Think it looks like a good concept. However procedural stuff and apparent lack of major story line has me thinking I will buy it the second it gets psvr support or when it reaches £20, whatever comes first.

Haven't bought into the hype.
I'll consider buying if it turns out to be really good.

I will never understand the Spore comparisons....not even close to the same game guys.
Like, not even in the same ballpark.
Anyway, I've got the limited edition preordered and paid off.

I'm hyped as hell and hoping it's a huge hit.
I'm ready to just zone out and explore, in a dark room with headphones on.

first I was kind of interested, but that was when they announced it. Since then all the interest has been replaced by some kind of indifference towards it.

But both games have procedural content so it has to be the exact same thing right?

I was really excited two years ago. Not so much anymore.
I'll definitely get, maybe not on D1 though. Met the "original" Hello Games guys a good few back when they did promo for Joe Danger. They were very nice and happy we spent some time with them because nobody was really interested in the game.
Also I'm a sucker for procedural content ever since I discovered Dwarf Fortress and developed a kind of academical interest in the matter so I owe to that interest alone to play this game.
Yet honestly I expect the game to review very poorly. The community at large has built up way too much hype. The game will not be able to satisfy all these expectations.

Going to buy it on Steam one day before it releases.
I look forward to it, it looks like a game you can play at your own pace, and thankfully without some forced PvP interrupting things. It's going to be fun to just chil on a space station and watch the traffic, or go exploring on a planet that's in everyone else's game... but I got there first. And then get mauled by space tigers. Then name the planet "Beware of Space Tigers".
I don't expect the game to be an all out action game, and that's okay. Slower, more peaceful, but still with moments of tension styled games are nice to have, too.

A wait and see position.
I'm still not entirely sure what all there is to do in the game, and I'm curious as to just how diverse the game really is since the planets are procedurally generated. So far, I get the impression that I wouldn't put much time into the game and it would just be a waste of money, so I'm waiting for player impressions and reviews.

Ideally you're not proud of the fact that you're being willfully obtuse on what the game is about, considering the abundance of information floating around out there nowadays.
Same here. I'll be glued to the OT when this game launches.
I think people are saying that the games will have the same fate (highly anticipated game with enormous potential that falls flat on it's face), not that the games are the same thing content-wise.
Where do I stand?
Well I have it pre orderd and that may or may not be cancelled.
In the grand scheme of things this game wont be a big seller at all. It is hyped on neogaf and gaming forums but it ends there. We are a select bunch, a sliver of the gaming population that eats gaming media up on the daily. This wont sell to the average person and I doubt they have even heard about the game. I think we are are own worst enemy because we put this game on a platform it does not deserve to be on from what we have seen.
Its getting the same treatment as a guaranteed hit with the amount of attention its getting. There is no way it will be in the end and it will fade in the endless proceduraly generated future. I suspect review scores and reaction similar to The Order 1886

or worse
They revealed it years too early and it might actually bomb because of that. Imagine releasing with the kind of hype it had for the first year. Now it seems like almost no one cares.
I still don't see anything beyond a proof of concept that might be fun for a few hours, but then again I haven't really been following the game. Maybe it's actually mind-blowing.

I want to see some more intense combat first. I know it is not the main focus of the game but if I can't be a space pirate I am much less interested.
I mean it may not be purchased by the masses, but the game has been shown on The Late Show which is quite crazy.
What does this even mean?

I literally forgot it was still coming out until I saw this thread. Sony hasn't talked about it in a very hot minute. Anyway, I'll probably get it day one if the reviews are likin it.

I fail to see how things aren't looking good. It makes all the sense in the world that this game would be delayed as much as it's been. It's one of the most ambitious games out there and it's being made by a tiny team. Seriously, Hello Games is 15 strong.
I've always felt and still feel that this game looks incredibly cool and has the potential to be the same kind of relaxing and exploratory experience that Minecraft has been for me in the past, but I absolutely feel like it is going to be a victim of it's own hype because I see way too many people who want way more from the game than it has any intention to deliver.
I'm quite sure that Hello Games are feeling this pressure real hard right now.

Even then, aren't there better examples of games like that?
Simcity comes to mind, Daikatana, etc.
I think people hear "procedural" and immediately think Spore for some reason. It's odd.

Not into it, Not hyped.
Game looks boring from what I've seen. Just doesn't look fun.

Cautiously optimistic but Indont buy any game day 1 no matter how excited I am, so I'm waiting for impressions and reviews.

Haven't been following it because even if it's great it's not the kind of game I'd spend any significant amount of time with. Feels like it has the potential to be the next Spore. Hopefully it's good, because good games are a good thing.
Spore also had lots of promises. They're not terrible comparisons and I don't get why it's bothering you in the first place.
Unless you are interested in blogging your experience online with the active community, I don't see the long term charm... honestly they should have included mechanisms for that right in the game...
There will be a heavy race between a few people to reach the center first and reveal to the world what it is. For a short while this will be exciting and the gaming community and media will be all over it... but once it happens, interest in the game may die immediately.
I have a half-paid preorder on the game, but only because when I did it there wasn't much else to choose from. But right now there are a wave of games and JRPGs releasing this year I'm MUCH more interested in, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to move that money.

the fact that people are excited for what has been promised to us without a real guarantee is the issue. If you where to list out the features in a bullet point fact sheet the game seems remarkable, unlike anything else we have seen and pales every other open word we have experienced.
but what we have seen it does not.
Sure, this may be an opinion but I am not alone. A game this big, this dense and with so many "things" to do they could release a UBI/GTA style play though trailer to highlight each "thing" but they are not. Its not because they are keeping it a surprise, its because each feature is fundamentally as basic as it sounds on paper.

My feelings about this game are procedurally generated.
Day one limited edition pre-ordered but my expectations are in check

Yeesh, if these games are comparable in your mind in quality...

I don't understand why a first person exploration game keeps getting compared to an RTS/RPG hybrid, that's pretty much it.
The games have nothing in common besides having "promises"? So they share that with basically every game ever made?

Basically this for me. I get the feeling that it'll be as wide as an ocean, but as deep as a puddle.

Based on what we've seen, I expect it to be the kind of thing where I really dig it for about ten hours and then lose interest. Depends on how much of an overarching Thing there is to the game. Like, simple exploration is great, but it's something I'd get tired of eventually.
Pretty much where I stood as soon as info and videos started coming out. Interested and with pre-orders for both PC and PS4.
I like collecting stuff, I love the look of it, I like the theme of it and so on.
No hype, as usual. Hype is such a negative thing. It will be what it is and that's that.
Since I've never speculated about it or hyped it up I will be happy with whatever it is as long as it isn't buggy and laggy.
Just let me fly a spaceship and look at silly creatures on odd planets in a pretty art style and I'll be happy.

But you listed simcity as a better alternative?
Sure. You're gonna keep seeing the spore comparisons though.

Can they just announce VR with it already also. . it's going to happen. This game was made for it.
