@Dichotomy
I can see the points you raise being pertinent for people. But this sort of short cycle, with a mid generation upgrade could mean that all games will play on the current generation hardware (original & pro) and on the next generation hardware. This would be a great bonus to players.

Day one, nice to get new tech, this could be the start of backwards and forwards compatibility for the PlayStation consoles of the future.

@REIGNOFDEATH
Exactly, people moaning about new tech....

@Fight_Teza_Fight
Exactly, the amount of moaning going on about the new console and the determination of some not to upgrade to 4K is laughable. You have the choice people, play with an old scary lead on a CRT for all I care, just stop moaning about new tech. Also, what gives about 4k Blu-ray? Just stream 4k movies.
Anyway, for me it's time to upgrade..... can't wait to play the likes of Horizon Zero Dawn.

Battlefield 1 when the server's are not being DDOSed, MMS when I get unstuck from the landing pad.....meh..... probably just finish Doom instead.

@Quintumply
Good log Captain!
I generally try out each planet in a system. This has led to some boring adventures, but also to some good ones, like dealing with hostile sentinels and a hostile environment whilst mining the hell out of the place. Then of course there is the pirate avoiding run to the space station to profit from your strip mining.

Found a frozen, stormy planet with a very short day. Full of gravitino spheres and korvax cubes, but the sentinels shoot on sight.
Made some dough, dodging in and out of caves....

Hope they fix the server side net code, as in don't just take the client variable returns at face value without checking, this is an issue on PC, with rampant cheating....

Hope this helps....

@wiiware
I sent the first 16 or so in, then the list kept growing, the subreddit for the game contains a load more suggestions and some great ideas. The devs are looking at that (even though it's full of nasty comments).
I think HG need to get on top of this fast, else the game will be forgotten....a lot of people will burn out on it in its current state.

A few ideas, still playing, but it's really not a finished game, more like early access, still we paid top dollar....I hope HG start talking to the community before it's too late, anyway....list of what could be fixed below:
1. Customisable FOV
2. Suit, ship & multi-tool upgrades should stack
3. Bolt caster to reload ammo automatically
4. Waypoints which have been visited and saved to be marked accordingly
5. Ability to set a waypoint on the planet or in space
6. System map available for each discovered system
7. Planet map/model showing visited areas
8. Ability to hover ship
9. Ability to choose ship's landing spot accurately
10. Ability to select a landing platform to land on from the air
11. Reduce pop in of landscape and items
12. Diary of discoveries, words learned, aliens met
13. Ability to look at a recipe for crafting/ installation without the need for a free inventory slot
14. Upgrade all suit slots to 500 carrying capacity
15. Upgrade all ship slots to 1000 carrying capacity
16. Planets should change position in the sky like the local star
17. Ability to fly low, crash the ship
18. Real factions
19. Real economy, more quantities of resources at trade points
20. Sound menu
21. Customisable ships
22. Missiles for ships
23. Gas giants
24. Ringed planets
25. Proper moons
26. Emergent gameplay - simple systems interact to create complex scenarios
27. Fix ship clipping into the environment and then launching into space

Hopefully the Neo is a better design.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi
Indeed it does....where are all the nice angles gone?

Great stuff

Three systems in, found the best planet so far, a friendly high desert one full of resources and funny creatures with a gorgeous climate, gonna load up on goodies on this one, then venture further.

Look at that mug's combat roll;)

NMS

@johncalmc
Em, yes, you should have saved your progress, common sense, isn't it, whether working or playing.

Just updated the PS4, waiting to get the telly back off my missus so that I can give it a go.

@kyleforrester87
Yep, went back, grave was there, so got all my bits and bobs back, sweet.

@kyleforrester87
Ah yes, thanks dude, unfortunately I warped to another system before doing this, I wonder if I warped back to the point of ambush in the previous system, would the grave marker be there.

Nice idea. Just got jumped by space pirates, got killed, lost all my cargo, gotta get a better ship soon.

No man's sky

1 crash so far, but the game restarted back at the point it crashed.

Not going to watch, self imposed media blackout in effect....gotta wait till I pick up my limited edition on Wednesday....plus we all know it's gonna be epic:)

Deadly

@get2sammyb
Good stuff lads, Eurogamer are doing the same.
Day one for me though, far too excited.

Fair play, seems like a major improvement....gotta love these devs

Good man Sean....I'd say his patience is wearing thin.

Yay, good stuff, correct thing to do.
At least everyone then starts fresh next week.

All of the above features are needed plus some nice green backgrounds.

Day one dudes, still reckon Mr Murray is an honourable bloke and that his vision will shine through in the game. It's great that the developer is working so hard on patches and content well after the golden master.

Ultimate spoiled dude tries to spoil game for everyone else....meh....what a tool, why can't he wait like everyone else and quit being such a tosser.
It's like a guy who spends a fortune to meet the band at a gig, misses the gig while doing so and then boasts to everyone else about it.

Blackout for me

I usually try the games out each month, then promptly delete them ... time poor so if a game is not top notch it gets binned.
The standard has been very poor all year.

Some of these covers could fit right into the game

Library control, folders, external HDD & possibility of more background colours....we need at least 255😂

@BLPs
Try rebuilding the database in the maintenance mode. It usually speeds things up.
Gotta love the OS though....20 seconds from standby to starting a game, impressive for what's basically a stripped down x86 PC.

@Bender
That sounds great, like a miniature version of our local supercluster....cool

@Majic12
Oh wow, I thought it was one galaxy/ universe, so it could be many galaxies in one universe...oh wow!

@themcnoisy
Oh yes, it will probably take me months to get there.

@get2sammyb
Yes, hyped up for this now, it will be epic. I'd say the developers will provide good post release support and content too. Sean Murray seems too decent not to.

@get2sammyb
As the game goes on, people will have more capable ships and will be moving towards the centre of the universe, so the chances of encounters with other players will rise.
This will be kinda cool as each player will have gotten to the centre via a different route and with a different adventure.

Woo hoo

Woohoo

Cool, one for the kids and me:)

Lack of quality control on the PS store. We may not need a curator, but we definitely need some sort of QA testing before crap like this gets on the store. 30 fps @ 1080p should be the absolute lower limit for all games. Devs who can't hit that should get another job....this is pathetic....

Unless this stuff is in game the majority of people will never see it. An awful mess created by the developers.
