OK, I'm excited.
edit: just read that bit about multiplayer. Yep, I'm out. I think it needs renaming now to Every Man's Sky.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
That's the feature that everyone wanted from the start though. Should be good.

Ya know, I think i'm about ready to give this game another go....

I've put my opinion on hold again. This next update contains THREE updates rolled into one. This is just news of one of the components of that THREE. It's the biggest update they've done so far.

this and dreams seem like perfect pack-in / launch games for ps5.
add in RDR2 and TLOU 2 Complete Editions and I'd say your launch window is looking pret-ty solid.

You might as well wait for the summer now though. Most updates change things in such a way that you may miss out of something at the very beginning of the game.

I love no mans sky, I loved it at launch.
How the hell are they still working on major content this far in with no funding from DLC?

Because every time they add new content, it's like a relaunch of the game and thousands of people buy it, either for the first time or again.

Digitally is it still full price? I can pick it up in any store for next to nothing, especially second hand where the devs don't sniff that money.

I platinum'd the vanilla version but I've been intimidated about getting back into it. I logged in and spent a few hours searching for a freighter when that patch went live, I bought a really cool one, then I shelved it for several months. I logged in again to add some base-building elements to my ship but since the underlying material system had been expanded (a good thing, IMO), I lacked a lot of the pieces necessary to customize my ship. There's some fleet stuff that I looked at and that seems cool, but I haven't played around with it yet.
It seems like a much bigger game, but since I've already explored a ton of planets and plumbed the depths of the vanilla version, I don't feel like the additional stuff is all that more rewarding or interesting than the stuff I've seen.
That said, the 'Online' is only one component. If there is a major overhaul of the faction system with some interplanetary trade, or maybe some warfare, or maybe an overhaul of the ship system, or some other features to give players a reason to stay in a star-system, I'll jump back into the game.

I've played quite a bit of this game. These updates are great, and I have no problem with the developer at this point for the questionable launch. But, I would really love to see them expand the actual gameplay.
Every time there's an update, it seems new and exciting, but the funky shooting and the poor space fights never get upgraded. If they somehow overhauled the actual combat in the game and made that aspect rewarding, all of the other grinding would feel so much more worth it.

Obviously,
You've been able to do that for ages. It's the reason I stopped playing it.

How many active players does this game still have? Might be a risky move, should just release the new stuff in a sequel.

LOL. How many times have I read this? Actually with every update so that's 6 times now.

I don't know about packing them in, but these 2 games are GREAT examples as to why the PS5 WILL HAVE TO BE backwards compatible with the PS4. No one will want to play those games, just to have to lose them because they got a PS5. That old era is over!

If they did that, people would be complaining that they are just dropping support for the first game in favor of trying to milk money out of players in the form of a sequel. People would also not buy a No Mans Sky 2 due to how the first one was released.
Much better for HG to continue to add free content updates, encourage gamer's to pickup NMS until they can no longer do so.

This will probably come only on the PS5 version.

I'm right there with you. I come back after every update but it doesn't take long for the novelty to wear off. It's still a boring, repetitive grind fest at the core. Hoping this update will be more than another shade of lipstick.

If you want to redeem yourself? This is how you redeem yourselfs devs.
I'll eventually check this out again. I had a good time on it 2 patches in. Maybe time to dive in again while I wait for Classic Wow.

huge respect to Hello Games.
they could've ran for the hills with the money they made at launch but nope...they stuck by their game and turned it around. they haven't made a single penny of these updates but yet still support the game.
i can't really get into NMS but still they have turned things around and i just hope that people don't remember them as that studio that released a broken ass missold game but one who believed in their game, learnt from their mistakes, and supported it long after launch. this is right up there with the likes of FF14 in terms of redemption stories in gaming.
the game might have had a shit launch but it's worth playing now. it's not the same game it was at launch but much more than they ever promised it would be. so i guess it's your loss.

I’ve enjoyed every version since vanilla. Had quite a profitable farm and fleet both going. Been distracted by other games, but definitely recommend No Man’s Sky to anyone looking for a fascinating game that’s like very little else out there.

They made a lot of money from the games initial sales and felt the need to deliver on what people expected. It seems that they have other things on the go with the announcement at the VGas of 'The Last Campire' : -

How many people were on the dev team when the game released? Like 20? Then they sold a few million copies of a $60 game. They’re flush with cash so the free updates aren’t too crazy.
It also helps their name out for when they release new games in the future. They establish a reputation of not giving up on what they put out.

I like that they keep on working on it. This and Elite Dangerous are my, "I'm going to listen to some Hardcore History and explore" games.

I’d kind of be hoping for new games for a new system’s launch but

You need NMS to play it. It's like every other update to the game. Pathfinder (medium sized) > Foundation (medium sized) > Atlas Rises (huge) > NEXT (massive) > Visions (small) > Beyond (3 updates in 1), the biggest update yet.

I overlooked one and added more detail:
