Wasn't this game created by a four man team that has xpanded to 14 as it got more popular? I was under the impression it was a very small Studio. Doesn't mean it won't be good but bugs and subpar graphics wouldn't shock me.

This 2010 article says they expanded from four to eight following the development of Joe Danger and then towards a "new project" - presumably No Man's Sky.Quote:

I'm still taking a wait and see approach. I'm still working through Fallout 4, still have yet to even fire up Dying Light and Just Cause 3, and with the slew of games coming out over the next 5 months, I'm waiting to see firsthand reviews on here and other sites before I decide whether or not to get it.

Just a thought...
I wonder if the reason (among others listed) that this guy got through the game so quickly is that there are virtually no other players right now.
It could be that, when you have hundreds of thousands of users, you may come to a planet every now and then that has had alot of resources mined from it. Even if they are renewable, that could create some challenge in and of itself.
That said, I'm in the "wait and see" boat too. I want this game to be good but I'm still very skeptical.
According to the developer chances of finding another player is slim to none. Even if you are on the same planet as another person, the planets sizes are as big as real life planets.Quote:

I understand that.
But what if you are not the first person to go to a particular planet and many of the resources have been moved already?
From my understanding (I'd have to try to find the article again), the planets are not "Earth-sized". They're much, much smaller. Maybe I'm wrong about that though.
According to the article they say they are the size of real planets. They also mention that anything you do to a planet, digging materials, killing animals, destroying things only affects your local save. So what you have mined, will be available to others. The only thing people will see in regards to other players interactions are if you are the first person to discover (planet or creature) and name it. People will see that you were the one who discovered it.Quote:

I think the game will be a lot less realistic and more geared for gamers from what I saw and that is smart imo. Some guys were whining on OS that there weren't enough barren planets. They wanted 98% to be barren for realism. I would have quit that game in a second if it was like that.
From the article that I posted above:Quote:

Don't expect to find life on every planet, or even most of them, though: Hello Games has confirmed that there'll be simple life (plants, maybe small animals) on about 10 percent of the planets. Complex life will show up less frequently, on about 1 percent of the planets. But very complex life--civilizations, perhaps--will only appear on roughly 1 in 100 million planets.
Yeah, that makes more sense although civilizations would be cooler if more popular. 1 in 100 million? There is a chance nobody finds one!
Scary thought... I can only imagine the types of the things Ram will do on his planets...Quote:

Some interesting thoughts...
I think those concerns are valid. Knowing the one guy reached the center of the universe in 30 hours doesn't bother me though. 30+ hours for a game is quite a bit anyways. My kids better like it!
All they have to do is nerf some of the store items and it will take MUCH longer to do so.Quote:
