Hey guys! Glad to see you decided to cover NMS evolution. Just a few suggestions:
If you played the game on Sunday on Xbox, you played the previous version. Update 5,0 is dropping only today for Xbox and Switch.
About the performance comparison, what you can do it use Creative mode and find a portal, then you can travel to a planet by inserting a glyph sequence. Just use the same ones on every platform and you will go to the same planet and the same position (the portal on the other side).
yeah lol when he was saying he tried it yesterday I was like ooohhh noooo
everyone needs to like this comment
DF probably have access before normal end users
@@DillerDallerDuller possibly, but ive never once seen any RUclipsr with early access for no mans sky
@@DillerDallerDuller Idk. I saw several RUclipsrs say the same. Lol. Spawn wave was saying he was going to boot it up on Xbox and I was like, "Nooo!"
With the amount of games that a blithely abandoned. Leaving gamers cynical and despondent about investing their time and effort. This is a breath of fresh air.
With how well Hello Games has supported NMS, I think they've built up enough goodwill for people to have no qualms about purchasing Light No Fire for full price when it comes out. They've done an amazing job of supporting NMS, and if LNF is supported even half as well, it'll be an amazing game and one I'm happy to pay full price for.
The redemption was achieved long ago
They were still missing a ton of things from that first reveal
@@JPOG7TVyeah but they added a ton more that was not in the trailers.
With this last upfatr they finally added floating islands lol maybe now there's nothing missing.
Still an insanely boring game. Like an empty Subnautica with no story.
Indeed
@dorian6021 Minecraft has alot more going on in terms of depth then NMS does. NMS sky gameplay is just chores the game forces you to do in order to not die or to keep your ship running. Minecraft has an end game goal, a robust and seemless focus on building and editing the entire world. Minecraft allows true and total freedom to build whatever you want and have it truly feel like it belongs in the world.
There is more personality in your average random Minecraft seed than any of the randomly generated worlds of NMS world.
its so funny that no one talks about Starfield anymore and No Mans Sky is still going strong
Starfield was DOA. I can't believe people still believe in Bethesda to put out a good game
Bethesda no longer matters as a game studio
Tbf we are less than one year after Starfield’s release. At that point in NMS’s life, people were still calling them “Goodbye Games,” calling Sean a liar, and assuming the game would just fizzle and die. I love NMS but I don’t think it’s fair to compare NMS 8 years after release to Starfield 1 year in.
@@zeldaoot23 Psh, It's Bethesda we're talking about here. They aren't going to fix anything.
@@MasDoucLend me that crystal ball when you’re done with it.
We need a documentary highlighting the progression of this game. Truly a great redemption story!
There's a 53m video called "The Engoodening of No Man's Sky " by Internet Historian. It's basically that and it's four years old. With 24M views.
Dude that's what ALL people are talking about when they think of this game.
Really it's annoying 😑
@@HolammerYea it's what all people are talking about when thinking about this game. Really it's annoying and sad.
@@tufflucal4037 This comment is kinda annoying and sad.
GVMERS needs to get on it. Or Strafefox
It's one of the very best VR games as well. The PSVR2 version of this game is stellar.
The developer literally loves his own game. He is building this for himself first and share his passion with the rest of us. What is mind blowing is that they don’t even charge for these updates. I bought it 3 times: on ps4/5 and switch at full price, and recently on steam/macos for half price. Never been happier to support a developer like I am now
Valuing your customers in the long term will always be good for your bottom line(wished all studios knew this). Planning to pick up thier new project and blindly purchasing all DLC when its released. Been loving this game for years. The flight system alone makes me annoyed with Starfield
Hard agree! Given their dedication to us as players and fulfilling what they originally set out to do at almost no cost , every update being free, is something we don’t see these days. It’s very refreshing and makes me as a player want to support all their current and future projects because I know they will back it up fully.
@@Skiesoutthightsout89Yea but we want these updates to BRING BACK what was promised, not some another expedition or a cosmetic addition. I mean sure they add more than that, most of these updates are quality of life improvements if we're honest.
