"No Man's Sky" is one of the most highly anticipated games this year, and it seems like it's better than everyone expected. Not only are the physics and graphics out of this world, but there might be room to play it with virtual reality capabilities as well.
According to Christian Today, the video game's developer, Hello Games, is "working to create an infinite digital universe that boasts specifics down to every point of the galaxies and stars."

In fact, Hello Games managing director and "No Man's Sky" chief architect Sean Murray claims that the highly anticipated game doesn't have the "faked physics" most games have.
"With us, when you're on a planet, you can see as far as the curvature of that planet," Murray explained to The Atlantic. "If you walked for years, you could walk all the way around it, arriving back exactly where you started."

Many people are hoping and anticipating that "No Man's Sky" would be available on Sony's Morpheus VR Headset. As it turns out, even its own creators are considering the possibility.
"I don't know what I'm allowed to say, it's something we're thinking about," Murray told Edge Magazine via GamesRadar. "It's something we're thinking about. Morpheaus, Oculus... There's nothing more cool and sci-fi than VR and a big procedural universe."
"I think that, for the people who want to just explore, and even for the space combat and things like that, it would be a good fit. Let's put it that way," Murray continued.
Although no release date has been announced, MNR Daily says, "June 2016 will be the date when everyone sees what 'No Man's Sky' is really all about."
