Sony invites us to explore the universe of No Man's Sky in launch trailer
Yes, you read that right: 18 trillion ! We help you do the math: one trillion is a million to the power of three, or ten raised to the 18th. If you try to think that the stars in the milky way are about 93 billion, 10 billion cells in a human body and the estimated number of galaxies is between 100 and 200 billion ... the figures achieved by No Man's Sky will seem even more impressive!
And developers have released seven tips that will help you to start your journey! I propose below followed by launch trailer: happy reading and enjoy!
1. Fix your spaceship
Start No Man's Sky near your small spaceship, which won't be in good condition. Your first task will be to carry out essential repairs, fuel and to find space.
During the game, I will present some milestones, how to locate a space station, repair your ship's hyperdrive and finally travel between different star systems. However, during most of the game, you'll be free to explore as you like. Even before he left for space, there are so many things to do on your first planet.
2. Gather essential elements
The scanner of your exotuta reveals valuable elements scattered on each planet. Plutonium is used to operate various parts of your spaceship, while iron is vital to replenish your shields and shield you from hostile conditions on the surfaces of planets. It is important to get good reserves of these elements at the outset.
Combining the elements, you can create materials to repair your spaceship or empower your exotuta and your multi-tool. Other elements, however, could make big gains on the Trade Center. The space in your inventory is limited, so it is important to learn to judge what to keep.
3. Meet the sentinels
During a mining expedition, encounter the sinister and ubiquitous Sentries, a kind of Galactic police, who patrol silently each planet to ensure that the order is not disturbed. Flying here and there, scanning the area where I picked up some items to make sure it wasn't too greedy, then concentrate on me with a single eye from the Cyclops.
Once convinced that does not constitute a threat to the Galactic order (at least at the time), they leave me alone. However, their menacing presence reminds me that are always observed and I don't feel ready to tackle their fury ... not yet.
4. Explore a planet
Wandering alone for a small part of your first planet, creatures, plants and minerals only to scan. To all this, you can give a name, and then upload it to the "Galactic Library" (which will pay for all your discovery). You can also find traces of alien civilizations. The stones of knowledge will teach you words of strange languages, which will facilitate interactions with the aliens and will improve your reputation.
There will also be the marks left by travelers who are less fortunate. On the horizon, you see the smoldering debris, which you can examine to retrieve projects for new technologies or enhancements to the exotuta, the ship or the multi-tool. You will also find abandoned signal scanners, radio beacons that, with the right elements reveal points of interest such as drugstores and spaceships precipitated or transmissions, which will lead you towards valuable resources, a new multi-tool or even a starship larger or more powerful.
5. Start!
Leave the Mainland and headed for the cosmos is an incredible experience. There are asteroids to be incinerated, colossal bulk carriers to be admired and other drivers to avoid (or face in combat, if you are feeling brave). But it's only when you look at the Galactic Chart for the first time that the shocking sense of Vertigo you axle.
Every solar system's path, and each of them has a multitude of planets to be discovered, once you've got the project to a hyperdrive. The idea that each bright dot in the sky be browsable is really exciting, especially when it begins to open up the path towards the center of the Galaxy. At that point, you can feel a real goal: travel to a space station to buy, sell and create components becomes part of a larger scheme.
6. Create upgrades
The role that you play in the Galaxy is defined primarily by your equipment. The exotuta, the spaceship and the multi-tool can be modified in countless different ways and you will find many projects for new technologies and upgrades. However, the size of your inventory require you to think about what kind of traveler you want to be when you create power-ups.
If you want to focus on findings and on exploration, increase the range of the scanner of your multi-tool makes it easier to discover new species, while enhancing your mining RADIUS will help you become a wealthy merchant and efficient. If you prefer a more aggressive approach, add a plasma cannon or a photon cannon to your vessel will open the door to a life of piracy, allowing you to break down the merchant ships and the sentinels as quickly.
7. look for trouble
If you feel threatened by the look of the sentinels, or if you do not resist the desire to plunder the riches of a merchant, to start a battle is easy. But be warned, at the beginning of the game a clash may end in an instant and you are the winners.
With the right upgrades, though, you'll be able to survive at least to the first wave of Sentinels. Thanks to an enhancement for multi-tool similar to a rifle, I was able to remove some, but their revenge hit me quickly: researched with growing force, came other Sentinels, which they brought to justice. Similarly, my first attempts at piracy had a short life, as the sentinels are immediately intervened in defense of the bulk carriers.
Of course, the important thing in No Man's Sky is that you don't have to do any of this! There are so many other things that you can do in your first 5 hours of playing. You might even pass them all on the first planet without ever getting bored.
It all depends on how you want to play!
