Don’t worry. I’ll wait. Grumpy Joe and I are good friends. We may jab at each other in podcasts and in real life, but we respect each other’s points of view. He sees me as the grizzled gaming veteran; I see him as indicative of the new gaming generation. The respect is begrudging but real. Still, Grumpy Joe has a major beef with me. And he is wrong. And it’s because of No Man’s Sky. Hi...[Read More]
No Man’s Sky is being investigated by the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority. This comes after they received “several complaints” about the game and its potentially misleading advertising. The investigation centers on the Steam page for No Man’s Sky, a representative for the organization confirmed to Eurogamer. The ASA has the power to have advertisements it deems to be breaches of its code remo...[Read More]

With all the issues surrounding No Man’s Sky, I’m glad I didn’t jump in right away. In a post on the No Man’s Sky subreddit, user Dark_Nexis reports that once he returned to his starting system, many of the objects he renamed were reset. All of the custom names for creatures, locations, and plants were gone, returned to their pre-discovery state. Funny thing is, Dark_Nexis was still credited...[Read More]
After Years of waiting and hype building around this game . . . It’s Finally here! No Man’s Sky has had more hype around it then most Marvel or Dc movies. For having such a small development team, Hello Games Created a universe with no boundaries or end in sight. The sheer Size of this game for only being 5.4 GB in size is astounding. However, Hello Games shot to reach for the stars but came up s...[Read More]

No Man’s Sky launched on the PlayStation 4 earlier this week to a lot of fanfare. The game’s performance thus far has been a bit dodgy. Developer Hello Games is aware of several issues and is “working to resolve [them] as soon as possible.” Game director Sean Murray posted a blog entry today on the No Man’s Sky site called “Issues”. In it, Murray says they’re tracking “a number of issues, bu...[Read More]
Hello Games founder Sean Murray published a post on the No Man’s Sky site describing a day-one patch for the game. From what he described, it’s less a patch and more an overhaul. To begin with, the algorithm that generates objects in the universe has been changed, and galaxies are up to ten times larger. Planets will be allowed to move in and out of galaxies with the goal of adding more variety to...[Read More]
All I wanted was my own planet. No Man’s Sky was my way to finally have one. After watching the latest video for the game, however, I may have to resort to plan B: Marvin the Martian cosplay! Hello Games’ procedurally generated universal exploration sim has had me salivating for quite some time now. The thought of blasting through space and exploring the farthest reaches of galaxies makes the Star...[Read More]
In a rather odd twist, No Man’s Sky will not require a PlayStation Plus subscription in order to play it when it launches on August 9th. Considering the game is set in a universe with significant online infrastructure, it’s a foregone conclusion that it is a multiplayer game. Hence, the game would need PlayStation Plus to play, as PlayStation Plus is required to play with or against other players ...[Read More]
No Man’s Sky, the PlayStation 4 exclusive that is poised to occupy my life for the foreseeable future, is facing another possible delay before its August 9 release. This delay, however, may be permanent. A Dutch company named Genicap is alleging that Hello Games, the developers of No Man’s Sky, used their Superformula without licensing it. The Superformula is basically a math equation that allows ...[Read More]
On May 25th, news sites like Kotaku began reporting that Hello Games’ highly-anticipated space exploration game, No Man’s Sky, was being delayed. There were no details at the time, just reports from trusted sources. On May 27th, Sony made the news official: No Man’s Sky was being delayed until August 9th. The resulting shitstorm to the news, while predicable in part, has boggled even the most cyni...[Read More]
