'What do you actually do in No Man's Sky?' is still a question that we get asked far too often. Despite the sci-fi adventure-'em-up appearing at just about every big Sony-related press conference for what's seemed like an eternity, many of you are still unsure as to what the game is actually about.
Fortunately, you may finally have the answers that you seek thanks to IGN's first look at the release. The 18 minute video is pure gameplay, and by watching it, you'll soon come to realise that No Man's Sky is all about you. You can go ahead and do just about anything that you want; explore galaxies, find new life, name planets, build new ships, shoot some aliens, engage in space combat - it's entirely up to you.
As such, this is going to be a title where you make your own adventures. Very little's laid out for you, so you're left to your own devices as you discover your destiny in the vastness of the universe. Or something. Look, just watch the video, and then tell us what you think of it in the comments section below.

Ithought that Destiny will be something like that, but with planets made by talented hands and only in solar system.
I thought they answered most of those questions at E3 tbh. That still image on the video reminds me very much of Another World. Easy way to look at it is Minecraft meets Elite.
@Gemuarto I was hoping for that too, I had hoped the next expansion would allow space combat so we could do something with our ships instead of just staring at them in a loading screen.
@Gemuarto Ha, going on Bungie's logic, they'd make you take out a mortgage due to the amount of content in No Man's Sky. Then laugh when everyone complains.
this is the video for no mans sky I've been waiting for and its going to go on for the whole month
It looks AMAZING
@Swiket You don't say :/ Very weird!
The more they show, the less mystery surrounds the game, the shooting looks naff. Come on hello games, is this gonna be to elite, what Joe danger is to trials? (worse but colourful)
@themcnoisy
The shooting looks naff based off one gun that was on screen for a full minute or two? I can see another Destiny scenario, its rubbish because it's got no story just wait & see.
This will be bought no matter what for me. The potential exploration is right up my alley.
@banacheck I'm looking forward to the game, but they should stick with exploration and put more effort into varying areas and animals than some dodgy shooting mechanic's. Ive watched every preview and each time the hand guns used it looks rubbish more akin to tower of guns than any modern game.
I can't wait to play it! The scope and scale of this game alone warrants the purchase for me, and the "similarities" that a lot of people are making to Destiny are going to end up superficial when comparing it to "all the other stuff" this game has to offer.
I can't wait!!!
