Screenshot Saturday: No Man's Sky is full of more than just skies
We’re still exploring No Man’s Sky, and we’re not quite ready to review it yet, though we’re definitely starting to get a handle on how we feel about it. In the meantime, though, we’re exploring like crazy and finding as many weird animals, plants, and rocks on as many planets and star systems as we can. Between gaming editor Joey and myself, we’ve seen skies of just about every color...
No Man's Sky's critical issues are getting a patch soon
If you’re surprised No Man’s Sky has a bunch of technical issues, don’t be. A tiny team – less than 20 people – put together a huge game made almost entirely out of procedurally generated content, and millions and millions of people are now playing it and finding every problem imaginable. It’s a perfect recipe for finding game-breaking, fun-stopping bugs. Hello Games is on it, and is...
No Man's Sky players are getting stranded due to pre-order bonus glitch
Finding yourself stranded is one of the worst feelings, whether it’s on the side of the road, a deserted island, or the far reaches out outer space. That last one, though, is one that some No Man’s Sky players are running into thanks to a pre-order bonus skipping over a crucial step in game-startup. To jump from one system to another, you need a ship with hyperdrive. Normally, the...
Two No Man's Sky players met but couldn't see each other because of server problems
No Man’s Sky is a weird beast. It’s the kind of game that’s online, but you might never realize it, depending on how you play. It doesn’t even require a PlayStation Plus subscription. If you’ve been playing the last couple days, you might’ve noticed a note on the pause screen telling you you’ve lost connection to the server. Because, you know, everyone is playing it. Two streamers...
The monotony of No Man's Sky is starting to get to me
I'm not saying that I don't like No Man's Sky. In fact, I'm not even ready to issue a genuine opinion yet.
No Man's Sky developer Sean Murray includes heartfelt note for reviewers
PlayStation 4 owners have access to No Man’s Sky today. PC gamers will get it on the 12th. I received my digital copy on yesterday. I did not get a note with it, as that was reserved for those reviewers who received a physical version of No Man’s Sky. NeoGAF user (and, I assume, a critic for Gamespot based on the back of the picture) More_Badass posted a shot of a letter from No Man’s...
No Man's Sky's launch trailer is here - I can't believe I just wrote those words
It’s been almost three years since No Man’s Sky was officially revealed at the VGX awards in 2013. From the debut of that trailer forward, tiny developer Hello Games had created a monster of hype and promise. This game would offer an entire universe of planets and space to explore, all without loading screens. Development was quiet with reveals coming slowly in waves, and the creators...
No Man's Sky framerate test conducted on PS4 - A relatively stable 30fps at 1080p
How’s No Man’s Sky performing on the PlayStation 4? Pretty well, it turns out. I’ve personally noticed very little in terms of stutters or framerate drops, though I have witnessed some dramatic object pop-in when flying at high speeds above a planet. That one’s sort of to be expected. The folks at Digital Foundry have done a framerate test for the PlayStation 4 version of the game....
One day with No Man's Sky and I'm wonderfully overwhelmed
So much of No Man's Sky's promise lies in the discovery of the universe around you.
