Tempted to try this.

Two questions.
Can this be played with a friend from the start? As in world build together or is it always separate instances and you are invited over?

Hows it run on the pauper ps4?

Frame rates on the Xbox One X definitely haven’t improved with the update.

Runs well on PS4 pro. Better than it did do for me anyway. Didn’t see many dips.

A massive update just dropped, makes the whole game VR compatible.

Picked it up for 15 quid. Playing with a mate. Good fun so far. Very relaxing esp the music.

Is it worth it for the VR experience alone?

its technically impressive but the “game” as such is still a horrendously dull grind with very little enjoyment to be had.

Each to their own I guess. Many love it, including my son who continues to play from day 1 purchase with a few breaks in between. I certainly enjoy it but only dip in and out recently.

I'd probably say there is no real heart racing excitement in the game.

But honestly, I love just chilling out and doing some stuff before bed. It's very relaxing, always feel like I'm making some progress and can always set out with an objective for the session:

Today I'm going to build this base
Tonight I'll upgrade that ship
I'm going to get the stuff to research new tech

etc etc.

The variety of worlds is now up there as well, places feel very different.

My little lad loves seeing the new animals and planets as well.

No way. Those mad lads at Hello Games have done it. Origins update is coming this week, kinda gave me goosebumps this, a lot of the original E3 vision and vibes in here, I wont spoil it.

REDEMPTION

They've certainly built upon the original platform. I always wondered how much of this we would have had at release if not for the flood that destroyed most of their work. Looks great.

yep and Sony forcing them to release. Fair play to them sticking to the game, releasing years and years of free content. Amazing turn around.

TallPaul_S · 23 Sep 2020 at 15:03

Can't see anything about a PS5 update for this, guessing it'll just play a little smoother?

Especially given the abuse they received.

Oh my goodness, look at the patch notes...Meteors, Tornadoes, Fire Storms, New lighting, Colossal buildings...Jesus Wept. Incredible. What an update, this is huge.

Found two volcanoes/volcanos? today, still don't have the exo vehicle as I never progressed that far, how do we obtain one?

ganesh · 24 Sep 2020 at 08:01

The game still has potato graphics in VR, where’s the PS4 pro patch?

Plainsong · 24 Sep 2020 at 13:50

Looks amazing. I own this digital but not played it since release. Awaiting a PS5 patch before I jump back in.

BGGLP · 24 Sep 2020 at 16:47

Draw distance was always lacking in this game, especially noticeable when flying. Glad they’ve finally addressed that all planets looked pretty much the same. Has it made a big difference? Also is the density of trees for example much greater? Like there’s a forest etc?
