No Man's Sky (Space exploration game for PS4 and PC)

Just found out about this game the other day while I was reading up on Star Citizen and it completely blew me away. Basically what it is is an infinite space explorer where you're almost certainly never to come across another player because of how vast the universe is.
E3 Gameplay Demo
Gameplay Trailer
Here's a good summary of the game.
Just seems like an absolutely incredible game. No one planet will ever be the same. Every player will be in the same universe if you decide to play online but with how big the universe is, it's highly unlikely that you will ever run into someone else and it is not humanly possible to explore all of the planets or "complete the game".
Here are a few pictures from some gameplay.

No Man's Sky is a procedurally generated open universe game. Players take the role of a planetary explorer with a spacecraft, allowing them to explore the surface of numerous planets and interact with the flora and fauna, and take to space, engaging in combat with hostile forces and travel to other planets. Planets and other features of this universe are procedurally generated; though initially built based on a 32-bit number processor, the final game will use a 64-bit seeding key, with the developers stating that this allows for more than 18 quintillion possible planets.[ The game will have online features that allow players to share details of planets they have visited with other online players, and will allow players to visit these planets through a large galactic map once they have upgraded their ship for hyperdrive capabilities.In August 2014, the developers announced that the game would be playable offline.
The game will feature planetary exploration, deep oceans, space-based battles, and potential predators on the various procedurally-generated worlds. Each world has its own ecosystem with potentially unforgiving conditions, such as desert worlds with large carnivorous worms.
Players are initially given an uncharted universe to explore, where information about any planet's characteristics and lifeforms may be shared and updated with others.

Did we get a release date on PC version? I thought it was just "We're releasing it on PC someday".

There hasn't been a release date confirmed for the PS4 version yet but they have said 2015. So if they want to do it right and not have a shitty port then I'd expect the PC version no sooner than late 2015.

I'm happy to see a potential return to mainstream for space flight games (ala Wing Commander, Tie-Fighter, Freespace) with titles like this and Star Citizen. However, I'm so skeptical of this game. Every time they show more footage of it I want to get excited but it just seems too good to be true.
Its promises remind me of Battlecruiser 3000AD. I SO hope I'm wrong about it and it turns out to be awesome.

I remember them showing this off and was blown how how massive it was.
I wonder what the end game is, if there even really is one. Or its just strictly fly around and check things out.

The "goal" they said is to get to the center of the galaxy. You have to explore, trade minerals you find on different planets to get upgrades for your suit and ship so you survive the trip.
The main purpose of the game is exploration though.

I hope it gets delayed so I can start that thread.

I bet you already have it typed out and saved in a word doc.

It's confirmed you can kill dinosaurs and wildlife.
In fact, you can kill off the entire wildlife on a planet so if someone happens to land on that planet at some point in the future, it will be completely void of wildlife still

I have been following this for a while. And I want to believe.
I have even considered getting a PS4 just for this game.
That being said...I eagerly await further reports and hope this isn't a disappointment like Spore was.
