Back to these articles again, eh? It's PS2 gen all over again.
Sony is prepping for the new normal... Soon all (even PS4) games will be streamable to anybody even if they don't own a PS console. So, you can choose to buy the console and get the top quality experience, or you can just pay a fee and stream the games instead if you don't want to purchase a console. Eventually, when the stream quality catches up to the local machine quality, they'll stop making new consoles.
That seems to be the general consensus, that PSVR provides an equally impressive and immersive experience to the more expensive counterparts. I still am interested in a Vive for its tracking abilities, when its price drops a bit, but I also don't have a large play area so that is limiting.
Gotta love the people saying "PS3 used to have AAA, now they only have indie on PS4 + games" as if indie = bad. Some of the best games this generation were indie games. No man's sky & rocket league, the two most played games on my PS4, are indie games. One was a free + game.
I do agree it needs more content, but I wouldn't go so far as to say the fun dies that fast, as I still have found great fun in exploration. Plus, there's confirmed new gameplay elements on the way, so I'm going to just explore and stack up valuable items for a while until they arrive. For an 8 person team, I'm impressed with it. It isn't complete yet, but as long as they keep the updates free and frequent, I'm willing to give them the time to do it. This game has pote...
Yeah, the party system was so much better on PS3. I could easily launch into a game with my friends or even watch what they were playing, and sometimes even interact with them while I was watching. I could do cross game chat and game sharing too! My download speeds were SO much faster... And I definitely enjoyed being able to post in communities to find groups of people to game with. /s
People think that the instant game collection should define PS+'s value, ignoring al...
As you jump from star to star, occasionally you will get a message that says "anomaly detected" and a purple round space station will appear. Go to it and talk to both characters inside. If you can give them what they want, I think it's the short little mechanic/engineer dude that gives you the atlas pass.
You will get atlas stones by jumping from star system to star system until you hit an atlas waypoint.
You also can build upgrades that make you run faster.
Don't forget that half way through the development cycle their studio flooded and they lost everything. Not to mention, when you don't have to focus on getting the engine up and running right, you can put more effort into content. So far the game is pretty stable, I imagine after a few more patches it will be just as stable as the next game is. It only crashes once in a rare while for me as it is.
Why isn't Neo, which is said to release first, not the beginning?
You're right, moldy bread, it doesn't have to be made with consoles in mind, just a lower-mid range PC that isn't much if any more powerful than the consoles are.
Min Requirements:
Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz
Phenom II X4 940
GD CPU hardware score: 7
GeForce GTX 680
Radeon HD 7970 (pretty much the exact GPU PS4 has)
GD GPU hardware score: 9
8 GB GD RAM hardware score: 6
The only crime that Hello Games is guilty of is being too ambitious. You can tell they want to make this into a platform that becomes its own living, breathing universe, but an 8 person team can only go so far in so much time. Sean Murray also shouldn't have misled people into thinking multiplayer would be there day one, even if he does plan on implementing it later (which, they wouldn't have given us the ability to look up discovered star systems had they not intended on us to bump ...
What's so special about this game?
No game before has ever given you one full sized planet to explore, let along 18 trillion mostly unique ones. Yes, there currently are some limits in the variety that you see, but they've continued to add more as updates have come in. An 8 person team can only add in so much variety for the game's engine to choose from when generating worlds, so considering they've done this much, it is a very solid accomplishment. They are...
The game can get repetitive at times, until you find something new to get into that is cool. It needs some more content in some areas. I'd like to see more variety in weapons for the ships to make space battles cooler (homing missiles, for instance), maybe some more variety to the bolt caster to make different weapons types, and then add a multiplayer mode that lets you do space battles or land based battles over outposts, but the entire solar system is your map and you are expected to ac...
He probably isn't lying, there very well could be multiplayer code going on in there, but it may suck. He mentioned each player having their own online lobby that surrounds them like an invisible bubble. If another player comes into that area, and you haven't maxed out your number of players in that bubble, he says you are supposed to be able to see them. With all the server problems, I imagine there have been lots of connectivity issues with getting people into your lobby bubble, in ...
My Review:
No Man's Sky is a great game. In many ways it creates its own genre for space exploration games. It isn't perfect, it does need more content and can get a bit repetitive at times, but they are adding more with updates. As long as they continue to add more stuff and refine the experience, this is very much worth the $60 price tag. It really is an incredible experience and I have been playing it non stop since it released.
This contradict's Sean Murray's own words that you may see a ship flying around that is driven by a real player, but you will never know they are real because the game won't label them any differently than a NPC ship.
The problem with that, those 100 players would start the game scattered across a quintillion planet large galaxy, and they'd all have to find their way to your planet, then you'd all have to kill the species, and even then 100 people may not be enough to wipe out a planet's worth of critters.
Those that have it say it's the same light. Also, the same battery does not equal the same battery life. They may have found ways to make the controller more energy efficient.