I think people underestimate how big and AMBITIOUS the original intended game was and it's sad that are blind and no longer appreciate the original Art Style of this game. 😢
Why on earth would you blindly purchase anything? Your only experience with them so far is that it took them a few years after their last game to get it to decent state, and that they've done well in continuing to build out the game since then. How does that make it a good idea to blindly purchase everything they release going forward? If anything, it should be "I plan on picking up their new project two years after release".
Be smart, don't pre-order, wait for reviews and streamer reactions, don't blindly order anything whatsoever. Just because they did well in recovering from the travesty that was NMS release, doesn't necessarily mean they'll do any better with their next title.
@@mascot4950 maybe just to show gratitude at such a small studio going out of their way to fix the game when these larger devs dont do it, besides they'd rather invest in them knowing they'll fix problems with any future title, beside epic and activision have enough money.
@@deeplaysgaming4754 But you don't know that they'll fix it next time, you only know they did it this time. Even if they might want to do so again, there's no guarantee they'd have the funds to do so if they fumble another release. I have no idea what Epic or Activision have to do with this. All I'm saying is, never pre-order, wait for release, and buy what you want to buy. If the release should turn out horrible but you still want to give them money because "NMS turned out well in the end, here's some extra money for that even though this new title is unplayable," it's your money.
the update wasnt on xbox yesterday, it came out today
might be a timezone thing.
They are on the other side of the planet.
@@Trollseeder I wouldn't think so. this video came out 3 hours ago. the update came out about 3 hours ago on xbox
@@pokealong updates come out at the same time across the world. this video came out 3 hours ago which is pretty much right when the update came out on xbox. he also said "yesterday" which would likely mean a minimum of 12-16 hours prior. even if the timezones were changed it certainly wouldnt be by more than an hour or two
Can you all start the game after the update? Mine is stuck on a red loading circle
Still doing my occasional rounds of NMS on the PSVR 2, it's the only way to play this phenomenal game for me. Every new update i'm tempted to jump back in and see what's new, more than once taking off the headset when the birds start singing..😂
lol I’m the same way. Been playing since VR1. That was the whole reason why I got it and I love it. This VR2 update looks great. Just glitches for me to buy and sell. Can’t see anything. Hopefully they fix that soon. I got a lot of shit to sell.
How does it look on PSVR2? Blurry? Crystal clear? I really want to get one for NMS, but I can't afford it, and I can't justify it for one game, so I'll live through your experience!
@@UltimaManit came out very blurry and not really enjoyable but they worked for a long time (one dev for 6 months I think) to implement dynamic foveated rendering. Since then it has been very crisp (and amazing). Only drawbacks are a more present aliasing than most game IMO and the frame rate sometimes "perfectible". Frame rate issues are reportedly a bit worse since the latest update
@@UltimaMan Happy to report it looks really sharp and clear! NMS makes use of eyetracked foveated rendering on PSVR 2, it's up there with PCVR in terms of visuals and there's HDR on top of that. Some say it's less buggy too but there's some jank for sure. I got about 300 hrs. in NMS and i played half of that with PSVR 2, if you got the cash just go for it you won't be dissapointed
@@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264
Amazing, really glad to hear it. I feel like NMS is too good to miss out on in VR, I'm desperate to give it a go! Hopefully I'll be able to afford it by Christmas, I just need to get my partner and daughter's birthdays out of the way first, lol.
Thank you so much!
At around @6:08 when Alex says "I think it's something that we probably should cover ... In some way ... I don't know how possible it is", I jumped into a parallel universe where they were going to talk about the PSVR2 version. But of course not 😂
I just want to say that I really appreciate the effort this team has put into this game not only to deliver on original promises, but to really expand and add a lot more to the game. And without charging people who bought in so early on into the idea. it is truly a redemption story for this studio. Huge props to the dedication to the team and the love and belief in what they were doing to get us to where we are today. I felt ripped off in the beginning, but I've certainly gotten my moneys worth now. No complaints and nice job!
while i've been really enjoying the new update overall, when playing multiplayer with some friends, we were running into many sync issues. stuff like mountains of rock appearing inside our home base for a few of us, weather conditions not synced, buried technology modules not appearing in the same spots, etc. i'm afraid this game might just be best played solo.
