There's supposed to be some stuff you can do in the universe that'll be visible to other players, right? Do we know whether PC and PS4 share a universe or if they're separate?
No, just naming stuff.
Separate.
Separate universes kiiiiiinda defeats the entire purpose?
Not really? It just means that the PC and PS4 players are sandboxed from each other. Dunno why given that the universe should be big enough to support all players, but it's not some huge deal.
Maybe there will be a DLC event down the line where the two universes collide. It'll be like a Marvel summer event!
If it's so huge that it's not humanly possible to see it all before the sun collapses, I want everyone to be able to contribute as much as possible to the discovery
Splitting it in half slows that process tremendously
If it's that huge it doesn't matter if its split or not to me. I really could not care less if anyone else ever sees anything I do in the game.
Plus making the platforms work nice together is, from what I understand, a pretty huge complex endeavor. I think only FF14 has ever bothered to do it.
Rocket League has has Steam/PS4 players in the same games since launch, and has l mentioned that they have figured out how to include xBox One players in that mix if all companies involved approve.

I'm hoping to actually do a kind of little Youtube diary for this game. Like a few minutes of footage for each planet I make my way to over the course of however long I end up playing it.
It's kind of ambitious, since I don't have a ton of time to do stuff like that, but it sounds fun. When Animal Crossing first came out, I actually kept a little journal for the first few months that laid out what I had done each day.
I'll be getting on PS4. Already preordered digitally. My PC has decided that it just doesn't want to run games anymore. My fan turns into a jet engine no matter what game gets played. My video card is a basically new 970 so it's not that. I think I need either a new CPU or a new cooling system or both, and I am categorically uninterested in dumping yet more money into my computer.

Oh man I would love for someone to become an in-universe travel agent
It's been a surprisingly tough choice but I'm going PS4 + big screen. The comfort and convenience of the couch won over the intimacy and probable graphic superiority of PC, and frankly on that last point my vision is getting markedly worse with age so it's not a big a factor as it once was. Ideally some sort of cloud save between the two would be awesome
i've been listening to 65daysofstatic since about 2005. their album one time for all time is my favorite work of music, i've listened to it literally hundreds of times and i swear for the first hundred i would notice something new lurking in a corner of one track or another every single time. they've wandered around stylistically and i had assumed that given the nature of NMS it was gonna be more of a focus on droney ambient stuff but supermoon up there makes me hopeful we'll get some of their math-rock and noise side too. there's a CE if you like vinyl
i hope this gets them some wider recognition. i've gotten to see them live one time with like a hundred other people at rock & roll hotel and seeing them in that sort of intimate space was incredible, but they deserve to be performing at bigger venues than that.
I hadn't heard of them before NMS, but I will say I'm super excited to get a listen to their soundtrack. I will say I've not got on with everything of theirs I've listened to, but Debutante and Heat Death Infinity Splitter are two remarkable pieces of music, so I can't wait to see what they've got here.
I just have no idea what a review is for this game. Lots of people have had their hands on controls for preview events, and there hasn't been anything that I've read that indicated that the controls were really weird or uncomfortable or anything like that.
Experiences are going to be so wild and varied that I don't know how score applies. Some people will explore three planets, some will explore only one, some will just fly around in space, and none of them will scratch the surface of anything the game has to offer. Honestly, a bug report seems like the most practical information anyone can put out there, but that's pretty much what I look for in any review, so maybe I'm not the best person to say.
I really hope this game is a good version of a survival game for those of you who like the genre. It is super pretty, the concept is strong, and I like when indie studios succeed.
If nothing else I hope this game really shows off the potential of procedural generation. It has a fairly bad reputation in games overall (outside of graphics-lite roguelikes), but it could do so much for games given the continuing escalation of development costs due to high-detail assets and the like.

The wikipedia article on the superformula says "But the patent have been withdrawn in 2006 because the patent fees not being paid", in which case it seems like it wouldn't be an issue for Hello Games.

Nah, you can't cover the whole game.
Yours might not...
insanity
That's like, the only thing about it that worked out of the box
Dammit...
Finding discovered planets will still be neat regardless
And if they're split, it'll just make it that much more special
That said I'm probably still going to make at least one planet nothing but Power Rangers references.

At this point, I don't think it even needs to be posted. Everyone just mentally fills it in.
Watch it every time

i hope the patent thing is resolved quickly and amicably..
Dutch and Danish are not the same thing!
