Galactic Photo Safari - No Man's Sky Pathfinder Update

No Man's Sky devs have continued to work on the game, presumably still trying to deliver all the features that Sean Murray promised when dazzled by interviewers. The latest Pathfinder release adds ground vehicles, ship and tool specialization and a very attractive photo mode to let players appreciate the newly upgraded graphics.

[@morganbrittain304]

Apparently I have the least popular opinion in the entire world, I like No Man's Sky. I play it after a day at work when all I want to do is chill and look at fantastic scenery. I love it.

[@scottmanley]

It warms my heart to hear people who enjoy this game.

[@morganbrittain304]

I know right!?! There have been other games in the past that promised things they didn't quite deliver. But wow, would you look at the visuals, in my opinion, they make up for it. It seems like people want to hate this game, they want it to fail, but there are so many good things to immerse yourself in. I don't think it's my favorite game ever but it is a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

[@MacDeth]

Honestly! I really enjoy the game too. I can understand why the game gets hate but I also think it became _way_ too fashionable to hate on it. To the point where lots of critics don't really know what they're talking about, imo. Some people are still beating the dead horse today, too. NMS, while getting deserved criticism, still manages to be misunderstood.

[@jedpeg_6412]

Morgan Brittain I thought I was the only one with this unpopular opinion. :D

[@Duhya]

Good for you. You can like it. I never found the scenery very exciting, and the gameplay pretty much non-existent, but at least someone can enjoy the game they put so much work into overhyping.

[@CasperDar]

You can only drive these things on your base's planet? You mean the planet you're likely to have explored quite extensively already since you deemed it worthy to place your base on? Are you serious?

[@scottmanley]

Funnily enough - devs have listened and there's a patch already to make them available on any world.

[@CasperDar]

Ah good, it's really how I expected these things to work in the first place. Land on a planet, drop your car and joy ride around the place to explore.

[@WalkerEMC]

Casper Dar i can drive them on any Planet i want. you have to destroy the vehicle Plattform and rebuild it on any Planet you want, dont forget to destroy it right after you build it.

[@coreyfro]

Further proof that this game was released too early and was too under budget.

[@kewld00d93]

Don't forget it was waaay overhyped.

[@SuperMellowFilms]

Corey McGuire well it was in the making 2yrs before release, and I say this a lot, was only made with 6 people.. for just six people making this game, I would except much more from everyone.. fucking minecraft, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Destiny, has nothing on this game.

[@coreyfro]

Two years is not enough time for a game, period. I don't care how many people you have. If you're going to try to make a game in two years, you better give your customers realistic expectations. This, Hello Games, did not do. Meanwhile, Minecraft gave their customers very realistic expectations. It's BY FAR the most successful game is recent history.

[@mrcyberpunk]

if it was developed by only 6 people then why the fuck was it a full priced game? they spent waaay too much on Marketing- this was apparent.

[@coreyfro]

There have been a lot of gems worthy of full price from small houses. The trouble with this title is the degree of the difference between what was promised and what was delivered. And this latest patch seems so far off from a remedy, it really seems like they are just not in touch with their audience.

[@FonVegen]

You know... as much as I am disappointed by this trainwreck of a game, I am honestly surprised and impressed by the fact that the developers are still working on this.

[@Mythricia1988]

Yup. I am not really interested in the game anymore, and doubt I will ever be, but it does look like the developers managed to recover (took a while though...) and are actually working on the game out of passion for it. Which is nice to see.

[@robertonome2448]

Passion for the game was no problem... Maybe they (devs) were too attached to it, so they couldn't stop bragging about features that wouldn't even make it to the deadline. Specially sean...

[@Najvalsa]

It's a really good foundation that they can, and are, adding a lot to. In a year or two's time, it'll be a very good game. Anyway, even at launch you could get a solid 20-30 hours out of it, as in a solid 20-30 hours of doing the story, learning new things, and discovering new things you haven't seen before. It being on PC too, the mods make the game much better too.

[@redchris05]

I'm not sure they have a choice. Either they get it to a decent state before moving on to the next project or their next project is described as the follow-up to _that_ game. They need NMS to be good before moving on or their next game is automatically a flop.

