Hello Games founder Sean Murray says lessons were learned after the controversial launch of No Man's Sky back in 2016, and it's for that reason that we aren't hearing much about the studio's next game. No Man's Sky was first revealed in 2013 and managed to garner an unprecedented level of hype for an indie game in the three years until release. Of course, as Murray remembers all too well, that hype turned to disappointment for fans who found the vacuum of space a bit too... empty. It makes sense then that he'd prefer Hello Games not to reveal too much about its next project. "I mean, look, we have learned our lesson. We don't want to start talking about anything too early", Murray told IGN . "The only reason we talked at all about [our next game] was because we released our most recent game, Last Campfire, which was the first thing to come out since No Man's Sky.

Call of Duty: Warzone Season 2 update fuelled Virgin Media’s biggest download day on record
Last week's Call of Duty: Warzone Season 2 update fuelled Virgin Media's biggest download day on record. Virgin Media said the battle royale's update, which launched on 25th February, contributed to a 24-hour period in which the average user downloaded more than 20GB of data. That's nearly 3.5GB more than the already record-breaking daily average of 2020. The Season 2 download weighed in at around 17GB. This was the update that came alongside a warning from Activision that those who own a standard PlayStation 4 with a default hard-drive of 500GB may need to make room if they have the full versions of Modern Warfare, Warzone and Black Ops Cold War with all modes and packs installed . Exacerbating the problem on PlayStation consoles at least, the Warzone Season 2 update required over 100GB of clear space before the 17GB download would start. In my case, this forced me to delete games installed on my PlayStation 5 SSD, which I subsequently re-downloaded after the Warzone update … [Read more...] about Call of Duty: Warzone Season 2 update fuelled Virgin Media’s biggest download day on record
