I'm glad NMS was not shown at the conference. Everyone is getting tired of seeing it and people just want to play it now.
My feelings exactly, was genuinely glad it didnt show up

NMS isn't going to be a PSVR launch title, I just don't see that as plausible at this point. I think we should just hope at this point it actually arrives on the new date. Sean has hinted that VR in NMS would probably be more of a separate mode, more of an exploration thing than the full game experience.

Yeah I'm actually surprised that Sean Murray even allowed stupid pre-order things like that. Amazon is offering a ship with a hyper drive from the start. Lame.

Why is it lame? And you're acting like Amazon said "we need DLC. MAKE PRE-ORDER DLC".

It probably wasnt his decision, but one made by Sony.
SO.......
Was looking for games on the Playstation Store to pre-order for the current 'Spend $100 and get$15' deal going on right now and was thinking of this one.
Just interesting that the current release date on the PS store - both the console and the website - is set at 12/31/16 (the generic one they use often when no release date is set) instead of 8/9/16 - esp when they have the release dates set for games like Horizon, Resident Evil, For Honor, etc.
Also noticed Best Buy took it off their "get a $10 dollar certificate for pre-ordering" list
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but now wondering how fluid this release date is right now.

I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been a beta or something like that announcement at all.
And it was odd not seeing it at the conference but assume they are in crunch time so no e3 for hello games.

Is the left one the before?
Kind of a downgrade huh? Man...
I've got the digital pre-order and in my DL queue it's showing 10th August.

I believe it's meant to show the different variations of the aliens. The left was a design originally seen in some behind-the-scenes stuff
The left one is new.

Yeah they already delayed the game once, they have got to get that game buttoned up and ready for release before doing any more press. They gain literally nothing good showing it before they know with 100% certainty that the game is ready to go in early August. And given how close to release NMS was delayed, I have little doubt the people of Hello Games are putting in unhealthy amounts of overtime to get that game out the door.
Thanks for that info

I'm only a little disappointed that it doesn't have anything E3, I would take that as a sign that they're busting ass to get out by that date.
I honestly cannot fathom what a beta for NMS would even look like. Maybe a time limited demo? I doubt they have time to do any of those things.

You try and find a strategy to get people to not buy a xbone and instead install Windows 10

It's lame because the beginning is a big part of the experience as far as I'm concerned, the planet you start on specifically. Start on a planet, learn the mechanics then make your way to other parts of the system. Then eventually upgrading to leave the system. I think the progression and pacing is ruined by having a hyperdrive from the start.
Probably.

Montage? Do you mean from the Sony keynote?
Also, why does the alien have a Quake 2 logo on his shoulder pad.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
According to Sean Murray's Twitter, they are refunding people's preorder's on the 16 if you don't reply to an email they sent out (one I haven't received!), and says not to worry about the date change on PSN. So maybe that's a US thing since the person above has the 10th of August.

The game isnt real. It doesnt exist and is just an in-joke of us Neogaf Gold members.

Sean said ages ago that they wouldn't be having an open beta, which I an understand as things would get spoiled. I'm sure they've had enough friends and family test the game over, and over, and over.
August 9th can't come quickly enough, though I ordered from GAME so I don't expect it to arrive on time.

I disagree. I love seeing this game and will accept any opportunity to see more.
Plus, I think a lot of people were hoping for a VR announcement.
Looks like you didn't even try.
There's not even anything to figure out.
Look like two pages back. Loads and loads of dicsussion and clarification on it. Do some reading, it's the only way to find out. Trailers can't/won't tell you.

I'm being facetious. Although I am glad they spared us another "let's land here and look around the cockpit" moment @ E3. Just release the game already.

I wouldn't have minded a quick one and a half minute trailer or some along those lines. Just a bit of a teaser to remind us it's coming. I would have loved a demo or some sort to drop. I understand why they wouldn't do that but they could have released the star system that has Balari 5 in it and we could have messed around with that. Chances are none of us will find it in normal play anyways.

They arent going to release anything before the actual release date. No demo, no beta, nothing. They have no reason to do that and i think it might actually be a bad move. The real impact of the game is gone if you only get a single solar system.

Hoping to see the word "gold" associated with NMS within the next 3-4 weeks.
Then all Sony and HG need to do is a nice marketing blow out the 2 weeks before release, and finally... August 9th comes around
Yeah, I was waiting for that around the time the Delay was leaked. I don't think I'll allow my hopes up until the Gold announcement.

Oh have the terms finally been changed to announce things like this to GAF Gold members first? About time

Lol. Internet sarcasm fail again.
Uh, the idea is that you have fun in the game from hours and hours of long-form adventure and discovery. You can't capture that in a four-minute trailer.
Game might be shit in the end, but think laterally and it's clear how it could be fun.

I know. The impatient gamer in me just wants to get my hands on it. But the sensible gamer in me isn't bothered by the delay. I'm as excited for this game now as I was when I saw the first reveal.

No Windows 10, just because it's 3.30am doesn't mean you can update. SOME OF US ARE DEBUGGING

Is there any word on whether or no we will get reviews before release?
