Anyone on here got this yet? The size of the game has to be seen to be believed, it has:

18,446,744,073,709,551,616

planets in the game to explore.

If you wanted to see every location of interest on every planet, it wpuld take you 584 billion years of gaming. In fact, though everyone is in the same universe on the game, the chances of every planet being discovered in the first year is virtually zero

    Can you play randomly, or do you have to planet?

    Might even buy a ps4 just for this game.

    Gonna be one of those games that isn't for everyone, but there's a lot of updates to come (building bases etc) that should make it quite epic.

    Would you ever meet another player?

    The crazy thing about the game is just how many possibilities there are, not only in where to go and how to get there, but what you do on the way, from scanning everything on one planet and renaming it all, mining the entire place and getting rich by finding rare materials and selling them, running around shooting the shit out of everyone you meet, exploring the aliens you meet, getting to know their language and trying to help them, or flying through space, hacking into other ships and terminals, living the life of a pirate in deep space.

    People have already met, which is something the developers weren't expecting in the first day or so, but the overall aim of the game is to get to the centre of the universe, so the closer you get, the more people you are likely to bump into

    By chance apparently it's a very low chance, but obviously if you put your mind to it you can meet others.

    That and there is no loading times and screens from getting into your spacecraft, flying off, going into space and ending up at another planet. Just amazing.

    I named a galaxy I discovered 'Roland Out'. If you visit it, feel free to drop beach balls everywhere.

    Vic 20 is first. It has 3 planets and 2 stick men to find. Only keyboard compatible as you have to type the instructions into the new high end QDOS 0.10 user interface.

    Sounds like Elite given a 30-year upgrade ...

    To one are the odds of Roland splashing adequate cash on a promotion push

    Is there any facility in the game where you can discover an inhabitable planet, colonise it a bit, and then build a nice little football stadium on it for people to enjoy. Then when some Belgian twat tries to come along and ruin it all you can pull out your phaser disintegrater and blow the fucker sky high.
    I would be quite interested in that sort of gaming experience :smile:

    And 600 billion years to find the ball from Nicky Baileys penalty.

    Guess that would've been crazy.

    I have the game. I'm totally engrossed right now. It's a really relaxing game, a nice break from some of the others I play.

    I was going to get this but I don't have a very good internet connection with the ps4. does this game have to be played online?
