While that Dutch company attempts to get some money out of the No Man's Sky developer, Sony has gone ahead and released another video showing off one of the key pillars of the game. Last week, we got a look at exploration gameplay and this week we are getting a look at the action.
The 'Fight' trailer shows off what we can expect to find and battle in the nearly endless exploration game. Here's the full description, as per Sony's wording:
"On a planet, players are equipped with a multi-tool to defend against deadly predator creatures and mine resources. Attacking creatures – aggressive or otherwise – or mining resources will call the attention of the Sentinels, a robotic force who seeks to keep each planet in a natural, undisturbed state. The more you fight back against the Sentinels, the higher your Wanted level, and the tougher they will become – from flying drones to quadrupedal machines, towering walkers and eventually dropships.
Space is also patrolled by the Sentinels, so attacking traders for their valuable goods or scavenging resources from freighters will also see you gaining a Wanted level, with Sentinel police ships coming to defend the natural order.
It’s not just the Sentinels who you need to beware of in space – pirates will swoop on the unwary, requiring you to evade and escape or fight back to defend your cargo."
With exploration and battling covered, the next two videos for No Man's Sky will focus on trading and survival.
Within the last few weeks the game has been completed – it went gold and is ready for release, has been rated by the ESRB and Hello Games is working on the first update for No Man's Sky, ahead of its August 9th release for PC and PS4.
