"No Man's Sky" still does not have a definite release date however fans and critics are already giving their positive review. Hello Games is now under pressure for the good feedback that they are receiving in their upcoming game.
While some have a very tiny glimpse of the game, some others have had a chance to see the game in the making. The New Yorker's Raffi Khatchadourian stated that the game is very much like a "visual poetry."
And while the game is still on development, it will be receiving full support from Sony for integration with PlayStation consoles ahead of the coming release date, as confirmed by PlayStation Managing Director Fergal Gara.
"We have been working very closely with the [No Man's Sky] developers and bringing it into our release program as if we had made it," Gara stated. "We are not going to treat it any differently and we are going to put the full weight of PlayStation behind it."
Adding: "If it all comes together as well as expected, it will be treated like a first-party release. It is not self-published small indie title on the platform."
The game has been awarded Best Independent Game by game critics at E3 last year. And while we are waiting for the following E3 this year, we shall expect more from Hello games.
There is a very wide variety of actions players can do while in the game. As the gameplay trailers shows it, there shall be planets with unique habitats and organisms. And players can stroll anywhere, run on ground, or hop on a space ship to fly off to another world. As others puts it, it's a game so expansive and protracted the game will have the same fan number with Minecraft.
Since the game is all about exploration, combat is out of the focus, though it's still there. Lead designer Sean Murray said "we didn't want you to break your legs and get hurt. It is about exploring. We didn't want people feeling nervous."
However, while fans are can't undeniably wait for its release, Murray admitted of being highly pressurized and would probably compromise the game. Murray said, "The biggest worry for me is that we release the game because of all the momentum behind it before we are happy with it."
We still have to wait until June 14 in E3 to see when will the release be (hopefully this year) and what the game will actually look like.
