Enter The Terrifying Depths in Latest ‘No Man’s Sky’ Update
Okay, so Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky wasn’t what everyone wanted it to be right off the bat. Admittedly, it was a classic case of promising the moon and delivering, well, not that. Since its 2016 release, the devs have done a lot of work to at least try to make up for the shortcomings. And in this newest update (and because it’s that season), players have been given an overhaul on underwater exploration called “The Abyss”.
The update, according to Hello Games’ Sean Murray, “re-imagines underwater gameplay focusing on some of the scarier elements of No Man’s Sky“. “The Abyss” introduces aquatic environments “with over five times more variety”, varied creature behaviors, and improved underwater visuals. This also includes “unique terrifying creatures can be encountered on the ocean floor,” as well as a new story, “The Dreams of the Deep”, that involves exploring underwater ruins in search of a freighter, whose crew became stranded in the depths of the ocean.
On top of all of that, the game now features submersibles to aid in your exploration, including over a dozen new base parts for your underwater bases. To read more on the update, you can check out Sean’s entry on PlayStation Blog.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
