Topic: No Man's Sky

A Switch version of No Man's Sky has been listed by Gamestop on a trade in offer list. Is it a complete mistake or an accidental leak? Take a look for yourself (It's in the Switch section between Nelke and the Legendary Alchemists and Octopath Traveler) https://www.gamestop.se/trade-list

I got a platinum trophy from the launch version of No Man's Sky on PS4, so I have zero interest in returning to the game. However, if there's a physical release, I might be tempted to double dip in sake of the collection. The game has come a long way since its failed promises at launch.

@Galarian_Lassie I've heard they have really improved the title since the borefest it was at launch. Since, if I can set aside how underwhelmed I was initially and remember how much I like the original idea, if the title comes to Switch, I will give it another chance.

I bought it recently on PS4 on the understanding that a VR mode is coming, so I doubt I'd get a Switch version unless I really take to it.

They already have it's called Starlink Battle for Atlas. It actually has a story, a point, beautiful graphics and Star Fox

I've enjoyed Starlink since launch, but it has a pretty forgettable story.
I'd be inclined to look into No Man's Sky if this turned out true.

@Toy_Link
Well that took a while, didn't it? LOL. I took a glance at the game's file size and to my surprise it's less than 12GB with all the current updates on PS4. So if this is running natively on the Switch, and isn't a stealth cloud version or something, there's a chance this could be a worthwhile physical release. As I mentioned in my previous post, I have no interest in returning to the game anytime soon, but adding it to the physical collection is a different story.

@Magician Can it be played completely offline if you choose to? I've been hoping for a port of this for a long time!!

@MarioBrickLayer Yes, it's very much like say...Minecraft. You can play it solo offline or with friends online. Although playing with friends is more fun, naturally.

@Magician I have no idea how they're gonna get that thing to run on the Switch. My PC is at least 3 times as powerful as the Switch and the game runs like garbage on my system at modest graphics settings. It will be interesting to see.

@StarPoint They'll probably dial back the graphical effects, like MLB The Show 22, and have it looking like a PS3 game just to obtain a stable framerate.

I have it on PS4 and was surprised by the announcement. Portable No Man's Sky will be fun. It'll also mean that I'll most likely finish it.

This was probably the last game where I completely fell for the marketing, and I might've even bought it day 1 if I had had a PS4 or good PC. Thank god I didn't.

But its good now, apparently, so I'm interested. I just wish I could say I was remotely as excited as I was when I still got excited about new games. :V

This was one of my highlights. I always wanted to play the game after Hello Games put so much effort into it, and now it's coming. And the best: It's not a cloud version. I'm thrilled for it

So far there's no indication of this being a cloud version of NMS.

This could join the ranks of miracle-ports along with Dying Light, The Witcher III, Doom 2016, etc.

I’ve updated the title to remove the mention of it being just a rumor.

The switch is the only console I think I really double dip on LOL.

Hopefully Sean Murray has finally learned to set realistic expectations for his games, and that it'll perform as well on the Switch as he says it does.

It's a bit like Minecraft really.

Curious about this but at the same time I'm not a huge open-world fan, even Legends Arceus is starting to bore me and I only had it for a few days. :c
