Looking forward to No Man's Sky

"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."

Space, the final frontier, we write the year 2015, this is a never ending mission, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
A sentence, that may describes the goal of No Man's Sky the best.

No Man's Sky will be released next year, maybe in June, maybe later. I'm already looking forward to this space survival exploration game.  You will be able to explore 1000s of planets, find secrets and leave hidden messages for other players. An whole open universe can be explored. No campaign just exploring on your own, go wherever you want to go. Maybe this sounds boring for some of you. But for me that's the game I was waiting for. Exploring planets, go on your own space mission. You also will be able to meet other players but that is really unlikely to happen, in this infinite world.
Thinking about it it reminds me a bit of a 3D version of Starbound, where you are able to explore countless planets too. I'm so looking forward to play No Man's Sky and will definitely streaming and/or let's playing it.