[@DrAnimePhD]

What's the point of these vehicles when there's nothing to explore on these planets?

[@scottmanley]

Mining special materials which can only be mined with the vehicle's laser.

[@cunningwolf4516]

DrScaphandre for future updates. And because people asked got it

[@ragzaugustus]

Mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining to get better at mining. AHHHH!!!!

[@Uejji]

For me and many other "explorer"-type players, the planets themselves are what there is to explore on the planets. I never built anything in minecraft outside of temporary shacks as I roamed the world for hours at a time seeing what interesting terrain would spawn in, and this was before the updates that added things like temples and villages and whatnot. 'Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said "Because it is there." Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there' -JFK

[@CMDKeenCZ]

But what's the point of vehicles then? Planets are the same all over, so all you need to do is land, walk around a little bit, and then take off again, no driving around needed.

[@DeadBaron]

You can instantly warp back to your base from space stations, then go back to where you left off. Planetary bases can be used as farms to farm resources easily, as well as being a great way to have a planet with important resources that you can instantly warp back to.

[@itsa_possum]

Nice, in two years it will actually be a decent game.

[@SuperMellowFilms]

SlyBlueCat remember, this whole game is made by only six people. And it was a decent game at launch, just didn't have everything they said, but within half a year, it has everything except multiplayer

[@itsa_possum]

Indie games made by one or two people had more content and more gameplay elements. No, honestly. For that budget and the support from Sony one would expect a bit more don't you think?

[@SuperMellowFilms]

SlyBlueCat From Sony? Ha.. all they got from Sony was advertising so they didn't have to spend any money on doing so.. and no indie games made by two people haven't done the impossible, ever. This game is larger than every other game, combined. NMS is 2^64 planets.. or 18,000,000,000,000,000,000. Or 18 quintillion planets. One minecraft world is 60million x60million meters, or 921 quadrillion. For every block in a minecraft world, there's 20 planets in NMS.

[@sircaramelofcanadia4743]

For example, check out Pulsar: Lost Colony

[@VypaUK]

Mellow _ It's larger but there's nothing in it. I actually liked the game, but that's because I got it for £5 and that's all it's worth.

[@maraschwartz6731]

By the way, as of when this video went up, Hello games announced that they are working on putting exocrafts on multiple planets in the experimental version of the game and once it is stable, this feature will be brought into the full game.

[@ottovonbismarck9026]

That fucking FOV. My eyes are burning.

[@mentality-monster]

I've had mushroom trips with less motion blur.

[@Saxie81]

Field Marshal Erwin Rommel lol like I'm playing with binoculars on

[@scottmanley]

I don't believe you're Rommel. The real rommel would understand that the FOV is a luxury compared to the FOV the driver of a Panzer tank had.

[@data-yc2ux]

it's like looking through 40x times scopes with both eyes

[@greyhound5015]

Rommel drove his tank with the hatch open because he didn't fear the allies and their weak pitiful tanks so he had a great FOV

[@d2factotum]

Technically, CGA allowed you to specify any colour (not just black) for the background colour in either of its four colour modes, and it also offered a green/red/yellow palette as well as the magenta/cyan/white one. People hardly ever used the other palette, though, not sure why.

[@zerid0]

3 MORE VEHICLES :O The game is saved! It's now a masterpiece ... Or not

[@reaven2535]

As long as they keep making some improvements, I'm pretty confident in buying it on a good sale sometime. I never expected much from it, but I'm very glad to see them putting in post launch effort to make up for all the broken promises and mixed signals, instead of abandoning it and running with the profits.

[@saltdetected1756]

its great that the developers are adding more content to no mans sky, but when will they add any _game_ to it?

[@alexsiemers7898]

*Anticipates intense negativity in the comments* I mean, I know that this game may have not gotten nearly what it was hyped for. But holy shit, I didn't know a game like this would get such negativity!

[@cnano98]

It isn't even a bad game, really. People are just mad that it was overhyped and pushed out too soon by Sony. If it had come out and hadn't been hyped at all, loads of people would've called it a hidden gem. It's just that the hype overgrew the actual game, and the devs were forced to release it before they could catch up.

