No Mans Sky Omega = Light No Fire Alpha? | Breaking News

[@Lordoftheapes79]

This isn't the end of NMS. Not even close. What it is, is an end to an era. It has always been about the Atlas and us, but the Atlas path has been updated. There are major repercussions to your choices at the end now. Or rather there will be. There's a good chance they're going to change how they update the game, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Sean's early interviews need to be taken with a bag of salt. First of all, those "promises" were made years before the game was released. Being the rookie dev that he was, yes, he got excited and said there would be things in the game that he "thought" he could pull off in those years. He was wrong, but he kept his promises, where it made sense, eventually. It's also important to remember, this extreme introvert, also had Sony execs breathing down his neck, he lost his house, and he nearly had to change the name of the game 6 months before release because a British cable company thought they had a patton on "Sky". The poor guy went through a personal shit storm after those interviews.

[@DummyThinksThoughts]

they have done more than enough for free with NMS . it is time for them to move on , get their next project together with all they have learned as a studio

[@tufflucal4037]

Well I do believe that there's still more that could be done with NMS, including the Original features and concepts for the game before its first launch. But it's quite clear that they are ready to move on. THE Updates were never as big as NMS Next, clearly showing that they must have split their work and energy for another game. Now we know that game and it looks vary promising!

[@nicotheape3547]

No I don’t want them to leave the only good space game ever.. :( Just not yet..

[@matthewkinsey9044]

Idk, I thought I heard somthing about player owned space stations coming to NMS in 2024.

[@nicotheape3547]

@@matthewkinsey9044 OOOOO

[@super.gamer.bros1158]

Im sure they will still update the game I believe they did have a thing for space stations as I saw around different KZbin videos about theses renewed stations NMS I like to play a lot but I believe for the future that each game or update they make will be a good surprise to all of us.

[@NotaVampyre111]

I followed NMS for two years before it was released and have been playing it since day one. While many were disappointed in the original game, I loved it. I realized it had a great deal of potential and could be something great if HG stood by their project. They did. Over the years, NMS has become an amazing game. Every update, every expansion and every expedition was free. After the debacle over the initial launch, Sean became very reclusive. He often tweeted out cryptic emojis when something new was about to be released. After every new update, they always say, "the journey continues..." It will for quite awhile I think. LNF will be amazing I think. HG has learned a lot over the years as they worked on NMS. They can take all that knowledge and apply it to LNF. I am looking forward to it.

[@MandrakeDCR]

They still have at least the one major update to put out - the end of the "Void Mother" story arc - part 4/4 has never dropped yet. The new altered spacestations were not in this update, most assume that's being held back as a part of that story or similar... Beyond that, I do think NMS will go into 'maintenance mode' when LNF launches, and that is why we got the expeditions terminal in the Anomaly - likely they will put out an expedition or two every year, and I envision the terminal will at some point open up to allow us to replay any of the expeditions at any time for fun, etc. So, I'm stoked for both the sunset and continuation of NMS and the introduction of LNF. Ok, I am SUPER stoked for LNF, but I've clocked in just over 4k hours now on NMS, so I won't be putting it away any time soon XD

[@ThisIsGlitch]

nope... they always say that the " journey continues ", omega being the last is also not true, we know for a fact that we have at least one more big update coming, the space station update

[@phillipchappell6013]

exactly Sean Murray said in recent interview believe it was December that he had a ten year plan for NMS we are on 8. I think it slow down little

[@nicotheape3547]

You do know that NMS has a storyline which they did omega cause this chapter of the NMS storyline is being ended and another one opens

[@Boobmates]

