Gaming No Man's Sky

I think some will certainly make it to the center, eventually, but I have a feeling most will abandon the game before they even get close. I'm not sure this game will have the kind of longevity that a game like Eve has

Depends how much fun it is and how much building a character can do. Some guys have mined, traded, built and fought in EVE for over a decade. They fly hundreds of billion "Isk" capital ships (I currently have 4 Billion in my account) that are impossible to kill for 99% of the players. I lost interest after a year but I'm not a super nerd and have an actual wife, kids and life.

The designers of EVE keep adding new tasks, solar systems, ships and options that keep players dumping money into the game. I imagine No Man's Sky will do the same.

This is pretty much the same demo that was shown in the 21 minute IGN vid. But, things go a bit differently once Anthony takes the controller

He kills every animal he sees. And has just a little bit too much fun doing it. And then posthumously names them all after him.

Ya know, I'd consider getting a ps4. But with Sony potentially selling a better ps4 this fall, they can go fuck themselves. There would be zero reason to get a system now only to be ripped off five months later when the price tanks.

I still dont know where they're going with that. Or what they're thinking. Until something happens I'm trying to remain neutral. For now, all it really sounds like its doing is unlocking more power for 4k gaming, and I'm sure it may have some applications for PSVR. But, I don't have a 4k TV, so..

Go read the other thread. Stuff is all but confirmed.

Well shit.

 

[IDAFC21]

Officially official. August 9th. Sigh. Sucks but I'd rather have a delay then for them release a half finished game.

 

[IDAFC21]

The game has finally gone gold! Bring on august 9th.

Was gonna post this when I got home from work cuz I thought no one else would. Good to know someones still paying attention

 

[Mook]

I really secretly hope this game sucks. Cause I kind of want it.

 

[IDAFC21]

The world will find out soon enough.

I don't buy many games but this one looks like it could be a lot of entertainment hours for the money.

Doesn't sound like they wanna do anything to effect the game or stop it from being released, but it is interesting how they worded that they want to sit down and have a "talk" w/ the developers.

So apparently a PS+ subscription WONT be necessary to access the online components of this game.

This is likely down to the fact that while players are technically sharing the game's universe, and could run into one another, No Man's Sky's 18 quintillion possible locations makes the chances of such an encounter (to wheel out an understatement) statistically improbable.

That makes the game's only likely online interaction the mapping and naming of said locations, something which Sony clearly deems single player-y enough an activity to waive the necessity of PS Plus (which is required to access the online multiplayer features of most other games on the console).

I'll be waiting patiently for your review.
