No Man's Sky Beyond Update
- Thread starter blacklotus
- Start date
The floating orbs were replaced by actual avatars last summer.
Only people that "joined" your game. The community systems were still just filled with orbs.
If No Man's Sky VR is announced I would order an Playstation VR right away.
God, every single f'n developer out there should learn from them how GAAS support should be. Every single update from them could easily be a 40 bucks add-on and they give it to us for free. It's just mind-blowing what they do with this game. This is game extension on a whole new level.
As fucked up as the release was, everything after that impresses me again and again. It's such an incredible good game now.

Since they have been carefully listening to their fanbase since release, I think the three parts are;
1. Online
2. Better proc gen (in an offline mode perhaps?)
3. VR
These are thing most often asked for.

I do. The game has been a varied experience and changed dramatically throught its life. I still long for the lonely, almost anxious experience that was 1.0. If I were you, I would try to experience every version of the game.
I've restarted every time I go back. Plus, I usually play with permadeath and I've never been particularly interested in the base-building aspect.
Are there any kinds of MTX or paid DLCs for this game? Or are they still trying to set their initial fuck-up right?
Hopefully it eventually gets there. I could get really engrossed in the world their old trailer shows.
Everything so far is free, and the game is already far more than it was promised.
So we're at the point where were complaining that they made it what it originally was supposed to be. Interesting
Man, I remember playing a lot when the NEXT update came, but eventually dropped it when I couldn't decide where I wanted my base lol
As much I would want it, a VR version is possible on PS4? I remember the game having still performance issues.
I was about to restart the game with the NEXT update, but remembered I found a good ship and I was unable to part ways with it lol

It ran close to 60fps frequently on PS4 Pro prior to the NEXT update. I don't have any numbers nowadays but it definitely does not run at 60 these days unless you're in a space station. Probably 40-45 FPS on average I'm guessing? Kind of a shame because the game feels sooo much better to play at a high framerate.
Yepppppppppppppp.
They've done such a great job turning this thing around. I'm so glad I have it.
The claim this will be a bigger update than NEXT has me hyped af. But TBH I wish they would have kept it as 3 separate updates. I'm already getting anxious for more info. The wait for summer is going to be unbearable.
Hopefully they are a bit more free with teasers and hints than the buildup to NEXT.

What it was supposed to be and what you imagined it to be are two different things. The game was clearly never supposed to be what it is today because what it turned into renders the size of its universe entirely meaningless.
It was always supposed to have other people. That's why there was such an outrage over not being able to interact with other people. If anything they've been fixing it so it's like what was originally shown. Hence why people are happy about all the updates basically fixing the game
Cool. I wish them good luck. It's great to see the continued development and support after all this time.
I am a bit confused as well, but I'm still excited nevertheless. It's great to have an expanded multi-player. Really, how far can Hello Games go with all these free updates? They've more than made up for the initial mistakes.
NMS is very much about my own slow, solo journey through the cosmos so I'm not really interested in hooking up with other players, but this sounds like it could be really neat nonetheless. Excited to see what else they have cooking.
Kudos to Hello Games for supporting this with massive free updates for so long. As someone who loved it from Day 1 it's pretty incredible how far it's come.

At launch it was only sharing/naming animals and discoveries.
Foundation added base sharing ~6 months after release.
Atlas rises added dark souls esque shadow representation of up to 16 players in summer 2017.
NEXT added true MP for up to 4 players at a time, multiplayer missions, and community events to get players to congregate on planets and established a bunch of player made hubs.
They've been slowly expanding on the MP functionality with each major update.
EDIT: beaten above
They introduced 4 player online co-op in the last massive update last summer as before you could only see orbs of other players from the update before that. Sounds like they are expanding the online component even more.

All I want, is those stupid floating robots to go away. I hate that they are on every world and are constantly surveying you, kills the expansive feel.
It's incredible they are still supporting this, almost makes me feel bad for them... let me pay you for something...

I would love nothing more than to see my exotic ship up close in person in VR. I had fun in NMS when it had co-op, But we gave it up, VR would make us all jump right back in!
Major respect to Hello Games. I thought the harassment and demonizing of the team was way too far – was it a disappointment? Yes. Did they deserve an unending torrent of wildly venomous personal attacks? No fucking way – so it's good to see them working diligently since release on making the game into something better. Disappearing from view and just working on it for years was the right choice given the circumstances. And, honestly, it says more about the company than releasing a bad game lacking promised features after an out of control marketing and hype cycle.
This is a great point, they needed to reduce that big time. Hopefully something to replace that system is one of the planned features of this expansion.

Love their dedication I hope they can monetize this game in the future in some way cause I would love for it to receive a few more years of great support.
No Man's Sky is a brilliant game with excellent post launch support, even though I must say that the direction they`ve taken (base building, more player interaction, now a completely MMO experience) hasn't really been my cup of tea.
Will probably jump back in for the first time since launch when that new expansion hits.

From that teaser vid, it looks at least a couple of things can be surmised...looks like there's ship color customization now or they are expanding the color schemes that can be procedurally generated, because I don't I've ever seen that color combo on a ship in game so far.
And then of course there's that massive new landing area for, what? Revamped space station or Atlas? Massive new freighter type? Something else entirely new?

Really happy to see continued support, they really have turned the game around.
I actually had a good time with vanilla NMS but it definitely wasn't exactly what it was cracked up to be from the marketing and, let's politely say hopeful, comments from Sean pre-launch about what was possible

They get a big boost in new sales everytime they put up an update, not to mention their backlog of initial sales money. Im not surprised at this. They could probably do this for years more if they want to. This was their plan from the start after all.
EverytimeNMS updates I get the urge to play it. I put in about an hour or two of time and then fall off. I want to like this game so much more than I do. and true to form I'll pick up and play NMS more with this update. Hoping it sticks this time.
Turning NMS into a MMO type of experience is exactly the path I didn't want it to go down. Hopefully the other two mystery parts of this update offer more for single-player gameplay.
They are clearly not online related, as he explained they were meant to be quicker updates like Visions and the ocean one but they decided to combine them into one. Also calling it NMS Online might imply its still a mode you have to activate.
