Yeah I was real skepticle about that early report saying NMS won't be at E3.
I'm fully expecting a full stage showcase lasting 10 minutes or so. Sony will want to build the hype for that leading into its holiday launch
Perhaps remind everyone of the size of the game by returning to that galaxy map. Perhaps even starting with the map and zooming down to a planet , warping to it, getting into some trouble on the planet with combat, jump into the ocean and find a secret save or something with rare resources , taking those back to your ship and then taking off to the systems space station, trading in the goods for a new ship , blasting off and the. Getting attacked by enemies that spans multiple planets until you see a beacon on the galaxy map, warp to that planet and discover some massive alien structure on a very alien planet swarming with wildlife and those mechs
Multiple of those alien portals can be seen inside the structure and you have to choose which one to go in, if you want go in. Player goes into one of the portals and sees a glimpse of .... Something off in the horizon .... Fade to black and then into a montage
