No Man's Sky - How A Seemingly Impossible Game Is Possible

If there's one comment louder than all the praise that No Man's Sky has been getting, it's got to be something along the lines of, "Wow, how is that even possible?"

odderz3598d ago

Minecraft has shown the benefits to procedurally generated game worlds, but I'm scared that game worlds that use that method might be a bit bland. I mean, the best setpieces and views in games have traditionally been made by people, and they take hours of painstaking building.

I just don't want these worlds to lose their beauty. No Man's Sky is do or die for me.

Tony-Red-Grave3597d ago

I see games like minecraft and no mans sky as more of being building blocks for these types of games. Just think of all the possibilities we could see from MMOs, EVE comes to mind right away, once this concept is expanded upon. Minecraft, although it's not my cup of tea, proves that these types of games can be mainstream and sell well.

It takes expert coding to be able to pull off what these guys are doing. I'm not too excited yet because I know absolutely nothing about the gameplay or story, but these dudes should be commended for their talents. Something like this takes real genius and they pulled it off with a 6 man team.

http://www.joystiq.com/2014... I really recommend checking out this hands on. It's very informative on the gameplay elements.

I always wanted a game where you can just cruise around the universe and discover new stars and land on planets and just explore and come in contact with others. This game seems like it might fulfill my dream. Hope to see more of it soon and get a release date.

XiSasukeUchiha3597d ago

This game is offical in my collection.

pandehz3597d ago

I wish they dont fail.

The indie community has a AAA challenger.

The game that keeps on giving 🦾🥳✌️

Christopher28d ago

The support they've given this game only makes me more interested in their next game.

Agree, curious what they are cooking up for that one?!

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

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos37d 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

crazyCoconuts37d 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.

Babadook737d ago (Edited 37d 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.

phoenixwing37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

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

mudakoshaka37d ago

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

phoenixwing37d ago (Edited 37d 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

mudakoshaka37d 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!

TheEroica36d ago (Edited 36d 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.

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

NotoriousWhiz37d 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.

Profchaos37d 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

MIDGETonSTILTS1737d 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.

talocaca37d ago

I have most of them 😅

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