| 0s | last month hello games shocked the |
|---|---|
| 3s | community when they announced that no |
| 5s | man's sky was making its way to Xbox one |
| 7s | including an Xbox 1x enhanced version of |
| 11s | this ambitious space exploration and |
| 13s | survival game and now I'm joined by Sean |
| 16s | from holo games to tell us what we've |
| 18s | been missing and what we should expect |
| 19s | from the games arrival on Xbox one Sean |
| 22s | welcome I think it's fair to say that I |
| 24s | never expected to be talking to you on |
| 26s | an Xbox stage like this yeah I snuck in |
| 29s | I dug a tunnel to get here yeah well |
| 31s | you're very welcome |
| 32s | no listen I'm just gonna be cheeky and |
| 34s | open up with when is no man sky coming |
| 37s | to Xbox one oh yeah we haven't told |
| 40s | anyone yet and so July 24th is when |
| 43s | we're releasing no man's sky next |
| 45s | amazing brilliant there you go July 24th |
| 48s | and and my next potentially cheeky |
| 51s | question is what's the story on |
| 52s | multiplayer for no man's sky yes this is |
| 55s | exciting and when no man's sky launches |
| 59s | July 24th and you're gonna be able to |
| 62s | play with your friends and it kind of a |
| 64s | full multiplayer experience right and |
| 67s | this is something that like I I wish we |
| 71s | could have done sooner but I'm so glad |
| 73s | it's happening right we've been play |
| 75s | testing it in the studio for like the |
| 79s | last six months it's really different |
| 80s | experience you know no man's sky can be |
| 83s | kind of I guess a bit mysterious a bit |
| 87s | weird at times right and but like and |
| 92s | also sometimes a little bit lonely right |
| 94s | because it's it's sci-fi and I kind of |
| 96s | love that side of it but this is very |
| 99s | different it's more Battlestar it's like |
| 102s | Star Trek or waiting right it's fun and |
| 105s | funny and emergent and kind of intense |
| 109s | right so you can play with a bunch of |
| 113s | your friends like a small group of your |
| 114s | friends can go exploring right or you |
| 117s | can just come across random strangers |
| 120s | and other travelers you can pair up |
| 123s | together in a team and like just work |
| 126s | together to survive and or if you're |
| 129s | that guy you can go and kind of prey on |
| 133s | other people |
| 133s | right if that's your thing yeah yeah |
| 135s | yeah yeah so like we've got base |
| 139s | building as well so you can build bases |
| 141s | together you can build everything from |
| 143s | like tiny little shelters to like |
| 146s | complex colonies right spread across |
| 148s | like multiple planets and because it's |
| 150s | all online and those are shared other |
| 152s | people can come and visit and find them |
| 155s | we've got like this guy's very broad |
| 158s | Gabe so we've got space as well so |
| 161s | dogfighting you and your friends can be |
| 164s | involved in kind of like big space |
| 165s | battles so you can be a pirate or a |
| 167s | wingman and then there's something which |
| 169s | I really love which is the thing we |
| 171s | added in one of our updates which is XO |
| 174s | craft and vehicles right and so you can |
| 176s | race those against your friends you can |
| 178s | build race tracks on like alien planets |
| 180s | or even just lay down a little trail of |
| 182s | like your favorite path that you're kind |
| 184s | of scenic route right and so I think |
| 186s | this is like potential that everyone's |
| 190s | always seen in no man's sky right it's |
| 192s | something that I don't know it's a kind |
| 195s | of game that myself and a lot of other |
| 199s | people have always wanted to play in a |
| 202s | multiplayer world I think and I'm just |
| 204s | really excited to be able to do that |
| 205s | right yeah yep it all through a lot with |
| 207s | this game right I mean does it feel know |
| 209s | that you're getting to the point where |
| 210s | you're really realizing the vision of |
| 211s | what you always wanted from this |
| 213s | experience yeah it's it's interesting |
| 216s | like I think when we you know when we |
| 219s | come to Xbox which is fun thing where |
| 222s | we've got a whole bunch of like updates |
| 228s | over the last two years that we've been |
| 230s | working on including next and and they |
| 233s | really expand the game right no man sky |
| 236s | was always huge right it was crazily |
| 239s | ambitious right for like when when I |
| 243s | look at it those updates have really |
| 246s | kind of expanded and deepened every part |
| 249s | of the game yeah thing yeah and I think |
| 251s | that's a really important point right |
| 252s | because it's especially Xbox fans in the |
| 255s | Xbox community they may not know a no |
| 257s | man's sky as well as some other |
| 259s | communities right so tell us about what |
| 261s | is exactly going to be in the Xbox |
| 263s | version of the game that might be |
| 264s | different from what people heard about |
| 265s | in the past right so |
| 268s | when you play on xbox I mean and I think |
| 272s | this is an exciting thing for us as a |
| 273s | developer you always like you know |
| 276s | sharing this thing that you've worked |
| 278s | really hard on with other people but for |