Agreed. Got someone else to try it just to have us both be disappointed. At least I bought them the game so they don't feel burned.
I'm really hoping they fix this for Light No Fire, at least.
I had the same desynched weather etc
the game i smostly a single player game that you can share and play with you friends, but at core is a single player game, so some stuff is not synced, and to be honest i don't mind i acctualy prefer it to be a single player game that i can play offline anyway.
This is the kind of game devs we need. Loaded it up last night on the OLED deck and it runs stable 60fps played for almost 2 hours
It's beyond impressive everything they've done since launch, but no matter how many times I tried to play it after however many updates, I just found in boring and soulless ultimately. It never felt like a proper "game" to be, as in great gameplay, but more like the procedurally generated space that it is. Shooting rocks and collecting them to build something so I can shoot more rocks and collect them to build something so I can shoot more rocks just isn't fun for me. And the other stuff wrapped around that basically core mechanic can't overcome it imo. Even playing it in VR didn't really move the needle for me--and I love VR. But, hey, what an amazing redemption story. And for all those people who do love it, it just keeps getting better and better.
Finally out today on Nintendo Switch & Xbox
I'd have to guess that doing this update for NMS will dramatically improve both the quality and features for Light No Fire. It's like a early access release on steroids, without needing to tip your hand about what the new game is like. I'd have to bet that the cost investment in NMS will give them upsides both with new sales (to fund LNF) as well as a good launch later.
Please also do a review on PSVR2
They will theorize for hours about what a Switch 2 port could look like before they even mention the PSVR2 in passing. 😁
The game that keeps on giving...
I can't wait to see what they add for Part 2
Hopefully add more life to the planets. My hope is full towns and maybe even cities
I hope it makes the game less boring
@trinitypunk7102 the elephant in the room! It's an endless resource collecting game.
NMS deserves continual support. The game still has so much potential to be greater still. There’s a ton of room to grow
Yeah 18 quintillion planets of room 😅
I would love to see a comparison between launch NMS and current day NMS! That would be fascinating
While Sean was definitely speaking more ambitiously than he should have before launch, they had a bunch of things happen that delayed NMS a lot. Not only did they have to deal with a bunch of dumb lawsuits, at one point the studio flooded and they lost a bunch of equipment.
Yea DF here blindly knows what there talking about! Lol
The original build is Far more Radical and AMBITIOUS than the game we have now still!
For me personally, NMS is the only example of a games-studio that cares about their customers a.k.a. players and not simply dumps their product and forget about it (like many, MANY other companies do meanwhile). Updates over updates (not only buf-fixes) over such a long period of time, free of charge. I still can't believe it. It's one of the best "investments" I've ever done in buying that game.
it is indeedn cross play, and you ca indeed easily meet each other by sharing your NMS friend codes and meeting up (except from Switch). Up to four people, one enters the game normally and the others join their game from the game menu
I truly can't believe how beautiful it looks.
The fact they updated the switch version as well is pretty phenomenal!
If you have the disc version of No Mans Sky you can play the OG version of the game if you don't connect it to the internet to get the update. Also I think on PC you can get the OG NMS somewhere
I love how much support NMS received.
Been a long time since I played it, but for me it didn't need a redemption. I massively enjoyed the original PS4 release.
Remember that this update says its PART 1. So more is on the way folks
I re-downloaded the game on PC, I haven't played it since 2019. I'm sure it's quite a different game by now. I'm looking forward to their new fantasy game, hopefully it's more feature rich and dense since it's limited to a single planet and not a galaxy.
Great redemption for this company. The game looks amazing now.
