I love No Man Sky but feel that it is complete enough and the team should move on to new games.

sagapo72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

I believe they are working on a new game (Light No Fire), but hey, 6 years after release and still giving free content? Yes please!

thejigisup72d ago

They are indeed working on light no fire, it looks amazing.

VincentVanBro72d ago

Nah they continue to set a good example for how to approach supporting a game long term and still making a profit without needing to add mtx

They need to send Bethesda some chocolates.

jznrpg72d ago

They need to send them an engine too.

GamerRN72d ago

Does anyone remember how long it took for No Man's Sky to turn around and become good? I remember it being a year or two...

Kiryu199271d ago

No man sky had a team of less than 25 people for a while

Their offices got flooded and they lost a lot of their work

It was their first game and the pressure was on especially with Sony hyping it up along with Sean not knowing what to say PR wise

Now let’s compared that to Bethesda

They have a long history of making buggy games that gamers finished with mods

They had the backing of the biggest corporation in the world

Their team size was quite hefty

It took them 6-8 years of development

Yet what they release was simply like all their games before but in space and a lot less interesting

This is coming from someone who has never played NMS but I can understand what NMS team went through yet here they are years after still releasing major updates for free

And shouldn’t Bethesda had learned something from NMS experience? They should have made changes and proper adjustments but instead they were just riding on their past games hype( and that’s especially lazy because their last few games have been okay at best)

Fallout 4: bad story, average characters, a lot of bugs and decent gunplay

Starfield you can say the same thing about

thorstein71d ago

I earned the platinum trophy in August 2016.

I loved the game from the getgo.

Sean overpromised some things but it was "the Game to hate" at the time.

The journalism around it was weird, like with the Order 1886. Lots of hyperbole and some outright lies about the game made it to print.

It was a different game though. Very solo, feelings of being "out there on your own. "

You were tethered to your ship. If you went too far, you'd probably die.

I loved it from launch and lament some of the things that were lost. But it's a real amazing game especially in VR.

GamerRN71d ago

Team size almost doesn't matter, it takes a year to fix a game. Yeah they had less people, but they also had less game. Starfield is a very big game, hence the big team. It'll take a year to fix it. I'm hopeful they do, but if not, disappointing....

Fallout 4 to me had a great story and great gameplay and characters. Fallout 76 on the other hand ...

If you think Bethesda should have learned, than surely SIE should have learned before releasing Helldiver's 2...

Listen, games release in poor staffing these days, and we speak with our wallets.

Retro198672d ago

Im dont know much about this. When this guy posts teaser like this, how long time does it usually take before more information is given and/or this will be released ? 😊

thorstein72d ago

Well an update just went to PS5 today. Patch notes were on PS5 but they haven't been updated on the NMS website as yet.

Usually, they're simultaneous.

The game that keeps on giving 🦾🥳✌️

Christopher30d ago

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

Zeke6830d ago

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

The 10 PSVR 2 Games You Should Own

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

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos40d 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

crazyCoconuts39d 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.

Babadook739d ago (Edited 39d 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.

phoenixwing40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

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

mudakoshaka39d ago

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

phoenixwing39d ago (Edited 39d 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

mudakoshaka39d 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!

TheEroica39d ago (Edited 39d 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.

Neonridr40d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz40d 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.

Profchaos39d 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

MIDGETonSTILTS1739d 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.

talocaca39d ago

I have most of them 😅

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