Has he even said anything yet about this game that sounds unbelievable? I feel like people are getting preemptively angry.

People are also forgetting that he spent the past decade creating systems and tech for NMS that he can now use in his new game. Systems and Tech he didn't have in hand when dreaming up NMS.

As far as I know all they’ve really said so far is “this is going to be a huge and epic game!” And people already seem to be like “oh boy another lie”

I'd like to quote one of the presidents of history here:

fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

  • George W Bush

I hope they deliver, but I'm gonna need to see some gameplay footage before I'll believe anything

Again…what have they said about this game so far that you think is a lie?

That's a false dichotomy. They oversold (read: lied about) NMS, so I have no reason to trust that they won't do so again on this one. Trust is earned, and I have no reason to take them at their word. I trust other devs that consistently deliver, such as Rockstar and Nintendo.

So I'll believe it when I see it. But I'll require actual proof this time instead of promises. The same goes for CDPR and Bethesda and every other studio where promises didn't line up with what was actually delivered.

"The first real open world."

That's a rather hyperbolic statement, even if they're not just over-hyping.
