And hearing about people trying to get refunds for the game because it "isn't what the original trailer showed" and all this other stuff, I went back and watched said trailer.
I think it's a pretty clear representation of what the final game was... CONSIDERING that it was a fucking WORK IN PROGRESS when the trailer was made.
What in that trailer didn't make it to the final game? A gigantic crashed ship with a bunch of sentinels looking at it? Some gigantic worms? Getting "discovery" for finding a "named" ocean?
So what? This trailer was made early in the development.
I think it's an astounding accomplishment of a game for ANY developer, much less a small (at the start) indie team.
Ever since playing Acclaim's "Star Voyager" on the NES in the 80's I've been fascinated with the basic concept of that game and honestly NMS is the perfect game for scratching that itch of wanting to land on planets just to see what was there.
This isn't a perfect game, none are... and this isn't the last game I'll ever need, but I think it's amazing and I play it more than anything else at this point.
Thank you HELLO GAMES for your efforts and I hope the entitled internet hasn't deterred you from planning a sequel to this game.
