‘No Man’s Sky’ Will Kill You In All Kinds of Badass Ways

  Here we are, Ego-gamers, cruising along on the No Man’s Sky hype train. This is a big deal, right here, the next the next evolution for open world sandbox-y games. This is the game that was too damn big to have any time for Kanye freakin’ West. That’s how huge of a deal we’re talking here. Because, when one open world isn’t enough, you need 18 quintillion of them. 

Yes indeed. For the uninitiated, this is a super-ambitious space exploration adventure, seeing you heading off the beaten track and diving into whatever activities you fancy. A kind of less-crimey Grand Theft Auto Solar System, if you will. A lot of the PRtastic the developers have released has focused on core concepts of the game: exploration, trade, combat, survival… all essential elements to an experience like this.

The latest trailer focuses on that latter factor. Now, if you’ve dabbled in sci-fi, you’ll know that space is not a damn friendly place to be. Just about everything out there is no only fully capable of killing you, it’s desperate to. The atmosphere itself wants to crush your scrote and the rest of your feeble squishy body into spam. There are ass-probing aliens, meteor showers, Death Stars and other evils lurking in every inch of the place.

To reflect this, the fresh new gameplay below has taken a bit of a darker tone. It’s not all captain’s logs and introducing sexy four-breasted aliens to good ol’ human sexy sex out here, buddy boy. This is a hostile environment. For just a quick ogle at some of the dangers you’ll face, check this out:
