I’m not sure how this game would cause any such IP issues if it were to even release tomorrow. It’s not like the game itself is using anything from Steamboat Willy other than the art style, which Disney doesn’t own.
I’m a big Dontnod fan. They really know how to craft an emotional story with some great character interaction and drama. None of their games is perfect, but they are always an enjoyable (and very emotional) ride.
This seems yet another LiS-game-but-different-title-for-legal-reasons (kind of like Tell me why), so I’m really looking forward to it.
NMS is my Zen game. I have over 500 hours in it just in the last two years. I know the game is not for everybody. I have friends who don’t understand why I hop through the galaxies, explore systems, hunt for ships, play the expeditions, and build base after base after base, even though so much can feel repetitive for some. But for me, it became my new Minecraft - “one more brick”. I love the expansive feel of it, and find the isolation relaxing. If i want to see others i can hop over to the Anomaly or hit the community build areas. I cannot wait to see what Hello Games has come up with.
If they take everything they learned along the way with NMS and release a polished game, this is going to be a ton of fun.
NMS is in a strange place for me, it’s a game that will clock hundreds of hours but likely will never make it on a top 10 list for me. It’s a game I can always go back to, but not something I will rave about.
If LNF hits that, I will still be very happy with it
