Game Informer senior editor Jeff Cork quizzes founder of Hello Games Sean Murray on exactly what No Man's Sky is and what players can do and can't do in the final game.
+Christian Froude it would only work with this guy other game devs are douches not telling u anything becuase there afraid it will effect sales but this guys honest
+Rahul Garg The best part is, AI and NPCs are a big thing. They may not look like it, but they are. If they could make them in an actual complex way in a year or less, then I am very optimist when I look to the future of Hello Games and No Man's Sky's updates.
"Can you teleport back to your ship?" "No" *Parks ship on planet and gets out to have a walk* *Spends days exploring the planet* "I finally got all the resources I need for that hyperquantic pseudocubic bioaggregator! Now I just need to get back to my sh--- OH FUCK"
bennemann You probably have at least a tracker that will mark where you left your ship.. But come to think of it.. could be interesting immersive being stranded on a planet wait for someone to come and help you.. .Imagine if your ship could break down and you emergency land on the nearby planet then you need to send out a distress signal so other player can come to help you and bring parts for you to fix your ship... for a price of course.
bennemann I think that you would just mind the stuff around your ship then travel to like another runway type thing so you wont be incredibly far from your ship unless you want to be.
Oh, well, if there were a multiplayer you could be able to see and be seen by other players. Oh, but there's no multiplayer. Oh, wait, you cannot customize your character either. Don't worry, they'll fix it with a DLC. Oh, he said there'll be no DLCs...
Q: Why is it called No Man's Sky? A: It's set in a dystopian future in which radical feminists rose to power and banned all males from any form of air or space travel.
I can't disable replies, so either take this argument somewhere else or stop replying entirely. I don't want to delete this comment, but I will if I have to.
LukeDude759 Fun fact: You can actually delete comments on your own comment strand by flagging them. Just get rid of his stupid boob fondling comment and literally all the rest of the comments about that comment and the world will be at peace again.
***** Samuel Lacey You know what, let's just delete this conversation, pretend it never happened, and we can start over and just be friends and we'll all live happily ever after. Or something like that.
Funny thing is, at least one year of development of this year was delayed due to a flood, so a tsunami in this game would be ironic LOL But i would love to see natural disasters. I think that asteroids are confirmed, so why not?
No Man’s Sky’s universe is infinite. You can only have one ship. You can’t customize your ship - but you can find one that you like. Earth is not in the game, but there may be something Earth-like. You can play the game with your friends (although Murray’s previously said not to think of it as a multiplayer game). You can take pictures. You can swim underwater. You can chop down a tree. You can choose to be a pacifist (although that doesn’t mean you won’t get attacked). Some planets are the size of Earth. You might visit a “dud” planet. You’ll have a health bar. You can land on asteroids. The game features black holes. You’ll sometimes get bored playing it. There’s no downloadable content. You can’t select the gender of your character. Not all planets can sustain life. You can’t collect plants. You can’t build a shelter. You can’t teleport to your ship. You can’t build a space station. There is a shop. There are no non-player characters. You can’t terraform a planet. You can’t destroy a planet. You’ll get many objective markers. There’s no noticeable gravity difference between planets - your suit compensates. You can’t reach the edge of the universe. “You can go into the darkness for as long as you want.” You can’t ride a dinosaur.
Steven Travers ok I thought station means it is "stationary" ~ like in "railway station". So basically it's a big big big ship... I see. That could cost a lot :)
Hermetika Prime That is when music was real and not fake mindless hip hop autotuned bullshit like we have now. You clearly have shit taste in music and don't know what real music is.
Ah yes here we have the perfect example of two high levels of retardation on each end of the spectrum. We have Subject 1. telling xy they have horrible taste in music because they're quoting lyrics of a FUCKING FLEETWOOD MAC SONG, then subject 2. comes along and defends that (rightly so) but also calls hip-hop mindless autotuned garbage. Gen X and Boomer stereotypes
Can you play with your friends? "Yes" *kappa* Is there a competitive element? "Yes" *kappa* Can you grief? "If you want that" *kappa* The game is fucking fun as hell, but I don't like how right now people are confirming you can't see other players at all
yeah,all these people going in on sean on reddit arent giving him a chance, if you look on his twitter it looks like theyre having server issues. and its only the first few days, they might have turned that feautre off because they didnt expect people to find each other that quickly
Cloud ffvii PKP completely agree, hes so anti social and fear stricken by media and people, very insecure. But hes actually a pretty witty intelligent and enjoyable person in these interviews.
Rest assured, they are hiding a good 90% of what the game is really like to play from us. Which I believe is a good thing. There actually used to be a time where games would release without every single detail about it being excruciatingly leaked, reviewed, debated, and known beforehand. Where people had to actually figure it out for themselves. I know, blasphemy right?
Agreed. It's refreshing to have a game company actually release a full game and not nickel and dime us for "content" that they purposely removed. *cough* Destiny *cough*
Well considering it's all procedurally generated, if the game did have new content it would be additional audio and art assets in new algorithms, which can't be explained in 30 seconds to the average gamer.
"Will there be DLC?" "No." That's the final confirmation I needed. Goodbye, greedy game monoliths, hello Hello Games! It's nice to see a transparent developer now and again. He literally gave so many negatives about his game, and openly admitted them! Yet, I think it's because of this admittance that people will still push themselves to buy it. Because this is a developer they can trust.
