[Blam]

Now these are patch notes I like to see. Mods can only make this better.

 

[Shane89]

- Build race circuits for vehicles

To race with....

MP incoming.

 

[Skyzard]

^ time trials

At least it's not just a single vehicle - which looks pretty good. I may pick this up when multiplayer and an endgame (center of the universe) is fixed/added, if that happen in the next 2 years.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Don't understand people who say "too late". It's always valueable and worthy to at least try and undo the mistakes. I might buy the game because of things like this.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

That was a great trailer. Good job. They need to keep on adding modes and abilities. Perhaps let players tell their own story. Ground vehicles is a great start, though I wonder if they require micromanagement as well.

 

[The Ummah]

Pro support, awesome! Installing again so I'm ready!

 

[Rymuth]

OP, add 'New Trophies' pls

 

[Deadstar]

Awesome. The foundation update was great. I'll jump in again to check this out.

 

[JP]

Was ridiculously excited starting that video up!!

Sounds fantastic, they're adding so much that I want which will definitely get me back into the game again. Very happy with this.

EDIT:
I'd imagine there's also new stuff going on in the background in terms of the world building in terms of variety of worlds, landscape building, etc.

 

[falconxcrunner09]

Huh, very surprised this is getting tons of post launch support. If it ends up being a better game in the future, I would be willing to rebuy it again.

 

[TheMan]

Do have a more precise release date?

From the other thread.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Say what you will about this game, that fucking soundtrack is so good.

 

[keltickennedy]

Awesome. Going to hop back in this weekend!

 

[The Elite]

I don't have time for this right now with all the games coming out but I will put a bookmark on it to go back to later. Sounds great.

 

[talkingood]

This looks so gooooood! I've been wanting to jump back in, glad I haven't finished my trek to the centre of the galaxy.

 

[Edgy Murphy]

It's good to see Hello Games adding support to this game. I might have to go check it out.

 

[User Name Here]

Being able to share our bases is a big deal. Now we can see some cool and crazy outpost.

 

[Sini]

I initially thought that the car had some cool wheels that allowed sideways movement, but turned out they were just normal wheels. They just made car move sideways without any fancy wheels, lame

 

[vivekTO]

Do have a more precise release date?

End of the week i think, that's the best i can say!! or

PS4 updating now (had to check for update) 5.19gb

Not sure if it's doubling the size of the game, or just replacing the entire thing.

From the other thread.

Thanks

 

[Skelter]

I wish they'd announce their plans for patches. I'd like to see what's coming but for now I guess I'll wait for a sale because I'm still not sold. The vehicle looks way better than the Mako ever did in Mass Effect though!.

Someone sent me this link, if you want to take some pics and put it in the OP.

 

[R_thanatos]

Nice patch notes .

Pro support is much welcome.

Now my only question : does the hover vehicule able to hover across water surfaces ?

 

[MThanded]

Very cool

 

[vivekTO]

I wish they'd announce their plans for patches. I'd like to see what's coming but for now I guess I'll wait for a sale because I'm still not sold. The vehicle looks way better than the Mako ever did in Mass Effect though!.

Again , they are doing shadow drop thing. if they announce anything earlier and something gets delayed , they will have to face the anger of the gamers.
Also i think they are doing updates every three months from now on.

 

[vivekTO]

Thanks , Added to the OP.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Good job, Hello Games. They've done well with their post-launch support in the face of the backlash at release.

 

[Weebos]

Substantial update, I might revisit this game after one or two more and see if it is more my style.

 

[Vesper73]

Wow!

 

[vivekTO]

Say what you will about this game, that fucking soundtrack is so good.

And they are adding more to it.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Wow!

 

[Lashley]

Fair play to Hello Games, their post launch support has been decent.

 

[petethepanda]

Hell of an update!

Zelda is scratching my exploration itch at the moment but I'll definitely fire this back up to check it out for a little while.

It would be kind of incredible if NMS could eventually go from being one of the biggest letdowns (to the general audience; I enjoyed my time with it) to one of the biggest comeback stories.

 

[irrotational]

Great OP.

They have really cracked on and produced some very big updates for this game. I hope they start to get some credit back from the community in general for sticking with this, and fleshing the game out.

 

[vivekTO]

Update is out by the way!!

I will try to get it to work on my Pc/laptop

 

[Netherscourge]

Did they add a 3rd Person Mode yet?

EDIT:

I presume this means we have a 3rd person mode now?

 

[FrontalMonk]

Oh wow. I might load this back up and see what's new. I played for a few hours in 1.0 and it felt like the entire game was built around saving for upgrades to make the game slightly less painful, between inventory management nonsense with an abysmally low starting inventory and having to recharge fucking everything constantly. I might check the creative mode out.

 

[Prologue]

Don't understand people who say "too late". It's always valueable and worthy to at least try and undo the mistakes. I might buy the game because of things like this.

Better than MS and Halo collection.

Good on this team.

 

[Omegabalmung9]

Gonna try this out on the pro.

 

[Unicorn]

Ships handle differently yet?

 

[bananafactory]

Wow!

Are these PC or ps4 ?

 

[NH Apache]

Did they add a 3rd Person Mode yet?

EDIT:

I presume this means we have a 3rd person mode now?

No, only for driving, AFAIK.

 

[Netherscourge]

Steam Workshop support is definite a bonus.

 

[100%TrophyMaster]

According to PlayStation trophies a few of the trophies look pretty long/hard
Get to the center of the galaxy in permadeath mode
Get to the center of the galaxy in survival mode.
I hope they changed the distance to get to the center if so lol
Sounds difficult

 

[OldRoutes]

Better than MS and Halo collection.

Good on this team.

Yeap, I agree. It's good for business in the long run if they keep supporting it.

Makes me think they were rushed to release it...

 

[Vashetti]

Downsampling for 1080p on the Pro?

 

[i-Lo]

Reminds of DriveClub as to how progress has been made since launch day. Perhaps I'll finally pick it some time later this year.

 

[vivekTO]

Terrain generation has definitely Improved!! Some of the shots are really looking great.

 

[outunderthestars]

Great update! Getting close to getting me to jump back in when the game goes on sale again.

 

[TheMan]

Man, wish I wasn't gonna be working late tonight. I'll give this a good test drive on Friday night. I tell ya there's too much to play right now and too little time.
