I'll be following this one. This was really the only game that stood out to me at TGA. But after the NMS release, I'll be waiting for reviews.

Play the new Warframe update until then. Its got some trippy maps coming.

This game looks absolutely incredible. I’m not going to pre-order under any circumstances (been there, done that with these guys, lmao) but I firmly believe HG are capable of sticking the landing if they try, and if it’s all it’s cracked up to be at launch I’ll be playing the shit out of it.

Hello has really come around when it comes to building the framework for a great sandbox game and if you're diligent about creating goals and tasks for yourself NMS can be fun. Not to mention seamlessly flying off a planet into space was an amazing novelty.

However if they want me to try Light No Fire they need to do two things: turn the page on the NMS gameplay loop ideally with some truly emergent gameplay, and fix the inconsistent and unintuitive UI. I did really enjoy a lot of my time in NMS but to do so I found I always had the feeling I was working against the system instead of with it.

My biggest gripe was they didn't bring up my backpack inventory in the regular manner when selling. I keep thinks in specific locations and seeing a vertical list five items at a time was a massive waste of time and screen space.

This looks cool, but it basically just looks like a reskin of NMS in a fantasy world and they're going to need to do more than copy Valheim to make this one fun.

Looks absolutely generic af.

Can't wait to play it.

[-] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 years ago

It looks good. The bones of NMS are easy to see, but there's enough new to make it exciting.

[-] dbug13@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

This looks great. Looks like NMS crossed with Valheim. I've been enjoying NMS for 4 years now, with all of the continued free updates, I gotta say it was the best 30$ I've spent on a game. My concern is that NMS multi-player game play is very buggy, and it looks like this new game wants to be multi-player focused as well. I hope they can pull that off with the new game, and maybe fix multi-player in NMS. I've been loving my time in NMS and I will definitely give this new game a try. I didn't see a release date for it, so I assume it's a couple of years out.

Valheim, but I can ride a dragon? Keeping my fingers crossed.

[-] simple@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

This is really exciting. I've liked everything about No Man's Sky except the gameplay which I thought was boring. If they can replace that with exciting fantasy combat, I'm in.

Also this trailer felt weirdly very similar to the NMS one. The zoom out from water, panning over the landscape, and riding ~~ships~~ dragons over everything had all the same beats.

I saw someone say they intentionally made a take for take remake of the NMS trailer.

[-] magic_lobster_party@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

The original NMS trailer was also revealed on one of the Geoff Keighley award shows (I’m sure it was The Game Awards back then).

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

It was, back in 2013

They made that point this year right before showing off Light No Fire at The Game Awards 2023

If they take everything they learned along the way with NMS and release a polished game, this is going to be a ton of fun.

NMS is in a strange place for me, it's a game that will clock hundreds of hours but likely will never make it on a top 10 list for me. It's a game I can always go back to, but not something I will rave about.

If LNF hits that, I will still be very happy with it

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Orange cloak.

I'm in.

[-] HKayn@dormi.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Here's to hoping Hello Games releases this one on GOG as well.

[-] DarkThoughts@kbin.social -4 points 2 years ago

Hello Games trailer, nah dawg. Not again.

[-] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

You should probably read up in the redemption of Hello Games / NMS. They have released update after update, dlc after dlc, all for free. The game is truly completely different from what it was. Not many games has gotten this good of a follow up after it's rough launch.
