PS4 Timed Exclusive No Man's Sky: Massive Confirmed Feature List Details Ships, Universe and More

Indie Developer Hello Games are currently working on "No Man's Sky", the game is heavily marketed to be focused primarily on exploration and discovery and unique one, but is it correct? Reddit user Vyper248 has compiled a massive list of confirmed features of No Man's Sky. Its a great list along with evidence and answers a lot of fan's questions regarding the title.

Thantalas3514d ago

This game deserves to be released on Blu-ray.

bouzebbal3514d ago

@TimeSkipLuffy:
gamespot confirms that Edge confirms that MNS is coming to PC.. now how is that a reliable source?
do you have a source from developer's mouth?

Monster_Tard3514d ago (Edited 3514d ago )

@adzdiine Is it really that hard for you to believe? the managing director Sean Murray did an interview in Septembers Edge magazine. Here is a digital version of the magazine, it's on page 71 where he confirmed it was coming to PC.

Gh05t3514d ago (Edited 3514d ago )

@abzdiine

Wouldn't EDGE be the source hearing it from the developer?

I for one don't subscribe so I didn't read it but if EDGE did the interview and they reported that it was coming to PC that would be the source. Why do you have reason to doubt EDGE was making this up?

@Monster_Tard Awesome link thank you... didn't know that existed.

Major_Glitch3514d ago (Edited 3514d ago )

So it's not really an "exclusive" then. Am I the only one that wishes the term "timed exclusive" would just disappear?
EDIT: Regardless of it's exclusivity, this game has piqued my interest. Definitely going to keep an eye on it.

UltraNova3513d ago (Edited 3513d ago )

One thing "You can name whatever you discover first" !

I'm already thinking about mods on the PC version where I would really like to fill a planet with MILFs and call it planet MILF-LAND...

Imagine the possibilities...Yeah...

Its still an exclusive guys.

;-) Console exclusive.

dragunrising3513d ago

I expect an Xbox One release down the line. Just like Sony tried to convince/ confuse people that Diablo 3 and Destiny were exclusive. Their new tactic is to not buy real exclusives, rather hide the release or timed exclusivity they inked a deal for.

Hellsvacancy3513d ago

Lol, this here is your typical Xbox fan "Their new tactic is to not buy real exclusives, rather hide the release or timed exclusivity they inked a deal for"

Copying Microsoft at their own game, have fun with Tomb Raider, I KNOW what i'd rather play

KentBlake3514d ago

This, The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne are my most anticipated titles right now.

But this has me worried:

"The planets within the universe will have a 10% chance of having life on them, with 90% of them having no life on at all. Of the 10% that does have life, 90% of that will be primitive and boring. So the lush garden worlds with more evolved life forms on will be rare"

So, if I'm not mistaken, only 1% of the planets will have a really interesting wild life...I wonder if it won't make the game a little boring.

elazz3514d ago

With millions of planets there'll be several 10k of interesting planets. Guess that's awesome. It's not that you'll get into major groundbreaking events on every planet you visit. This is an exploration adventure game

KentBlake3514d ago

I agree with you...if there's a groundbreaking event on every planet, they cease to be groundbreaking, of course.

I'm not saying the game won't be glorious, because it probably will. But it has to have other things to do and see apart from wild life, or else it will probably become boring.

That said, I'm buying it DAY ONE for sure. Or even before day one, if they have a pre-order bonus.

donthate3514d ago (Edited 3514d ago )

I really don't understand this game at all. What is the point of it?

Just randomly jump onto planets and every 1 out of a 100 you might see something computer generated interesting life? There might be some narrative, but it is up to you to make something out of it?

Sitdown3514d ago

@YouAreSalty
We are in the same boat. I also could never get into SmashBros and the first little big planet. It's crazy because so many people love them, and I have no clue why or I guess how to play them.

mayberry3514d ago

I imagine that the most interesting worlds will be broadcast via the new, next-gen tech such as "share", "twitch" etc.. and I also predict that they will be GRAND in scope and scale. This will fuel the fire of exploration to the world-wide gaming community to try and "best" the discoveries!
Wonders abound!

