No Man's Sky Beyond - Why PS VR Is An Absolute Game Changer

No Man's Sky Beyond is the massive free update coming to No Man's Sky later this month, bringing with it support for PS VR. When Dave and Elle had the opportunity to experience this first hand, let's just say they were VERY impressed...

We use AverMedia's live Gamer Pro for PS4 capture and streaming.

It's amazing they are still making free updates for No Man Sky. I think Devs have done a lot to try turn their reputation around for the good.

The best thing is that this game is for every generation! I am from 1945, grew up with all the ideas about going to the moon which were on television from the very first moment in the form of sci-fi series. I was 8 when I saw my first series Professor Plano and the journey to the moon. Later on read all those sci-fi books in the sixties and seventies. Tried to make my own space games and No Man's Sky to me also is my childhood dream come true. Am happy to still be alive to experience it all including VR :)

I am so proud of this community :) I came to the comments, dreading all the negativity that this game got, but you all actually are positive and excited! Thank you all for being great.

Just bought the game second hand on eBay for £7 in like new condition because of this video. Can't play it now though, gotta save up for move controllers as I don't want to have anything other than the full-fat, genuine Coca-Cola fully immersive experience. Thanks Dave. Thanks access. Please, please, please keep making the best PlayStation videos on the internet. Also, not sure if I told you this in a message before but a couple of months ago YouTube unliked all your videos I had liked before on my account. Fine by me. I simply watched and liked them all again! Just a heads up! Thanks again guys!

Dave: ive had a lot of good VR experiences

Sounds like the new No Man's Sky could be the flagship for VR Gaming. Amazing.

Major props to Sean Murray and Hello Games for not cutting and running after its notoriously negative start. They've kept working on it and put out tons of content for free. Most companies would have abandoned it long ago while counting their cash

I am so hyped for the psvr update.
I love to explore game worlds in virtual reality :-)

I don't think enough people fully appreciate how crazy it is that we live in a world where VR technology is just a normal part of life. The games certainly have some catching up to do with the expectations set by modern AAA titles, but we need to keep in mind that the current wave of VR tech has only existed for a couple of years now. It took ''2D'' games decades to gradually increase the size of games and slowly standardize controls, so it might take a while. Still, the fact that there are people right now, standing in their rooms with glowing headsets on, completely immersed into worlds that only exist in the form of small electrical currents inside complicated machines, is something truly worth being astounded by! No Man's Sky seems like the perfect fit for VR btw. I was already keeping an eye on the game, but this video really hyped me up, and I now just can't wait to play it in VR!

I got the game when NEXT came out and played it for over 150 hours. Now I'm stoked for BEYOND. No Man's Sky is the best game ever for people who want to explore. What a gem, Hello Games have created. It seems the launch faliure was in another lifetime already, given how far the game has been developed and how good it is.

[ShanePlaysTV]

CANT WAIT!! Had it since day one. Love it. Gonna play it a lot more. And it’s defiantly pushed me more to buy a VR. Thanks !!!

[IvanoForgione]

I got both NMS and PSVR in 2016... best purchase choices ever made in my gaming life.

[paulcrocker]

I am a 54 year old gamer, been a gamer all my life, I purchased nms
at the very beginning and like everyone else i was disappointed at the
lack of content, it felt empty and unfinished.
However i am glad i
stuck with it and seen it grow and expand into what it has become today,
I have many games on many different platforms but i play nms 95% of the
spare time that i have and rarely visit or play other games. I would
say this has become one of my all time favourite games of my life, big statement but true.


There are a lot of angry people out there who are still angry from way
back when nms was first released, give Sean and everyone who worked on
nms a break because every single update has been given to us for free
unlike other games where you have micro transactions and it becomes a
cash cow. nms was released as an indie game but in my opinion has grown
to be a major winner and up there with class AAA titles.

I just
wanna say a BIG Thank you to Sean Murray and everyone who has worked on
No Man's Sky and for giving us all the updates and future updates for
free, When i look at how nms was at release compared to now it's crazy
what you have done and i don't know what your future plans are for nms
but wow you have won my respect and the respect of others i am sure, No
Man's Sky will be a game other game developers look up too and aspire
too.




I somehow feel like every single game i have ever purchased and played was a stepping stone to get to this legendary game.


No Man's Sky is an action-adventure survival game with 18 quintillion
planets to visit, build on and explore, No Man’s Sky has been billed as a
game that’s as infinite as the universe itself, or close to it, with
over 18 quintillion — that’s an 18 with 18 zeros after it — planets
scattered across its virtual galaxies. Even if you visited one of those
planets every second, and could travel between them instantly, seeing
the entire game would take you nearly 585 billion years. (For reference,
that’s more than 42 times the age of the known universe.) 😮


What makes a game awesome is freedom, freedom to do what you want when
you want and not have to stick to a path or mission, within nms you have
total freedom to explore a huge universe, when you want, how you want 😀

it actually makes the mundane exploration a lot more enthralling, i'm not ripping on anyone who likes it but this makes the game really appealing to me.
VR exploration build space sim is an amazing i hope it lives up to the this time

[MonsterKollector]

I’m so glad they gave the fans what they wanted with this VR update, and free to boot! Alien Isolation next please.

[ashleynewton]

I actually want to crack out the game again for this

[sindred]

Thanks Dave for making the wait for next week more excruciating. Lol

[THExXxCOBRA]

Its so amazing to see all the positivity here! A lot of you have said some pretty amazing and powerful things! Just the kind of people I want to come across in Beyond! Here is to hoping I do, see you all in the Nexus!
