Here’s now the PS4 Neo could change No Man’s Sky

Speaking with the Daily StarNo Man’s Sky creator Sean Murray discussed what the game could be with the potential power of Sony’s upcoming PS4 Neo.

Murray said the Neo would “fundamentally change the experience” of the game.

“If you play another game and if they do a remaster of that game [for the Neo], what they will do is up-res the textures and things like that,” he said. “For our game it’s procedurally generated. So more powerful hardware doesn’t just mean upgraded textures or a higher framerate.

“With more powerful hardware, we can have more trees, more leafs on those trees. The density or immersion of worlds, or new types of worlds could exist. It’s a really fun thing to think about what impact more powerful hardware could have on our game and tech in the future.”

Sony looks set to detail the Neo in September.
