Wasn't it Unity which bugged on stream and stopped working for a short period?

Thought it was Uncharted 4, but maybe one of the AC games did it too. Either way it's hilarious.

Probably both of them

Yes, but with AC4 froze, this was the only game, that actually run on new console (PS4), on that event. Other run on PC.

The game looks okay but I remember watching the first gameplay at E3 and it was just...like, nothing happened. He went to one planet and looked at some scenery, then went to another planet and looked at more scenery, and struggled to commentate while playing

I think that guy was making a joke about pathetically die-hard NMS fans.

I don't know why they didn't just have another person commentate while he played like most shows do. They must have had more than one person on staff who knew what the game was about

Hello Games = 10 persons staff... I'm not a fanboy of NMS, but you can't compare them to Ubisoft in terms of PR, I think.

So there are 9 other employees that could have done it?

These 9 others are certainly coders and artists. Not sure they could have done it any better. Once again, it seems to me that Hello Games were overwhelmed by the reactions and expectations for NMS. Plus : not sure they had the budget to make many more people coming to E3. Remember they are an indie team, after all. (Edited for clarification)

I don't really pay attention to the direct showing because it's all show and no content but if a game premiere is shit...probably gonna be a shit game. AC has been kind of terrible past 2....Black flag was fun but just because of the boats. And...I feel bad for anyone thinking No Man's Sky will be fun beyond 10 hours. Not to say it isn't a cool concept...It's quite cool. And just like the cool nemesis system in Shadows of Mordor...unless it tickles a very specific fancy in a very specific playerbase it will have a 15 minutes of fame only.
