I thought each platform had its own individual universe because what happens if somebody builds a base in Xbox exactly at the same spot that you have your base in PS5? would that work?
I'm not sure if it's related to the upcoming updates, or just game engine updates or something else. I just finished the Adrift expedition on Nintendo Switch. That platform has been notorious for not being multiplayer. Imagine my surprise that I'm seeing other people's bases all over the place. I don't know if that means that Multi-player is ready, but we can hope. I'd love to be able to play along with my grandon one of these days.
One concern over cross platform saves is going to be the numer of save slots that are going to be available. I would suspect that they might reserver a quarter of the slots for cross-platform saves, so that you can play a save on your laptop when you're away from your console, w/out transfering the entire collection of saves. I can see there being issues if you're going from a system where you've got 16 saves, with several huge bases, and you're mobile system just doesn't have the capacity for that. I'm not sure that cloud storage really helps unless they can get that cloud on a platform like Akamai, where the storage for a given user is reasonably local to the suer. If you're experiencing long game loads on your existing hardware with local storage, I can't see it being faster over the bottleneck of your ISP. That said, if the idea is to move to something like the nVidia game playing cloud, or cloud servers with GPUs that do all the rendering, and then compressing the video stream so that you're dealing with a fairly narrow bandwidth requirement for lower resolution screens and the like, that might work. I've seen corporate environments where the entire desktop is virtualized on servers at the corporate data centers, and Citrix is used to compress the desktop in such a way that you can open a browser on a multi-screen setup at home and see all of your work screens, with no need for any more complicated hardware. I'm not sure that's a workable solution for gaming though. The down side of gaming on a remote server is always going to be the triplent problem of latency of the server, bandwidth of video content, and jitter or consistency in response rates. It should be interesting to see what the setup that Hello Games and whomever they work with come up with.
OMG!! FREACKIN F I N A L L Y!! @GrannyPlaysGames-dm4hq!!! (Watch this tag not work =P) They MIGHT finally, freackin F I N A L L Y fixing Multi-player!! We can film again without tons of well, logging out and back in constantly trying to detect one another lobbies on friends list or right click to join lobby from Steam Dear god, I hope this is what it means We ALL needed this. Been far too long and broken
Have you tried glitch building? There is no game that offers the robust building mechanics that NMS offers... you can blender build and glitch build ANYTHING from ANY era in time, in Any genre! You cannot do this in any other game I know of. This is why the game will continue to have active players.
@@jimman-beard2167 its not a building game… but hey check out pax dei that games coming out on early access and its what NMS should have ….only thing nms has thats cool is the fact that it has tons of planets and u can fly out and in a planet into space… besides that i dont think its at its full potential
No the Hardware is not capable of supporting it. Heck PS4 & Xbox One really cant play multiplayer. Its too bad HG doesn't just cut them from multiplayer and put them in the same camp. (you know I'm right on this PS4 users you try to join lag out and crash) the game has evolved past the older gen Consoles and the Switch being a newer gen in name only it has about the same power as a PS3 I'm shocked HG even got the game to run on it at all.
Multiplayer cannot be fixed unless they stop support for older consoles... if they stop support for PS4 and X Box one maybe it can be fixed... Just lock PS4 and Xbox one to single player like the Switch is. As it stands if 11 people want multiplayer and 1 player has PS4 HG servers will create 2 parties and force even ammounts to the PS4 server up to a max of 8 players meanwhile the PC or new consoles can have up to 32 players load in a server. But if one PS4 user playes it ties the servers up and splits the instances... if an X box one joins it creates three instances and forces others to join.. I play PC on Steam and I've been locked out of parties because a PS4 user wanted to join. These systems are 10+ years old people just let it die and HG wont have to make the same updates for it when new patches come out. PS4 and XBox one had their time let em die!
Not everyone can afford to get a whole new system. Some of us work with what we have 🤷♂️ (I'm a PC gamer for clarity. However I still have my PS4, because I can't afford a PS5.)
@@chaos_of_ares2937 I know but there are a lot of issues holding back NMS from being better because the Devs gotta try to make a game for older gen as well as current gen... Older Gen had its time... Game devs NEED to just move on. This doesn't just effect NMS it effects many games they are STILL being made with old gen in mind... Look how that turned out for Cyberpunk said to let PS3 play that game...lmao No Console Gen lasts forever Its time the PS4 and X-Box one just fade... You also should not punish the player base of those that DID purchase the new gen by being tied down to old gen. Like forcing me a Current gen player into a lobby of old gen player when I am trying to get into the New gen Party. (IT SU-CKS) Old gen can still be happy playing the game but kick them off multiplayer just like the Switch has its limitations lets put the switch and PS4 and X-box one into the same camp as the switch. What is wrong with that? let those that have newer systems not get bogged down when PS4 players enter the same system... they are lag runners anyway ruining the immersion as they lag all over the place.
@@jimman-beard2167 no one is saying they aren't obsolete. However gatekeeping games from the folks that can't get a new console will cut off a much larger demographic than you'd think. Not necessarily arguing with you to be clear, just offering another viewpoint.
@@chaos_of_ares2937 How am I gatekeeping? HG can totally offer the same Experience that the Nintendo Switch players enjoy to the Older gen. this will improve the Experience of Everyone, as I have friends that play PS4 they cannot load my bases, and they ALWAYS lag out and Crash... this is not fun for me OR THEM...These are friends of mine but I say I cannot wait for you to buy the new system or save up Ill even help you build a PC... they reply they know and just do not EVER buy a new system, or PC because they do not have to. If HG Just do what they did for Nintendo Switch has... They still can play and enjoy the game. Just cannot play multiplayer with new gen... (not like they can anyway in current state). Nobody had these discussions defending older consoles... people just moved on, Games are just lasting longer today and Improvements made are being held back because people don't have to move on... I don't blame you for not buying a PS5 why would you want to? There are few games released for it. (Why? Because Sony keeps pumping out games for BOTH PS4 and PS5...) This undervalues the reason to move on and actually buy a PS5... If Sony just ended support then there is no discussion you either buy the new one or enjoy the older games/experience. My friends would actually buy the newer consoles or get a PC.
Maybe they are employing them to see if they can fix nms multiplayer then move them into the light no fire team
That’s an awesome idea, use NMS as a beta testing game

Maybe multiplayer will finally come to the switch. I really hope so.
People still had issuess with multiplayer?.. i had only a few but still doesnt change the fact that they still havent made nms more interesting 😩

Nah this comment is so based those old systems NEED to be put down its been 10 years 10 fkn years.
