70 Questions And Answers About No Man's Sky

No Man's Sky presents players with a practically infinite galaxy to explore. Needless to say, this raises a few questions. In an attempt to clear up exactly what this ambitious game is and isn't capable of presenting to players, Game Informer's Jeff Cork sat down with Hello Games founder Sean Murray to find the limits of No Man's Sky.

I would like o ask if this horrible pop-in will be removed in final version...

JMyers3424d ago (Edited 3424d ago )

The world is being generated as you move through it. It's not traditional pop in. If you watch an interview with the Devs, thay can atually can move so fast that they out run the word's generation. This pace is set in the released verion of the game to mitigate this.

To fix this whole planets will need to be created as you land on them, regardless of how long you stay or explore. This is a waste of processing power and the game will definitely not be able to run.

Serg3424d ago (Edited 3424d ago )

I'm worried that all the exposure for the game, which at face value is a very positive thing, will ultimately seal it's demise. The expectations for this are so monstrous, I doubt such a small indie studio can deliver on them. From what I gathered from various comments on different sites, people want this to be an Eve Online/Star Citizen/Minecraft/Avatar/Juras sic Park hybrid and I really doubt it will come close.

It also doesn't look like an indie game. It has very pretty 3D graphics, which are rarely associated with indie titles. This will only contribute to harsher judgement in the long run.

I am very excited for this, I'm just afraid it will drown in bad reception.

I have always wanted a game like this. I'm also clearly not alone. People want this to be all it can be and I just don't think it will measure up, unfortunately.

CptVimes3424d ago

It should be fun finding out though and that's all I can ask for.

jambola3424d ago

I find it a little worrying that over half of the questions where he was asked f something can be done, the answer was no

Angeljuice3424d ago (Edited 3424d ago )

Its an Indie game, not a parallel dimension.

jambola3424d ago

Yeah
but little things too i mean

Angeljuice3424d ago

I think that is part of the problem. When you announce that a Universe is practically infinite and that within that setting you make your own narrative, everybody develops their own ideas as to what should be possible within that Universe.

Everyone will have preconceived ideas in their heads with regards to what they would like to see/do in the game and not all of those will be possible.

As time goes by and more information is revealed, those infinite possibilities will inevitably become more and more constrained, leading to a sense of disappointment for many.

Serg's concerns are legitimate and we have to bear in mind that this game was initially being developed by a four man team (which I believe has now grown to approximately 20 people).

A lot of gamers will inevitably be disappointed by elements of this game unless they approach it with the right mindset.

SuperBlur3424d ago

My only hope is they keep updating it with new gameplay features and what not post game release a la Minecraft.

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos43d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts43d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook742d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka42d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka43d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

Neonridr43d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz43d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos42d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1743d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca43d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
