 Hey there lads and ladies it is Petrifying Pumpkins here and welcome to another episode of PSVR news. Today we've only got two things to talk about but two fairly interesting things so let's just hop right into it. So first on the agenda is a No Man's Sky desolation update that is live right now, came out of nowhere so what does this add to the game? So what this brings to No Man's Sky is basically a bit of dead space kind of a vibe or a bit of aliens kind of a kind of a horror element so what you're going to see is you're going to find these desolated wrecks out in space you either come across them or you can buy them from these like vendors around the world or the worlds I should say seen as those like infamous amounts of them you'll come across these ships each one of these abandoned ships is procedurally generated so apparently according to the No Man's Sky patch notes and all this kind of stuff no two interiors are going to be the same now that's not to say they're going to be like unique wildly unique you know I have a feeling they'll probably start to feel the same ish to some degree so in these desolated ships you're going to find basically the crew that was there beforehand is going to have like left in a hurry there's going to be hazards there is going to be you know possibly evil alien creature things dwelling in there the AI systems on the ships are going to turn on you and attack you apparently even the stories are going to be procedurally generated which is kind of interesting you're going to be finding logs from like different crew members detailing what happened on the ship until finally you find the captain's log and that will give like the final hours of the ships you know journey I'll be it's going to be interesting to see how procedurally generated that can be like I wonder if I do this 10 times is it going to be unique every single time a unique story told every single time but anyway very cool free updates it was 11 gigs for me and now however I haven't updated No Man's Sky in a long time so maybe that was included in previous updates as well but it took me 11 gigs to download this thing I haven't tried it out yet because it's basically just fresh fresh off the tweets you know so it's coming straight from Twitter to this youtube channel right here and into your ear holes now there are a bunch of other things added with this patch including some like blooming and stuff like that and even some viewer things nothing major now it's kind of like head bob when you're walking and stuff like that nothing really worth getting too excited about but the meat of this update are these big abandoned you know desolus fraser ships that you can explore and then you can get loose out of so if you're one of those people who's already put hundreds of hours into No Man's Sky and you're looking forward to more content this is going to make you very happy I think and of course anything horror related plus virtual reality relates it is going to be just they're just work off each other they amplify each other very well so I'm actually looking forward to trying this out for myself so moving on to topic number two once again we've got some alvo to talk about so yesterday alvo's official youtube channel released this video that you can see playing behind me it is a tour of their desert map environment as you can see the cameras set up they have it on a track either or maybe someone's controlling us free control basically it's giving us a good look at this desert map as you can see it's a very bright map it is kind of pretty large too I'm not sure you know what we were expecting in terms of size I think we knew some of these maps were going to be bigger especially considering you move a lot faster in this game can compare to something like firewall it's a lot more fast-paced so these bigger maps like you might think whoa these are huge but you're going to be moving faster you're going to be able to get through them quicker we've got some interiors here too of course there's different levels going on in this map so it's not just a big flat plane we've got these buildings like a little built up area and then there's like a more of a desolate area surrounding these I know what you call as a town I suppose it's a small town so yeah there's lots of potential for vantage points and stuff like that but what about Alvo itself how about that open base you know where is this so the last we heard they were going to have a virtual reality consultation with Sony that was on the 15th so today's the 16th so I imagine they had that yesterday maybe we'll get some news later on today I've been checking their discord there's been nothing yes this video went live yesterday I'm not saying there will be an update today but there might be some kind of there might be more information from the developers so I'm going to keep an eye on the discord if you're following this game I recommend you do the same and that's really all there is to say I know a lot of people who want more Alvo more solid Alvo details the release date for the base or something but these are the only kind of breadcrumbs we're getting so we'll have to make do with this and at least we're getting the map you know we're getting a look at these other kind of perks the kill streaks the dogs the drones stuff like that so hopefully it's just got to get past Sony's Q&A fingers crossed it can do that first time around not guaranteed that it will apparently it's kind of a tricky thing because Sony according to some are kind of vague with their requirements so they'll wait for you to dismiss it and then they say oh no this is wrong this is wrong fix this fix this so this could set it back if that were to happen but we'd have to wait and see fingers crossed that it won't get delayed and we have it in our hands within the next few weeks hopefully the open base at least anyway so that is it for this episode of PSVR news let me know in the comments below what you think about both these things you excited for no man's sky excited for alvo of course a lot of stuff happening soon the big one being dreams virtual reality sport coming out in like less than a week now i'm super excited for that i'm going to be doing a lot of dreams we are on the channel i
