@andrew: Trust me, when we went into IN, the biggest focus was providing a game that breaks the static worlds in most games. I’m a huge fan of Bethesda games, and I can play Skyrim for hundreds of...

@andrew: The big concern I have with No Man’s Sky (and pretty much all the space voxel games to date) is starting too big, and not providing enough backstory. The complaint I’ve heard many times with...
