No Man's Sky NEXT Trailer Shows Off Multiplayer Space Exploration on PS4

Cool beans. Color me interested. I always enjoyed exploring in this game. Granting it was lacking in some story, but building your base and adding to your stockpile was relaxing.

Yeah looks great. I had a second go at the game last year and really enjoyed it. If I can get a group of folk together, I could easily jump back in.

Im interested, never bought this game but after this updates and price drops it finally sounds like a fair deal.

It does look great, and I've left it installed on my HDD for this very reason. Third person camera, ringed planets, etc. is all welcome and stuff I'll look forward to...

...but being able to hinder other players you meet isn't, not in the slightest. I really hope that the game has separate online and offline modes, therefore, because I'd hate to be randomly exploring the galaxy and be set upon by a gang of four really experienced players who blast me out of the stars and steal all my resources. That's not why I play games.

They actually added a third-person mode!
Holy crap!

While I do think this looks great and the planet variety is a welcome thing to have, the only way I would be willing to play this again would be if they would change the creature variety...they should add those huge creatures, dinosaurs etc...the huge sandworm! Because that's what the game is for me, discovering planets and animals no one else has ever seen...and after playing some hours back in the day I found that the creatures are pretty much the same lame thing over and over with small size changes!
Anyway, the third person mode is a must, glad they did it!

Here's hoping the third-person view helps with the games awful FOV.

I'm glad I finally gave this game a chance this spring. I enjoy the almost Metroid Prime type of solitude. Hanging out in my awesome base (I can see 3 or 4 planets and moons really close from my glass dome and it's also an extreme planet) and doing random stuff without any particular need of real progress is just something I need sometimes. Looking forward to this really. Hopefully some new trophies as well.

@Quintumply I hope so. If it isn't the case, I'm sure they'll tweak it again somewhere down the line, because I can imagine there'll be a fair few folk like myself and @Shepherd_Tallon asking for it. Will watch this space (exploration game).

Finally we get multiplayer. I haven't played this game in over a year but looking forward to jumping in with a few friends

Is this battle royale?

@get2sammyb any chance of a new or at least updated review? This seems a completely different game to two years ago, worthy of a second review or update to the original one.

Also, if a reviewed game is updated this much for free, can a score be effected? if warranted of course. Or is that set in stone on the date of the original release?

As others have stated, this update is very, very tempting. I quite possibly may be up for a repurchase. Looking great, so far.

Maybe it's actually finished in another 2 years...

@get2sammyb great to hear. NMS has never left my PS4 hard-drive but I'd love to read a Push Square NMS Next review before I dive back in.

Hopefully there's an option to play offline so I don't have to deal with other people.

I actually started playing it last week. I'm having fun, was always interested. The update looks dope

Such an improvement! Wow cant wait for this.

3rd person view update? Now I'm interested in this game again, maybe I'll buy it again if there's good discount

Also major props for hello games for keep updating the game and not abandoning it, all this free update isn't cheap to develop I think.

Edit: The price is still $60 on psn, seriously? Even uncharted 4 and horizon zd are already $20 on psn.

@kyleforrester87 That's cool, and I might even give the mode a try if I were in the right mood.

My problem is that there isn't clarity over whether it's just that, a mode, or whether the whole game will now become a free-for-all. If it is pervasive across the entire experience, I'd love, as you describe, a safe-space system or something. Otherwise it'll end up being like settling down at the cinema to watch a film, only to have some jerk come along and knock your popcorn all over the floor.

There's a lack of clarity in what we've been told... but hey, it's No Man's Sky, so the jokes make themselves.

@b1ackjack_ps You could try Star Citizen on PC, I hear progress on that is going extremely well! It has everything you are asking for!

On another note, does No Man Sky have a way to put down multiple favourite flags on areas (so we can fly back to them? ) cos I keep getting lost.

@Kidfried I'd be up for that. Dange1981 if you wanna add me. Just mention this site so I know who it is. No idea how MP is gonna work but I'd quite like to just do some exploring.

It's starting to become a worthwhile product. Admirable.

@RogerRoger it may be like their other updates. Right now there are 4 game modes so it may be a separate one.

Nice. I liked the game in first person but it looks so much better in a 3rd person perspective. I'm looking forward to getting back into this, might even start fresh from the beginning.

Is the draw distance still so crap on standard PS4?

@Savino thanks I'll take a look!

I've still got it, but haven't played for ages. I'll give it another look.

But having said that, if players can randomly enter your game to "hinder", it'll be deleted and sold almost immediately. Hopefully this is an optional thing which can be switched off.

I know everyone thinks it's cool to hate on No Man's Sky and I do understand their frustration about it, however I have always loved to play this game and I love that they are trying to make the players happy by releasing free updates to the game. But it's so frustrating that people are focusing too much on the past and not see how massively it's improved and how much work they have been putting into fixing it for everyone. I for one can't wait to download this new update

I really enjoyed the original game. Made it to the center of 4 galaxies put in 100's of hours of relaxing play. The suggestion of PVP worries me but I will still jump back in.

I jump on after every update to see what's new. The game seems to be getting better, almost to what was first promised. I look forward to this update. Though there's still something missing in my opinion. It needs random missions or something. It is a relaxing game, I just hope it isn't spoiled by randoms killing everyone while trying to mind your own business, like in GTAV.

Time to go back for the Platinum

SO excited, can't wait to dive back in!

I've had it for ages but just never understood or got in to it properly. Tried it again the other night and it started to kind of make sense, albeit only in creative mode to relax. The new update sounds cool though and will probably tempt me even more.

Sooooo... Is it out of it's alpha state or is it alpha 2.0?

Welp, I guess I’m going to have to eat crow and admit that this game is worthy of a revisit. I haven’t put the disc back in since launch. All the previous updates sounded like improvements but not compelling enough to formally add it back to my massive backlog (well, actually my “sidelog” since I have already started the game, just never stuck with it). But now, what’s this strange feeling I feel? Excitement for No Man’s Sky again? Yeah, I think that might be it....
I guess I can thank GameStop for only offering me an insulting $2 for the game when I tried to trade it in about a year ago. I kept it and now it appears it may be getting close to becoming worth the $60 I paid at launch.

@Dange Haha same here NMS along with Bloodborne are probably the only two games that has never left my HD since launch day. I pop back in once in a long while to check out the new updates. There is so much potential to the game.

@zimbogamer I'd forgotten about that, thank you; feeling slightly more relaxed about it all now!

I loved this game when it came out got every trophy. I love the updates. This one looks fantastic. Just a great game !

fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me

i will never be going back to this game, as an Aussie I was way to disappointed how they handle this originally, similar to people going back to destiny after the devs blatantly lied to you time and time again
