No Man's Sky in June; Preorders Underway

No Man's Sky is coming to North America on June 21st and elsewhere on June 24th, and preorders for the Windows edition of the procedural space game are now underway on GOG.com and on Steam. Word is: "The pre-order incentive for No Man's Sky includes the Horizon Omega ship — faster engines, better guns, all to kickstart your trip and help you survive longer on the interstellar journey." And for the truly fanatical, iam8bit offers a $149.99 No Man's Sky "Explorer's Edition" (thanks Eurogamer) which includes a die-cast spaceship and other goodies along with a game code. Here's word on the game from GOG.com:
Intergalactic travel changes the notion of time. Unimaginable speeds connect impossibly distant worlds, dilating lifetimes, blending generations. A round-trip may find your world aged and unrecognizable, separated from your loved ones, irrevocably alien. In an intergalactic society, only the few set off towards the stars — explorers, those unafraid and with nothing to lose. They set off never to come back as far as our lifetimes are concerned. And thus, we still look up at an infinite sky, now within our reach, yet still untouched — a no man's land, a No Man's Sky.

No Man's Sky promises discovery of an infinite, uncharted universe. Its billions of stars, planets, unknown living creatures, breathtaking sights and lonely wastelands — all seamlessly connected — populated with explorers drawn to the distant mysteries of the horizon, eager to leave a permanent mark in their wake.

The frontier is merciless and dangerous. Exposed to a universe of extremities in your fragile suit and ship, you'll need resources and upgrades to get far — as well as the means stand your ground in fight.

Whether you journey to the center of it all or seek out the farthest reaches of existence, the trip will not be simple or dull. You'll catalogue things unseen, discover alien artifacts and reveal mysteries of the universe. If you survive.

The pre-order incentive for No Man's Sky includes the Horizon Omega ship — faster engines, better guns, all to kickstart your trip and help you survive longer on the interstellar journey.

Minus hype and years of waiting, this would have been an AMAZING 20-40$ indie title. It's not going to be good enough to support the AAA hype and 60$ price point.

I still think it will be a great tech demo to pick up and mess around with when it hits a lower price.
