Here's the Polygon article with GameTrailers working video: http://www.polygon.com/2013/12/7/5186774/exploration-sim-no-mans-sky-coming-from-hello-games
Looks cool. I like the art style more than I like the infiniteness
I quite liked the look of it from the trailer.
And apparently only made by 4 people?!
man, that scares me...ever since i managed to tear myself away from eve online a few years back im scared to play stuff like this...cant affort the time i should be spending on making art instead :0

also i was reading it would be like spore in that it would be singleplayer but with multiplayer effects on the world , so no coop possibly

Looks and sounds mind blowing!
I've been playing the starbound beta lately which focuses on similar aspects: exploring procedural generated planets.
What I don't understand from the video is: How are they going to crreate such unique encounters like the giant snake in a fully procedural world? Of course this is likely to be a predefined boss. But nevertheless I feel that games that base theier core mechanics arround heavily procedural generated content tend to have easy recognizable patterns. For example encounters, enemy behaviour and what not. When you are spending a few hours into those world you can explore great places and stuff but soon enough it might start to feel random. At a creatin point one might get the feeling to not explore worlds but a generated randomness that looks good on the outside but may easily fall apart when you really try to immerse yourself into that world.
However the game looks awesome form the art style and really is promising. I hope they can keep it visually very diverse while not sacrificing their colorfull look.
procedural SPACE exploration game? Amazing visuals (not to mention those colors!), fully procedural, entire freakin SPACE with no loading or any artificial barrier separating planets from space, dune worm in sandy planets.....omg i want this game like, now! :P
I sure hope it lives up to it's potential. Also, would be awesome if you could explore together with bunch of friends, that's what made minecraft so interesting (for me at least).
Man, this game is THE game i'll be waiting for; sorry witcher 3 & cyberpunk 2077. :P
And just 4 guys are making this? Insane....
I'm pretty sure all creatures are not generated, would be very tricky. But it could be possible like in Spore. They are placed randomly though, they mentioned that while talking about the shark of the trailer.

It's soooo beautiful.
Crackdown and Sunset Overdrive looked WAY more interesting to me...
- Space & planetary exploration
- Procedurally generated
- Stylized visuals, not 'hyper realistic' for once
- Awesome music
It's amazing what a small team can achieve once they free themselves from wanting/having to do realistic graphics...Exploration is a game in itself. I didn't really get it until I tried Minecraft. Knowing no one else is seeing what you're seeing, a completely unique world to explore, is pretty fun. And in this game, it's a whole unique universe to explore. That's pretty sick.
looks like it involves space battles as well, im wondering if that might be a faction system or something.
The gameplay on the other hand, not so sure about that
Can not wait for this.
Crazy stuff.

That's INSANE! This game. I want. SO BAD.
I knew hello games had big things in store after Joe Danger, but i don't think anyone could have predicted this! (that game was way more polished than the idea warranted showing some serious talent!)
wat
please be a joke!
Don't you know only 1 out of 100,000 girls is born with programming skills!
I should have put it as an aside that it's awesome to see a girl doing crazy awesome coding stuff, not that i think it's any harder for a woman to learn how to code just that you don't see it as often, especially on small indie teams.
*shrug*
So yeah just take my compliment and make it out to be sexism...
glad it was a misunderstanding but c'mon, the way it was phrased there was no other way to read it.
More to the point it didn't really need mentioning at all
Do you join a server like DayZ? Do you make your own world/server like Terraria?
That said looks fully awesome might have to get a ps4 for this
