The Digital High guys are back to deliver your weekly dose of gaming news and discussion. This week we each select our most anticipated game that’s releasing sometime later this year. Different view points change and a certain person’s temper flares when discussing No Man’s Sky. This and much more awaits you; let us know your opinion in the comments below.
Orbital update drops today, also bringing with it engine improvements and UI refresh.
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.
If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.
Speak with your wallet!
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.
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.
I have most of them 😅
Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
HelloGames:
Omega: Introducing Update 4.5
The OMEGA update invites everybody to embark upon a new shared interstellar expedition entirely for free, whether they already own No Man’s Sky or not. Featuring a complete overhaul of expeditions, new on-planet missions, claimable pirate freighters, and much more!
From 14:00 GMT, Thursday 15th Feb to 18:00 GMT, Monday 19th Feb, the entire Omega expedition will be open to everyone, entirely for free, even if you don’t own No Man’s Sky!
This is the best time for players old and new to come together and explore the universe.
I think there is a lot of excitement around No Man's Sky, but I don't think it is over-hyped or being over-hyped.
The excitement is around a game of this scale being built by a team of 4-5 people, accomplishing what many big AAA devs have not been able to do with millions and millions behind them in finances.
Over-hype was Titanfall, DMC, Watchdogs, GTAIV and some other big games that over promised.
No Man's Sky has excitement around it based on its scale, the team and what it has accomplished against all odds and the 70's sci-fi theme. The level of excitement is in context with what is being shown and detailed.
From the looks of it there will be a lot of exploration (discovering new species) and dog fights.
I'm not too worried about gameplay as other games have released with far less gameplay and replayability and have received rave reviews. Games such as Flower and Journey especially come to mind as both are very short experiences only lasting 3-5 hours each, have far less exploration and little to no replay value.
The SP alone in No Man's Sky sounds like it may deliver a 10+ hour campaign. I remember the dev saying your objective will be to explore and build a stronger aircraft to reach further parts of the galaxy until you reach the center of the galaxy. Sounds like they will be some sort of crafting and looting system too.
There is a lot of expectation for this game and from a small team. I would expect they'll be receiving all and any help they need from Sony.
This game is way over hyped. We haven't even seen actual gameplay just a quick done up trailer. This game could fall flat on its face when it comes out. Best to not board the hype train yet.