+westonman211 Hey, np :) +Emma Anderson What would they even add as DLC? New places? No, it's procedural. Costumes? No, you can't see yourself. Upgrades? That ruins the in-game economy and is too microtransaction-y. See, there's not much DLC stuff to add.
+chiffmonkey I love how we have to ask that question like a small child that's been beaten over the head with DLC his entire life xD it's really sad actually.
+Nyxato Not really, if a game is released in a great state at launch then there is absolutely no reason why any post-release content is expected to be free. Hence the existence of expansion packs and subscription models.
For anyone that doesn't know, in this game, you will: collect resources upgrade your suit and ship go to space stations buy stuff hire A.I. mercenaries become a merchant fight pirates become a pirate interact with stuff use your multitool (which is a device that can do multiple things depending on the attachments you put on it, like shooting and collecting resources. It was shown in the original trailer as a rectangular orange gun shooting a laser I believe) etc. There is more to the game, but not all of the info has been released of course.
***** That's what I'm talking about. I remember back in September or something, when I heard that you can stick with one ship that you can upgrade and that the idea is that you become attached to that ship overtime. Seems like that's no longer the case at least in the beginning of the game.
For those who aren't sure about the game: Think of this: You fly into a planet and explore a bit. Suddenly you find yourself getting chased after some large animal from the planet and you're running for your life trying to escape. Suddenly you encounter some large cave that you explore. Down there is an entire light show of organisms and creatures. You eventually find your way out and get to your ship. You leave the planet and head on to the next adventure.
Adam Green kajo van der meer Yeah the main one I picked up on was when he said no NPC's, but recent footage has shown a fully integrated and highly populated worldspace
1:35 "You can see other characters, and they can see you" - Sean Murray. LIES! Day 1 has players not being able to see each other. 2 players were in the exact same place at the same time on their twitch streams. Sean Murray and Hello Games MUST answer this controversy immediately.
Sean Murray has spoken on it. he was very surprised at how quickly people found each other and says that the server issues might have been the reason they couldn't see one another. so basically some type of glitch in the game. he said they are looking into it.
Notice how majority of the things he said yes to are now true, and most of the things he said no to are now true. He was doing something stupid lying then, But if he was doing this interview again, I think i’d like to see it.
Yea and more than we expected with the ship customization coming, I don't know why he lied so much back then, but in his mind maybe he did plan to have all these features eventually but not on release, which he should have said.
Sean Murray just looks back at this video and checks off all the Yes & Nos he has since made possible in-game. One of the greatest people leading one of the most dedicated teams of all time.
"Will you be bored playing this game?" "Yes, sometimes." This actually compels me even more to buy this game than I was before. Every developer who says "you'll never ever be bored playing our game" is lying and Sean is above that. He doesn't have to say the game is perfect because it will speak for itself.
I also like the prospect of being bored wandering around some empty planet, and then glimpsing some cave and being sucked into 6 hours of gathering,crafting and trading etc.
The forever grind will kinda be the source of boredom but there's a lot to look at and explore in between so the boredom shouldn't linger too long hopefully
I understand technology is not powerful enough to make a game like this be terraformable but for fuck sakes, why didn't he allow us to craft stuff and build bases in the planets and so on.
rockkiller124 You can't deny that being able to build a "house" would be cool. Even if the game is about exploration it would be cool to be able to settle down and build some structures if you wanted to.
***** it's not the purpose. If you want to settle a base on a planet and stay there play planet explorers. NMS wants you to go around and see as many things as you can. It's 18 trillion planets for god sake why would you stop on one
God Even though it may not be the purpose it should be a thing players can choose to do. I do think that making a crafting system and building systems would take more time to develop and may take the focus off of the games goal. Maybe it could be released as DLC or a mod (if they allow PC gamers to mod their game) after the games release.
***** Seeing manmade structures etc and every day life destroyed and the interesting factor of what happens or how things look after an apocalyptic event.
***** Often it's a grim reminder of our deepest instincts and how fragile is our shell of modern pro-humanitarian civilization. While war stories based in history can have a similar appeal and message, I find they quite often loose that appeal and power the further we are from said events. People tend to think what happened in the past stays there and will never affect them. Moving the action into the future creates a looming warning that in an abstract way can't be just shrugged of by pretending we have somehow outgrown it by now. Another thing is it creates a harsh environment for any protagonists to battle through giving the audience the more reasons to root for them. Lastly death is fascinating; The convulsions of a whole dying civilization are extremely fascinating.
I will buy this game just because i Like this Guy personality. He is so honest and has a unique personality among all developers. He acts like a fan not like a sales man
Everyone calls this guy a liar, but you have to understand that the scope of the project, and what they were able to get in on the deadline kept on stretching farther apart during development. Hello Games probably had a lot of this planned but weren't able to meet up with it during development. You can't blame this guy, especially considering he did all of the public appearances appearing in front of thousands of people on cameras and lights.
