Remember: no preorder. No matter how good No Man's Sky turned out eventually, this will only be their second game of the open-world survival genre and it might need to go through the same engoodening. I just hope Sean leaves the PR to people who can do PR.

Definitely interested. Hello Games may have stumbled on the NMS launch, but they've more than proven themselves since then!

No pressure.

Open world survival game with crafting mechanics. But the world is bigger or something and procedural generation.

Yawn.

Really excited for this! Hope they learned their lesson this time and aren’t gonna over promise.

Even though it looks really polished already considering it’s all in game footage, I hope they’ll give it a few more years before it comes out.

What is the goal in this game? Watching the trailer just shows people running around different areas on foot or on creatures. Is this another “explore” game like No Mans Sky, or is there a mystery to solve, or is it an FPS?

I was curious if they'd be working with a publisher or going indie this time. The article didn't say. So I went straight to their website and their newsfeed hasn't been updated in like a year.

So I think it's safe to say they haven't gotten much better at PR 😂

This looks amazing. I love space, but fantasy is much more up my alley. I keep hearing how amazing NMS is, so I just hope they learned their lessons

hello games famously never overpromises on their games before release

So...what do you do in this game? We've seen movement and very basic NPC interactions. Building entire or part of buildings automatically. But that's it. They mostly just showed off pretty, but almost entirely empty landscapes.

They are also doubling down on procedural generation. I hope they learned from NMS that procedural generation can be useful but only if there are interesting things to do that get generated. If you generated the same set of boring landmasses, there's no point. I saw nothing in this trailer remotely new.

Also their trailer's text was hot garbage. "A fantasy earth". No shit, really? No one would have got that from the fucking dragons.

This look great! When come out? Cannot wait.

For me, they STILL haven’t fixed the most important issue with No Mans Sky, which is actually occupying the planets with interesting POIs instead of copy and pasting the same damn thing or just having nothing at all. Hence why I get so fucking bored 15 hours in. Plus the lack of any biomes, just a single biome across every freaking planet with the same fauna and flora so you know exactly what to expect.

So I’m curious to see how they tackle those issues beforehand. Regardless, PR has never been their strongsuit so I’ll be sticking far away from them for the time being. We’ll see how this goes.

I'm a bit surprised they haven't joined forces with Peter Molyneux. They clearly need someone with a bit more experience at the PR side of things so they don't over-promise!

It releases tomorrow and won't be playable for 5 years
