One of 2016's most anticipated games allegedly had a delay in its launch as reports stated that "No Man's Sky" experienced "technical issues."
Per Youth Health Mag, the video game is finally coming out June 2016 for both the PC and the PS4 platforms. But because of the delay in the release date's announcement, some gaming fans are speculating that something went wrong during development.
Indie game developer Hello Games first announced they were creating the game with a good backing from Sony in 2013. "We are not going to treat it any differently and we are going to put the full weight of PlayStation behind it," said Sony Commercial Director Fergal Gara when news of "No Man's Sky" first came to light, per PC Advisor. "If it all comes together as well as expected, it will be treated like a first-party release; it is not a self-published small indie title on the platform."
But since Hello Games and Sony made the announcement, little has been learned about the game until curious fans took note that "No Man's Sky" was listed with a release date of Oct. 27, 2015 on Amazon U.K.'s site. The developer was then prompted to confirm the actual release date as June 2016 during Paris Games Week.
More speculations soon surfaced that "No Man's Sky" has had several technical issues, hence the gaming companies couldn't make confirmation of its launch, per Realty Today. The same technical issues were allegedly also why the game's demo was not presented during the E3 event back in June. Some fans speculated that the technical problem may have risen from its handheld features.
Game developer Sean Murray was quick to temper down the unconfirmed stories surrounding the release of "No Man's Sky" in an interview with Eurogamer. "We're just trying to represent it, we think that is exciting, the game is exciting," he told the gaming site. "Hype, for me, is that other thing, which is like an unattainable level of excitement. An excitement that will ultimately end in hurt."
Meanwhile, Hardcore Gamer reported that Amazon U.S.A. has just listed "No Man's Sky" pre-orders for the PS4 with a release date of June 30 ,2016 and a price of $59.99. The value is currently a big issue among gamers. "This never seemed like a $60 game to me and I certainly won't pay that much for it. It's for all intents and purposes an indie game made by a small team, I don't see why it should be priced like AAA retail," said one commenter in the NeoGAF forum.
