No Man's Sky [PS4, PS5, XO, XBSX|S, PC, NX, XGP]

saw some beautiful screengrabs on twitter thanks to th ephoto mode. If I get back in to this I will lose all my time screenshotting as I would stop at every sunrise/sunset and those flying shots which I could not take back then !
 
why would you need to, just install the patch
To summarise, 'digital' means not needing to put the disc in the machine to play which is a convenience. Especially for dip-in games. So the interest here is not about enabling the update but swapping the physical media out.
 
I had bought this with the latest Plus promo that sells the game for ~15€.

After a session of around 1 hour of pure frustration in the same room in The Last Guardian where Trico would simply refuse to jump to a pilar (where he'd jumped to before) so I could advance in the game, I called it off and loaded up this game.

And then 2 hours had passed, I went to bed too late for a weekday's eve and I can't wait to go back there later tonight.


Maybe it's because the patches so far have made the game pretty good, but I for one feel this game is pretty good value for 15€.



Is this ever going to be patched for PSVR? That would be the cherry on top, really.
 
I think Davros is confused because in the PC world buying a game on disc is basically a strange and inefficient way of purchasing a download code, whereas on consoles it is an inconvenient physical key that can sort of be played without downloading a game in theory and the only way to get some resale value currently.
 
Well, re-sale, swap or lend. I tend to swap or lend discs with friends and colleagues way more than I re-sell them and this remains my biggest issue with digital. Sony could implement a system to allow this.

If given the chance, I always prefer to buy physical copies so I can lend them to friends.
I've played quite the number of games that I borrowed from the same friends, too.

My PC hasn't seen an optical drive in about 4 years, I think.


Mandatory 60fps for Pro and Base version of a game for this to happen.
Pro already does native 1080p 60 FPS, though obviously with a much reduced FOV. Base version could run at sub-1080p with foveated resolution like so many other games.

Nothing non-scalable in the game seems really demanding, though. Geometry seems simple enough that to increase framerate they could just decrease render distance. Particle and lighting effects seem nice but those too can be downgraded or just taken away for VR.


In the end, it doesn't seem impossible to me.
From interviews, I think it's going to happen, but I fear it'll happen behind a paywall premium for VR, like Driveclub for example.
 
Man, spent a good hour in the game and it feels so different now. Little changes here and there and everything feels different now.
and the photomode should have been there day 1 : its the very manifestation of the basic explorer fantasy that we want to live in there. C7lP9KHVsAAWaf8.jpg C7lR0ckVwAEY6eS.jpg I have to figure out how to build a base so that I ccan make those vehicles and be a "Pathfinder" in here ;)

Also there seems to be a new stronger AO everywhere, changing the whole look of buildings and spacestations etc. New npcs, new traders, new classes of ships, wow, its a new game.
