Hello Games previously worked on Joe Danger, but their new title, No Man’s Sky, looks like something on a much bigger scale. It features procedural environments and seems like a huge game, in which you can explore planets.
As you can see in the trailer above, you can explore these worlds by foot, by swimming, or even by flying into space. It’s all about exploration, and the environments are huge, so you can explore mountains miles away or visit entire other solar systems.
It looks quite incredible and also features combat, either in the ships or on foot. Whether it’s always online wasn’t answered, though the Universe is said to be shared.
For a game developed by the four people at Hello Games, this is incredibly ambitious.

looks great, if that is created by just four people then wow.
i’d really like to know more about what you do on the planets, because the video doesn’t really show much of that.
can you interact with or alter the landscape?
there was the bit where they showed the ship shooting a hole through the asteroid, so it may be possible.
can you build anything? be they weapons or tools or even buildings?
oh and Sony need to get somebody on to this one right now to get it for the Playstation, 3 or 4, or both.

Looks fantastic – think it could be a great fit on Vita as well (if they can do it) explore on your PS4 and then carry on during your journey to work :)

Looks every single one of my favorite cliche’s rolled together. A good thing btw.
So the worlds are all procedurally generated then? Good tactic!
