Speaking of jumps and travel, have they actually shown how it looks and works from the ship? Ie. flying from planet to another and jumping to other systems.
Leaving one planet for another in the same system I think yes. Not if it's the fast jump option they allow games sites to use for system jumps. That won't be in the game we get.
I am thinking of pre-ordering this game but unsure on which one I want. If I do the Normal game get gamestops pre order bonus or I go with the limited edition and still get that plus the extras on the limited edition. Hmm. Torn between it. Since I want to see the limited edition bonuses.
Edit: Gamestop is no longer doing Limited editions. So Guess I have to go with the normal one.
How about other resellers? Here in Belgium it still seems to be available for pre-order in some stores.
IGN released a gameplay video earlier today
On the technical side the video shows fairly near range vegetation pop-in and lots and lots of stuttering
Where did you see stuttering? I didn't see much at all. (@ 720p60)
It is said in the video that this game is effectively wiki proof.It'd be great if the community around this game were to collaborate on a wiki, detailing each planet visited along with their flora and fauna. Since the vast, vast, vast majority of the planets visited will never be seen again by any other person, it would be nice to have them all compiled in one place to ogle over.
Still anticipating the release of this game, even if it's been such a long time since the first reveal. I'm not expecting it to be a game that'll have me sitting on the edge of my seat each time I play but more of a game I go to when I just want to relax and not have to think about not beating a particular level, spinning out or fixing crippling traffic jams as I do with the games I'm currently playing.

That doesn't mean people aren't going to create guides showing the most valuable resources and items.
Doesn't the game have its own little encyclopedia? For all to see what has been discovered? I have always thought that a wiki for this game would be very amusing.
Oh yeah, a wiki would be totally pointless from a game guide/walk through point of view, but since those planets might never be seen again, it would be great to have them recorded in one place so everybody gets to experience them somewhat.
It would be hugely time consuming and somewhat pointless but fun nonetheless.
Since I'm interested in the trading aspect of the game, I hope prices for items are universal, so that way I'm not getting rich in one star system and completely ripped off in the next.
IIRC it was said in one video that people who play as traders might find a specific trade route that is very profitable, and might choose to stay there a while to make a lot of money. This to me sounds like different resources might have different values in different systems. It will also depend on your standing with different races as to what you can sell resources to them for.
Thanks for the info. Have they explained how long it takes before the sentinels start hunting you down and the time it takes for your "wanted level" to go away? I imagine that if I'm blasting away at mineral deposits, sentinels will begin to notice me and attack. However, I've heard they only pursue you if you're destroying the land with explosives, not just going for resource clusters.