I totally agree - in the end I think people still harping on him for the past look like the assholes at this point, considering instead of taking the money and running, he ended up implementing most of what he says yes to here and much more as _free updates,_ funding all post-release development with the initial income. At this time they had nearly _2 more years until release,_ and an insane amount of hype fueled by the press. Everything being asked was technically possible to implement in that time, so he didn't want to say no and disappoint everyone, or yes to everything and over-promise. The way he says "...yeah" to multiplayer, for example, totally has the tone of "we should be able to do that" but not the tone you'd take if it was a 100% for sure thing.
so, they said that the game would have a lot of stuff that we just discovered that it didn't have after launch and we shouldn't call them liars for saying those things?
@@AnonyIUW I don't think you understand the definition of the word "liar". Someone can only lie when they know what they are saying isn't true. Hello Games _thought_ that they were going to be able to get all of this into the game. However, development was rushed, and due to the partnership with Sony, they had to release the game by a certain date. That isn't the behavior of a liar, it wasn't an intentional mistruth. Eventually, they got all of that content into the game, so it's clear it was planned ahead.
Miles Wright He's previously confirmed terrain deformation, so we might very well be able to *literally* destroy them. It would probably take forever though.
Killjoy0329 Given that the only data the server would need to update would be the new algorithm for generating the damaged sections, you could destroy every planet you came across for years and never crash it.
CostanzaKramer1 PC and PS4 will play together on the same server so your talking about millions of people in no mans sky. though itll be kinda lonely in a sense since the game is so massive
SchoolKidInTheDMV CostanzaKramer1 Butt Flashing Kenny Sean said today in the IGN video of 18 minutes of gameplay that there will be artificial intelligence so you won't really be "alone"
When you watched this. He did say he doesn't like answering the questions and he's uncomfortable. BUT he said no to things that ARE in the game now. Base building, space stations and massive freighters. And now full Multiplayer. They were slow, but it wasn't much of a lie in the end. I feel it was just rushed. Including for what I believe it an indie company.
"Is life a miracle" - "No"..... Really? “An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going.” - Francis Crick, biochemist and spiritual skeptic, shared the Nobel Prize for discovering the molecular structure of DNA
lol....based on what? we've discovered around 1800 planets so far, all of which are hostile to life, now granted there are plenty more out there but when you say life is plentiful in the universe you're speaking emotionally not scientifically because as of now we seem to be all there is.... to say otherwise is to make a statement based entirely on hope and not reason or science. No matter what side of the table you sit at (I happen to be a theist) you have to agree that considering the insane amount of parameters that need to be met and the amount of time we have (13.8 billion in the universe, 4 or so with earth) well then time wise and mathematically the probability that we are here is nearly ZERO. lol...creating abundant life in a video game doesn't exactly transfer over to reality, if it did then I could say jumping up and smashing bricks will give me a magic flower that grants fire magic.
Joe Danger: ~shrug~ You're taking a lighthearted interview too seriously. When anything abounds around you it's easy to take for granted, especially if you're not looking at it on such a grand scale. How is baby formed? Some creatures reproduce somehow (I say somehow because it's not always as simple as male-female sex) and voila. That's not miraculous, that's predictable, as are the chances of it failing.
We are part of the universe that has gained the ability to think about itself. I dont know if I'd call that a miracle but it's one hell of a beautiful accident.
Gmr Leon Let's also not forget every single detail of existence, from all the physics to how life and planets in general work (it's basically a giant machine). It's pretty miraculous if you look at it.
Q: "Is Arrakis in this game?" A: "No. But there is a very similar desert planet inhabited by giant sandworms. In fact, the novel Dune was one of the inspirations for this game." [NOTE: THIS IS ACTUALLY TRUE.]
It's a question I made up and wasn't in this interview. But the fact that Dune helped inspire this game and that a desert planet inhabited by sand worms is true.
can you exit your ship in space?!?!?!?! that's all I want to know... I wanna float aimless in space and burn up in a planets atmosphere because my character has a terminal illness and wants to go out that way...
+Reezeyy i think the same. either that or there will be a bunch of solar systems in the middle were civilized planets will be. i can already imagine there is gonna be tons of people around there.
yeah, when he said "sort of" i reckon he meant earth before it was taken over by human, maybe we are the humans which take it over my landing on an empty earth! idk just a thought!
+Reezeyy i saw a good comment on a video that says it's just gonna be J.J Abrams holding a giant mirror creating the worlds biggest lens flare. either that or it's just gonna sean sitting on a couch, tapping his watch and saying "what took you so long? i've been waiting here for fucking ages!"
Flippin' Epic Guy He isnt saying that free DLC will be released, but rather he stated that there will be updates coming out, like most other games on the market. Just the occasional updates. Bug fixes, small amounts of new content. things of that nature.
I really hope they add building in the game. Sean said that they might put it in the game if people want it. So hopefully people will ask for it. It would be so cool if you found a nice planet and just build a house on it. don't know why they haven't put it in the game to start with.
"Are there sheep in this game?" "Maybe, not that I have seen." That's what makes the premise of this game so unique, even the developers do not know what exists in the majority of their universe.
That's why he hesitated with the earth question. With over a quintillion planets, it's quite possible that one of those planets is an exact replica of earth. Especially considering the fact that their rules and parameters are most likely based around earths.
