctis but couldn't even decipher what was going on wants. This is the kind of sci fi that has been seriously been lacking in contemporary media. This is picking up two dead genres, space exploration and space combat. And it's an indie game. This is an impressive enterprise regardless of how you look at it.
Hey if they can pull it off man than I'd gladly take back what I said but as it stands the game looks boring especially compared to other similar described games like Destiny. Loved Joe Danger and I am just not pleased with this direction.

I'd give you a high-five right now if I could.
I'm intrigued by the game and haven't seen anything but the trailer.

It broke even on its release day and sold 50k in its first week. So, I think it's safe to say that it was rather successful for them

Where did you get that picture from and can I have more? lol. Isaac Asimov n shit. Love it.
Looks really cool and ambitious.... but it also looked incredibly boring as far as moving around and actual gameplay. It might be the developers' wet dream and many of our's as well, but I don't know...
Please be good!
Please be good!
As long as there's even a half decent reason to go around and explore, they can have all of my money. Love how it looks as well.

Well at least there won't be any debate over what the OT should be called.
Impressive as an indie game, but it lacked.. I don't know, substance?
Some middling to great art, and very little gameplay information outside of it being based around exploration.
What's primarily carrying my interest for this right now is the procedurally generated aspect of it, which is VERY ambitious. But it might just end up being a game I observe from the far if there isn't a real gameplay hook or it ends up being what we got from Spore.
Getting way too many feels I got from Spore and we all know how that ended.

Different people = Different opinion, is my guess.

I'm impressed, even though i'm not entirely sure what you're supposed to do in the game.
Do Google Image Search for people like Stewart Cowley, John Berkey, Ralph McQuarrie or Syd Mead (and many others). You'll love it

Best thing to come out of the show. Love the idea of being able to hop into a spaceship and fly off world and onto another planet seamlessly.