The dlc gaps will get wider that is all

[@Fischstix95]

the final updates should demo LNF's features

[@daxconnell7661]

initially the promise to deliver the vastness of scope in gameplay was a bit underwhelming in the content area, but as a new concept it was still mind blowing. you could potentially spend a lifetime exploring the galaxy going to each planet. the fact that you could actually go under the surface of the world, on top, and above. get in a ship, take off, go into the atmosphere of the planet, go into space, and then land on the same planet or travel in real time to another one was unheard of in most games (aka: the loading screen) when i started playing i was still impressed as to the future potential for next generation games to take advantage of what had been done and expanding on it. though the maker of No Mans Sky kept adding more content for FREE, while most companies would of gone the paid DLC route for the cash grab, and they slowly sculpted the game into what they originally declared. which is why when Light No Fire comes out, i want to be one of the first ones to enjoy it, and explore another new groundbreaking concept of fantasy RPG's. so kudos for people that may have grand ambitions, but also stick around to deliver what was promised instead of bailing on a project, or expect people to keep giving bucket loads of cash in "dlc's" in what would help complete the game

[@QbertTehKiller]

The only thing I really think is missing at this point is multi crew gameplay. If it had that this would basically be my only space game.

[@Wasur1959]

Omega also means "Great" or the best so not necessarily the end imo. Also it could be the end of a chapter and the beginning of the next, I doubt this is the end of NMS. Could also be they are taking a break to 100% focus on light my fire and then keep them both updated, guess that would be the best scenario. Great vid ty Ginger Prime.

[@SnuffSimon]

Hello made the mistake of over-promising, but stood behind the vision and saw it through-- creating one of the best space exploration games of all time. We paid 70 for a game, but got YEARS of quality updates. This studio deserves absolution. Let go of the past, and get hyped for the future.

[@salvation7362]

Years ago they added the ability to play the entire game in VR for free... who does that!? EVERY studio that released a VR port of their game had their hand out for more money. Anyone who doesn't think that Hello Games redeemed themselves years ago with all the insane FREE updates to the base game obviously hasn't played since day 1. Light No Fire is my most anticipated game and I really hope we see it this year. Take my money!

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

These guys are honestly amazing. You’re right, who does that??? Very few studios for sure

[@Frogdoddofficial]

It is my honest opinion that its one of the best games ever made.

[@RyanNiemer]

I'm very much so looking forward to Light No Fire.

[@satsunoryu]

Anyone still mad at Sean Murray is just riding on an archaic notion about the man, and they haven't kept up at all. There is a ton of info to explain where it went wrong, and there's overwhelming evidence as to how right he's made it. Well above and beyond anything he had to do for anyone, and he (and his team) keep it going. Sean Murray deserves praise, not disrespect. Good vid.

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

Thanks dude, and this is a great quote for my video, I couldn't agree more.

[@satsunoryu]

Awesome.

[@Floyd1138]

I think HG will be moving the majority of the staff to LNF, they probably have a summer update with new stations to come in 24, I'd imagine they will leave a few staff to maintain NMS. TBH they should focus on LNF.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

Don't make assumptions. They're hiring.

[@Floyd1138]

begining of the end for nms@@Lordoftheapes79

[@Floyd1138]

so you think the coders, artists and programmers at HG wont be allowed to work on the companies new IP and they will simply hire new staff to finish off LNF?@@Lordoftheapes79

[@Rairosu]

And what about the Stations and override codes? Why abandon those? Why add useles items to a game that has no singe use if they cannot finish the station core?

[@Floyd1138]

hence why i said summer updates with stations@@Rairosu

[@randomcommentoftheday7872]

They are using it to benchmark and test the software and gameplay to transfer and improve for Light No Fire.

[@peachpanzer519]

as ussaul people making assumtions about stuff they dont know, what i see is anouther great game coming to play along side no mans sky that keeps growing and growing

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

This comment is both amusing and confusing at the same time, Congrats.

[@rootconductor]

I was in the market for a good yet STABLE Sci-Fi video MMo/ Video game I could sit back and relax playing.. NO MANS SKY won out. (Ex-Trekkie here). I got No Mans Sky before I even Knew about the issues they had at launch.. Because I was very IMPRESSED with the games stability and UI when! I purchased it. Once I learned about his earlier hiccups, I have to say. The CEO made an amazing come back..! As I played No Mans Sky I come the appreciate the compromises Hello Games made with the software to make it Stable and a Playable Science Fiction Video Game. I recommend No Mans Sky to the older less Tech savvy 40+ with non-code day jobs to purchase and play the game.! No mans Sky is a very stable and relaxing enjoyable game to play, and I hope Hello Games continue build on the this game. (for as long as the tech allows them) With Hello Games also, you get an excellent Product for a decent price without all of the Cult like Bate and Switch a game like STAR CITIZEN would toss at you. Regular weekend gamer here to say.. Keep up the Good work Hello Games..!