@Michael Robertson it's not a lie dude... Seriously the game now is freaking amazing...and now with tomorrow's update it's gonna be awesome! If you don't like exploring... Then is not the right game for you
Man you can almost taste the anguish in Sean's voice. It's like he wants to say as an answer for every question "Listen I'd love for ALL of this to be in the game but it's just not done yet." But the guys with the checkbooks at Sony need him to bullshit for them to keep the hype up because they said they wanted a game and they want the game now.
i love how he keeps poking at how something earth like exists in all his interviews. I can't wait to see if some civilization is out there, or atleast the remnants :)
Will you be able to play with your friends? Yes Will there be NPC characters? No Will there be DLC? No Can you land on comets? Yes Will the game be fun? Yes Will the game be boring? Hesitant No Whats another name for this game? One Mans Lie
Sean seems like such a great person. I'm so proud of hello games and what they are about to achieve. This is probably the only game I will ever play for the rest of my life and the only game I will ever genuinely enjoy! Thank you Sean Murray!!
SnipesMcFinley I want to have a Federation Starship, with an NPC crew, and we go down and cause mass extinction, (right after we take pictures of the sick animals)
I feel like this style of interviews should continue. It's just so simple yet effective and quite hilarious.
+Christian Froude Check our TH-cam features playlist, we also have this style of interview for Quantum Break and Destiny.
Game Informer Thanks!!
+Game Informer I'm so glad there are more of these, this was so funny
+Christian Froude it would only work with this guy other game devs are douches not telling u anything becuase there afraid it will effect sales but this guys honest
+Daywalker777r Yeah I agree, watching other devs go to this process would be like watching Martin Shkreli testifying in congress.
Interviewer:"Will you be able to play with your friends?"
Sean: *looks him straight in the eyes* "Yes."
I came back to this video for that very reason, you most defiantly cannot play with your friends.
+TheyCallMeGerbin well technically you can
+Scotland Ball what do you mean by technically
you cant even see each other's face
Well you can play in the same room
+CyborgMan NHD I mean you can find other players. It's just they realized later on the possibility of finding someone is very slim.
Q: Are you uncomfortable?
A: Yes
Cause he's lying through his teeth
this was years before the release you moron. things change.

I thought crowbcat edited it in until I saw this 🙃
“Is there intelligent life in this game?” - “the players hopefully ”
Now there legitimately are Ai and npcs.
Like Alien races
incredible how there weren't even plans for that back in 2014.
hopefully XD i can already see the planet names
lol best joke ever 2016

The best part is, AI and NPCs are a big thing. They may not look like it, but they are. If they could make them in an actual complex way in a year or less, then I am very optimist when I look to the future of Hello Games and No Man's Sky's updates.

***** I've heard that finding a waypoint marker on the planet will spawn your ship, so it might not be that bad after all :)
Thiago Vidal There is nobody to come help you. Players are so far away you would potentially have to wait months to see another person.
***** It sucks when you can't find your house in MC,
bennemann I think that you would just mind the stuff around your ship then travel to like another runway type thing so you wont be incredibly far from your ship unless you want to be.
They should put Waldo on one of th planets and make the ultimate where's waldo
YESSSS!!!!
+Kerim Djigirkhanov and they should put rare pepes scattered around random planets as well
+Kerim Djigirkhanov An Ultimate mission, to find a Waldo-needle in a Universe-sized haystack? Hell yes... It'd give me a purpose, while I explore.
+Kerim Djigirkhanov The random generation would mean that there is a chance of there being a Waldo species
YES BITCHES
I think Sean converted this into a to-do list.
"you can see players and they can see you" - well so much for that Kappa
Will probably come out eventually in an update so I have plenty of time to wait while exploring and trying to get to the center
so sad some sheeps just wont understand they got ripped off by primitive marketing tactics...

Oh, he said there'll be no DLCs...

No Man’s Sky’s universe is infinite.
You can only have one ship.
You can’t customize your ship - but you can find one that you like.
Earth is not in the game, but there may be something Earth-like.
You can play the game with your friends (although Murray’s previously said not to think of it as a multiplayer game).
You can take pictures.
You can swim underwater.
You can chop down a tree.
You can choose to be a pacifist (although that doesn’t mean you won’t get attacked).
Some planets are the size of Earth.
You might visit a “dud” planet.
You’ll have a health bar.
You can land on asteroids.
The game features black holes.
You’ll sometimes get bored playing it.
There’s no downloadable content.
You can’t select the gender of your character.
Not all planets can sustain life.
You can’t collect plants.
You can’t build a shelter.
You can’t teleport to your ship.
You can’t build a space station.
There is a shop.
There are no non-player characters.
You can’t terraform a planet.
You can’t destroy a planet.
You’ll get many objective markers.
There’s no noticeable gravity difference between planets - your suit compensates.
You can’t reach the edge of the universe. “You can go into the darkness for as long as you want.”
You can’t ride a dinosaur.
I was kind of disappointed with a lot of those last answers you listed :(
You can't *accidentally* destroy a planet. You can intentionally destroy a planet "a little bit."
Noah Fence not those ones xD
McArthur Alford You can't ride a dinosaur though D:
there is "a shop" in the whole universe, well good luck finding it.
A lot of questions he answered with 'no' are now a 'yes'. The game really evolved over the years.
And even more of those he answer 'yes' were 'no' at the release.
Interview guy:Hello Sean!
Sean:Uhhh,sort of,yes

would be funny but I'm sure I've heard him say that there is a naming filter in place. Humans can't be trusted :)
Can you build your own space station?
