With its new game, Hello Games is literally promising the world. Is the developer of No Man's Sky about to make the same disastrous mistakes all over again? (www.pcgamer.com)

They have NMS running very well with billions of planets. They should be able to make one good planet. Gameplay is where this game will succeed or fail.

They have NMS running very well with billions of planets.

Eh, more like 10, each with a couple of variations: grass world, toxic world, radioactive world, ice world, desert world, scorching desert world, volcanic world, dead rock world, anomaly world, swampy world.

I also distinctly recall the game's framerate taking a nosedive with nvidia drivers 421 or newer, some years ago. Standing still and moving the camera around would freeze several times. Using older drivers made the problem go away.

Yeah, if it has the same base gameplay loop as NMS I already know I won't enjoy it, no matter how many features are built on top of it.
