The once again terrible VGA's have concluded (this time called VGX for some reason) and developer Hello Games showed off a slick looking new game called No Man's Sky. The entire world is procedurally generated (second in MMO buzzwords only to voxels) so every distant dot in the sky you see is actually a thing you can travel to. I hesitate to put this in the MMO side, but it's a persistent and massive world so if their idea of multiplayer is capped at 16 dudes they've screwed something up. Also, space combat confirmed.
Anyways, it looks pretty great. Hello Games is a tiny team (four people last I heard) and this is by far their biggest endeavor, but they put out the solid Joe Danger games.
Here's a low resolution YouTube clip that hasn't been removed yet:
Edit: Scratch that hesitation to put it on the MMO side thanks to thisEurogamer bit:
"Made by only four people, No Man's Sky looks insanely ambitious. The planets will have their own ecology and ecosystem, according to Hello Games' Sean Murray, who noted "We're all playing in the same universe." So the stars you see in the sky are actually other planets that other players are playing on. Madness!"