[@Spudcosmiccc]

It wasn't just "hyped for". This game advertised features that didn't exist and took money from preorders on the back of that.

[@kleinerprinz99]

you know whats worse than a bad game? a shallow game, an empty game, a mediocre game and last but not least a program which isnt a game at all, a boring game, always come to NMS update videos with curiosity, leave with boredom ^^

[@DonGaviota]

9:40 Apply cold water to the burnt area.

[@reformCopyright]

So, No Man's Sky is now a photography game?

[@cnano98]

It always has been. It was marketed as an exploration game. People wanted it to be something it wasn't.

[@Purple_Purple_Box]

So did Sean Murray.

[@cnano98]

No, he didn't. He has always said that the game is about exploration, not an FPS. The community just gets on this circlejerk assuming the devs are money-grabbing liars, when in reality, the community just has no idea what the game is actually supposed to be, and the devs were pushed by Sony to meet a deadline they weren't prepared to meet, resulting in an unfinished game that, even if it was finished, wouldn't meet the expectations of the community because, again, no one can comprehend what they've been saying all along, that it is first-and-foremost an exploration game.

[@battyflaps5410]

Hey it makes good screen shots, I quite looking at them they're nice and this game does that really well

[@dragonwaz]

Sective Apologize for them all you want. It wasn't the community who repeatedly answered yes when asked if there would be multiplayer. It wasn't the community who said there would be a faction system that you could buddy up and choose sides. It wasn't the community who said the ship's would be and play different depending on the class of ship. It wasn't the community who said there would be desert planets water planets, etc. It doesn't matter if they meant to be money grubbing or not. They took your money promising a complete game slunk off while everyone found out how incomplete the game was and then started bringing you the rest of the unfinished game back piecemeal. The rage wouldn't have been anywhere near the level it was if at any point they were honest to their customers and said "look we aren't ready to launch but because everyone wants it so bad we're gonna release it on early access and continue to work on it, if you pre-ordered and you don't want to buy the game on Early Access cancel your pre-order and come back when the game is more complete." But they stayed silent on the matter and watched as the train came off the rails and crashed with all their customers in it.

[@shorynisha]

If you look at the "experimental branch " on steam , rovers are no longer limited to your home planet . You can create a summon point on ANY planet so you can explore them (and this is highly addictive ). I wish this feature will arrive soon ingame.

[@realityveil6151]

It continues to crack me up, the way Scott says "Explorer." Exploder. Like a ship specifically designed for maximum explodability.

[@gwydionelliott211]

what I want is the creatures that were shown in the trailers

[@scottmanley]

I agree, some diversity would be worthwhile.

[@meepster554]

Scott Manley and some lush forests like shown in the trailers.

[@shorynisha]

There are some of them now , i just met a giant "triceratops" , my rover was as tall as his head and no more , it should mesure 10-15 m and when i scanned it , it says mass :923 kg. I only found one of them in 20 h since the new patch , i wish it wasn't a bug.

[@gwydionelliott211]

Scott Manley yeah, some of the stuff in the trailers were amazing, but exploring in the real game kindof just feels like looking at different combinations of creature parts you've already seen a hundred times

[@robertonome2448]

This game needs factions... And quests. That's basically all.

[@gauthiernatalashadow8327]

Thank you for keeping an eye on this one. I got bored of it quite fast and I just don't seem to find the willingness to turn it on again unless there is a major update in which I could dive for at least a few hours. Oh well, thankfully no dust can accumulate upon a digital library.

[@supershmooperme]

Just took the SATs, and this game cleared my head. It's a really nice game to chill with

[@inexister7371]

I'm waiting for the "Gamechanger" update... with multiplayer, portals, satisfying game progression, interesting non-repetitive planets, and something actually worth going to the center of the galaxy for... ....not gonna hold my breath though.

[@Jomama7272]

One thing I've learned about the classes of vehicles and multi-tools is that the A class is best. For example, I found a multi-tool, within a few hours with a new character, on the wall in an Operations Centre that was a class A Experimental with bonuses of Damage +29%, Mining +66%, and Scanning +86%.