And it's played amazing too. Spent 16 hours for the last two days and can't stop since
@@sneakygeny Pandora planet hunting, finding new biomes to put down new bases, checking on my old locations to see the changes- most good, some bad... digging old bases out of Nest and Horror growth; etc.
Haven't really slept in five days.
@@TchudStill not the game that was promised.
@@sneakygenyBut STILL not the game that was promised. But they are moving in the right direction if I think I know what they're going for in the world's update?!
@@tufflucal4037yes, I heard rumors that they are gonna go into missions and stuff from npcs. More activity on planets based on that.
And don't forget about the PSVR2 version of this game, it's one of the most amazing VR games ever made.
The biggest redemption story of all time. Saw this, purchased it for my PS5 (it’s on sale btw) although I already have it on steam for my PC. Things like this need to be encouraged.
Best played on psvr2, astonishing
It's probably the best thing on PSVR2, sadly. It plays amazingly, but it's sad that there aren't MORE games for the PSVR2!
@@sethfeldpausch4337 I enjoyed Res evil 8, Res evil 4, gt7, synapse, call of mountain, Madison, 7th guest, vertigo 2, moss, saints and sinners, Arizona sunshine 2, walk about golf, hubris, red matter 2, Pavlov, legendary tales, thumper, cyube vr, over dark list goes on. Plenty more to come in 2024 too Aces of Thunder, Alien Rogue Incursion, Arcade Paradise, Arken Age, Behemoth, Compound, Into The Radius, Metro Awakening, Phasmophobia, Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate, Zombie Army --- and that's just scratching the surface
@iwantalot , you basically just listed every game on the platform.
@@bobbobbins4877 nope bot, 250 games on the platform bot bot.
@iwantalot , it would take a bot to play through all those games you listed. Or someone without a full time job.
Regarding multiplayer as long as you guys add each other ID's you can then enter a persons game it will instantly place you in same system and planet.....later on you can unlock the anomaly if spelled correctly and when you exit it asks if you wish to exit to a selected friends system or your current own 8) recommend placing bases down and a teleporter when starting out together so you can teleport also to the same planet or system! VR is epic a group of us always play VR now.
Does anyone else try to get into this game but drop it after 10 hours Becasue it’s just mining crystals and not any actually interesting gameplay?
still the case?
How have you all not covered this game?! I've been playing this game since day 1 on PS4. It redeemed itself many years ago.
please do some coverage on the update. Idk how much switch is handling this. They made a custom FSR for switch only. This thing runs natively on Mac. It's pretty impressive to see where they got after all these years. This is all the "base game" no DLC/Expansion/BattlePass/PremiumPass/Microtransactions were ever released
I play NMS in the switch. The biggest update I received was rather small, just over 2g.
It drastically improved game crashing. I would crash a half dozen times a night but no crash yet in about 18 hours.
Its a proof that some developers have their hart in the right spot ..you see other games not even changeing ..but thodse developers ..cudos hat off fore them ..did the right thing ..make this game into ..what it now is ...a dream a legend ..way past that other gamemakers do ...❤
I pre-ordered NMS before release many years ago now. I was lucky and managed to keep my expectations in check, but was still disappointed. But I’ve received every single upgrade for free since then, and have watched it slowly but surely become something truly amazing. At this point I almost feel bad for now giving them any more money. Dev Champions!
i really hope that the next game will have a bigger purpose, even a villan and a journey that will have a spectacular ending
This would be great for you lots to do a deep dive on. Especially the pc version where the setting options are extensive but have some strange outcomes with regards how they affect performance.
For instance the game won't run at high frame rates without triple buffering as opposed to normal or no vsync. The frame gen doesn't work and dsr doesn't seem to work how you'd expect either. I hasten to add this is on a 4090 with a 7800 x3d.
Furthermore current builds seem to understand utilise both the GPU and CPU which is strange.
Would love to see your thoughts and perhaps some recommended settings!
