This kind of game without an end fascinates me but I'm also afraid of it.

This is the most ambitious project that my eyes have seen at E3.

kaiserfranz3592d ago

It's most certainly one of the most ambitious games in development right now. I hope it will be possible to join a friend and play together, though, not fully sure on that.

Rainbowcookie3592d ago

I read it's possible to meet other players but it will be like journey. The dev joked if the are making a mmo they are being bad at it. Other online options will be when you discover something you can name it and others will see it, but it will have a latin name also so no-on can call everything penis monster etc. Let me get the link for you . http://www.joystiq.com/2014...

Mr Pumblechook3592d ago

A Gaffer called Lemonlyman concerned about the lack of gameplay or narrative created this No Man's Sky simulator http://www.joshandjayshow.c...

He made it as a joke but it does make you wonder about the genre. Hello Games say it has no narrative and describes it as being most similar to Minecraft.

Personally i'm very excited about NMS and I think Hello Games are holding back a few secrets!

sinspirit3592d ago

I think we should be able to leave holograms, that work just like messages in Demons Souls/Dark Souls, except you could chose to record a short instance of yourself to lead people to something and what not. God, I have so many ideas for games. I wish I were a story writer for games and could bring forth ideas for actual gameplay and features.

NO Quests = You have to create your own fun, and hopefully there are enough options to do that.

This game could be amazing.

3-4-53592d ago

* It's like back in the 90's and Creating your own games within games to extend replay value.

Maybe in your mind, you become an explorer who is trying to find a hope planet for your people and your the last hope.

Or

You are trying to build a community on One specific Planet and populate it or whatever idea you have ect....

Because it's so vast and big, it could be that game for you/me/us/we.

Palitera3592d ago

Me too.

Minecraft and Terraria kind of work like this, despite the bosses...

I wouldn't do it so open, so unended, that's for sure, but I have a ton of faith on them.

Nekroo913592d ago

Both of those games have a strong online component along with a crafting system.

Im hoping for a multiplayer mode

kaiserfranz3592d ago

It's a risk, absolutely. Let's hope it pays off, though!

micx3592d ago

It's interesting to us as well. A nice experiment, eager to see how it plays out.

OC_MurphysLaw3592d ago

Its interesting for sure. A Minecraft kind of approach of just go out and explore. I do wonder though if a lack of any kind of narrative direction could hurt the game.

WeAreLegion3592d ago

So great. How much is there to do? We can attack other ships, yes. But what else? Can I build a house?

burneddude3592d ago

You can also upgrade your ship to have better weapons and be faster.

kaiserfranz3592d ago

I suppose so. There's gathering, so there will have to be crafting.

Palitera3592d ago

Do you know which kind of gathering? This seems to be the core of the progression and it interests me.

Fixay3592d ago

SO what do I actually do? Just explore?

I really liked the look of this game and when the developer was on stage at E3 you could clearly see he was overwhelmed just being there. Seemed very humble

kaiserfranz3592d ago

I admit that much is unclear at this point. Exploring seems to be the main theme of the game, I just hope it's not the only one.

Fixay3592d ago

Yeah I really do hope they have an element of building or some kind of home lol

I don't want a minecraft clone or anything but exploring in the day to find cool stuff and then returning home at night to build etc was pretty fun.

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.

kevco3332d ago

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

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos32d 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

crazyCoconuts32d 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.

Babadook732d ago (Edited 32d 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.

phoenixwing32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

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

mudakoshaka32d ago

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

phoenixwing32d ago (Edited 32d 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

mudakoshaka32d 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!

TheEroica31d ago (Edited 31d 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.

Neonridr32d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz32d 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.

Profchaos32d 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

MIDGETonSTILTS1732d 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.

talocaca32d ago

I have most of them 😅

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