This video took way too long to film, but it was damn worth it. Enjoy :)

The amount of effort you put in this video with editing and so on you deserve more credit.

It feels like a totally different game each year!

Nicely done Khraze :) Thanks for this. I started playing the game three weeks after Next, but have been a fan of the game for a long time before that. This really put into perspective the changes over time.

Nice one bro! I forgot how good launch no man's sky used to look.

There is still something special about vanilla's look. The game looked like nothing else out there. I wish they'd just focus on delivering on the 2014 trailer promise.

Vanilla is the best imo. It seems to have the most diversity in lush biome types, and exotic, vibrant colors. The closest we ever got to the original vision. Shame HG destroyed the game aesthetics.

I play No Man’s Sky when Next update came out and I have really good fun with my friend.

[fadicrafter]

Here’s what I prefer from each update

Next’s clouds
The Original graphics
Next/original forests
Atlas rises colors
The original water
Atlas rises outer space (planets look better in space during atlas rises)
Nexts lighting
Nexts space station
Atlas rises material (the amount of material you can get from like a single rock)

Personally I like the original and atlas rises look overall. I can live without those amazing clouds, lighting, and detail that next has. I just want the old graphics. I honestly think that the nms next made planets look worse because of its realism, colors and graphics in general. But that’s not to say that nms next has bad graphics. The graphics are good but I like the other ones better.

There’s one problem about next that has nothing to do with the graphics. It’s the base building. Back then base building was much more horrible than now but there was one thing. Whenever you scanned for a base, it would find you a location that was perfectly flat to build a base on. In nms next you can build you’re base anywhere but you can’t scan for one anymore and now the biggest problem is finding a location that was flat which is why so many people just build their base in the air, above, or in the water. I just want an option in the game where if you want you can use a navigation data and scan for a base location that would be flat and there would be a base computer module there for you.

Cool vid . I've been trying to figure out what the Galactic Hub is all about everything I read makes it sound like you can go to a certain spot in the game and find it. But I dont understand that if I'm playing by myself or joining someone else's world no mans sky isn't one server right

The ui also has improved big times. Clearer and better icons for plants and ressources and ammunition and healt bar.
Also you mentioned the creatures and ship models but not the npcs. They got a big upgrade with the next update when character customization was introduced and all the npcs got more diverse models and colors, better armor and clothing, head models etc. With the npc also buildings have been enhanced in next, similar to the ships with better textures and more details.
Also the under water bioms have evolved very much. In vanilla and atlas rises there was not much of exploring the oceans. Now we have more under water plants and minerals, more sea creatures, deeper seas with better under water lighting and shading and in total an improved visual quality.

I liked the atlas rises aesthetic the best, next sort if dulled things down way too much, I don't like the realism

[ElectroslairBlogspot]

Still love the new clouds in Next update. Maybe the best clouds in any video game.

[jollyroger]

How can I understand this? Because I often was thinking about buying No Man´s Sky but I never did it, because I didn´t like the look of it. But the "Next" look looks quite ok. So when I buy the game now, I can set the "Next" look and then i have it?

the progress is great...if I want an assy looking cartoon ill watch scooby doo.

[kafalgergedan]

Hey old friend, do you still remember me? Nice video as always!

[hjm]

nice vid dude, what are the names of the songs playing in the background?

[chriscarnage]

I played at launch and the past week. Seems that launch had a lot more color and difference amongst planets compared to this.

Someday, NMS will be the MSFS2020 of space