Thanks for your videos
I love No Man's Sky but I don't play aimlessly. I currently play every seasonal expedition and sometimes replay the main story when there's a massive update. It's fun to replay the story when you know how to make the most of the systems. The seasonal expeditions are fun, faster and different than the story mode to play No Man's Sky and earn cosmetic rewards. In an expedition you meet TONS of people from different platforms in the player hub area previously only known as "The Anomaly". You also encounter even more players as you visit the static (not procedurally generated) way points and quest locations since everyone is going to the same location.
The community missions always start out on the same planet afaik, so then you can benchmark the next one of those on all platforms
The fella in the middle said he tested the update on his Xbox, but I read that the Xbox update was delayed?! What the heck.
Remind them to hit the options button (on PS5) and click Information to see the exact game version you’re playing.
HG clearly long term goals for this game. It’s one the best space exploration games out there. Small improvements are prioritized over sequels. It’s seeming like a good business model. I haven’t bought a new COD in years but I always check in on Siege and no man sky. I guess fortnight does it as well.
We all should buy No Mans Sky just for all the effort the studio put into making their promise come true! This dedication to the players should be standard for all studios!
I don't think everybody is going to permanently leave No Man's Sky when Light No Fire comes out. Sure, they will temporarily head over to play the new game - but No Man's Sky is like Animal Crossing, you never really quite put it down because it's designed to be endlessly replayable. It's also a completely different game, as NMS is focused on exploring galaxies and LNF is focused on exploring a single planet. Different people will prefer different experiences. I also wouldn't be surprised if Hello Games keeps making updates.
Also - there's so many ways now to get to where you want, I don't think it would be a problem to be able to get to the same place to do testing.
4:40 I think they could've. We have to remember their offices were flooded and they lost a lot of data.
John, also try it on PCVR with your Quest 3!
@2:20 Alex was not happy about being interrupted for really no reason since he was about to elaborate on this.
Poor Alex
The switch graphics are actually wonderful with water rendering and reflections. It’s an impressive achievement. And it’s not crashed after finishing the expedition with little frame drops in combat.
I love when these devs focus on perfecting a game over time. 1 good game is better than an infinite number of bad games.
I would love to see an in-depth review on this and where it came from, i only got it since PSVR2.. GT7 is my main fix, but this is my go to when I'm in need of some chill time, I've not done a lot of it but it just feels endless and the time you can loose exploring in VR is crazy.. I've literally felt ive spent 30 mins exploring a planet and realised 2hrs plus have vanished.. please do a psvr2 part if you do an in depth, its not crystal sharp but pretty incredible for a 10 year old game 👍
Good to see VR mentioned in the comments, would be good if DF could include VR in their coverage
I'm one of the few who loved the game at launch, and I disagree that the game wasn't beautiful then. I found all kinds of pretty planets that I wished I could have made my home, but the game didn't allow any sort of building at the time. Now it does. Whether the game is your cup of tea or not, it's always been a massive accomplishment in procedural generation. Hello Games have literally created a universe. Pretty wild.
Once you set up a Stargate and travel through it, you can always go back, as long as it has power. I always run solar and several batteries so I can always get to my old bases or other areas I want to travel to. I never tried getting on with multi-player because I'm not convincing anyone to play with me lol but all I'm saying is that it's technically possible to easily link up and warp to your friends base almost Instanly once your Stargate is properly established.
Just so you know at least on the SWITCH, You can travel back to dead(unpowered) gates but to leave back through the gate you need to repower it.
You can also just invite friends to your system. They'll just show up there, then the space station and other teleporters will remember and you can go there anytime.
Also if you are in a friend's party but traveling different systems and want to connect again quickly, I just hop into the Anomoly. Upon relaunching out of the Anomoly it gives you the option to warp to your friends system.
So ya, I'd say it's pretty smooth and slick connecting and exploring with friends. There are some glitches and stuff that isn't synced with eachother sometimes though.
You only need a "stargate" to travel from a base using it. You can travel to all your bases even if they don't have them. It'll just plunk you down next to the base computer.