BitbyDeath3513d ago

@Salty, same thing as Minecraft I suppose.
I'm iffy on it as well but am interested to hear more about it.

Ozmoses3514d ago (Edited 3514d ago )

Yeah this isn't just about cool creatures and stuff..

Each planet is it's own separate location with unique features...

If a game that carries an idea as great as this one doesn't get your gamer juices flowing, than I don't know what will.

KentBlake3514d ago

In my first sentence I said this is in my top 3 most anticipated titles, so it sure does get my "gamer juices flowing". In fact, I'm completely amazed but the simple possibility of these guys delivering 10% of what the game seems to be. It's a mind boggling concept, and the first game to have NEXT GEN written all over it, really.

I'm just worried about what is on all these planets that don't have an awesome wild life. If they have other nice things to do and see (not all of them, of course), I'm ok with that.

NexGen3514d ago

Hidden artifacts, caves to explore/mine, cash money, a place to duck from a space battle, etc. Mainly money, I'd assume.

Sounds awesome to me...planets have general requirements to harbor organic life (mercury is too hot, some planets are too cold, etc.).

UnwanteDreamz3514d ago (Edited 3514d ago )

Kent how many planets have life in our solar system? The idea is to explore space. Do you have any idea how far the nearest solar system to us that could have life is. Im a fan of science fiction so I know their source material. Alot of people wont like or get this game because they dont understand the influences that made it. This wont be about space marines or alien invasions.

jmac533513d ago

Plus you get to stake your flag in the planet and claim the discovery for yourself.

thejigisup3514d ago

I believe that will encourage exploration. As stated below exploration shouldn't net ground breaking events always, that would make them not ground breaking.

I definitely can't wait to see the madness people come up with, like the genuinely imaginative ones. My goal is to find an advanced life form and name the inhabited planet jig prime. Ill hope to create my dynasty there and hopefully await other players so I can defend my new home.

DanteVFenris6663514d ago

It's trying to be realistic... Barely if not only us have really any life

UnwanteDreamz3514d ago

Only one planet in our entire solar system has life that we know. Some of you guys need school. Sure the universe could be filled with life but we are talking unfathomable distances. I hope gamers dont ruin this game.

Kryptonite42O3514d ago

At the very least, the boring planets could have some useful resources on them... so at least there will be a reason/reward to visiting the boring planets.. who knows.. but I agree.. It would kinda suck if you have to fly around for 1-2 hours before finding anything interesting.. but I have a good feeling that Hello Games have taken that into consideration. It sounds like they really covering their bases and are trying to polish the game and will continue to do so after its released.

cant wait for this game!

Redgehammer3514d ago

Also, the wording of its E3 reveal leaves open the possibility that it, may, potentially makes its way to Microsofts console. Sounds fun, I hope it's as fun as it appears, for all those that get to play it.

avengers19783514d ago

Though no official announcements have come out... I think every gamer deserves a chance to play this game... No matter there platform... So for XB1 owners I hope it does eventually make it's way to that console.

Just like I hope Tomb Raider comes to PS4

iceman063514d ago

They've always said that they were open to any ideas. However, they are a small team. So, they have to focus on one platform at a time.

kingvendrick3514d ago

Game is gonna be absolutely epic. Can't wait.

vega2753514d ago

I should have my new pc by the time this game comes out. Cant wait to play it on it. Hope it will support 4k rez on pc version

The 10 PSVR 2 Games You Should Own

If you're looking for 'must have' PSVR 2 games then look no further. These are the 10 titles every PSVR 2 owner should have in their library.

kevco3331d ago

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

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos31d 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

crazyCoconuts31d 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.

Babadook731d ago (Edited 30d 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.

phoenixwing31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

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

mudakoshaka31d ago

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

phoenixwing31d ago (Edited 31d 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

mudakoshaka31d 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!

TheEroica30d ago (Edited 30d 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.

Neonridr31d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz31d 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.

Profchaos31d 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

MIDGETonSTILTS1731d 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.

talocaca31d ago

I have most of them 😅

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