[@qwertylesh]

cool to actually see the FOVated Rendering effect (where the areas your not directly looking at are intentionally low fidelity for performance) in your footage. Its a shame the PC VR experience of NMS doesn't come close to the game running on Sonys platform (NMS has always ran best on playstation for me personally)

[@TieDyeShyGuy]

The FOV in foveated rendering has nothing to do with Field of Vision, it’s part of the word fovea, the small pit in your eye where your vision is the clearest. Peripheral vision is also part of your FOV, and has nothing to do with your fovea.

[@Conradaxx]

Didn’t know what FOVated rendering meant until I read your comment. Such a genius concept, an almost obvious performance buffer and such a simplistically perfect idea

[@GenitaliusMinimus]

I'm sure a lot of the reason that NMS has always performed better on PS is the fact that it was meant as a PS exclusive during the entirety of its development up until after it released

[@smokeythebeast8288]

I've been wanting to jump into this game for a couple of years now but it wasn't until I got my PS VR too that I decided to go for it and I am damn glad I did. Best money I've ever spent on that headset. 60 hours in and I haven't even scratched the surface

[@grimmcrag8715]

@@stefandinu6389 a lot of the time as I understand it, it comes down to the engine. I know unity has had issues with the eye tracking on psvr2, which is unfortunate because from what I hear it's otherwise pretty user friendly so a lot of independent games use it. As I understand it, someone from hello games took 6 months implementing the eye tracking into no man's sky's engine. That man turned the whole game around in my opinion.

Draw distances are my only complaint. It's like you're walking around in an empty landscape then all of a sudden a crapload of vegetation just appears out of thin air. Aside from that minor complaint, this game is pretty epic.

[@dividendapacolypse6060]

Sometimes i wonder why the VR content creators dont actually cover this game as often, but i guess they just log in for a few hours and move on to the next game. Definitely one of the most complete VR games out there.

[@the1travisb]

There just isn’t much to the “game”. I know they have added content, but it’s just repetitive and gets uninteresting very quickly. The idea is better than that execution.

[@dividendapacolypse6060]

@the1travisb u actually summed it up pretty well. I do love this game to death though. I hop on every now and then. I'm pretty much a billionaire in the game so when content drops I have a blast

Did they ever add the ability to pilot your ship with the Sense controllers' joysticks? That was always a peeve of mine, like, we have physical joysticks now that you can feel the limits of, why not let us use them? The virtual joystick and throttle always felt awful to me.

[@Boobmates]

And when your seated on a sofa you can’t reach the joystick anyway 😂

[@martinsimracing1255]

They did add the ability to fly with the duel sense controller, Definitely much better.

[@DMC585]

Loved this on pc vr. Had it on psvr aswel and loved every blury second of that, too. But as a game, I was left feeling that if everything is procedurally generated then nothing is actually unique.. it just exists in randomised ways.

[@techinfusions]

Yes No Mans Sky is such a beautiful game now on the PSVR2, I knew that Hello Games would deliver the definitive version of No Mans Sky on the PSVR2, it looked pretty bad in February but I could see that they had not turned on all of the PSVR2 technology, they seemed to be just feeling their way through the new tech with minor updates until it was time to unleash the Kraken, and the moment they optimised the game for the new tech it just transformed NMS into a system selling VR game it just looks and plays better than high end pcvr now and really shows what the PSVR2 is really capable of, I too do not see screen mura in NMS the devs have just wrote it out of the game completely.

[@aaronhughes1759]

Thanks for the video on the update! My VR lense insert just snapped over the weekend, so I'll have to dive back in when the replacement arrives. Any chance they've added thumbstick controls for ship maneuvering? I'm slowly getting used to the VR controls, but feel the sticks would be more precise.

There are a few different Story lines you can follow that go deep and help you see the variety or you can just explore like GT in the vid.

Also just explore with friends too or get into insane battles with pirates.

I wish PSVR 2 games had an option for locked 80hz, rather than 60fps with reprojection to 120. Main issue I had when I bought PSVR2 was the intense blur when using smooth locomotion. If it wasn't for that then I could have overlooked a lot of other issues but I couldn't stand it and returned both. Going from gaming on my 4090 pc with very high super sampling and the FPS locked at the native refresh of the headset, PSVR 2 was nauseating for me. I REALLY hope the PS5 Pro comes out next year and can handle VR games at native 120hz. If they did, I'd buy it and a PSVR2 again in a heartbeat.... well and provided they release some decent exclusives on it anyway.

When the day came when it all arrived, I was like a kid at christmas but I ended up being very disappointed by the experience in a lot of ways. I maybe had too high an expectation but there were too many issues that I couldn't get over, especially given the £1k in hardware to play it.
