And, there's something that Murray equates to a complicated Pokedex, though I like to think of it as a new kind of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Every creature, element, planet or cool thing that you find gets placed in a grid in your own digital encyclopedia. It also includes a 'wanted' meter that calls in deadly robotic security forces if you murder any of the native wildlife on any planet вЂ“ similar to Grand Theft Auto. It mimics Minecraft in terms of starting from scratch and mining a planet for resources, building on each new element to craft bigger and better weapons and gadgets. For a game so large, innovative and, frankly, unbelievable, it feels oddly familiar.

I got my hands on No Man's Sky for PS4 yesterday, as part of a private guided tour provided by Murray. 'There's a reason no one is making a game like this,' Murray says. It's a tricky, dense and time-consuming game to develop. The second a player leaves an area, it disappears on a processing-power level, though you can of course return to it at any time by walking or flying back that way. No Man's Sky is made possible through the magic of generated content: Everywhere a player goes, the game crafts the universe directly around that character. Yet, so far, it fits just fine on a PlayStation 4 and it's also coming to PC. It seems like an impossible game, one that would take billions of years for a single player to complete. No Man's Sky is as mind-bogglingly big as the conceivable universe.

The game mimics a real-life clear night sky - each point of light that appears on the screen is a planet or a star, most likely undiscovered by any other player, prime for exploration and mining.

No Man's Sky is 'infinite,' by all reasonable measures: There are 2 64 planets to explore, each of which features unique resources, animals, colors and landscapes. It's a neon-tinged, 3D, first-person exploration game on a massive, interstellar scale. No Man's Sky claimed stratospheric fame with its announcement video during the 2013 VGX awards and again with a formal reveal during Sony's E3 2014 press conference. This is the true story of E3 2015 for Murray and Hello Games.