| 280s | us in particular it's interesting with |
| 282s | Xbox because we get to make that first |
| 284s | impression with people and we have a |
| 287s | much broader and more expanded game so |
| 290s | when you play it day one you're playing |
| 293s | that that base like stupidly ambitious |
| 296s | gave the small T was baking but you're |
| 298s | also playing like for kind of pretty |
| 301s | major updates like Pathfinder Atlas |
| 305s | Rises foundation and now next right so |
| 309s | tell us about next well actually let's |
| 310s | first of all let's talk about some of |
| 312s | the key things that are in those other |
| 313s | four expansions and then let's move on |
| 315s | to next so what are like the biggest |
| 316s | things that you've added since the game |
| 318s | initially released yeah I mean Nolan sky |
| 322s | it's something that we've been kind of |
| 325s | working on and developing over the last |
| 329s | while with these major updates and the |
| 331s | thing that's been really fun it's kind |
| 333s | of working with the community and we |
| 334s | want to do that more kind of listening |
| 336s | intently so you've got like foundation |
| 340s | which was our first update and that |
| 341s | broad base building it brought kind of |
| 344s | survival mode creative mode suddenly you |
| 347s | could buy freighters and things of that |
| 349s | you could start farming and and so that |
| 351s | was like already Nomad sky was something |
| 355s | that people played for a long time and |
| 357s | like our average flight I was really |
| 360s | long but Foundation kind of massively |
| 362s | improved that right and went through the |
| 365s | roofs then we had Pathfinder which |
| 367s | brought vehicles and it also brought |
| 370s | permadeath you could expand Base |
| 373s | building a lot more you could share them |
| 374s | online and stuff like that and and that |
| 377s | for me actually was loads of little |
| 380s | things that we added in that update that |
| 382s | made the game kind of much more fun |
| 385s | actually just a lot slicker and things |
| 388s | of that and then most recently we had |
| 390s | Atlas Rises Atlas Rises was a huge |
| 392s | update and it brought a mission and |
| 395s | quest system aid process like 30 hours |
| 398s | of story really change |
| 401s | the game and got a really nice reception |
| 403s | and a lot of people playing and and so |
| 406s | that actually was the reason we kind of |
| 408s | took a step back after that and just |
| 410s | kind of went alright let's start working |
| 413s | on next which is what we've been working |
| 414s | on let's take a year and let's make it |
| 416s | the game we want it to be right let's |
| 419s | just you know do the things we want so |
| 421s | when you come to Xbox one and you ship |
| 423s | no man's sky next as well does it kind |
| 426s | of feel like a bit of a reboot for the |
| 428s | game for for you and the team at hello |
| 429s | yeah it's interesting we've been working |
| 433s | on this for two years in a way like a |
| 434s | year on next and a year on updates |
| 436s | previously that this all builds on top |
| 438s | of right and that's a really cool thing |
| 441s | and we're lucky that we have a community |
| 444s | that cares really deeply about the game |
| 447s | you know and so I get a real kick out of |
| 450s | like working on updates and kind of |
| 453s | feeding them doing things that I know |
| 454s | they'll enjoy but like I don't know you |
| 458s | know maybe one day I will feel that |
| 460s | nervous guy has been rebooted or it's |
| 463s | it's kind of done and I can't think of |
| 465s | anything else I want to do to it but I |
| 467s | don't feel like that right at the moment |
| 469s | I'm really enjoying what we're doing |
| 471s | right now and there's so many things |
| 473s | that I can kind of get excited about in |
| 476s | the future ya know this is it tell us |
| 478s | more about that I mean what's the vision |
| 479s | like after you come to Xbox you know |
| 481s | what's what's down the road for know |
| 482s | months ago well I think that is that's |
| 486s | an interesting thing right we I think |
| 490s | we're good at like oh we good we're good |
| 494s | at making games right we're definitely |
| 496s | better at that than talking about it |
| 498s | right and I think you know there's a |
| 500s | real hunger in the community to know |
| 502s | everything that we're doing and have a |
| 503s | complete roadmap and stuff like that and |
| 505s | but hopefully you know we will reward |
| 509s | their patience of not having much info |
| 512s | with just good solid content right and |
| 515s | we only like to talk about things when |
| 517s | they are right when we are super happy |
| 520s | with them right when we know they can't |
| 522s | possibly change so you know I really |
| 526s | like making games I don't necessarily |
| 529s | love talking about me you know |
| 535s | as a varied I say me seriously thank you |
| 539s | so much for being on the show I welcome |
| 540s | to the Xbox community is wonderful to |
| 542s | have you here and will you come back and |
| 543s | talk to us more about no man's sky down |
| 545s | the line oh sure |
| 547s | maybe yeah great I'll take that as a |
| 550s | firm yes thank you me pleasure as always |
