Don't buy the game at all yet. It's overpriced, basically can't run on PC, and the developers are basically ignoring any complaints. The last part may not be their fault as Sony may have a thing where they can't say anything without approval, but the game seriously sucks for $60 right now.
As far as I am aware the devs spent the 3 days between ps4 and PC version working on the port, hence it doesn't work. I think they tweeted out something about how they were coding an FOV slider 2 days ago.
Reminds me of when I played Nascar 2012 on the Xbox 360 (didn't have a PC worth gaming on at the time). I would motor around Bristol in roughly 15 seconds, drifting through the turns. Although, doing that ate through my tires, requiring a pit stop every 10~15 laps.
so am i just lucky then? as No Man's Sky runs just fine for me on my gtx 750ti, i do have to run it at 720p due to yet again another game developer who doesn't give a crap about anyone not using 16:9 (UI is most definitely not optimised for 4:3/5:4 screens, and i've read that it's stretched out badly on ultra-wide aspect ratios) but i'm running at default settings (medium everything, only thing i changed was max fps and anti-aliasing) and have no problem getting a solid 60fps other then when it's generating a new planet (as the planets are procedurally generated)
60fps with gameplay-specific drops below it, at medium settings, at 720p, with other issues around screen ratio doesn't sound "fine", even with a 750ti. At that point you're not really pushing the game engine to show its cracks under larger resolutions and loads, which it does easily. So, it's not a great port. Well, yet. It seems the developers are working feverishly to produce a day-one patch with a bunch of fixes in it, but honestly even after the major bugs are patched I think it'll still be a pretty mediocre port, though mostly coming down to the game engine. A small team like that can't do this thing where they stir up a hypestorm like they did. Hello Games is roughly the size of BeamNG's team, who despite their talents simply neither could be ready for a huge triple-A drop like No Man's Sky attempted.
I remember racing like that on NR2003 for a solid 15 laps trying to hunt down my friend. I wound up blowing off the hairpin and sending his ass into the garages.
one of the devs for no mans sky does have a pretty cool twitter though. But then I don't use twitter, people just link me to his tweets on occasion. Lots of him fighting anti lgbt trolls though. Apparently a transman working on a game is reason to boycott it to some
It was a 10 frame drop for about 4 seconds, more then liveable, not to mention its generating an entire planet On the aspect ratio thing, I agree, but nothing I can do about it as unfortunately most game devs seem to have decided people with 5:4 or 4:3 screens shouldn't get to play, fallout 4 is another game that does this, and that's an aaa dev, subnautica does this as well
I've had zero problems with No Man's Sky on PC. I quite enjoy it. I think the early Minecraft comparison is apt; it's a platform for future updates. It may not be a $60 game now, but I see it easily becoming one. I won't get upset unless Hello Games stops supporting it too soon. In other news, I got nostalgic and bought an original magazine ad for my first car. I had a better photo but all I have right now is my phone and it's being stupid.
I imagine that no man's sky is very similar to elite dangerous but with more diverse planets? Certainly looks like an interesting game that I would like to play sometime, but so many games so little time.
why do I even bother Trying to set up Windows 98 and Office 97 so I can write some macro viruses and VBS worms for danooct1's Viewer-Made Malware series. If you're at all interested in old malware, you should check out danooct1 on Youtube. UPDATE: no luck with Windows 98. Gonna try Windows ME... like that's going to work any better
Oh, that reminds me. I need to get Windows ME onto a bootable USB stick so I can revive my turn-of-the-century gaming rig. How are you installing it? Or is it a virtual machine?
I'm using VirtualBox. @irock365, is it okay if I quote "Both Windows 98 and ME worked perfectly for me." in my sig?
