No Man's Sky Next Trailer
- Thread starter Solidsnakejej
- Start date
There IS a preorder bonus for Xbox folks with a different suit, but beyond that, I dunno.
I was one of the weirdos who put a lot of time into the original release and enjoyed my time with it. I fell off it pretty hard though, it got very samey.
This latest update looks fantastic, I will be reinstalling when it's available. Looking forward to it.

Looks pretty damn awesome. I may get it on Pc and restart. The third person shift seems like a pretty big change to gameplay.
The feature set you can prey on players and be a pirate.
So...has the creature generation gotten better then? Last time I asked this people said no, but you seem to be implying it has changed in the past and this update will also change it? Because that's what I'm talking about and I don't get why people are having a hard time understanding something so simple.
Third-person is neat because it almost makes environments looks better, in a way, since you always have something in the center of the screen to use as a reference for things like scale and whatnot!
A question for those playing the game. What is there to do besides explore for someone interested in the game as a singleplayer experience? What kind kind of content should I expect out of a random planet?
I haven't really been paying much attention to the updates post release. What's build anywhere? Is it basically minecraft now?
The bigger bases, and having multiple anywhere means exploring planets is gonna be a lot more interesting. Everyone can see them now. So basically, the creativity of the player base has added the 'procedural cities' people were hoping for, except they are cool and custom now.
I'm certainly gaining interest in jumping back into NMS for this update, but I own the copy on GoG. We gonna get screwed over again?
Second update made you able to find a predefined base spot on a planet, and build your base in that area, only one per planet, and you could also only have one in total. So like a home planet. The OP notes seem to mean you can build everywhere now.
I completely agree. I dislike fpp, so the fact that it has third person perspective now is really intriguing, and I always thought the base building was pointless before because no one else could share it. If we have a persistent world where everyone can build and share everything that's genuinely interesting, and depending on how it goes I may be enticed to try it out after not playing since launch.
You can share bases now in the game, but its still limited to specific locations and 1 per planet.
All the updates prove is an attempt to add to and expand the game at no additional cost to the player. It doesn't have anything to do with how the game was wilfully misrepresented, particularly when it came to 'seeing other players'. Many games have development troubles, but far fewer see the controversy No Man's Sky saw, and that's for a reason.
This is a great trailer, makes that patch seems like 5x as big as the "massive" next update, which is weird. Hope there is more in it.
I wouldn't really worry about it. The scale of the game is such that you can easily find your own little "corner" of a galaxy if you want to and never make contact with anyone else. The likelihood of someone just stumbling on your location is vanishingly small. I've got over 300 hrs logged on the current version of the game, which has a limited MP feature currently and I've not once encountered another player without actively going to search for them based on location info they've provided.
Trailer is a different format. Next will have more shit than that update. In fact they may also do that style trailer and release it the day before release, like they have always done.
Hopefully those high-alert/frenzied planets have patrols or something?
Wouldn't those be purely optical though? I'm not even sure whether the rings are also not just optical.
Would make systems look more varied though, true.
Ah thanks, was gonna ask if there was somewhere we can read about the older patches.
Whoa, the whole thing is shared now? I'm curious how they managed to get that to work, considering they couldn't even get something as basic as finding the discoveries of other players at launch.
Definitely interested in getting back into this if they've actually made it a good game now.

It'd be cool if any base made in someone's game becomes an abandoned and desolate base in someone else's game.
I don't really like building bases but I like exploring them.

Fauna generation improved with the Atlas Rises update, and creatures saw greater variety (rather, the parts were put together in a more realistic manner, which helped creatures not look as goofy / repetitious).
It is reasonable to expect more improvements in these areas, but it is still too early to ask these questions of the NEXT update until players have some time to dig into it an explore. Everything is procedurally generated, after all, so exploration needs to happen before these conclusions can be made.
How many free updates has this game received now? Some total world resets?
Any and all hate/criticism directed at the game should be dismissed. They've done so much more than neede or expected.
The initial release was troubled but still was the core game they promised. They have gone above and beyond.
I guess i am in for a 4th play through.

I need the animals to have a complete rehaul before I can go back. I want my original trailer dinosaurs
That said I feel like they'll get there. This is really promising

I think for memory reasons there will still be a piece limit per base, but hopefully its still large enough.,
Should be old game of the year. Amazing before this update. Bought it at launch since I was curious about people being that upset. Found the game to be good but a little flat. Still played a lot and spent about 50 hours or so when Atlas Rises released.
With gas giants they could have harvesting stations floating in the atmosphere, storms, density increases gradually to the point where the vapor is liquid, element harvesting, gas sack aliens, etc.
This will be their 3rd update, I believe. They had a smaller one post launch, and then Atlas Rises, followed by NEXT.
Also, NEW RULE: Ignore any and everyone who is coming in these threads two years after launch to tell us all how we still need to hold Hello Games accountable. Just ignore them and let them fester in their angst.
I'm not completely sure about this, "can be built anywhere" and "multiple bases" could mean you could cover an entire planet in bases, or you can just build one way more complex base per planet now, but still only one per planet and are allowed to own "multiple" as in, on several planets.
Hope it's the former but it seems a bit unrealistic.
You have to give Sean Murray and his team a ton of credit here. They have devoted their lives to redemption after what happened with the initial launch.
Glad I was able to get a refund for the fake early access version from Amazon.
This looks better but not very interesting imo.
Not really when the launch being a shit show was completely their fault.
It's the bare minimum they should have done.

Same here. And there's nothing weird about picking up a game at launch and enjoying it. It would be weirder to not play something based on some tribal group think about why a thing is bad.
I don't think criticism of their behavior should be dismissed. It's still true that things at launch were the way they were.
I do believe in redemption, though, so if a great game is ultimately delivered - even if it's way late - I can forgive and forget.
Huh, I never thought of that, those are good ideas. Or maybe like an artifical ring structure around a gas giant that you can walk on, basically an artifical planet, like from Stellaris?
OP
OP
Looks great, will pre order it on Xbox when it's finally there but I'm a bit confused, only played it at release but I can't really see where people see the "better graphics" or "completely redid graphics". It looks exactly the same to me. You can see the grass being rendered 20 meters away from him while he runs and you still see aliasing. Also, what the fuck is this ring mess in space? The shadow is weird, the planet is in front of the rings and not in the middle of it, what happened there?
Rings can be so thin that it can have that translucent effect, here is a picture of Saturn from NASA's Cassini mission, Its a pretty cool effect
Thank you! That's everything I wanted to know. I'm glad they put some effort into that stuff previously. Excited to get back to this game!
Is this confirmed, with no way to opt out? I hate multiplayer and I'm not about to play something that forces it on me.
This is how I feel. The game was still pretty interesting at launch, despite some missing elements from pre-release footage. They've gone far beyond what they originally pitched / showed audiences, and I'm hopeful that this will do well on XBO so they can continue to develop experiences like this.
I may purchase a physical copy for the kid I mentor just so I can support them with all they do.
