The clouds definitely improved between NEXT and Visions on PS4 while on the planet. The problem is that the cloud outline from orbit (in all its pixelated glory) is still visible from INSIDE the freighter. Hopefully that is fixed tomorrow.

I'm curious to try this again after only briefly playing it at launch and not being completely invested at the time. The game in that state felt massive but empty, and it lacked much progression if I recall. Elite Dangerous was a serious hobby of mine for a time, so I like the general genre. I'm interested in seeing how I feel about it after all of the massive changes that have occurred since launch. And kudos to the devs for not monetizing that. I also low-key hope that it's capturing enough to push me over the edge on finally buying a PSVR. I think this game would be trippy as hell in VR in the best possible way.
Yeah you never know what you might find in this game, I'm sure there are rules to the procedural creation but sometimes it seems like rules are broken. I totally found a huge creature so big that I could walk beneath it's belly before they supposedly didn't exist in the game. I also found a water planet, like 99.9% water, when planets supposedly all looked the same. Haven't seen any mountains that big though but it's cool to know you can stumble upon those as well.
Anyway...
Hyyype!
Is there a countdown timer somewhere so I know when Beyond is up?
Played some Astro Bot yesterday on PSVR and man, I hope it will look at least as good in VR as this, specially the clarity of Astro Bot was a huge factor in why you felt you're inside that world.
I really hope they got the resolution right. A bad res in NMS could ruin the whole feature for me.
Oh and of course the controls and tracking and stuff and maybe even more importantly, the scale. I have the most problems with VR games when the scale isn't right, which happens in 90% of all games, when you standing in a room but you, literally, feel that something is off, like the room is too high or the doors too big or the gun in your hand is 30% bigger than a real one and sometimes you can't even pinpoint it, you just know something isn't right.
This VR mode could be a hit or miss, there is just too much you can do wrong here.
Let's just hope for a homerun.😶

No one knows when the update will drop, only speculation. I'm about to try to sleep and hope the patch notes are up when I wake up!
If we're basing it on the previous updates, then 9AM EST, 6AM PST.
About 7.5 hours from now. If I knew which site offered free dynamic images for countdown purposes, I'd make one and share it here.

For me it's the opposite. I always feel that I'm too big in the game. I have a demo of some game I think got abandoned (planetrism) but I willl say it got scale perfectly and it is amazing how much more immersive very is when scale is right (it was suppose to be about settling a planet I think). Most other games always feel off like you say. Just for me it seems like they all have scale too small.
Perfect!! :D I'm just about to go to work and get the kids to school, so now we all have something cool to look forward to later.
I'm so ready for Beyond. Played through the main game back when it came out and actually had a really good time with it. Now that they've FINALLY implemented a VR mode (it was always the dream ) I can't wait to jump back in and immerse myself in what I hope feels like a completely different experience.
I recall after one of the major updates I was playing with folks and we were on a planet with some pretty massive mountain-like structures. Had to fly up to get to the level areas.
In fact, on the planet I'm on right now there are some decently sized small mountains. I'll record a quick clip to see how far up the mountain beside me goes.
Wait we have actual mountains now? I only dabbled a little after the last big update but did not see mountains that were bigger than before ( or valleys and canyons that were deeper)
I am hoping that VR will change the feeling of scale for me, it did so in skyrim. Everything felt bigger than before.
It seemed like the game got mountains fairly early on when one of the first terrain adjustments was done. I remember a couple taking me ages to reach the top but I've not seen anything like those since. I figured they had been removed after another adjustment to the terrain but could be just poor luck in finding them I guess.
I remember after one of the updates we found some pretty nice canyons, and some big mountains. The planet I'm on has some decently sizes mountains, but they aren't nearly as tall as the ones I remember we were in awe of.
Okay that's bigger than I remember.
But the scale seen on a planetary basis is still way off but I suppose that is a technical limitation.
Best believe I'm using all the time I can to get the OT as cram-packed as possible based on the last one but.. a little spruced up. Looking to use the next 3hrs if I can before posting, but if they catch me with my pants down I can post within ~10m of knowing. Hoping for a UK afternoon launch though, so I can get it to where I'm happy and can jump into VR with everyone.
I'm up for a few more hours, working to pass the time. If I get this before I go to bed, I'm be one sleepy ass dude at work, lol. I've waited since the day I got No Man Sky for this day to happen.
Since we're taking the larval lamptramps to the sealife centre this morning I too am looking forward to a civilised 13:00 UTC start :)
Oh have a wonderful time, and yes – hopefully they're working to respect both of our busy schedules with their global release ;P
Sure please, I'm interested.
I think I know what you mean. It's a weird mix, items mostly feel too big and large and some objects are massive like doors, but in general I agree, at the same time you as person feel bigger and too big for the rooms your in, it's sometimes that both doesn't work, it seems that's really hard to nail for some devs.
C'mon Hello Games! Give me a morning Europe update release just this once! I'm leaving for vacation in like 7 hours.
Today's the day folks. Looking forward to starting fresh with the new updates.
Did I miss the new OT?

They always do these large updates when I'm away on holiday....
2 hours in a jam after a lorry of batteries has melted the Autobahn... Time to cut our losses and get home, perhaps before we hit friday.
And I really do wish Devs would check my calendar when they schedule such things, I'm frightfully busy ;)
I wanted to play a bit before work, but the update wasn't online this morning (2 hours ago)
Oh well, I'll have an hour after work to try before going to the cinema, and tomorrow is a bank holiday here, so plenty of time to explore space in VR instead of sleeping :)

I can't belive I'm thrilled more than three years ago.
I did not expect that, and I'm happy this is my only week off until xmas.

Any impressions for PSVR. I am a bit concerned about performance and image quality tbh. But if those are good enough I will buy it. And how does all this shared universe stuff even work without PS+?
If it's anything like it is now, you will be able to see the bases of other players without PS+. Also, you ARE able to see other players, but only as silhouttes/orbs you can voice chat with, but do little else with. Only with PS+ can you actually join a session, see the other player model, their ships/freighters/fleet, etc.
I jumped the gun and purchased it from the PS store (its 50% off in EU). Wanted to wait a bit for player impressions on the whole PSVR implementation, but all previews are superb and the hype intensifies. Plus it will be my first dive into the game since it's launch in 2016 and I have a great feeling I'm in for a ride.
Well that's good enough for me. I think this is a game better enjoyed alone for some nice escapism.If it's anything like it is now, you will be able to see the bases of other players without PS+.
