Oh my goodness Light No Fire looks so good. I really hope they've learned the right lessons from No Man's Sky, because that trailer looked like everything I want from a game.

As a huge fan of No Man's Sky (maybe my favourite game), this is the game that really got my attention. It looks stunning.

I have some faith in Hello Games. I think being skeptical is absolutely the right call, but from what I can tell Sean seems like a decent guy that just got way too excited and started promising the world to people.

The worst part of the NMS incident is that other companies have started doing the same thing deliberately.

Since Sean Murray went right back to promising everything, it doesn't look like it. Although from the reception it looks like gamers haven't either.

I actually didn't get that sense this time. Certainly the trailer left a lot to the imagination, and that's letting me imagine impossible features that weren't shown. But I thought Murray was very tame in his explanation. He didn't really promise anything beyond a giant procedural world with multiplayer, and we know they can deliver on that. Everything else might suck. I get why people are skeptical about this, but I'm feeling confident that the final product will match what was shown here.

Saying they'll create (fantasy) earth seems like a lot, to me that's not just some random rock in space, but who knows.
