'No Man's Sky' developer shares that he turned down Kanye West to meet Tesla's Elon Musk

Steam / No Mans Sky
The highly anticipated, open world space simulator is coming out this June.

Hello Games, the team behind "No Man's Sky," is receiving a lot of attention these days, and their latest appearance is in an interview with IGN.

For those who are unfamiliar, "No Man's Sky" is an epic space simulator wherein the player can explore the vast galaxy that is randomly generated, making sure that each planet is different. The player can craft and gather resources in order to survive.

In the interview, the founder of Hello Games, Sean Murray, shared some weird experiences from last year's E3 event. He mentioned that he met with Tesla CEO Elon Musk and he also turned down Kanye West.

"Kanye was at E3 that year and we got a message that he wanted to see the game and we weren't actually on the show floor at E3. So we were like, 'We're not on the show floor and we've got Elon Musk to meet and Steven Spielberg so we can't take that Kanye meeting.' It was one of my favorite things. So yeah, that was a weird day... This game has put me in one weird situation after another."

He also mentioned how fascinated he was with Musk, especially since he is a huge fan of his work in making environment-friendly cars. 

In related news, gamers and fans are beginning to speculate if the game will be compatible with VR. In a seperate interview with IGN, Murray mentioned that VR compatibility is possible, but he did not mention if the game will fully support VR. Hopefully, once the game is released on June 21 in the United States, June 22 in Europe, and June 24 in the United Kingdom, all these speculations including the VR would come to rest. 

"No Man's Sky" will be playable on PlayStation 4 and the PC. This means that Xbox One gamers may wait a little bit longer to be able to play this massive open world game.

More "No Man's Sky" news coming soon.