"Um no..you cant *whispers* but thats a good idea"
Space stations confirmed
I hope they add that when finishing up the game
+Steven Travers They might add it in an update.
+Steven Travers who wants to build a space station and stay trapped in a corner of the universe while it's an exploration game ^_-
Utroll yea but space stations can move
Steven Travers ok I thought station means it is "stationary" ~ like in "railway station". So basically it's a big big big ship... I see. That could cost a lot :)
Holy shit. He actually answers "yes" to "are you uncomfortable?". I thought Crowbcat edited it to make it look like he did.

Sean Murray said 9999 times that this game is so huge...chance of meet someone is tiny. So pls stfu
from what ive heard people have found each other and coordinated meetups, but havent been abel to actually see each other
A1 Meme Dealer possibly due to them being on different servers no doubt
yeah,all these people going in on sean on reddit arent giving him a chance, if you look on his twitter it looks like theyre having server issues. and its only the first few days, they might have turned that feautre off because they didnt expect people to find each other that quickly
***** the one Sean references multiple times... what are you getting at?
There's something incredibly likeable about Sean Murray. No homo.
Cloud ffvii PKP completely agree, hes so anti social and fear stricken by media and people, very insecure. But hes actually a pretty witty intelligent and enjoyable person in these interviews.
He's a real human, who is humble about his creation and doesn't spit lies to sell a game like randy pitchford, or peter molyneox

Not that an IGN review for any game in the last 8 years has any credibility anyway.
Man this guy lies more than Todd Howard.
+Scotland Ball You should.
+Scotland Ball Lol are you kidding me? Watch the E3 videos of Oblivion, He constantly lies.
Scotland Ball You can keep making excuses for the game and the lies. Keep in denial fam.
CJTheLegend What did he lie about during E3 talking about oblivion? I'm jw I'm not disagreeing
No longer relevant
Interviewer: "Will there be DLC?"
Sean: "No"
My mind was fucking blown when he said that...
Agreed. It's refreshing to have a game company actually release a full game and not nickel and dime us for "content" that they purposely removed. *cough* Destiny *cough*
Well considering it's all procedurally generated, if the game did have new content it would be additional audio and art assets in new algorithms, which can't be explained in 30 seconds to the average gamer.
I wish there was dlc. Like if they added the ability to build or something.
Wait,wait hold on.... So there's no DLC? But yet He says there will be land vehicles added in later? That makes no since
Chronas 9.9 It means they will be added for free into the game, have you never played a good online game?
Molyneux would be proud of this guy.
.
lol!
He at least delivered one of the best original games...Dungeon keeper, Black and white, The Movies...
rofl
no
They Should make it so they just keep updating it instead of DLC
+Awesome3250 He said no DLC :)
That's what I meant they just keep updating it instead of dlc
Awesome3250
He said most of the updates would be adding more stuff to do.
That's good
They should make it like warframe where they update the game every few months and keep adding stuff to it :)
"You can see other characters, and they can see you."
a.. little yes
Server issues
Yeah.
If you're looking at them from across the room, or something..... Lmfao
great theory ? but failed miserably
Kaz its true tho lmao
"Will there be DLC?" "No."
That's the final confirmation I needed. Goodbye, greedy game monoliths, hello Hello Games!
It's nice to see a transparent developer now and again. He literally gave so many negatives about his game, and openly admitted them! Yet, I think it's because of this admittance that people will still push themselves to buy it. Because this is a developer they can trust.
Well they sort of can't do doc unless they make everyone who gets the game buy it because everyone is bascically on one giant place
***** He is. He really is.
westonman211 It's possible. MMOs have been doing it for the last decade.
Oh well ok then xD thanks for informing me, and i agree Sean is awesome!
+westonman211 Hey, np :)
+Emma Anderson What would they even add as DLC? New places? No, it's procedural. Costumes? No, you can't see yourself. Upgrades? That ruins the in-game economy and is too microtransaction-y. See, there's not much DLC stuff to add.
+HaloEliteLegend NO MANS SKY FTW
"Will there be DLC?"
"No"
Interesting, does this mean that the post launch content will be free?
+chiffmonkey it means, any content that comes out for the game will be a free download, just like how it is with GTA5.
basically added on content will be free updates
+chiffmonkey I love how we have to ask that question like a small child that's been beaten over the head with DLC his entire life xD it's really sad actually.
+Nyxato Not really, if a game is released in a great state at launch then there is absolutely no reason why any post-release content is expected to be free. Hence the existence of expansion packs and subscription models.
chiffmonkey Expansions are understandable, constant DLC that totals over the cost of the original game is unreasonable.
I almost feel bad for the guy because of all the criticism, but he really brought it on himself.
5 years after, some of the NOs are now YES.
For anyone that doesn't know, in this game, you will:
collect resources
upgrade your suit and ship
go to space stations
buy stuff
hire A.I. mercenaries
become a merchant
fight pirates
become a pirate
interact with stuff
use your multitool (which is a device that can do multiple things depending on the attachments you put on it, like shooting and collecting resources. It was shown in the original trailer as a rectangular orange gun shooting a laser I believe)
etc.
There is more to the game, but not all of the info has been released of course.
Apparently ships are not upgradable. :(
Thomas Jiang It's more like you go out and buy new ships with different looks and stats, you just don't get to upgrade that one singular ship.