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

Dude, what a great story, glad you're enjoying the game too :)

[@CaptainSteveVPT]

Love this game... Also looking forward to Light No Fire. Only worries for me... exploration feels a tad hollow in No Man's Sky and Multiplayer rarely holds a team of 4 together longer than an hour with no bugs... With Light No Fire looking to be multiplayer focused and exploration heavy going by the teaser... I have concerns... And.. what is the game objective of Light No Fire ? And will the missions be less generic and dull than those in No Man's Sky???

[@TheSCIOnce]

I’m under the impression that there are 3 more updates incoming. Because of the 3 omega symbols and because Murray’s tweet listing every update so far ends with 3 bullet points.

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

That would be cool, but that's also a pattern that we've seen him do many times before. If they keep making updates to NMS I won't complain one bit. But personally, I'm more excited about Light No Fire.

[@hallowknightmare9451]

Pretty sure Sean confirmed at the Game Awards that 2024 is another big year for No Man's Sky, so I doubt this is the end yet, plus we still haven't seen those new space stations that where teased in the Game Awards Anniversary trailer.

[@DCap-s8q]

I think they will put most or all their efforts on LNF. I have 960+ hours in on NMS and I'm far from coming close to exploring everything. The amount of content in NMS is truly amazing. I think NMS could still last a few more years with only a little attention, update and maintenance and still generate revenue or interest in HG. I would love to see LNF have the same business model, however I do not think that will be the case. If they charge for expansions, they just need to have have expansion quality updates.

[@ShizaanSil]

They cannot be done with no man's sky yet because they teased something together with the light no fire trailer that is not in the game yet, but this could very well be the last expedition, that i do believe its possible.

[@federalcorvettelover3874]

I think NMS started 6 years ago in my life looking like, Poo. I hated NMS. I came back to NMS during the Utopia expedition because my co-host & followers asked me to stream NMS Utopia because it was awesome. So, I did what my followers & co-host wanted & I haven't been able to put my controller down since. Yesterday during my Live Stream, we saw the new ship & I was silenced. I fell in love with the Starbourn. I couldn't speak in its majestic appearance. Today when I play & Stream, I will be getting on with the expedition so I can get my thumb & finger on that fantastic Starbourn, & then I'll go back to exploring mode, slow explanatory game play for my audience who enjoy slow exploration. NMS was once a pile of smelly Poo, but now, NMS is Magnificent & I think it is time we paid for these updates, which by other games production studios, would be a DLC & cost about £10-£15. Hello Games have completely turned NMS into an absolute Masterpiece. I can't put the damn controller down & I cannot remember where the bathroom is. Gosh, what's that stink? Oh, ha! It's me. Shower or Stream NMS? NMS is a great diet. I have over 100 Xbox games but I only play & stream 1.

[@dox1048]

I think they really did a nice resurrection with all the work they did post launch of No Man's Sky. BUT i can really imagine Sean Murray lying all over again. He already talks in superlatives and claiming Light no fire will be the first open world game we all dreaming about.

[@rensolsen4400]

it doesnt make sense to revamp expeditions only to the last expedition. I believe there would be more. but likely the subset of the team working on it will be very small. LNF having that atlas looking thing is also an interesting one. could there be some crossover between the two games during expeditions for instance? lets see...

[@Ralatar1]

Given this will be a procedural theme'd world if you will there would be little reason given current advancements to not tie this in as a world reachable via No Man's Sky as has been brought up. If this works like it should they would likely be able to bring in other theme'd worlds as well, all connectable via NMS. That would keep NMS as a bridge (needed to purchase to traverse) these theme'd worlds. Just food for thought.

