No Man's Sky - Interceptor

Co-op sounds plausible.

Want multiplayer? Play something else.

 

I recently discovered the psnprofiles website and how it tracks data on all games - 96,000 people bought the original game, and of those apparently only 6000 people or so have played the pathfinder update on PS4. That's shocking to me.

 

We should consider ourselves lucky they are still supporting it after that kind of drop off.

 

psnprofiles only tracks public accounts. Even then it might only track them if someone asks for it to be tracked.

I see... however mine was on there and I never volunteered anything. I imagine the vast majority of players dont bother setting their game information to private - why would you? So I assume the numbers are at least giving a good indication of the reality.

[JPickford]

They're way off.  It's at almost 2 million on PS4.

First pic looks like a crashed freighter...

 

You can already fly through canyons, low level flying was patched in previously. Was doing it last night in fact, thankfully the damage your ship takes for hitting things is very low.

Apologies didn't realise low-level flying was now in the game.

[SpagMasterSwift]

It's great for spotting big red chunks of ship fuel. I was on a planet way before they patched the game that was effectively a canyon race track, so deep that even without low level flying you could have fun with it. Been praying for another one of those post patch, but not rolled one like it since. Maybe they'll be more common in the next update. Need those types for flying fun and some more moonbuggy friendly types too, with better upgrades to get more air from jumps. 

 

Is that last pic a new ship or robot lifeform? Thinking the latter.

[Davros sock drawer]

Looks like a new ship from the new race to me. And a new biome!

 

Can't wait.

They're absolutely nowhere near. They only track the games owned by people who've registered on the site. For example, their best sellers list has CoD Blops (PS3) at #1 with 1.039m owners, and #2 is GTAV (PS3) with 940k. Obviously most studios would go out of business if they were anywhere near the real sales figures. (For NMS it even says '96,063 game owners', not 96k sales, which would be absurdly small.)

So tempted to start playing again in the hope that I enjoy it more, but that crafting. No notes about improving that.

i just ignore crafting tbh... 

 

excited for the update now!  

[JPickford]

How can you play without crafting?

[Davros sock drawer]

I was going to say, it's unavoidable.

[Stanley]

Yeah it'd be like playing Mine Craft without actually mining, or building.

 

The main problem for me is how quickly you run out of inventory space. It's a constant ballache seeing the message appear and having to clear some slots.

[JPickford]

Those annoying things are really where the gameplay lies.   Get rid of limits and there are no problems to solve.

Someone has Colour Corrected the leaked images , easier to view.

Couldn't agree more, they bring my gameplay to a halt every time. I mean, even Minecraft has limits but they're kind of artificial as it's so easy to make chests. I couldn't believe how quickly your capacity is maxed out just gathering resources in NMS. It's like some kind of anti-player device purely implemented to stop you getting anywhere.

[Trigg]

So if I'm starting anew, whats the best game mode to play?

[macosx]

Wow, that's a lot of additions!

[Bojangle]

Man, basically sounds like NMS 2.0. That's my weekend sorted.

[df0]

Well, sounds like I am starting over. Again.

Looking forward to it

[Davros sock drawer]

Holy shit! I've not even done the exocraft stuff yet. I've definitely got to finish Zelda this weekend so I can dive back into NMS.

 

The new galactic map looks so much better.

 

Edit: WTF, you can add terrain?

[Xipe Totec]

Came back to this a couple of weeks ago, having reached the centre in my initial playthrough, and only just getting my head around Pathfinder & Foundation.

 

Now this -

 

Terrain creation? No-one's going to make a gigantic rock cock, are they?

[Kevvy Metal]

This looks amazing. 

I almost should probably start afresh with this update. 

The initial release was the most early access thing ever.

Doesn't sound too promising.   Portals and story stuff.  

 

Ban request.

[Stanley]

Wow that's some impressive shit. They've taken an awful lot from Elite, and that's a very, very good thing.

I'm thinking the same. I loaded up my Survival Mode save this week and I couldn't remember what I'd been doing or what I'd been planning to do. 

 

This update seems to have changed quite a lot so I may just start from scratch.

[SpagMasterSwift]

Low Level Flight Combat...oh momma!

[Jimmy Shedders]

As someone who played the original release of this for about 30 minutes, got kinda bored and never went back and sold it - This would be the perfect time to give it another go right?
