The technology that is powering No Man's Sky and fills the game world (or game universe) with procedurally generated planets is impressive and with the upcoming PlayStation 4 Neo at the horizon it begs to question what developer Hello Games could do with the added power of the new console.
In an interview with Daily Star creator Sean Murray said that it could do more than just prettier graphics.
"More powerful hardware doesn't just mean upgraded textures or a higher frame rate. It means we can fundamentally change the experience," he said.
"You'll see this from our patch notes - we're able to change huge things in the universe, because we have complete control. With more powerful hardware, we can have more trees, more leaves on those trees. The density or immersion of worlds, or new types of worlds could exist."
Sony is hosting a PlayStation event on September 7 and it's a good reason to believe they'll open up on Neo there.