***** That's what I'm talking about. I remember back in September or something, when I heard that you can stick with one ship that you can upgrade and that the idea is that you become attached to that ship overtime. Seems like that's no longer the case at least in the beginning of the game.
Thomas Jiang You can still add stuff to it.
432neptune Wait, I think I remember hearing this, too. So you CAN add things to your ship?
For those who aren't sure about the game:
Think of this: You fly into a planet and explore a bit. Suddenly you find yourself getting chased after some large animal from the planet and you're running for your life trying to escape. Suddenly you encounter some large cave that you explore. Down there is an entire light show of organisms and creatures. You eventually find your way out and get to your ship. You leave the planet and head on to the next adventure.
I feel like I'd get bored of that within a good week or 2 of playing.
pure poetry. =)
I felt like I was actually there
I really like that idea. Thanks.
Yeah thats if there was actually something like that in caves in No Mans Sky
The entire game is now officially One Man's Lie...
now is No Man Redemption.
@ I see you haven't kept up to date
Not anymore!
Not anymore
A lot of the stuff he said no too in this video have actually been added!
Like what?
collecting plants for instance
+kajo van der meer and now there are several npc races to interact and learn from
Adam Green kajo van der meer Yeah the main one I picked up on was when he said no NPC's, but recent footage has shown a fully integrated and highly populated worldspace
Building bases will be added soon as well! You can also build your own space freighter! HYPE
No Country For Old Man's Sky 2016
Mister Disco aha
"is this the game your playing where your spreading your seed across the universe"
yes
I like how every question is now true except the "fly into the darkness" thing. Even some of the things he said no to are now possible. Nice one Sean!
Looking back on this interview, I don't understand the hype people had for NMS. He said "no" to basically everything.
went back to this and he’s basically done everything that he said he would
The most genuine answer so far has been the answer to the question "Are you uncomfortable?"
1:35 "You can see other characters, and they can see you" - Sean Murray.
LIES! Day 1 has players not being able to see each other. 2 players were in the exact same place at the same time on their twitch streams. Sean Murray and Hello Games MUST answer this controversy immediately.
They don't have to answer shit.
+Raajur They do if we're buying it
Sean Murray has spoken on it. he was very surprised at how quickly people found each other and says that the server issues might have been the reason they couldn't see one another. so basically some type of glitch in the game. he said they are looking into it.
They said at launch it's not multiplayer
Console peasants are not allowed to see eachother.
#PCMasterrace
Notice how majority of the things he said yes to are now true, and most of the things he said no to are now true. He was doing something stupid lying then, But if he was doing this interview again, I think i’d like to see it.
The only thing that he said yes but isn't out yet that you can land on asteroids but you can walk on them from a glitch
Yea and more than we expected with the ship customization coming, I don't know why he lied so much back then, but in his mind maybe he did plan to have all these features eventually but not on release, which he should have said.
Sean Murray just looks back at this video and checks off all the Yes & Nos he has since made possible in-game. One of the greatest people leading one of the most dedicated teams of all time.
Started with lies😂
@@happybuggy1582 that's the best part lmao
@@happybuggy1582
end with glory
"Is there intelligent life in this game"
"The players hopefully"
I died
Dunkey brought me here
ehhh no
Same here
"Will you be bored playing this game?"
"Yes, sometimes."
This actually compels me even more to buy this game than I was before. Every developer who says "you'll never ever be bored playing our game" is lying and Sean is above that. He doesn't have to say the game is perfect because it will speak for itself.
Every game in the world will be boring no matter how much you can do, you can find, you can kill, you can meet
I also like the prospect of being bored wandering around some empty planet, and then glimpsing some cave and being sucked into 6 hours of gathering,crafting and trading etc.
+Marth Shepard that's happened to me when I used to play minecraft
he said he will get bored cause hes the developer on next question he says the other guy wont get bored
The forever grind will kinda be the source of boredom but there's a lot to look at and explore in between so the boredom shouldn't linger too long hopefully
I understand technology is not powerful enough to make a game like this be terraformable but for fuck sakes, why didn't he allow us to craft stuff and build bases in the planets and so on.
Because this isn't minecraft.
rockkiller124
You can't deny that being able to build a "house" would be cool. Even if the game is about exploration it would be cool to be able to settle down and build some structures if you wanted to.
Team cerberus Well someone sounds like having a bad day :)
***** it's not the purpose. If you want to settle a base on a planet and stay there play planet explorers. NMS wants you to go around and see as many things as you can. It's 18 trillion planets for god sake why would you stop on one
God Even though it may not be the purpose it should be a thing players can choose to do. I do think that making a crafting system and building systems would take more time to develop and may take the focus off of the games goal. Maybe it could be released as DLC or a mod (if they allow PC gamers to mod their game) after the games release.
I would also like to see a post-apocalyptic game with a procedural wasteland, and instead of star-fighters, you use motorcycles and cars and stuff.
So just a bigger Fallout, with vehicles
***** Seeing manmade structures etc and every day life destroyed and the interesting factor of what happens or how things look after an apocalyptic event.
