NMS NEXT Full Reveal!

Anyone know what the landing pad could be on the right? The concentric circles appear as if something is going to appear on it.

maybe to prevent that a ship is arriving ?

Believe it or not, I just got around to actually checking this right now.

Looks like weā€™re indeed getting fully functional NPCs now. YES! Main wish fulfilled! :smile:

Everyone probably already pointed that out, but I did some quick editing here that shows how the NEXT trailer is a reimagining of the first No Manā€™s Sky trailer. Thought you guys might like it. : )

Wow its actually identical scene for scene
* glances over sandworm * Ahemā€¦ XD

Thatā€™s amazing, kudos to the Eagle eyed people that spotted it and bravo to those who cut it together :clap: :clap: :clap:

Edit: Oh I see it was you @PedroPBO, liked and shared :slight_smile:

Is anyone else excited about the racing? It looks like weā€™ll be able to sit back and watch a race.
Look at the Gek and his buddies, it looks like heā€™s waving him to go, as the rest of the crew sits and watch.

Imagine a system Grand Tourā€¦ Racetracks on each planet in a systemā€¦ After you finish a race, everyone hops in their ships and flies together to the next trackā€¦

Oh yes. This is going to be good.

What about starship races? Imagine if we could place those checkpoints while flying our ships as wellā€¦

That would be a great addition, something else to do on planets. It would work like a Galactic Tour where your crew can travel all over the place taking the fastest laps on the tracks. Would be cool

To be honest the racing is my least liked featureā€¦the most I might use it for is to mark a path for my exocraft from one base to another not because I have any intention to raceā€¦but even then exocraft are pretty good at making their way around terrain except for the Colossus but I never use that.

Well I never cared about racing at all, but now that we are able to see our friends exocrafts, it could be a fun thing to mess around with.

Definitely not for everyone, and it doesnā€™t fit the feel of the game at all, but might be fun if youā€™re playing with friends.

Here is a frame by frame analysis of the trailer if someone is interested.

I really love that weā€™ll be able to play as the other racesā€¦we just saw a player Gek but surely Korvax and Vyā€™Keen gotta be playabe tooā€¦it would be so amazing to play as a Korvax. And to be able to build unlimited numbers of bases anywhere we wantā€¦can you imagine what can be done with the portal network? easy to access several bases in various environments or parts of the galaxy. Also canā€™t wait to find out what the fleet functionality is all aboutā€¦something about sending it to explore the galaxy for youā€¦whatever that is about Iā€™ll be making lots of use of that.

Even if itā€™s not racing it would be cool feature, we can have those ā€œjackassā€ type moments
ā€œHi am a gek and this is the gek jumpā€ proceeds to fly off a cliff :rofl:

On an entirely different note, this is something I havenā€™t seen touched upon much in these forums but at the end of the scene with the sentinel walkers there is another type of walker joining them from the left sideā€¦it looks really weirdā€¦insect like in design but unmistakably a walker of some sort.

Ah yes the battle beetle!
I think we are getting a few new sentinels. Iā€™ve always wanted to take control of them maybe we can now. Cobra mentioned that maybe this is just the sentinels reaction to someone trolling a player. I would love to see pictures of it.

Hmmmā€¦looks organic to me. You can see what looks like a dewclaw on the back of its leg.

Yeah they could be patrolling or somethingā€¦theyā€™re not hostile at that moment. But it would be cool to have some easily accessible walkers to melt here and there without having to wait around being shot by the small ones until they decide itā€™s time to call the larger ones in.

Another thought, what if we can call critters to our side to do our bidding. like a faithful dog.
