5 Reasons No Man`s Sky Wins E3 2014!

In an E3 populated by derivations of the same form, sequels to the same franchises, spins on the same genres and tweaks to the same formulae, No Man’s Sky stands apart. I’ve never seen anything like it. Like, I’ve seen dogfighting sims before. I’ve played in the first person perspective and I’ve picked apart alien character models.But a communal, persistent, all access systemic universe. That’s new. That’s huge.

Literally…It. Is. Infinite.This is a massive claim, and its arguably too early to gauge what it even means, let alone whether or not it’s at all accurate. In the E3 trailer we start on a never before seen, fully traversable planet. Then we reach exit velocity and find ourselves amid an asteroid field, a hostile fleet, a pyrotechnic dogfight. Finally we chase our prey down into an entirely different fully traversable planet. That’s an asstonne of area to cover in a three minute trailer.
