This is a great way to skip around the planet if you need to get to somewhere far away. Basically do the vomit comet move.

The warp drive can be engaged at any time in space, and on a planet as long as the ship is pointing upwards. It'll take you straight to any planet or space station directly and will only disengage when you tell it to or by proximity. It's seamless, and allows that wonderful frisson of anticipation as you descend from the clouds to witness a new planet, perhaps being seen for the first time by human eyes! Glorious.

@@vomm Welcome to the Internet ladies and gents, where random pricks ignore all nuance and context. Let's take this really slowly: 1) Being a longtime NMS player, I obviously know that seamless landings (whether on planets or "plants") are best. I also know that NMS is in a vanishingly small minority of games that do this. 2) If a game's architecture is designed from the beginning to require loading transitions instead, they need to employ an artful way of disguising this. 3) The decision to go down this route does not a bad game make. Kratos squeezing through narrow passageways in GOW does not mean GOW is bad - arguably the opposite; it disguises loading to preserve cinematic immersion. 4) In this comparison video (again: context, my dude) Ubisoft has done a solid job of this, especially when seen alongside Bethesda's laughable effort. If you ain't gonna do seamless landings, Ubisoft's is a decent effort at disguising it compared to other games doing the same. 5) Does this mean Outlaws is a good game? No! But that's far more down to other stuff than to this. In my opinion, there are lazier sins in the game and if anything, my comment was a reaction to how this transition wasn't as bad as those other issues. 6) This also doesn't mean I want Ubisoft's version in NMS "instead". I didn't say that. You said I said that. 7) Read that sixth point again to make sure it's sunk in.

Meanwhile me on Star Citizen : I land my ship on every moons or planets in the Stanton solar system without any loading screen

[@user-pc7ef5sb6x]

Yea, but you need a couple 4090s and spend couple 1000s dollars to do it. These games are below 80 dollars

[@M4sterClass]

@@user-pc7ef5sb6x I played with 30 fps for a long time with 960 GTX i5 6600K, now 13600K with 7900 XT, it works perfectly, and of course I enjoy this setup for all new games...

I don't have that kind of money. Rather to burn it up in the new gaming rig and tens other games.

I'm surprised that no one addresses the atmosphere and everything surrounding it: Without question, the landing at Outlaws is certainly the most atmospheric and musically beautiful of all. In Starfield there is only a short landing phase and a stupid loading screen and in No Man's Sky there are boring simply generically designed planetary surfaces...

[@jor89088]

Im so glad i never gave up on No Man's Sky. Bought it on the first day, and still go back to it from time to time.

I own it for every system except Switch

Now compare with elite dangerous

[@ZanzatheDivine]

So basically: No Man's Sky - the king. Smooth, seamless Star Wars: Outlaws - Obviously a loading screen, but at least the animation is there. Still feels immersive enough. Starfield: Just go home

[@SalariaStudios]

The outlaws one nice loading screen effect. Really using that world of Warcraft tech.

[@zaiggen]

No Man's Sky will be always the winner on planetary landings.

[@ectoplasmetic554]

What about Star Citizen?

[@Mister-Tea]

@@ectoplasmetic554 We just need to wait a little bit more to get it out (well Squadron 42 first), and then people will see what a true "nextgen" game looks like and can offert. Obviously, just like when Elden Ring and Baldur Gate 3 came out, all AAA/AAAA publisher (and game "jOuRnAliSt") complained about those game who gives "unrealistic expectation for gamers". Like, those guys have the largest number of developers, near infinite amounts of cash, but they still make the same lazy ass game since 2010 ! And then they cry when an indie team beat them with not even 1% of their ressources. We really should let AAA/AAAA publisher die in their infinite greed.

[@Luna_LU6546]

I just wish it had more animation with landing gears, it looks like you just *THUNK* when landing, like everything feels way too rigid

[@Azetaris]

​@@Luna_LU6546 It depends on your ship, some ships have legs that gets extended, then they get ready and then you land (some Sentinel ships for example).

[@ShadowWalker2006]

Those AAA Studios have no excuse for their lazy efforts, with No Man's Sky showing how interstellar travel should work. That game is 8 years old now. Sure it got many updates, but the flight mechanics were there from the beginning. When a small indie studio can do such an amazing job, those big companies could do even more if they wanted. But it's not about creating an immersive game for them, it's about making the most money with the least effort. Just thinking about all the lost potential in those games because of cutting corners out of greed makes me sad ...

[@BigD-t1u]

Yeah and hello games made a horrible product as well. Do you not remember it had by far the worst release of any video game of all time. Plus what’s the point of even playing it? There is no ending there is no point in playing a game that never ends.

[@Sou-no7xt]

die versty hires bro. pls stop this opression.

[@brianfunt2619]

Yeah but NMS is a game solely about space exploration designed from the ground up to do seamless transitions from space to ground, with one of the biggest trade-offs being the graphics are very mid. Whereas the main focus of the others is the game content and combat. If this was a comparison video of talking to NPCs then NMS wouldn't win any awards lol. Not to dis NMS but we're comparing apples to oranges here

[@vomm]

They have an excuse, a very good one: People still buy this shit no matter what.

[@lyrenbells]

@@BigD-t1u You are saying they created a horrible product (correct), however (from what I can see) your main argument against the game is assuming that it is still a horrible product even though by just doing some basic research you can easily see that the majority of people who play it genuinely like the game. Also, the point of a game should not be to just tell a story and move on. It should be to invoke emotion in a person, whether this be joy, sadness, or something in-between. A game does not need to have an end to achieve its main goal. One could even say that the "end" of the game is when you last play it, similar to how many games only "end" when you lose the game, such classic examples being games like Snake and Tetris.
