Do I wipe my launch save and 50+ hrs of progress in order to better experience this story now ?

My only worry is having to grind another 40 just to buy a ship / freighter again .

Also god dsmn ps download speeds suck . Taking forever to download .

 

[daxy]

What should FOV be set to on a widescreen TV?
Thanks.

Whatever is most comfortable for you. It's an accessibility feature. Max it out if you want to see as much as possible.

 

[MADGAME]

It's still possible , but it's MUCH MUCH harder.
You can still trade in space stations so by doing this you will have way less money , so it'll be harder to upgrade anything , way less ressources.
While doable , the game does want you to land on planets because the gameplay loop is made for that. How are you going to survive space battle in order to get better NPCS and better standings with a race if you ship is very weak ?And the hunt for fuel for the hyperdrive , or the hyperdrive upgrades are going to be a total pain in the ass since you won't control what goes into trade in space stations. Your language learning will be MUCH slowed down as well

This route and way of playing is ONLY for the total masochists. There are no positives at all to not land on planets to explore them and get ressources

Yeah I figured it would be quite difficult. Wasn't married to the idea of it but could have been neat.

omg you can hover in place in your ship now.

Yes!

 

[Freeman76]

So, with this latest update and the last two, does it make the game feel less grindy and farmy? In my time spent on launch I just found the game rather dull as I felt I was just roaming planet to planet trying to find the materials needed to upgrade. I never really got a ship on my own outside of the starting ship and one that I found, everything was just so expensive.

Hoping these updates fixed that so I wouldn't have to grind as much.

Its probably more farm/grind now, which is great as we have more to do and work towards.

 

[SaiyanRaoh]

Hey, did this game go up to regular price for this update? I could have sworn it was bargain priced for some time now... I don't see it on CD keys any longer and the key resellers are now almost full price. I don't want to pay full price for this game.

fov is pretty much just preference, the wider the better if you like it that way

Can anyone confirm what the new terrain generation is like, and how low flying feels?

 

[TheKingOfPain]

How's the low flight?

Just watched a stream where the guy's ship almost touched the water, and passed through rock formations.

 

[ISee]

Do we think NMS will go on sale on Steam today? I have a bit of credit to burn.

It is on sale on GOG currently. But there is no 1.3 update there yet...

[Netherscourge]

The orbs are basically place-holders for now.

Now that the netcode is in the game, they can add player models eventually.

PC modders could probably throw something basic together right now if they wanted to replace the orbs with whatever else they want.

 

[Mindlog]

Sounds like I will never see a single orb then!
Because watching the trailer with so many orbs floating around, I assumed there's like a meetup zone or your base is opened for that, something like Destiny where random drops in then I realize the infinite universe.

Players have created their own meetup zone.

I'm starting from scratch but I only had 15 hours playtime.

Players have created their own meetup zone.

This is theoretically the most densely populated solar system in the game as the guy who is there and has been streaming has seen people log in and out while playing in the system so this is likely the best place to see people; we're likely to also so a Glyph address for this system appear online shortly so we can portal to it quickly.

 

[MADGAME]

Can someone post a PS4 screen with FoV slider zoomed out at max?

 

[GeoramA]

it's cheap on PSN just get it again...

Yeah I'm considering it, but I already have three games pre-ordered coming out by the end if this month. Sigh...

 

[23qwerty]

nice meme

Awesome, did the handling seem ok from what you saw. Know it's hard to gauge from looking.

This part about joint exploration:

Use portals to quickly travel to more populated planets, or to meet up with friends.

together with this part about portals:

Interact with a portal and input a specific combination of glyphs to quick travel to a specific planet.

makes it sound very easy to join up with others on the same planet - just share a glyph combination with friends or in forums.

Yeah, do I start from the beginning.

P.S. I can't buy this game on PSN anymore because I asked for a refund at launch lol.

This is sort of the decision I'm wrestling with now. I have a nice max slot ship that I quite like aesthetically but feel like starting fresh since I used an early exploit to get it.

 

[Gattsu25]

Thanks.

Some people get motion sickness if the FOV is too narrow. If this isn't a problem for you then you might not even have to change the setting.

My recommendation is to experiment and find the value that works best for you. Please note that wider FOVs may begin to distort (stretch) the image as things get closer to the sides of the screen.

I wouldnt do that there is literally 0 reason to unless you want to start again with nothing

 

[KCroxtonJr]

Both are much, MUCH better. Flying feels less arcadey and much smoother.

 

[TheKingOfPain]

Controls looked pretty responsive.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Ah man, this is what I was hoping to hear. That's really good news.

 

[Neuromancer]

I hope everyone enjoys the update and I'm glad they're adding features but these patch notes still don't put them anywhere near the type of game that was described and hyped pre release. I hope everyone enjoys the game but let's not forget history

The game delivered on everything I wanted, and continues to improve. Sorry to hear you're still unhappy with it though.

 

[belvedere]

Still blown away you're not automatically ejected from the cockpit when landing, and you can even look around the cockpit before getting out!

 

[derFeef]

Right time to jump in I guess, thanks to the Humble Store discount.

[Jeronimo Jones]

Probably going to jump back in at some point soon, but I'm not planning to restart unless I have to.

 

[Prologue]

Putting Stargates into the game is one surefire way to get me to play again.

So its not a random place like in the older trailers?

 

[Unai]

No news about when the update will go online on Steam?

So its not a random place like in the older trailers?

It's functional now.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

Sounds like a good time to buy the game

 

[E92 M3]

Does low flight have to be activated and do freighters eat warp cells lol?

 

[IronRinn]

Ok, now this is gonna get me to jump back in. You don't have to restart with a new save, do you?

 

[Dineren]

I now really regret starting a new game a few weeks ago. Guess I'll just wipe it and start over.

 

[Drackhorn]

omg you can hover in place in your ship now.

Can you hover and turn the ship to scan the area?

 

[Phanatic8390]

For those of you who don't want to link your Steam Account to the Humble Store (I don't understand why that's necessary, first time it's ever asked me that) it's on GreenmanGaming for the same price. Source is listed as Hello Games so it doesn't appear to be grey market.

 

[SJRB]

Just started playing again, last save was from September 2016 haha.

I can't believe they still have the "keep X pressed to input in menus" thing. Bizarre.

 

[RoadHazard]

What should FOV be set to on a widescreen TV?
Thanks.

The closer you sit, the wider your FOV should be. Think of your TV as a window into the world you're looking at, and ideally you would want the in-game FOV to match your real-life FOV with regards to the screen:

This would make it feel the most "natural".

Yeah I am waiting on this too. Jumping back in after only playing about 10 hours back at launch, looking forward too it.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Is there video anywhere of the Stargates being activated and used?

 

[belvedere]

Sand planet glimpse.

Just 10h at launch sounds very familiar...

 

[panty]

I start a new game and the first system I started the game has already been discovered, what.

 

[dreamstation]

Sand planet glimpse.

Beautiful.

 

[Prologue]

Wonder if we're done with the updates. What do people think?

 

[OuterLimits]

Just started a new game. Temperature is showing Fahrenheit now?(U.S)

 

[Rosol]

The multiplayer lite is just kind of weird. I understand this type of engine and re-coding the entire game to support online multiplayer might be too much or an undertaking. I wonder if a split screen couch co op would be somewhat feasible - which people could shareplay for multiplayer on PS4.