[@GreenPartyHat]

The game is much better now than on release. I'm having a lot of fun playing it.

[@porkinsdlx5764]

It saddens me that the over hype and over marketing of NMS has maybe ruined the space sim genre for the masses. Since the financial successes of ED and SC there have been a lot more production companies willing to throw some money into space sim games which is great! I don't expect space sims to ever be on the same popularity level as FPS games or anything (the average complexity of a good space sim is typically a rough barrier to entry for most) but has been nice to see space sims trending on steam. I'm sure you've taken a look at it but if you haven't you should check out Everspace scott its a freelancer feeling rouge-like that is really enjoyable and pretty!

[@HeadCannonPrime]

I think the success of Elite Dangerous has a lot of people still happy. NMS is more a cautionary tale about overselling your product and managing expectations from indie developers.

[@Mythricia1988]

I think NMS probably never really struck people as a space sim type game, not even before release, so I don't think it impacted that genre much at all. Games like ED, even though the playerbase is not huge, seem to have the same kind of success as EVE Online - smaller player/fanbase than their genre-giants, but the people who actually play it, oh boy do they love it. And it has a really fantastic development team as well, so, I think the space sim genre is quite healthy. It remains to be seen what Star Citizen ends up doing, if it ever actually comes out, before this decade is out...

[@vt-1493]

Elite: Dangerous sales went way up the week that NMS flopped. A lot of people got the bug to play a space sim, and NMS didn't satisfy that itch.

[@porkinsdlx5764]

true enough i suppose it was kinda marketed more as a survival sandbox type game. And Boy Howdy does it not satisfy that space sim itch, I'll play it every once and awhile but more for planet exploration than space exploration, for that I'll always go and chill and fly my ship around ED

[@cyrusjameskhan]

Such a good and underrated game... With each update it's becoming a more and more solid experience. One day this game will be viewed by all as something fantastic that grew from a shaky launch.

[@Absurdum22]

Poor Scott can't just do a video on an update on a game in his genre without everyone asking if he is being paid... you do you, Scott.

[@j377yb33n]

The cga pallete actually worked really well when put over composite cables, artefacts created by groups of colours could make greens, reds, purples, blues. the 8bitguy had an interesting video on it

[@TheSweetcornminer]

Just in case people didn't know, you can use the Exocraft on any planet, you just need to plonk a spawn pad. You can only have one pad in the universe at any one time though.

[@scottmanley]

+TheSweetcornminer yeah they changed that after video was made

[@NecroBones]

It sounds like soon we'll be able to build the ground vehicles on any planet, and not just the bases. The Steam experimental version lists that in the patch notes (according to the subreddit).

[@MikaelLevoniemi]

CGA had lots of colors if used through composite cable - color mixing. Nobody did though as text was unreadable in that mode, so only white, black cyan and magenta is what people remember CGA for.

[@SaladSentinel]

Looking at the comments on here reminds me why I like Scott. I think he's an honest and engaging guy who is just doing what he really likes to do.

[@scubastevewa8580]

It's nice to see this game still receiving support, it's really improving from the mess it was a release. Definitely time to reinstall it for my PS4 and do some exploring.

[@clancywiggum3198]

Credit where it's due, the NMS devs have responded much better than DoubleFine responded to SpaceBase's pitfalls.

[@JoeyJoJoJoestarJuniorShabadoo]

Scott did you ever play an old freeware DOS game called Noctis? You played as an alien with a ship and all you did was warp around and explore weird alien planets, no combat or resource gathering aside from fuel for your ship. I tried No Mans Sky, and while it can't compare to real space sims like Elite, I enjoy wasting a couple hours at a time in NMS because it's like an updated version if Noctis.

[@r.h.thompson9080]

As a photographer Photo Mode in a game is always a massive plus.

[@Lorunification]

That motion blur makes my head hurt.

[@scottmanley]

It's easy to turn off thankfully, unlike some other games.

[@WeaselLevelDesign]

This game looks really cool now! I wonder how far they'll take multiplayer and base building? Also that multitool is District 9 inspired!

[@parkerjohnston3522]

I once witnessed the KRAKEN in this game with the mining car...

