It looks very interesting, though Im waiting for more gameplay before I commit to anything.

Quick summary I found of the Q&A:


- Symmetric start (like in 4x games)
- In the early game it's gonna be more like a 4x but later on it's gonna be more like Europa Universalis.
- Currently the game supports 1000 star systems.
- Randomization of species: "no lore" - in each game you are gonna find a particular history. They want each game to be different.
- There are some inspiration in the Victoria series.
- Ship design

It does look interesting, and I'm sure those that like Paradox games are probably really excited, for me, I've the exact opposite response, because it's Paradox I need to see game play.

PDX can into space!

No really, trailer looks good. I like the fact that the trailer is apparently completely focused on exploring. I'm also a bit concerned about that - few space games ever got that part right.

I'm looking forward to more substantial info.

While not a 4x, if there's anything that No Man's Sky is likely to actually get right it will be space exploration.

Because that is pretty much all you can do in it.. :laugh4:

Exactly. And more often than not games, 4x games for example, try and do more than actually works in terms of gameplay, balance or the AI's ability to manage it.

Absolutiky sounds interesting
