E3 2015: No Man’s Sky Shows off PS4 Gameplay

No Man’s Sky is a bit of a dream come true for me, since it will give players all the freedom of other space exploration games, plus the freedom of some insane procedural generation, plus the bonus of possibly never meeting another human player, because the game’s universe is just that big.

Sony gave Hello Games three minutes to demo No Man’s Sky , and so the gameplay shot through as much as it could in that time. In those short few minutes, we saw what it was like to get into a ship, fly out into a battle between two warring NPC factions, and head from orbit down onto a planet. Despite what Hello Games Co-founder Sean Murray said about the relatively quiet random planet the demo brought us to, it actually seemed quite lively, especially as several robots tried to kill Murray.

In addition, we learned that planets are entirely destructible, which raises the question of whether or not a planet can literally be destroyed. Presumably, it can’t be destroyed with the small, destructive pistol that was shown in the demo, but with a big enough ship…

As far as actual, proper news is concerned, Hello Games announced that No Man’s Sky would be launching on the PCas well as the PS4, and that they will be announcing the release date sometime in the near future.

As always, you can find out more about the game from its website, and you can express your impatience to the devs via the Hello Games Twitter,or through our own comments below.
