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

No only that but I thought the races have different classes within them i.e. scientist, trader, etc.. so it could also stand to reason that not only do some look different for variety's sake, but that different suit sets also denote different class/function?

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

I'm guessing not? Especially if everyone (on their platform) is sharing the same galaxy; having everyone start playing on the same day, press included, gives the exploration more of a communal feel I'd imagine. If you're waiting on reviews though before jumping in, this is the perfect game to do that with. You'll still be discovering things at the onset that none of us will ever see.

Still trying to figure out what you do in this game!

I'm trying to figure out if you are taking the piss. I'm sure if you figure yours out, I'll figure mine out.

I hope they have more variation than just humanoid in space suit. Like arms, maybe some vaguely insectoid, glowing mass of energy, gas filled, etc.

Some previews a while back mentioned a bird-like NPC race, so I'm going to say yes.

I'm genuinely glad that Sony did not haul them out for another E3. I'm really excited for the game but I got the feeling the last few times that Sean didn't want to be there likely because they are working hard enough just trying to finish the game.

Can't wait for August.

Is the PC release the same day as PS4 or does the PS4 get it first?

Steam currently has it listed as "12th August" so that would be 3 days later than PS4. It currently hasn't been confirmed one way or the other (to my knowledge) so I would assume this is an error on Valves part and it will be the same day. Well, I hope so anyway, no reason to delay it on PC for PS4 - and I say this as someone who will be playing on PS4.

Make sure you save your work often!

Game will be sooooooooooooo good. Can't wait.

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

Oh yeah, if you PM me with this weeks proof of membership code, I'll forward you the email notification.

Yay! We finally settled with Sky (they own the word "Sky"). We can call our game No Man's Sky. 3 years of secret stupid legal nonsense over


https://twitter.com/NoMansSky/status/743956071337828352

This is the same folks who made Microsoft change Skydrive to Onedrive... so it was pretty serious


https://twitter.com/NoMansSky/status/743956684599615488

On the plus side perhaps this is the real reason Skynet never happened...

Owning the word Sky is so stupid.

Previously unseen footage, possibly?

The wicked storm on that first planet in the first video is really cool.

 

[E92 M3]

^ Storm looks great - never saw that before.


We would have had the game this week

 

[Fushichou187]

Really liked the asymmetrical look to that ship they flew by in that second video, and even thought the shot this video on a potato, the colorfulness of NMS still shines through. Man I can't wait for August.

 

[Octavianus]

Owning the word Sky is so stupid.

Being able to own any word is stupid to be honest.

I own the word "Octavianus." Expect to see a summons soon.

They really can't catch a brake can they, assume the review code must be going out soonish based on the size of the game, i am so looking forward to this!

Even though it was short it looked fantastic.

Every time I see a post in here I fear there's been another delay. Here's hoping there's not!

Oooo Shaun, you tinker.

Elite Dangerous plus The Long Dark.

 

[Carn82]

I wonder if/when PS4 Neo launches we might see a patch improving some stuff like draw distance. I remember Sean saying/writing that their tech is pretty scalable in that regard.

Here ya go.

That requires reading.

In short, trade, fight, explore, in galaxies with a loose objective to get towards the center.

If you need quest givers and an overarching motivation like finding a water chip, closing oblivion gates, or searching for your kinda-daughter, it may not be the right sandbox for you.

I would buy Call of Duty tbh.
