Hello Games have put out a call for people to send their NMS save files in to them, which is something they did close to the NEXT update last year, so that might mean it's close...
... but last year I think they'd already announced the NEXT launch date when they called for save files so it might mean nothing.
I hope VR also means that we can use headtracking. I use an EDtracker for ED and found it added hugely to the experience and my enjoyment. So, fingers crossed for this.
Bummer. I did see something mentioned in one article but can't find it now. July, I think they claimed, but it might be speculation rather than insider info.
I'll settle for July speculation, mate, as I'm in Canada for the rest of this month and can't game until I go home anyway!
Super looking forward to this
I'm still stuck in what became my perpetual 'wait for latest update, then give it a good few months of patches, before diving back in'.
Each time i get close to starting up playing again, Hello Games seem to release a new big update and i have to wait again! one day, one day i will play NMS again............

But... but... then you never had the chance to try out all the new bugs!

unfortunately it's damn trueIndeed. Life is just too darn short to waste my time messing around with bugs (unless that was my job off course!). It is part of the 'problem' of being a modern day gamer.
He had and perhaps still has some bugs.
the first that come to mind:
base quest blocked in certain circumstances.
storage cubes built on the freighter that if you approach us you fell into the void and died (now replaced by storage rooms).
polo quests that spam messages.
bug with the new frigates and mission of the frigates.
...
Then they changed gameplay with each update:
portals that don't work, then they work, then they work and you can move into the new system, then instead you can't move into the new system.
names of elements and plants that changed with each update.
crop times and economic yield that changed with each update.
The situation was not so bad anyway, this is true. But surely the management of the development of the game was very bad.
When you play for pure exploratory taste, without going into the various and other game mechanics, however, you don't notice these bugs, and the game is playable and enjoyable.
One thing that bothers me in the post Next No mans Sky is the kind of a forced progression through pretty long tutorial - build base, do mission for this guy, hire that guy ugh... even If you decided to ignore the red Atlas orb. I wish there was the way to skip it and obtain the BP the other way. Of course I can just play creative but its not the point.
I haven't finished the tutorial yet ;-
Think I'm on my fourth attempt to restart it.
I get to the two guys in the space station every time and then kind of give up for a month or so and then restart the game after that!

I wonder if something like that will ever happen to Fdev.
Hello games realy redeemed themself after it's rather bumpy start.
NMS is only getting better wich each update, and lots of bugs get fixed rather quick, what a contrast compared to ED.
The community used to buy FDEV pizzas when big updates were being deployed.
It is hard not to admire Hello Games. The media got hold of what they were doing and spun it out of all proportion. Their building got flooded and they lost loads of work. On release NMS must have been the biggest gaming disappointment in near history (in 2035 Star Citizen might take that crown) .
Hello Games turned that Train crash around and NMS is an absolute marvel of a game.
regardless of whether that's true or not - many were unhappy, but i certainly didn't hate it, and put many hours into NMS v1.0 - i find it very hard to forgive the community for the way they reacted, recruiting people who didn't even own the game to pour hate upon NMS. legitimate complaints are understandable, but that was more like a mob-rule attempt to completely destroy HG.
...and some of those criticisms were unfounded; i myself found some of the supposedly 'missing' features during my early play (large diplos, sandy ground, plus others)
i got the impression that some of the disappointed players wanted to find all the goodies on the very first planet they landed on, and then even more wonders with each subsequent planet
imo the NMS ships handle like wounded sponges though, i really hope HG find a way to fix that
Correct.
Ok. Look, I am very glad that HG did not abandon NMS and are putting in more and more features. That's great!
However, what you just wrote is not what happened. NMS was said to include multiplayer at launch but it didn't. It was said to include taking sides with factions in combat but the game didn't have such a feature. Worse, HG initially claimed that the galaxy was just "too big" for any player to meet up with another player, which was a flat-out lie. There was nothing "spun out of proportion", HG promised features that were not in the game, and then claimed that the game was just too deep and awesome for people to be able to see said features. That happened, and while they eventually made good on most of their promises, you are not going to retcon history and say that it was all just malicious media spin.
Back to NMS: Can't wait for VR support, that's gonna be epic.
