Cool, love the Redwall-esque setting. I hope they get their marketing right this time and don’t overpromise.

I noticed even Keighley was picking his words as if to remind people to not start expecting a lot.

I don’t think Sean makes as many public appearances anymore, so probably safe. But who knows what he will do.

Blimey, one look at the sodding harefolk and Redwall was all I could think about, too. Wot!

I love how every single source emphasizes it’s “single-planet”, just because it’s by Hello Games.

Cause fantasy games with dragons are famously known to all contain interstellar travel.

I mean, we have Pathfinder which spans over an entire Star system and even beyond but still is a fantasy roleplaying game. (Same with Dungeons and Dragons)

They probably specified to emphasize that despite NMS being interstellar, this one isn’t. Since they’re known for the former, that reputation comes with the baggage of expecting a similar experience.

I think the emphasis on the “planet” is that in their usual over-ambition, Hello Games announced that they’ll be simulating a full-scale planet. It then got through the media’s broken telephone.

Well, Ultima did, so it is technically an early feature of the genre.

As an aside, I would love to see the concept of “high fantasy space opera” get more love.

In general, fantasy isn’t my favorite setting, but this looks pretty cool and will definitely be keeping my eye on it. I’m curious if it’ll keep NMS’s general minimalist story structure or do something more akin to GTA with set built story elements/missions, and then a sandbox to explore in between

This really felt like the NMS engine rethemed. As much as I love NMS I hope this game has more story/direction.

Lots of similarities. I also think it’s the same engine. I wonder how the combat will be as well

100%. More Subnautica-style linear progression, much much less live-service-style chaos.

I will be surprised if the DLC isn’t paid this time around.

I really hope the flying mechanics are more fluid than NMS but they look similarly hokey.

The little news I’ve seen seems to tag this as a sandbox game, and considering the scale I wouldn’t hold my breath…

I don’t think it will. It looks like a mix of Rust and RuneScape
