No Man's Sky Has Some Kind of Cryptic ARG Happening Right Now
- Thread starter Brodo Baggins
- Start date
Unless HG have completely overhauled the performance of NMS I can't see PSVR support happening. But this is certainly interesting!
Cant see how VR would work on PC given even people with 980tis like me cant get the damn thing to run at constant 60. I have to cap at 30 and just crank everything up. Frame pacing gets real bad at higher fps. Would need major optimization there.
They could limit it in some way. Maybe you just fly around in space?
I'm still hoping for an awesome attract screen where the camera just zooms around random star systems.
Maybe this patch includes a massive optimization pass. They have had time.
It's coming to mobile?Tweet got deleted so here is a screen
No, The latest puzzle was to use the app Telegraph to send the Hex code for Morpheus. He's just teasing a bit.
That would be pretty cool, like passing ghosts in a shattered universe
Man this coming to VR after the awesomeness that is WipEout VR....
Feeling the love as a PSVR owner.
Feels like a second wave with the price drop and all. Moss, WipEout, NMS (if true), Ace Combat 7 hopefully soonish. Just need Colony Wars!

Well I don't have a VR headset and don't think I'll ever get one. So normally I would've prefered them to spend their resources on other things. BUT, they have to do a major performance/optimization update to be able to make the VR version run acceptably on standard PS4. So I hope they add VR support just for that :P
You know, Ready Player One comes out tomorrow. Its about VR. The message said 1.5 ready to be loaded at 11am.
hmmmmmmmm
hmmmmmmmm
It's possible. I mean Sony seems to be doing a big PSVR push right now with the price drop, Wipeout VR coming out today, and updates to GT Sport's VR mode coming out in a couple hours. So a VR feature in NMS would make sense. If I was Sean I wouldn't want fuck all to do with Shu after the way Shu threw Sean and HG under the bus after NMS's launch, but business is business.
Still, VR is something only a small fraction of the playerbase would care about, so that wouldn't be the big feature of the update. My money is on a multiplayer-focused update, since they said that 1.3 was just the first step for MP. Plus the W/Are site alluded to a massive multiplayer, persistent sci-fi universe:

Probably coming to Xbox
I remember he was asked a long time ago and said "he couldn't talk about it"
Can these guys start charging for content already, makes me feel bad they still just working for free. I know that's insane to say... haha. I think they've rectified the issues for the most part.
There's been a good bump in sales after each update. They're fine.
Probably one of the advantages of being so few guys. It keeps cost low. If they where 200 this would not an option!
Multiplayer is only proximity chatting at the moment, wait for the next patch.
The game is a lot more fleshed out but it's not quite got the satisfying loop of Starbound as a space discovery game, which may happen with the patch.
Flying around space or driving around planets is very good if you don't need the more traditional gameplay loops.
I don't know if I could stomach the resurgence of NMS hate if they started charging for stuff tbh. There's a whole community of raging dicks just waiting to be reactivated.
They wouldn't dare do that after all the initial backlash, and especially not while the game itself is still $60. They're trying to do everything they can to avoid provoking further hostility; any paid content would blow up in their face like a nuke.
Where is the game still $60? This is one of those perennially-on-sale-for-£15 games these days.
Not on PC, at least. On Steam the game costs micu more than PSN.
Steam and PSN, at least in the U.S. It's gone for as low as $24 during the handful of sales it's had so far.
Whatever it is, is being announced shortly! (Clearly some sort of VR mode...)
EDIT: There's speculation on Reddit that this will be an 'Ambient Mode' which will allow you to passively explore planets/space as a tourist, rather than full integration of VR into the main game. This kinda makes sense, given how NMS struggles to hit 1080p/60 even on a Pro. A shame if true, though!

Huh. I own it on PS4 and PC, but I'll get it on my X.

PSVR is definately viable. All this talk of it can't run hold framerate is mute if they put VR mode behind a new game like they did for Survival and Exploration. The VR dedicated mode will then have parred back effects, draw distances etc and only be playable in VR. In this scenario you will not be able to play the VR mode in 2d and vice versas.
Well they've not really said what's in the update, but the big part is Xbox release I guess.
The announcement itself is small let's face it.
We've been following the arg a lot, so clearly this announcement wasn't intended to us.
We got to know it's released on another system but we already play it on something else, and we also get to know we have to wait even more...
Yeah im disappointed

Summer 2018...another anniversary update? August feels so far off I hope not, but I'll wait if it's as good as calling it next makes it sound
If they're going to add a new mode I would hope it's a sandbox mode that doesn't lock content behind grinding boring quests, which has been my biggest issue with the updates to the game since launch. Make it more like Minecraft, where it's open for us to do as we please with whatever we discover. You're probably thinking "there's Creative mode for that" but Creative mode gives you everything with zero danger nor need for resource gathering, which isn't what I'm looking for in this game: I still want the survival aspect.
Well that kills all enthusiasm knowing its Summer. Shit i thought the update would be soon. Makes this waking Titan stuff weirder. Wasnt something supposed to happen at 11? Or was the next announcement that? SM said it was a leak that forced him.
The announcement coming was almost certainly Xbox One. I'm guessing June for the update / release. It's usually a slower month and should be less competitive for the Xbox release.
Xbox was likely only part of the announcement, but they aren't ready to pull back the veil on everything they've got in the works, so they announced what was going to be leaked.