[@primarysecondaryxd]

Honestly I think if they just tried to get a good modding system out there and just worked on performance and graphics and stuff, the community would probably take care of all of the content that they don't have for them. If they made stuff like the procedural generation systems and the physics engine and stuff easier for the community to access they'd probably pretty easily be able to make this a great game. It's not like this type of system hasn't been done before, either, so.

[@scottmanley]

Yep if they made modding easier it would help fill the universe with more stuff to do.

[@Svilly12]

I feel like the photo abilities this game has is a perfect metaphor for it... something which is essentially pointless, looks pretty, and is fun for about half an hour. Another year of hard work, and this game will perhaps be what it was supposed to be... or someone can sort out how to make the universe not be a bunch of locked spheres and actually exist as an entire thing (so you can fly into the sun if you want to), and then perhaps it'll be worth playing for a while.

[@lazerx7550]

Pathfinder? Driving the Nomad? Glad the NMS team is excited about Mass Effect Andromeda!

[@comady25]

I've never felt physically sick viewing or playing a game before, but man, this is coming close.

[@softie2]

Not sure if you're still playing NMS or not Scott but if you want to build vehicles on other planets the experimental build on steam allows you to do just that, also I love NMS at about 135 hours so far and many more to come also to get into the experimental branch the code is 3xperimental

[@nachos7117]

This game is turning into 3d Starbound, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

[@riceniceman548]

gotta say it's starting to come around in a couple ways

[@DeepPastry]

CGA had two different graphic modes; RGBI and composite. RGBI was the one with the super basic and really odd color schemes, but it was for businesses, who were primarily working with text and numbers in spreadsheets and stuff. The composite blended those basic colors and intensities to create loads more colors for pretty good graphics for games and stuff, but it made text a bit crap.

[@OptionalZero]

I still REALLY want a travel trail on the map for all the places I have been. My travel feels like it has no context since I never know where I really came from. (Waypoint Routes reset to shortest distance, so over long journeys you still lose track of where you came from)

[@CVDO93]

is there any noise about an update with actually dropping these vehicles from you ship instead of hours of flying looking far a base where I can build these?

[@tyorca5854]

Oh I forgot this existed for a while.

[@joman2334]

Does the name come from Pathfinder the mars lander?

[@jackfraser6810]

JoMan 23 yes At least, I think so

[@francouz2339]

JoMan 23 I would think that it is more likely that it is a reference to ME Andromeda, to get a slice of the hype...

[@cnano98]

Fran Couz No, it really isn't at all. Pathfinder is a term that's been around for ages, meaning someone or something that finds paths. The update (to an exploration game) adds more vehicles. There's a very obvious correlation there that has nothing to do with Mass Effect.

[@Tbal_96]

Sective just happens to release a week before Andromeda of which a Pathfinder is the main character and No Man's Sky also happens to add a land cruising vehicle not too dissimilar to the Nomad. Okay there bud.

[@ManOutofTime913]

Really, the main thing that's impairing me from buying this game is the lack of an objective. If they added that, I might actually consider a purchase.

[@elasolezito]

He's on safari ! Bugs ! Glitches ! Those weird liforms... oh my !

[@Morgaknite]

Scott does not sound impressed in this entire video. I find that amusing. I appreciate you doing a video on it. Otherwise I wouldn't have known to turn on my ps4 to update it.

[@vicviper319]

5:41 What? Scott spotted actual dinosaurs? And not cloven footed pig hybrid monsters?!? Good show Seriously though, nice to see you still checking up on this game. Makes me want to go back, almost..need to finish Zelda first

[@SomeTubeCat]

i really hope they update this game enough. i believe this can still be a great game to play now and then

[@cmdrterrorfirma4244]

the "depth of field" did not "work" for you because DOF really only applies when you have a closeup on something in the foreground and something distant.. not a wide angle shot of everything.

[@scottmanley]

take a look at the stills, there's a couple of closeups which illustrate how weak 100% DOF is.

[@MrRick1719]

Don't know if its the FOV or the motion blur I can't watch this for more than 5 minutes without feeling sick. The 3rd person view on the vehicles helps a bit. Notice it still has loading issues as you drive about.