***** Eat shit.
***** Often it's a grim reminder of our deepest instincts and how fragile is our shell of modern pro-humanitarian civilization. While war stories based in history can have a similar appeal and message, I find they quite often loose that appeal and power the further we are from said events. People tend to think what happened in the past stays there and will never affect them. Moving the action into the future creates a looming warning that in an abstract way can't be just shrugged of by pretending we have somehow outgrown it by now. Another thing is it creates a harsh environment for any protagonists to battle through giving the audience the more reasons to root for them. Lastly death is fascinating; The convulsions of a whole dying civilization are extremely fascinating.
I will buy this game just because i Like this Guy personality. He is so honest and has a unique personality among all developers. He acts like a fan not like a sales man
HAHA
Oh, sweet irony...
🤣🤣🤣
Everyone calls this guy a liar, but you have to understand that the scope of the project, and what they were able to get in on the deadline kept on stretching farther apart during development. Hello Games probably had a lot of this planned but weren't able to meet up with it during development. You can't blame this guy, especially considering he did all of the public appearances appearing in front of thousands of people on cameras and lights.
I totally agree - in the end I think people still harping on him for the past look like the assholes at this point, considering instead of taking the money and running, he ended up implementing most of what he says yes to here and much more as _free updates,_ funding all post-release development with the initial income. At this time they had nearly _2 more years until release,_ and an insane amount of hype fueled by the press. Everything being asked was technically possible to implement in that time, so he didn't want to say no and disappoint everyone, or yes to everything and over-promise. The way he says "...yeah" to multiplayer, for example, totally has the tone of "we should be able to do that" but not the tone you'd take if it was a 100% for sure thing.
so, they said that the game would have a lot of stuff that we just discovered that it didn't have after launch and we shouldn't call them liars for saying those things?
@@AnonyIUW I don't think you understand the definition of the word "liar".
Someone can only lie when they know what they are saying isn't true. Hello Games _thought_ that they were going to be able to get all of this into the game. However, development was rushed, and due to the partnership with Sony, they had to release the game by a certain date. That isn't the behavior of a liar, it wasn't an intentional mistruth. Eventually, they got all of that content into the game, so it's clear it was planned ahead.
@@iBot. they got everything except PvP which is what is most lacking at this point
Miles Wright *****
"Can you purposely destroy a planet?"
"A little bit."
*FUCKING SOLD.*
I'm guessing he means we can destroy or severely damage eco systems or the atmosphere, but not blow a planet to bits.
Miles Wright He's previously confirmed terrain deformation, so we might very well be able to *literally* destroy them.
It would probably take forever though.
New year resolution : crash the server by destroying every planet you come by.
Killjoy0329 Given that the only data the server would need to update would be the new algorithm for generating the damaged sections, you could destroy every planet you came across for years and never crash it.
So no NPCs basically means this will be the loneliest game ever made?
CostanzaKramer1 there will be other people flying around, just no npcs on the ground.
CostanzaKramer1 PC and PS4 will play together on the same server so your talking about millions of people in no mans sky. though itll be kinda lonely in a sense since the game is so massive
SchoolKidInTheDMV CostanzaKramer1 Butt Flashing Kenny Sean said today in the IGN video of 18 minutes of gameplay that there will be artificial intelligence so you won't really be "alone"
ahh well that's good
CostanzaKramer1 Don't kid yourself, even with NPCs you will be alone. Which is why I love it.
Well looking at this now it’s way more accurate
When you watched this. He did say he doesn't like answering the questions and he's uncomfortable.
BUT he said no to things that ARE in the game now. Base building, space stations and massive freighters.
And now full Multiplayer.
They were slow, but it wasn't much of a lie in the end. I feel it was just rushed. Including for what I believe it an indie company.
No DLC? HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!
"Is life a miracle" - "No"..... Really? “An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going.” - Francis Crick, biochemist and spiritual skeptic, shared the Nobel Prize for discovering the molecular structure of DNA
Eh, there's your difference. Life over origin. Origin of life? Sure. Life itself? After it's around, nah, not too much.
lol....based on what? we've discovered around 1800 planets so far, all of which are hostile to life, now granted there are plenty more out there but when you say life is plentiful in the universe you're speaking emotionally not scientifically because as of now we seem to be all there is.... to say otherwise is to make a statement based entirely on hope and not reason or science. No matter what side of the table you sit at (I happen to be a theist) you have to agree that considering the insane amount of parameters that need to be met and the amount of time we have (13.8 billion in the universe, 4 or so with earth) well then time wise and mathematically the probability that we are here is nearly ZERO. lol...creating abundant life in a video game doesn't exactly transfer over to reality, if it did then I could say jumping up and smashing bricks will give me a magic flower that grants fire magic.
Joe Danger: ~shrug~ You're taking a lighthearted interview too seriously. When anything abounds around you it's easy to take for granted, especially if you're not looking at it on such a grand scale. How is baby formed? Some creatures reproduce somehow (I say somehow because it's not always as simple as male-female sex) and voila. That's not miraculous, that's predictable, as are the chances of it failing.
We are part of the universe that has gained the ability to think about itself. I dont know if I'd call that a miracle but it's one hell of a beautiful accident.
Gmr Leon Let's also not forget every single detail of existence, from all the physics to how life and planets in general work (it's basically a giant machine). It's pretty miraculous if you look at it.
1:00 - "Can you play with your friends" , "yes"
WTF Sean Murray
We need a WALL - E companion
NO
i just saved 6 minutes of your life... #yourewelcome
james wasda *You're #getrekt
I need to hear the question to know what no was said to.
