No Man’s Sky is now under investigation for unrepresentative advertising. The game has been accused of the practice by the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority, or ASA, after receiving complaints from someone who is also serving as a source for Rock, Paper, Shotgun. The ASA has released a list of how the currently believe Hello Games falsely advertised their game. Videos: User...
Is No Man’s Sky the game we were promised? Arguably, no. However, one thing I don’t think anyone can argue about is the fact that a game should arrive with at least some standard in regards to stability. That is, it shouldn’t crash or lose saves constantly. In addition to the debatable quality of No Man’s Sky, the game was irrefutably bogged down by crashing bugs at launch. Seemingly...
With an endless universe comes endless issues. No Man’s Sky released early last month and received some patches on both PlayStation 4 and PC within days. Since then, developer Hello Games has been radio silent, presumably continuing to work on fixes for the highly anticipated game – director Sean Murray hasn’t tweeted in a full month. While Hello Games is continuing to work on fixes,...
Yes, Murray trumpeted his game like there was no tomorrow, but Sony handed him the megaphone.
One YouTuber out there has taken up the task of walking across entire gaming maps to test their size, all so you don’t have to! It’s for the science! Conor Kearney has applied this project before on several of gaming’s largest worlds, including Far Cry 2, The Witcher 3, all of the Grand Theft Auto cities, and, of course, Fallout 4. Naturally, no game out there provides a bigger...
Hello Games says they’re committed to making No Man’s Sky work. What the working version looks like and how it might compare to the lofty expectations once held by the gaming world remains to be seen. The studio is, however, working on it. In a post to their official site late last week, Hello Games indicated that their “focus is first on resolving any issues people have with the game...
ASMB Games has been forced to take down its spoof game No Mario’s Sky after Nintendo sent out a request for it to be removed from their site. The title is the latest to fall under Nintendo’s recent attempts to quash all fan games. Thanks everyone for playing and enjoying our little fan game. We would love to see an official Nintendo game in this style — a Mario Galaxy-style game in 2D...
For over two years, we waited for No Man’s Sky with bated breath. Promises of the kinds of exploration our favorite science fiction stories hinted at floated in our dreams. During that time, developer Hello Games did little to dissuade us from our fantasies, even when they weren’t even a little bit accurate. No Man’s Sky has been out for a few weeks now, and many people who bought the...
Thank you Mario, but our princess is on another planet! Well, this is certainly cheeky. Developers over at ASMB games have capitalized on the reputation of No Man’s Sky by offering a very similar 2D game… with a Mario skin! It’s almost like I’m looking at Terraria, which has always been a 2D Minecraft clone that used Final Fantasy V sprites to build its characters around. The biggest ...
Over the weekend, a handful of gamers on websites like Reddit and NeoGAF claimed that they were getting refunds for their copies of No Man’s Sky. Amazon, Steam, and even Sony, they claimed, were admitting that the game didn’t live up to expectations and had been breaking their usual refund policies to make an exception. Steam is now countering these claims in a statement on the...
