No Man’s Sky Getting Some Big Changes Before Launch
If you’re like us, we’re eagerly awaiting to see just how No Man’s Sky will turn out, and we’re even more eager to get our hands on it. Some media outlets and lucky folks have gotten their hands on the game, but the folks at Hello Games are a little less than stoked about it, asking folks to not ruin the title for themselves by spoiling it. There are less than five days until the game drops for the folks with PS4s, and a few days even further for those waiting for it on PC, but rest assured, the folks at Hello Games aren’t taking their foot off the gas once the game comes out. There are long-term plans for post product support, with Murray noting on the site’s blog that “Hello Games will continually update No Man’s Sky this way. This is the first of many.” Read on to find out just a sliver of what’s in store!
If you mosey on over to the website for the game (or we’ll save you some typing by linking you right here.) Sean Murray posts what are a number of changes, aiming to help alleviate early criticisms from these leaked copies. There are a few interesting items on this list though, which you can see below:
- Exploits – infinite warp cell exploit and rare goods trading exploit among other removed.Â
- Space Combat – advanced techniques have been introduced, like brake drifting and critical hits. Bounty missions and larger battles now occur. Pirate frequency has been increased, as well as difficulty depending on your cargo.
- The Universe – we changed the rules of the universe generation algorithm. Planets have moved. Environments have changed biomes. Galaxies have altered shape. All to create greater variety earlier. Galaxies are now up to 10x larger.
These are but just a few of the big changes hidden within this patch, but with how hard Hello Games has worked to bring this title to us, we’re still quite excited to check out No Man’s Sky. Despite the delays, and despite the detractors, No Man’s Sky is still shaping up to be one of the biggest games of the year, and you’ll be able to get your hands on it soon. Stay strong, everyone!