I wonder if it’s even possible for the OG version to work without updates, doesn’t it need cloud compute or access to a global database to run, I would guess the apis for those have changed over time
No Man's Sky is (and always was) fully playable offline. The only things you need to be online for are to view names of other peoples discoveries, visit other bases and multiplayer.
@DF - it is possible to play the original 1.0 version of the game by installing it from a physical copy and disconnecing the playstation or xbox so it can not update the game
Don't worry about finding each other! There is a multiplayer lobby on board the Space Anomaly! It's a mobile spherical shaped space station you'll be able to summon pretty early on in the game once you complete the tutorial missions. The anomaly will find you, and once you go inside you'll be able to call it to your location wherever you are. Inside the station there is a multiplayer hub where you can all meet up and go on missions together.
And it's possible in VR, not to be forgotten!
I see this as a single-player game with broken multi-player. I have a much more incredible experience when I'm playing alone. When I play with my friends we almost always... let me repeat... almost always run into weird bugs that break immersion or stop us from progressing with our objectives or just screw up the fun-having aspect of the game. Unfortunately I don't think Hello Games is going to fix multi-player in No Man's Sky. I hope for a different experience in Light No FIre.
The pop in is still too aggressive.
even after this new update any planet I visit look baren, low res and not nearly as it shown on this ad videos. And even here DF are speaking about trailer instead of playing actual game and thats weird
Glad developers still care about this game from the medieval times.
Been playing the switch version its actually decent minus the horrendous frame drops
I just started playing the game for the first time, and in VR. The game is highly polished as an VR game, with well thought out controls that are highly intuitive. Many dedicated VR games aren't this smooth to control. It's not perfect, and things like starship controls are a bit janky at times, but overall it's a must play for anyone with VR at home.
just on the aimless and boring part, it is an extremely open ended game but it has pretty much the Minecraft appeal of you can dedicate you time to creating or exploring there is a small story line through out that you can choose to engage with but it almost feels like before I start a session of nms I set a goal of what do I want to achieve in playing today which I think is interesting.
I played it on PS4 while waiting for it to come out on Series X/S and quite how they have managed to get it running at a decent frame rate on there is a miracle, and yes EVERYTHING coming to PS5 and Series S/X is also on PS4. The fps does tank on some planets (like toxic planets that have a lot of fog and particle effects with dense vegetation) but it is n't unplayable.
The game just feels like it has no actual core, it's just a hollow collect-resources thing.. I wish I felt differently since it is undeniably cool in VR but I just can't get into it
It’s easy to get to the same planet in creative mode. Also using glyphs and portals. Talk to the community, Captain Steve has plenty of information that can help.
Damn, they really don't know shit about NMS.. past or present💀
It’s plenty more than a visual update guys. For one thing, each type of extreme weather planet as well as storms 100% effect the gameplay such as your mission and exploration planning and preparing!
There is a new expedition.
Certain layouts have been revamped in recent updates, including menus, inventories, etc.
You can get in Star Wars sized space battles with freighters and space stations and Dozens of starships!
You can also get in the Other kind of Star Wars space battle…where it’s you against one or two bad guys in fast, heavily-armed fighters similar to yours! 🤙🏼
You can literally build your own starship now! Which I very much look forward to figuring out how to do.
Not to mention…I think I’m getting close to finally reaching the Nexus, or Anomaly, or whichever that special and important meeting place is. Based on discussions and comments I’ve read, it quite seems like once you reach this Space Nexus, the game is really only just beginning!
My PC 4 Slim runs perfectly and looks amazing with version 5.01.
Same as it was. Game looks better with engine improvements. No better hardware required.
If you played the game yesterday or any time earlier than today on series X you didn’t play the new update you played the old update.
The thumbnail killed me 😂😂😂
you could actually save a game on v1 and reload it on the new patch, someone did that on the subreddit within the last day or so.
I wonder if they're still selling copies to fund these updates or did they just sell so many at the start? It's amazing, what other developer has supported their game for this long and continuously improved it? For free!?