[@planespottermerijn]

MrRick1719 You can chance both in the settings

[@leXie1337_chan]

I'm mildly disappointed that you didn't try to take a screenshot showing the player / exosuit. Or is it only in third person from in a vehicle?

[@scottmanley]

Nah - you're invisible and never show up in the photos.

[@10storm97]

Have you tried loading up a seperate players race? I am curious how that works.

[@TowersofContrast]

i dont doubt that someone hasnt already made a mod to where you can hail your buggy from anywhere, seeing as it has a range limit on it. Also wouldn't doubt that there wouldn't also bee some other tweaks you could do.

[@scottmanley]

Devs have already pushed a patch to do this.

[@o0alessandro0o]

A few more updates and it will be worth its price. I still have no clue how to make it work on my potato, however.

[@aazo5]

2:19 You can freeze time in a multiplayer game?! Oh, wait...

[@michaelladd4049]

Its cool that they're releasing these for free. My main issue with the game isn't the lack of content, its the fact that it runs like garbage on PC. I mean, who wouldn't want Space Engine but with walking?

[@DamianReloaded]

I like how the vehicles look like toys.

[@demolicious1]

We are so desperate for that space game we have not seen yet. Elite, SC, No Mans Sky have the potential, but not quite hitting the spot yet. PLEASE GOD HELP US FILL THE HOLE

[@illustriouschin]

They really should have included a mothership and dropship capable of carrying the ground vehicles.

[@deanspanos8210]

So you still have to hold the button to select items?

[@scritchscratch3061]

The Colossus looks like that big arse thing in Take on Mars back when it had it.

[@jekanyika]

Why do the sliders go above 100%?

[@scottmanley]

Ask Nigel Tufnel.

[@antongrahn1499]

At this rate, i might buy this game in the future.

[@itsstoreytime]

Impressive pictures, good job!

[@mortarpestle.4267]

Percentage of comments: 70% is people complaining about the really ugly motion blur, like you know your game runs bad when you have to add such strong motion blur. 29% is people joking about the game's incompleteness, I pirated this game and I still felt robbed! .9% other. .1 this.

[@SwingtimeCreative]

Pressing F on pc just activates the zoom control? How do I activate that awesome photo mode?

[@planespottermerijn]

Nicholas Hansen press [Z] and go to the photo mode with [Q] and [E] or the arrow keys. Then select it with [F]

[@corbincavitt635]

So whats the difference between this and elite dangerous? Besides art style obviously

[@Hunterstiq]

Yes, in an exploration game, you want gotta plant a one-time base on a planet so you can use the exploration ground vehicles. BRILLIANT! This game is like pushing a boulder up a mountain. Progress is grueling and probably not worth it when there are other better games doing the same thing.

[@GregTheReaper]

If you want a multiplayer space sim Astroneers and Elite are both solid games that Mr Murray hasn't been able to ruin.

[@cnano98]

Astroneers is a steaming pile of buggy shit, why are people hyping it up?

[@GregTheReaper]

Buggy or not at least it's not falling short on promises.

[@alexsiemers7898]

Sective Because it's only a pre-alpha and already is quite a decent game for its age.

[@Chaosmonaut]

No Man's Sky is slowly becoming a good game...

[@xavierh.5102]

by adding 3 vehicles?

[@toddb6037]

Hey, they improved the camera too! (they removed the lens cap). When it gets to be the $5 bargain bin game that it is I'll pick it up then.

[@maytriks4215]

And features s well. 3 vehicles is a good start.

[@666Tomato666]

yeah, in 10 years it may actually be in a state to be called "good game"

[@robertonome2448]

Honestly, if they add actual factions in the next patch, it'll be pretty enjoyable already.

[@GunTech]

Yeah, this update made me take a look again and p.s. it's on Steam Sale now :)

[@n-steam]

If elite dangerous managed to get landing on atmospheric planets added, there would be nothing in NMS that wouldn't already be done better in E:D

[@Hikarmeme]

Multiplayer, vibrant earth like planets, sand planets. Thats all i want.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

"I Can't Name This" sounds like a ship from Iain M Banks' "Culture" stories.

