“no Man’s Sky Will Never Run On That” – Sean Murray Talks Defying The Odds On Switch
Anyone who has played or has even been remotely interested in No Man’s Sky over the past six years will most likely have heard of Sean Murray.
I’m not sure how much you know of our history and things that we’ve done, but, almost in a similar way with the VR or Xbox version, it starts with some of the team being excited about it.
And the more I think that, the more I say that, the more excited people get.
How long have you been wanting to bring it to the Switch?
"this is the first step for us in what we see as a journey" I’ll explain two things about No Man’s Sky.
"I had always assumed that No Man’s Sky on Switch would have a different universe to the other platforms…It’s been a real surprise to me that we’ve managed to get the same universe to run"
"We really try not to promise things. We want to just instead deliver and then see if people are happy."
There’s two things from that whole six years that aren’t on the card from day one, and that’s really been because we’ve tried to pick ...
...our battles to an extent and focused on gameplay and performance and wanting what we release to be the best possible version.
"Where we want to take Switch beyond this, there’s a whole bunch of things that is really exciting." We want to just instead deliver and then see if people are happy.
I am just about to get a ton more information that I am partly excited about, partly fearing.
I am just about to get a ton more information that I am partly excited about, partly fearing. It’s super interesting for ...
...us to be able to run on that type of device. I’m too involved in all of this stuff to give you a nice simple answer.
If I look at compatriots like Elite or Star Citizen, there’s a ton of other games that are somewhat similar, and they have ...
...other business models which are funded by in-app purchases or season passes, and I think that’s cool – good for them!
Some of those games do really well and deliver tons of value. I thought it was either going to be Star Fox or Metroid. You are not old enough to remember what it was like seeing that for the first time.
Have you been back to play it recently on original hardware? Sean, thank you so much for speaking to us. Our thanks to Sean Murray and everyone at Hello Games.
