"What's Up With?": No Man's Sky

In this solo-cast, Jon dives into what best defines No Man's Sky as an ideal, an original IP, and a game. Much secrecy has surrounded this title, but if one combines all the information provided by the trailers, interviews, and hands-on demonstrations; a clearer picture is painted of precisely what No Man's Sky is promising to be. THIS..could be a game changer!