"Will there be [insert some fun stuff here]?"
"- No."
purple.
nurple.
Q: "Is Arrakis in this game?"
A: "No. But there is a very similar desert planet inhabited by giant sandworms. In fact, the novel Dune was one of the inspirations for this game."
[NOTE: THIS IS ACTUALLY TRUE.]
Preston Dixon did i miss that question?? did he actually said that?
It's a question I made up and wasn't in this interview. But the fact that Dune helped inspire this game and that a desert planet inhabited by sand worms is true.
Preston Dixon oh ok thx for the reply :) yes i do know that,i remembered him mentioning Dune
no npcs but there is player interactions? SEEMS LEGIT
can you exit your ship in space?!?!?!?! that's all I want to know... I wanna float aimless in space and burn up in a planets atmosphere because my character has a terminal illness and wants to go out that way...
+Nick Mckeehan interesting fantasy.
+LUIGIII ok ok Sean...do you want to see your family again?..put it in the game...
+LUIGIII damn it....*walks away with head down*

cringest thing i've ever read
I am telling you EARTH IS AT THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE!!! I can almost smell it
No it's gonna be Morgan freeman XD
+Reezeyy i think the same. either that or there will be a bunch of solar systems in the middle were civilized planets will be. i can already imagine there is gonna be tons of people around there.
yeah, when he said "sort of" i reckon he meant earth before it was taken over by human, maybe we are the humans which take it over my landing on an empty earth! idk just a thought!
+Reezeyy i saw a good comment on a video that says it's just gonna be J.J Abrams holding a giant mirror creating the worlds biggest lens flare. either that or it's just gonna sean sitting on a couch, tapping his watch and saying "what took you so long? i've been waiting here for fucking ages!"
haha lol
wait no DLC?.... our prayers have been answered
Hjálmar Húnfjörð Sverrisson no paid dlc but there will be free updates
Brendan Forish where'd you see that? What kind of free stuff?
Flippin' Epic Guy He isnt saying that free DLC will be released, but rather he stated that there will be updates coming out, like most other games on the market. Just the occasional updates. Bug fixes, small amounts of new content. things of that nature.
Flippin' Epic Guy think of it like minecraft. you buy it once and you get tons of free updates that give you more content
Watching this again after internet historians video makes so much sense to me now
I really hope they add building in the game. Sean said that they might put it in the game if people want it. So hopefully people will ask for it. It would be so cool if you found a nice planet and just build a house on it. don't know why they haven't put it in the game to start with.
That is one of the best interviews I've ever seen.
agreed lol
It was the bongo drums that did it for me.
"Are there sheep in this game?"
"Maybe, not that I have seen."
That's what makes the premise of this game so unique, even the developers do not know what exists in the majority of their universe.
That's why he hesitated with the earth question. With over a quintillion planets, it's quite possible that one of those planets is an exact replica of earth. Especially considering the fact that their rules and parameters are most likely based around earths.
Wow the game has changed a lot since this, a lot of the answers have flipped
Yeah the NPC ones especially!
Yeah the game is still a piece of shit
@@otsu3011 wrong lol
@Michael Robertson it's not a lie dude... Seriously the game now is freaking amazing...and now with tomorrow's update it's gonna be awesome! If you don't like exploring... Then is not the right game for you
@@risinghopegr yh this is true, quite a few of the 'lies' are actually true now
After so many years, most of the things that were promised actually became a reality now. Good job hello games
Sean Murray is awesome.
Love his interviews! He is such a down to earth guy
Marlos Cruzeiro Soares Filho Literally.
+Marlos Cruzeiro Soares Filho kinda ironic that the game is about space travel and you call him "down to earth"
+Marlos Cruzeiro Soares Filho No earth is not in this game.
Man you can almost taste the anguish in Sean's voice. It's like he wants to say as an answer for every question "Listen I'd love for ALL of this to be in the game but it's just not done yet." But the guys with the checkbooks at Sony need him to bullshit for them to keep the hype up because they said they wanted a game and they want the game now.
i love how he keeps poking at how something earth like exists in all his interviews. I can't wait to see if some civilization is out there, or atleast the remnants :)
Maybe our solar system is at the heart of the universe.
i bet it's all fucked up if it is :)
Well he's most likely saying that something earth-like could exist because there are literally 18 quintillion possible planets in No Man's Sky.

Great interview thanks and looking forward to this game, I have to say I'm more curious than excited.
in alll his interviews, he has that "oh shit i've f*cked up" smile
im glad they added npc characters and alien life in the game

Will there be NPC characters? No
Will there be DLC? No
Can you land on comets? Yes
Will the game be fun? Yes
Will the game be boring? Hesitant No

How did that work out for you?
I would love him to answer these dames questions again so we can see how far the game progressed.
Can i basically be Han Solo or Star Lord that is the question?
Good question. Lol. I guess you can

Space Stations likely to be in development at a later point.

Informative, entertaining, and funny XD
"Is there intelligent life in this game?"
"The players...hopefully."
Love the reply.
Best number of lies per minute ratio ever.
its nice to see the fact that a lot of stuff changed, it means that Sean did his work
I think a lot of ideas for the game's future updates came from this interview lol
