Hello Games announced No Man's Sky NEXT, the upcoming big update for their game that will hit PC, PS4. The game and all its content released so far will also hit Xbox One this year.
great news. When I sold both my PS4's some months ago now it was this game that I missed most. That and Drive Club which proved a lot more fun than Forza Horizon. NMS has grown quite a bit since it first launched and I'm also very interested to know what the next big update will be on top of that. Very welcome news for me
I think No Man Sky is a perfect "low intensity" game. I pick it up every now and then, between work, life and other games, doing small things bit by bit, slowly getting close to 100hrs played (a LOT for me).
I liked it in his 1.0 version, I preferred then in some ways, it wonderfully conveyed the feeling of being truly alone, and millions miles away from everything.
I still think it's a must to play it without any patch, at least for a couple of hours, before looking at all the newest content.
I look forward to this new update, i'm curious what new things it'll bring to the table, but secretly I always hope they would actually dial down on some things, to get back to that initial sense of loneliness, and the hopeless feeling of being infinitely far away from anything.
After no man's sea ended up having no content (to no-ones surprise) I'm sure no man's sky will be a welcome addition to the xbox library. Strong rumours that it's getting VR support too which I really hope are true.

I love how the concept art leads you to believe it's a multiplayer game (which might have made this worth playing more than a few hours).
An update a while back actually made it multiplayer. At least to the extent of having visible floating representative orbs of players who were in close proximity and you could leave messages for others to read...basically the same sort of MP integration as a souls game. Seems likely this new update is going to go all the way and have visible avatars and finish what they initially had planned? That would be nice.

I think multiplayer would make sense with deep interaction between players (trade, combat, whatever), but it would also mean making basically a second game almost from scratch.
Being this mostly a slow solo adventure, honestly still I fail to see why everyone want multiplayer in here so badly.

Right. I think programmable shaders were adopted fairly early on consoles (xbox360/ps3) (2 Days ago)

@toelessfoot: Well, only recently they have been. I think this is the first gen I've seen where PC's are playing catch up. Not through hardware power, but through development cycles (2 Days ago)

Yeah I think innovations on the console side are taken up more quickly by PC than vice versa because consoles are really lead platform for everything (2 Days ago)

At least for most gamers. Similar to when everything went to pci-e (3 Days ago)

I think we could be seeing a dramatic shift in PC hardware where it'll be essential to own both an SSD and a next gen card with the api's to use them. That also would probably require new motherboards (3 Days ago)

If a game is built from the ground up to take advantage of that, though... (3 Days ago)