They gotta address the pop in though, kinda sad how they make their trailers hide this glaring issue when it absolutely destroys visual immersion.
You could run the PS4 disc version on PS5 then export that save to PS5 (updated version). The game has a save transfer option. I don't know if it'll work considering the changes from launch but if it's using the same seed still the you should have some direct comparisons. The only problem I can see is perhaps the game would require a new seed after updating. But also if it doesn't require a new seed then you won't see the new additions even on PS5.😂
The thing is you aren't coming across the beautiful planets they showcase unless you actually get the location runes after seeing screenshots and that basically spoils the discovery process. Most of the planets suck.
the game is great now, if you've been on the fence about buying it worry no more, its worth buying. and Yes, John, Rich and Alex, you can play in the same instance as your friends. when you connect to their game you essentially are in the same universe per se but on thier planet where they might have a base and if they have a claimed base they control whether you have the right to build there.
Please cover NMS in future videos, I would love to see. Can you also look at Elite Dangerous, I have long wanted to see a DF video on that game.
Just because of the love they have show towards us gamers with the continuous updates of No Man's Sky, I will 100% by their next game, because I have faith in the studio.
AND THIS IS ONLY PART 1.
I am still waiting for a 60fps update on AC: Unity, and while Ubisoft doesn't give a damn, Hello games, here, is doing a miracle.
Over and over again.
These guys (Hello Games) are awesome.
Unity runs at 60FPS on Series X.
@@bobbobbins4877 Yes, but that happened because MS put an effort into it. No official patches form Ubisoft.
This game should be an example to be followed by other studios/publishers, for me this is a real exemple to how a proper Game as a Service should be, and not that BS games full of pay walled features and battlepasses and whatnot.
Played this game on Xbox and double dipped it on Steam and noe I've bought this game on Switch. It's an amazing game that takes a lot of time but it is the first Space game that is immersive with space travel and landing on planets seemlesly. Looking forward to their next game.
Hello Games and Sean have been knocking it out of the park for years now. They seem possessed, in a good way.
I remember I played the vanilla version it was so daunting that in a life you will not see a fraction of the planets and solar systems in the game.
I have been trying to play this in VR (on PC) and it just doesn't work, it crashes every time. So over it.
by the time this video came out, the switch update was already up. yep, it has clouds and the new water
Ok, I guess I need to load up a save file yet again to see if this is for me.
I remember buying this game on release and I played the hell out of it despite a lot of the missing features. I think a lot of peoples opinions put me off of it in the end. Bought it and sold it multiple times on diff platforms in the last decade and finally got it stuck with it on Steam. With this update I'm looking forward to hopefully getting it run better in PCVR... 😂 (still managed to play 2hr in that too despite stutters 😅😅😅)
I feel like this is only groundbreaking for anyone who played it at launch and is only now just catching wind of how far its came since.
Alex comment wasn't on point, the update came to the Switch and the game looks awesome there, NMS 1.0 on ps4 was a great game, they built that game and all that tech in. 3 years, there's a lot of noise around nms 1.0 because the game had a lot of noise around, Sean said many times before launch that not everything was going to be at launch, but apart of the noise at launch, thousands of players did like the game and stick with it. Best procedural generation and exploration was actually in NMS 1.24 The Pathfinder update, then the procedural generation and colour palette had to be turned down because at the time it was complicated with the tech they had to bring all the new features with the taxing procedural generation. Now with 5.0 it feels that they were able to bring back that procedural generation and the good colour palette and the fact that 5.0 runs on the Switch with the new water is absolutely nuts, the thing that the Switch version does not have is water reflections and on the ps5 the game is just gorgeous on the TV, this game deserves a proper DF analysis on alm platforms in the current form. And for DF guys it's really easy for you to make comparisons, just start a creative save on all platforms and locate a portal, then you can input the same coordinates on all consoles and you can visit the exact same location on pc, switch, Xbox and playstation.
Why isn't anyone doing any before and after videos?
