No Man’s Sky’s hype “stole” community from Hello Games, feedback will help craft updates

NO MAN’S SKY has been a huge hit on PS4 and PC and while big success can be critical for a small indie studio like Hello Games, founder Sean Murray believes it may have also stolen some important feedback that would have helped shape the game’s future.

Now all we need is an article with Chris Roberts crying about how the hype "stolen" the community from Star Citizen.

To be fair HG's didn't show much off and evaded questions. They showed the core gameplay and implied there was far more to see and do. Turns out what they showed was everything, mine rocks, find the four points of interest randomized on each planet, and that's it. Lots of features were cut from earlier previews also. I'm harsh on them because its so buggy and it really was a twenty dollar game IMO. There's massive content but after the first planet its all the same.

I do love what's there though. They achieved something brilliant when it works. It needs steady support long term and it could be a game people play for a decade. Why mine with no base building, or freighter building, where is ship customization for looks and colors, why can't we build one, where are the sunken cities, abandoned civilizations, actual thriving hubs, maybe add quests from alien npcs, more combat situations for those that want it, add in more deep cave systems with hostile robots or wildlife, complex ruins with puzzles like portals or gravity or even moving boxes just add content. Shooting rocks is not going to keep us around especially when all you do with it is get fuel to shoot more rocks. I maxed out my suit and weapons 10 hours in on the third system. I'm about to buy a 35 storage ship 6 systems in. There's no carrot left for me. The Atlas path isn't interesting enough nor the center of the universe compelling enough for me to continue. If I could craft and customize everything I would get addicted.

Add in setpieces like epic space battles, maybe mp space stations so you could meet randoms to trade in stations and show off your ship and in turn it would let us customize our appearance and suit. Add in coop if the majority asks. At this point it doesn't matter what HG's originally intended it to be. It has to evolve with base like Minecraft did. Keep adding and a year from now it will be what I expected day 1. May turn out to be one of the best games ever made and I'm totally serious. The first few hours were amazing until you realize you have seen it all on one planet. Even the damn puzzle repeats itself every time, 1234, 2341, 3412, 4123 BLUEPRINT FOUND! You already own this blueprint :(

Good luck to you guys. Game is a smash hit already I just hope you really support it for years with a full team. I really like it but my game crashes all the time. My ship lands under the terrain and then I fall into nothingness ruining my save. It has issues. I was under the impression when Sony stepped in and helped fund it and the price was set at a full AAA price it meant that the game got support from Sony. Money to triple team size, Sony helping debug and test exc, what normally happens when a massive publisher pays what is most likely a massive amount of cash to a small team. Instead it kept a skeleton staff and didn't expand the scope at all. We got the same game we would have except at a massive mark up and wads of cash in the developers pocket. Fans kind of feel duped guys.

Konami didn't recover after ditching Kojima, but this Metal Gear revival is its best shot

With Kojima gone, a lot is riding on Konami's revival of Metal Gear.

Not really, Konami is basically in name only and like so many other Japanese studios that have come and gone they are just going to be an IP troll and milk that cow until it is dry. Also one of the advertised features is playing the game from a different camera view while everything else remains the same will just result in making the game easier like what happened with Twin Snakes.

If this turns out good and gamers support it we will get the other ones.. i really hope we get MGS original in zanzibar, Peace Walker and Portable Ops remakes after this one.. they are related with naked snake

Portable Ops was sooooooo good and underrated

gold_drake23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Konami might not be super active in the videogame business anymore, or less, but they still make a ton of money with their collections and pachinko machines.

and their castlevania series on netflix is really successful also.

Your dislikes shows this sites situation

Konami has been doing all of that for years now like there contra games or mgs ports

mgs survive anyone

isarai1d 6h ago

When are people going to learn that all Konami is doing with these games Is licensing them out? They are not trying to revive their game development Branch and they are not the ones developing this. It is studios that came to them and asked to use the license to make a game and they have been doing this pretty much since MGSV

Remaking all his work reaks of desperation. The only reason they are getting away with it is everyones deep love for the series. If delta is successful (which as of right now it should be), they'll be sure to remake all of them.

Big shoes to fill, and compared to SH2 - this is as much a 1:1 remake as you can get. You can still see the PS2 bones in the movements and how the cutscenes have the same angles. If anything, I'd have preferred the reverse.... with SH2 being closer to a 1:1 remake but prettier, and have MGS3 have a little more freedom.

Ideally, MGS3 with a MGSV skin in terms of gameplay and freedom of approach. This is more like a high budget remaster than a remake. Having recently replayed the Bluepoint remaster, this is going to be like that same experience but even prettier.

But, as with both MGS3 and SH2, nearly impossible shoes to fill if not outright so. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Such is the legacy of these GOAT titles.

Inverno1d ago

It's a one to one remake, using the same voice recordings too. Not a reimagining, no new content thus far announced, just a straight remake of a game that already exists, but now with prettier graphics. There's no revival, they proved they can't make anything related to MG after Survival. They'll just remake all the games and people will eat it up.