[@Gruxxan]

it doesn't matter what they do to this game, if its not multiplayer. where's multiplayer?

[@jasontoddman7265]

This was very helpful for a tech dunce like me. Thank you.

[@SweRaider1993]

Is there a mod that like, drastically increases the view distance? (not just LOD/object distance) That's my only gripe right now before I'm willing to buy it. Really beautiful vistas... But the annoying view distance limit just ruins it in order to cater to inferior console hardware...

[@KashouWannabe]

I looked at Steam this weekend, and I saw NMS at 40% off, and I thought "Oh, cool, NMS is on sale, I'll buy Astroneer". You think I was gonna buy No Man's Sky? Maybe knock it to under £15/$20 and slap a massive Early Access banner on it and I'll consider it. Astroneer is awesome, by the way. It is more No Man's Sky than No Man's Sky is.

[@scottmanley]

A real gamer would have looked at Steam and bought the Crusader Kings II collection :) (Astroneer is great, but it's Early Access)

[@KashouWannabe]

I have the CK2 collection =o If that makes me a gamer then so be it =D

[@SuperMellowFilms]

LeiFlux07 it stole NMS.. Astroneer has a much bigger team than NMS.

[@danilooliveira6580]

I was really interested in Crusander kings II collection, but then I thought "well... I could also buy a car with that money"

[@KashouWannabe]

It's been in sales!

Scott you can use on any planet you delete the pad there on, then go to any planet build the pad, then hit x and deploy done :)

[@planespottermerijn]

Simon Everett That was added in a patch after this video, that's why he didn't know :)

[@SEPK09]

no worries I know hello games likes peeps to discover practically everything for themselves :) lol

[@SuperAWaC]

Hey Scott, you mentioning the eyerazors of CGA reminded me of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJquk5-dj9qjhcU It shows what CGA was actually capable of

[@MegaAwesomeNick]

So you can only use vehicles on your bases. Wouldn't it be better to have the vehicles be an orbital drop from your freighter, or have a special class of ship that can carry a vehicle. Then you can use it on any planet if you have the money to get those things.

[@scottmanley]

Devs just pushed a patch a few hours ago to change this.

[@memer6918]

yeah you can change the fov and motion blur.

[@Henrik.Yngvesson]

The problem is that they released it as "full game" when it should've been considered alpha stage. It's slowly becoming a beta. It has a huge potential but needs a story line with missions and things to do along with the functions you have in other multiplayer games.

[@planespottermerijn]

Henrik Yngvesson Yeah, and Hello Games weren't able to decide when they would release the game, Sony was.

[@roachdoggxv8920]

people are bound to exploit the ability to change the lighting in photo mode. Imagine you're in the dark and can see nothing, then you can just change fee lighting lol

[@TheGreatSpl00ge]

Shouldve had this and more at launch for 60 fucking bucks. Fuck this game and thank you

[@illustriouschin]

The motion blur in the 3rd person view makes me want to stab my eyes out.

[@planespottermerijn]

Gordon Chin It's a setting, you can chance it, or turn it off completely

[@MysteriousStranger50]

Its nice that its being updated for the very few who owned and still own the game... but man... that FoV is criminal.

[@MrMatt-vv3du]

If you go into photo mode while you are on foot, can you see your character?

[@scottmanley]

Nope, you're an invisible protagonist.

[@xinj6142]

wait, you can fly next to and around stars now?

[@Brixxter]

How's this game doing now? What about multiplayer?

[@colonelmustard3547]

the colossus looks like that vehicle in mass effect

[@5Andysalive]

you STILL have to hold the key for doing stuff. Will they ever fix this? Also: Will they ever implement what modders already did, in a more refined way? Like the Low flight mod? That can't be to difficult and would fix one of the MAJOR problems of the game. The weirdly detached surface flying and landing.

[@planespottermerijn]

AnDay5zlebt I don't get why holding a button is such a problem, sure, it maybe takes a bit too long, but a lot of other games *cough* Ubisoft *cough* do that too and get away with it...

[@noa_1104]

AnDay5zlebt the funny thing is that you actually dont have to hold anymore :P
