No Man's Sky on PSVR2: glorious, overwhelming space exploration

Vikki Blake: "But my word, it's been some time since a game made me gasp aloud the way I did when I fired up my thrusters and whooshed up into the air for the first time… and it's hard to deny the full capabilities of what VR – and indeed, No Man's Sky’s VR edition – can offer than when a video game can make you feel like that."

Can anyone confirm if the latest patch:

https://n4g.com/news/254211...

Has increased the resolution for PSVR2 yet? Game is amazing in VR, but I want clearer visuals in the distance before I put much time to it. looking forward to it, so hoping it's better now.

Neonridr401d ago

I'm curious to know as well

sagapo401d ago

Didn’t they increase the res up to 4k with the release of the PSVR2? Fractal update 4.1 that is. https://www.nomanssky.com/f...

No that update is the one we on now which has the slighty blurry image and we awaiting a new patch for clearing up the image.

They need to use eye-tracked foveated rendering. If they patch that in, the clarity boost will be huge. That's when I'll jump in again, because the controls have already had a massive overhaul for the better! It should reduce any pop-in too, thanks to freeing up processing potential.

No man’s sky is certainly cool in psvr2 for sure. The only bummer is sometimes it makes you even more aware of the limited graphics of the game. Still super cool tho. Physically grabbing the controls of your ship is really neat - mildly frustrating at first, but once you get it down it’s cool.

I don't have a VR and not planning on getting one, but playing games like No Man's Sky and Gran Turismo in VR must be awesome I imagine.

that being said, let's hope this time the release date finally sticks. Looking forward to playing this in VR.

From the devs regarding the last delay. 120 FPS native with high quality shadows.

"Our ambition is to create a realistic and daunting atmosphere with MADiSON VR. And we achieved this through realistic real-time lighting and shadows. These elements heavily utilise the CPU on all
platforms. To make this possible in VR, we use a technique called "Single-Pass Rendering" so that resource- heavy operations are only done once per frame. Unfortunately, our use of this previously precluded us from also using the eye-tracked dynamic foveated rendering (DFR) feature on PSVR 2, as the Unity PSVR 2 implementation had a known issue with this combination. Without DFR, it would have only been possible to release using the 60/120 (interpolation) mode, which worked adequately, however we always felt fell a little short of the quality we were striving for. As of 22nd March Unity's new SDK-now opens up DFR and by extension the possibility to hit the gohz mode. A last minute
improvement we simply can't ignore."

Unity fixing this issue is good news for PSVR2 in general.

This sounds very interesting, Superhot was a great game to take inspiration from.

evawillms1835d ago (Edited 5d ago )

It's impressive!

Babadook75d ago (Edited 5d ago )

I liked the VR version of SUPERHOT. If this ends up being as good I'l pick it up (once available) for PSVR2.