[@madladplaysgames2727]

Afte flight no fire they should make tell no tales and make it a huge pirate game with underwater exploration like a mix of sea of thieves and subnautica

[@stardustdragonx3612]

Unlike the community for starfill no man sky community actually points out issues with the game and do not lie.

[@super.gamer.bros1158]

Technically NMS Galaxy's size is alot still i believe it when They say the journey continues. As there still alot of ways they make stuff for the galaxy's and i can see them working on both game's and i believe if they stoped working on the game they would let us know atleast

[@efxnews4776]

Techinically NMS has 255 galaxies, not just one.

[@super.gamer.bros1158]

Yes I just forgot to put Galaxy's my bad

[@super.gamer.bros1158]

It amazing to see 18 quillian or million worlds on NMS though

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

NMS will most likely continue for as long as Sean is in charge at Hello Games. Why not push it out another ten years? There are so many opportunities within the game 'reality' for future development, it's almost crazy. This is of course, IMO. Making money? They more than make enough money, just go look at HG's financial statements from 23.

[@cesarbrown2074]

What if the light no fire world was a in depth plant in the no man sky universe

[@bernvigz9138]

I think that Omega applies only to the NMS. My guess is a BIG change is coming to NMS in 2024.

[@LionscubSaint]

Omega could mean last of the expeditions as we once knew them...a totally different way to expedition from here forward?

[@Allie.TRANSCEND]

Sean Murray always puts at the end of a update reveal tweet "our journey continues" its their way of saying more updates to come. Sean's not done with the game, not even close. Also don't read to much into the update name, he always names each update thematically based on the contents.

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

Thanks for the info, Omega is just a very ominous name.

[@Allie.TRANSCEND]

@@GingerPrimeGaming I can definitely understand where your coming from, either way I hope you enjoy the game, its even more fantastic with friends. :)

[@leoncantwelliii7946]

I understand what it feels like to be burned by a developer and their promises. But... they have done more than enough to earn back the trust and respect of their fans. They supported this game with free content updates for years. The game has zero monetization in-game. We gave gotten all of these updates for FREE. Any I'll will they earned at launch should have been long since washed away with the care, love and support they have continued to give this game for years after.

[@peachpanzer519]

updates are always free, dlc is paid, u people need to learn that updates are always free, no such thing as a paid update, big difference in the 2

[@crispy9175]

Internet Historian has a great video on the history of the NMS project. I highly recommend it. And I also got NMS way after the release and I found it fun but too "arcade"-y for someone who plays Star Citizen most of the time. But I keep it in my inventory for when I want a completely no stress game. I respect Sean Murray a lot for not quitting and making the game despite his horrible ability to give interviews.

[@Johan-rm6ec]

They are wrapping things up, there is a reason why they are working on another game. $$$ NMS isn't that popular. We have also learned that from a bad state to a decent state doesn't attract more players. Initially NMS had around 212K players, now daily with the update 11k. But without you see 8K of daily steam players. To compare, Stardew valley has overall around 40k daily players. for a 2D game. People need to connect and that is NMS major problem. There is not a single option to connect to this game, the lore is crazy and weird there is nothing in NMS to care for. And the lack of a healthy active player base shows is.

[@joefuller3886]

it probly will be better for them to move on with their next game BUT run update of NMS every few months in the background and get inspiration from maby a newer game they are making, perhaps adding ideas from there newer game to nms or vice versa .

[@havoc9206]

Your reaching.

[@farroutman]

Seems like beta testing things for the new game. My guess is they would test software for that game in this game. Hopefully in the new game, they find a way like WoW that allows for content of a lot of different gaming in one game. Yes, exploring is fun, but you goto a few worlds, and it's all the same. Same missions, same results. Sure the scenery is a little different, but the results are always the same. Player economies, player crafting and selling, Player vendor stations (like back in star wars galaxies) There's so much they could be doing with these new games. This game is big enough where it could emcompass all game play genre's. Potential. Now where will they go with it all... time will tell. There could be mining communities, tech colonies that create new tech for fighting new creatures on new planets. Fleet battles. Space station takeovers... Like i said. So much potential.
