No Man's Sky has had no loading screens during gameplay, and space to planet transitions on full planets, since what... 2016?
The Creation Engine is just too damn old.
Edit @Dark Arc: You're right. Creation Engine is just too damn shitty, I guess. I called it "old" because the gameplay feels so antiquated.
They are completely different games though. Watchdogs 2 had less loading screens than Hitman 3, but that doesn't really mean much to say.
I'm not saying it to justify it, I'm saying that not having loading screens doesn't make No Man's Sky a better game. I think Star Citizen is a better comparison to Star Field in terms of style- and is much more empty.
It makes it better in terms of loading screens.
