This flop of a game got pushed back again. Pretty much killing any buzz it had left at this point.
Prob stressing the polish of this game since fot whatever reason they are marketing an indie game as an AAA title

Actually looks pretty good still but I'll prob wait until it is like 40 bucks. Mainly for two reasons, it is an indie studio with a limited amount of devs. And aside from exploration they havent shown much of the combat engine and if it isnt really good im sure the replayability won't be anywhere near what it is boasted to be.
replayability? You just play, there isn't a single player campaign or anything. Just explore, mine, craft/trade/upgrade, and perhaps go towards the center of the universe to see what's that about.
There a bunch of videos regarding the combat. I think combat just depends on what kind of player you are. Apparently things get more hectic towards the center of the universe compared to the outer edges.
There are larger battles too, it's said you wouldn't usually want to engage by yourself but you can join fleets mostly NPCs and have wingman on your side and whatnot.

The way I break it down is if you loved this game as a kid:
Then No Man's Sky is for you. If you didn't like Starflight, pass on this.

I've played indie games with a limited amount of devs that shit on AAA titles. Helldivers, Bastion, Transistor, Dust: An Elysian Tail (you would swear this game was made by at least 30 people but one guy made it) and a couple of others.
Now will this game likely be shit? Seems that way to me, but it's SP only so I'll give it a look.

This is some information I found cool that kinda expands on the lore and the "story" of the game and what that means exactly:
I thought that was really cool. When the first teasers were released years ago, I was worried there wouldn't be advanced alien races/species, which was the coolest part about Starflight, so it was great to hear that wasn't the case.
As you travel around the universe you’ll encounter individuals from several distinct races. As with everything else in the game, how they look and what they say is procedurally generated based on a set of variables defined by the Hello Games team.
You’ll be able to trade with them, gain upgrades, learn more about the game’s lore, forge alliances and so forth.
Hello Games has devised a number of distinct alien languages which, at the game’s outset, you will not be able to understand. However, as you explore the universe, discover relics and talk to new NPCs, you’ll slowly start picking up their dialects.
If you make the effort to learn the language of a particular race and interact with them regularly, your standing with them will increase. If you’re tight with a particular race, they’ll duly give you preferential treatment – cheaper prices perhaps, or better equipment. Indeed, if you want to buy a better ship that might allow you to travel to more distant star systems, you’ll need to cosy up with these factions.
Conversely, just as it would in real life, saying the wrong thing in a dialogue tree will likely result in your standing to decrease, or in the trader ripping you off, or in you losing a useful item simply out of confusion. Worse still, it might even end up in your new-found attacking you.
As has been hinted at in previous trailers, there are a number of ways to play No Man’s Sky. You can focus on exploration, on fighting, survival or on trading, and the NPC system feeds directly into this overarching framework.
“The nice thing about it is that the NPCs are divided up into different races. So one race is perhaps more focussed on exploration and science, and knowing that helps you decide how to best interact with them,” says Sean.
“If you’re playing the game for exploration’s sake, you might want to focus on that race. But if you’re playing the game and all you want to do is kill things, there are more military-based races, so you might want to try and become friends with them.”

Dude had a leaked copy & sold it on ebay for $2,000. He streamed about 40 minutes of gameplay and it looks awesome to me. The guy said he didn't think there would be a lot of spoilers but said there was a bunch of "fuck yeah!" moments that spoils the games and he purposely didn't upload these clips to respect the game developers or whatever, wants players to find out for themselves. Essentially he's saying there's a lot to this game that the developers have purposely kept a secret to surprise us. I'm sure there will tons of upcoming leaks as the days go on but I'm excited from what I've seen.
Here's the guy's post on reddit:
