    Eurogamer says its not out until 5pm... is that right?

    From the Eurogamer Site:

    No Man's Sky NEXT release time Xbox One

    UK: 2pm BST
    Europe: 3pm CET
    North America: 6am PST, 9am EST
    This comes from the time given on the Xbox Store.

    No Man's Sky NEXT release time PC

    There's no official word on the update time for players on Steam, but given that there's roughly an hour's difference between the Xbox Store and PlayStation Store times given (see below for PS4), here's the range you can probably expect for when it'll update on PC:

    UK: 2pm to 4pm BST
    Europe: 3pm to 5pmCET
    North America: 6am to 8am PST, 9am to 11am EST

    No Man's Sky NEXT release time PS4

    There's again no proper update time given on PS4, but on the game's page in your library there is an "Event" listed as beginning at 4pm here in the UK, which translates to the following times:

    UK: 4pm BST
    Europe: 5pm CET
    North America: 8am PST, 11am EST

    Live on Xbox, think I'll hold off a while.

    Impressive overhaul to be fair

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

    No Sean, I applied for a refund because your game ran like absolute garbage on a brand new just released 1070 GTX card, frame rates in single figures. Please stop lying.

    Strange that,ran absolutely butter smooth on release for me on a 970.

    One of the few things you couldnt really accuse NMS of at launch was not being an optimised game. It ran well on the majority of systems.

    9.7GB for the PS4 version -- thank god for 4G Mobile Hotspot.

    Still no sign of the pc update, which is annoying. Surely they should preload these kinds of things on Steam.

    My base is gone and my home planet is gone as well.

    I loaded my save and it spawned me in a space station. All the planets around me are "discovered by Gamer_Bhoy_89" but I don't recognise them by name at all. Did they really wipe all of my progress besides what I had in my inventory??


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,564 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    I only got the download on pc in the last hour (5.3gb). Looking forward to giving it a good go now.

    i just started playing this last weekend and was fascinated. seems like good timing with these updates. might get it for pc also


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,609 ✭✭✭irish_stevo815


    I have this on PS4 since Day 1 and have gone back to it over and over again for the past 2 years. It's only been this weekend that i started into the Atlas story path properly and love it.

    Cannot wait to try this new update later, looks quiet amazing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    I hadn't played since launch. Went back to it a couple weeks ago and have sunk some decent time into it. Very impressive what they have done for free in the last two years.

    And this NEXT update is insane. So much in it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 954 ✭✭✭PaddyBomb


    I can't find confirmation about how many players in the multiplayer. Is it 4 player parties and then can bump into 12 random players too?

    Yeah I think it's 4 players parties in a Lobby of 16

    What level of ship customisation is in this?

    I was always a fan of the game, but a quick whirl of NEXT there and they've done a hell of a job over the last few years. Definite visual improvements, and lots of interesting new systems to tinker around with. Had to start a new game to get to grips with it all.

    Super impressive seeing the first ringed planet from space (and indeed from the ground - makes for an impressive skybox!).

    There's a message when you first boot up the update saying bases have been wiped but they can be restored from any computer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,980 ✭✭✭wyrn


    I'm hoping I'll be able to play again. Could play it when it was first released but after the 1st big update, it wouldn't work because my graphics weren't sufficient all of a sudden. I was actually really enjoying it.


    Oh look at that, new Steam chat. Hate it already :pac:
    EDIT: Nah, it actually looks alright.

    Is it worth starting over with a new game?? I'm a bit lost on my current save but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

    Maybe start a new game for the tutorial stuff. I dunno, looking forward to getting stuck into it over the next few days.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,564 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    I started over there, and glad for it. The start of the game was much smoother. Lots of changes, and i'm really enjoying it. Got out of the first two systems, and gonna go looking for a place to setup a base. Need a relatively safe world, with some water, as i want to build it underwater.

    It's a hell of an update, and can't wait to play some more of it.

    At the very least worth playing through the tutorial stuff: multiple save files mean you can always go back :)

    The online save is quite good, 4 of us reasonably experienced just doing our thing in our brand new universe was good fun. We have bases on a planet each (9 in the system which is nice). We can drop in and out and help each other etc

    Pirate missions pay stupid amounts of money and so does the Tech Stuff buried underground.

    I dunno about this, seems to be a never ending circle of collecting ****e for this, then running out of ****e for that, then collecting ****e for that, then running out of ****e for something else.

    Is there a quick way to get anti matter because I'm close to deleting this if it's just going to be a boring fetch quest in space.

    Presuming you are going for a warp cell? I haven't got that far into the game on this update but on previous updates, if you follow the atlas path they start giving you more warp cells than you know what to do with.

    I am yeah, but I need one to warp to the next Galaxy. It seems like a lot of busywork. Where do I go to get one exactly?
