No Man's Sky gets a new update in Summer called "Next"; coming to XB1, too
- Thread starter Turkoop
- Start date
Best post I have read on this forum this year. Nice one. And I agree entirely.
Last time I played it was literally mine the thing to mine thing to mine the thing, with a bit of flying about and an infuriating inventory management sim chucked in. Is the gameplay still the same?
Me too.. Don't care about base building actually. I want exotic planets that uses a different blue print then all the other planets because they are basicly the same. One other thing which probably will never be a fact; completely deserted planets/systems.
I'm glad for your guys
No Mans sky as it is now is pretty fantastic.
I've very much enjoyed my time with No Man's Sky since curiosity drove me to pick it up in a sale. I'm interested to see what's in store for this update, and also to see what the Xbox community make of the game.
Im curious for the update, got it for £6, so price will be interesting, played 6h of the game, enjoyed it, after all the updates. So probably will return for the 7th hour or more. Wish people would move on now with the old news and look to the future, theyve done all they can to get back all the good will. I literally cant see them do anymore. Anyhow, interested in this update and looking forward to it, just wish people would stop crying about a problem from 2 years ago and move on. Refunds were very easy to get too.
Ill pick this up for my X, was always interested in trying this.
People still complaining 2 fucking years later are ridiculously embarrassing. Get the hell over it

If this funds more development on the game, make it so.
Have noted elsewhere (social media) a few tiresome "better not be full price" comments. It should cost precisely what it cost when released new on PS4.

I know it won't happen, but NMS being released directly on Game Pass would be GREAT.
Doesn't help that Microsoft's development strategy over the past few years means that there is a huge lens over everything that they do.
What? It should be the same as the other versions now because you get the same content as the other ones. When you own both a PS4 and an Xbox One and don't own the game yet, where does it make sense that one version is substantially more expensive than the other one?
Definitely this might be part of the reason but it's still double standards.
It is a new game for the platform. You can get it cheap on PS4 as it is at the end of its release lifecycle, this is the start of its XB1 lifecycle.
Unfortunately, this has to be repeated. It's happened several times now with Sony-backed games, yet there's no outrage. All those #4theplayers pro-consumer knights in shining armor suddenly don't seem to mind anymore.
Which is a damn shame, because it's really not good for the players, no matter who does it.
I really hope this update can make NMS the game I want it to be, or at least gets it closer to it. I'm glad they are still surporting it though because the engine is really impressive, they just need to add content. The top of my list is real co-op though, I've been begging for that since day one with this game.
Discuss the game and update instead of this crap. You're always about this life.
And that's how it will be remembered. Not that Murray was confirming they were still a self funded company (a fact kept from the public, for a year, by the media) as Sony were saying they were treating it as 1st party. Or that last year he admitted they ran out of money making the game at GDC.
There is so much crap swept under the carpet, it's led to massively ill informed narrative of the whole event.
You started with the cross-play bait on page 1 and then remarked: "it seems Sony bought a timed exclusivity here and made sure it won't hit the media so there was no public outrage", which is a cheap and dismissive way to describe Sony's support of Hello Games. If you followed any of the PlayStation indie team on Twitter you would understand that they have been involved with this project from an early stage, providing financial and technical backing, considerable stage time, and even helping them get back on their feet after their studio was flooded. Sony's support of No Man's Sky is comparable to Microsoft's support of Cuphead, irrespective of the exclusivity period.
No self awareness. None.
User Warned: Personal attack against a game developer.
Atleast XB1 gamers arent buying an outright lie and scam
As someone who paid 60$ for it at launch, it's definitely a better game now but still not good
Fuck that liar though, still pissed he never came out and admitted the "features" were not gonna make it in at launch. It was all "wow never expected two players to meet up that soon". A simple post mortem interview or statement about here's what happened. Nothing. And yeah some of the extreme people would never take anything as good enough, but for those of us who just wanted a little honesty and transparency after parting with 60 of our hard earned dollars, would have gone a long way
But apparently releasing content that was originally promised is now an admirable thing and better than other devs would have done so all is well
Honestly the biggest scam wasn't even the multiplayer. It was his whole "were not like other space games, our universe is vast and limitless and if you see it you can fly to it"
No Sean, each system is it's own puny little sandbox with a few planets. Surrounded by a fake ass skybox. You can never fly far enough to hit the sun or a star. And warping to other systems via light speed isn't just a faster way... it's the only way. And it's trying to mask the fact your just loading in the next small sandbox, you can't fly there naturally and it's not all one vast connected universe
Once that illusion is broken, trust me the game loses any and all immersion, makes you not care. It's pointless

Oh so when Sean was asked if you can know what you look like and he said "yeah well only if someone else sees you"
He meant everyone was a bright blue floating orb?
Lol
Sure...
Already has been, for the most part.
The base Inventory has been expanded
The generation algorithm was changed to make locales much more different
There is more purpose now then there was before
The progression to different galaxies is more or less the same, though.
I'm glad they are still supporting this game, cause it isn't what it's meant to be yet. And to the people defending Hello Games for releasing free updates... Seriously? Do you think they should cost any money after they released a broken and unfinished game? I don't hold any grudges to them, but IMO they are just doing what they have to to make up for the release of the game, even two years later.
The patches following launch have improved some of the procedural generation but overall progression, planets, animals and inventory are largely the same. They have added content to the game so far rather than replace anything, I doubt the new patch changes this.
Regarding purpose, the past patches added things like basebuilding and new ships/frigates to find/buy, and a pretty good new questline. So it is improved over launch, but again it's not a "revolutionary" change vs. vanilla.
I'd say if vanilla held nothing for you, then post patch probably wouldn't either.
This is certainly a surprise, especially with the Xbox One release. I'll probably get it for that, seems like a chill way to pass the time while on the couch.
The update? It wasn't unexpected at all because there is an ARG currently going on, just like the previous big update.
Take a break from this thread. This kind of attitude isn't healthy.
They purposefully and unapologetically lied about their product.
I didn't take part in the chaos at any point because I knew the game was a total farce and Murray was full of shit. I knew it would be yet another Fable or Spore. After a while, it's easy to detect bullshit.

This game has some of the best HDR so you Xbox guys are in for a treat. It gets overlooked in most lists of best HDR probably because of those who stopped playing. It's a very colourful game. Sound is amazing in this game too.
What does Murray's lies before launch have to do with the thread about the NEXT update and release on Xbox?

I think we can finally stop harping on Hello Games
The game has loads more content now and not one cent was demanded for any of it
They tried to bamboozle paying customers and got their just deserts
Happy to know they are working on redeeming themselves.
Will buy a copy myself as soon as NEXT launches
