To be fair that was probably the most complete gameplay video that have shown to date. Nevermind the complete lack of anything combat-related and the piddly max player count.

I said it before and I will continue to say it: I want to know how they are making their planets, stars, asteroids, and whatnot. I want to know if that planet was anything more than a textured sphere.

FPS is integral to the experience of a game about flying loving spaceships

I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.

Holy poo poo, did they really spend a year making 15 minutes of walking around and 3 minutes of actual gameplay

Holy poo poo. People cheered - cheered! - becaus Croberts didn't give them a timeframe for when this will be released.

And there was absolutely nothing in there that we hadn't seen at Gamescom.

For anyone who is complaining that any part of this current game state isn't good enough, just remember one thing. It isn't finished... and if it looks this bloody good at this early stage, use what intelligence you have to imagine what it's going to be like when it's finished.

That's the thing about all these 'cons' they tend to present something that progressively gets more and more boring through the years, and while a normal person calls it as such, this is exactly what's needed to string the cultists along to pledge some more and give new arrivals (that haven't kept up with how disastrous CIG's track record is thus far) some fake hope of: "Well, it's still in development...surely it'll get better."
