Reach out and touch space.

<span class="bold">No Man's Sky</span> a science-fiction game set in an infinite procedurally generated galaxy, is available to pre-order now — DRM-free on GOG.com





Intergalactic travel changes the notion of time. Unimaginable speeds connect impossibly distant worlds, dilating lifetimes, blending generations. A round-trip may find your world aged and unrecognizable, separated from your loved ones, irrevocably alien. In an intergalactic society, only the few set off towards the stars — explorers, those unafraid and with nothing to lose. They set off never to come back as far as our lifetimes are concerned. And thus, we still look up at an infinite sky, now within our reach, yet still untouched — a no man's land, a No Man's Sky.


No Man's Sky promises discovery of an infinite, uncharted universe. Its billions of stars, planets, unknown living creatures, breathtaking sights and lonely wastelands — all seamlessly connected — populated with explorers drawn to the distant mysteries of the horizon, eager to leave a permanent mark in their wake.
The frontier is merciless and dangerous. Exposed to a universe of extremities in your fragile suit and ship, you'll need resources and upgrades to get far — as well as the means stand your ground in fight.
Whether you journey to the center of it all or seek out the farthest reaches of existence, the trip will not be simple or dull. You'll catalogue things unseen, discover alien artifacts and reveal mysteries of the universe. If you survive.


The pre-order incentive for No Man's Sky includes the Horizon Omega ship — faster engines, better guns, all to kickstart your trip and help you survive longer on the interstellar journey.





Reach out and touch the <span class="bold">No Man's Sky</span>, available for pre-orders now, DRM-free on GOG.com! The game is scheduled to be released on June 21st in North America, June 22nd in Europe and Australia, and June 24th in the UK and Rest of World.

Crassmaster: So, I walk in to this local sandwich shop a few days back. Sounded like a great place, promising only local ingredients and the like. But then I saw the prices...what are these people thinking?! They're charging MORE than the big chains! So I ask the owner "Hey, are you crazy? You aren't a AAA sandwich company! You can't be charging MORE than Subway and Quizno's, those are the AAA guys! They make big sandwiches, so they can charge more money!" And he turns to me and says "That doesn't make any sense, you're a moron, piss off."

Seriously, this is how idiotic it sounds when anyone declares that an indie developer has to charge less because they're indie.
it ain't that local sandwich shop dude's fault that we done made society cost prohibitive through globalization and the allowance of massive multinational conglomerates combined with inflation.

"Seriously, this is how idiotic it sounds when anyone declares that an indie developer has to charge less because they're indie."

o. that bit. hey you know something you can do today? ignore me. that's something you can do today.

double edit: and after watching that Jimquisition, I'm surprised how little information there still is about his game. I hope this isn't a hype play. the AAA shpiel doesn't need more launch quality/trust scandals.

and indies don't need to lose their golden charm. greenlight hasn't done that yet. but if this larger indie game ends up being cynically misleading or sub-par, it'll cause a hit to actual larger independent and good developers like Larian, Paradox (still?), ineXile, Supergiant and so on.

Have you noticed it's impossible to report him as Spam? Try it.
It will go through but if you leave the thread and come back it will make like it never happened.

amok: What I think is a bit stupid is that people do not think about what the terms mean.... why can an indie not produce an AAA game? What exactly does these two terms mean, and are they exclusive?

In my opinion, there is nothing stopping an indie company from producing an AAA title. Same as someone like UBI can make a game which is not AAA. But then I think I have tried to get some understanding of what they mean before using them. I might be wrong, but still...

I have never in my life heard anyone say "AAA" aloud as anything other than "triple-A". :D

Wow, didn't expect this. On a side note I would surely bought more games from GOG if not for our miserable currency rate.

Wishbone: Jim Sterling agrees with you.
I`m curious. On this he states 40 hours of gameplay later he states 40-100 hours).
Well, if there are "18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets" that can be explored, won`t most (hell, almost all) be pointless?
Unless of course it is all there for placing random folks in that area..

With any luck, it will have an eternal sandbox like Stalker does once modded.

Well if this title lives up to what is promised and single player works well off line I will get this one. But I have been burnt too many times to risk pre purchase of such a title.

Hope it works well on release.

I suppose, given the nature of the game, that the one other game it's most obvious to compare it to is Spore. Since that game amply demonstrated that endless variety in landscape and wildlife in no way automatically translates to endless variety in gameplay, it's only natural to be wary. Generally, I'm against preordering digital games, but No Man's Sky in particular seems like a game one should definitely refrain from preordering. There is too little information about it. It could be great, no doubt about it, but it could also be like Spore, a fantastically impressive tech demo, that nevertheless fails miserably in the gameplay department.
