No Man's Sky to get online multiplayer

IMG_8015.JPG

No Man's Sky has already announced that it has an upcoming major content in the pipeline--one called NEXT. However, today, we got some new details about what we'll be getting with this new update. The most significant of which is that of the new online multiplayer feature. You can now play simultaneously with other players, building and adventuring throughout the world. Racing and dogfighting in aerial vehicles was also mentioned. This update is set to go live for all versions of the game on July 24. This reveal was made during this month's Xbox Insider video.

I don't play it, but I've tryed it once
Didn't really like it
plus, iirc, this game trailer were a bit misleading
Apparently, lot of people though it was going to be a MMORPG
so if it gets multiplayer, then I have only one thing to say

how is the state of the game currently? close to what it was advertised in the beggining or is now a different game?
i know in the beggining it was totally shit, and the developers mislead and lied about plenty of features and stuff the game was supposed to have..
i am wondering if the developers slowly added what they promissed or basically rebuilt the game and went other path

I got my ass torn by people who bought this game at launch, my only comment was: ''This game is going to be shit''
And welp, guess I was right.

No Man's Sky? More like Nope Man's sky.

I've had it since day one.
It's made a lot of good strides towards what was presented in the initial trailers, though it can still be pretty empty and grindy.

My advice is and likely will remain that you should only pick up No Man's Sky if you're looking for a game you can relax with while exploring. Action is pretty spread out, and not the focus of the game.

Here's a small list of changes since 1.0:
- Base building
- Construct-able land vehicles
- Freighters
- Small missions from space-stations
- Story-line quest
- Functional portals
- Early implementations of multiplayer (players are floating orbs with voice), though it sounds like this is going to change with NEXT
- Optimization, optimization, optimization
- Ship, weapon and freighter classes
- And much more that I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Shouldnt the title be

No man's sky finally gets multiplayer?

I could have sworn this was one of the million things that they promised on day 1

If anything, I'll give the devs credit for staying committed to the game and slowly updating it toward a point where the game lives up to the promises they had been giving prior to release. Plenty to give them shit for, but it is pretty nice to see something as important as the promised multiplayer finally getting implemented.

Sounds like Morphite .large stretches of nothing. Boring after the 3rd hour after story mode is complete.

Too bad they lost my trust when they released an unready, unstable, glitchy game that wasnt worth my time or my $60 :/ Threw this game in the dump a long time ago. Too little to late sadly.

Try to grab it while it's on sale if you end up wanting to get it.


literally nobody gives a fuck
Several communities based around the game and myself included would disagree.
Just because a large majority of people dislike the game for its poor release does not mean no one likes it. There are niche games out there for everyone, and No Man's Sky happens to be one of them.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
