Love how the UI is similar to Destiny's UI. Simple yet functional. Look like IGN will do an article tomorrow and maybe it will includes some more information about it.
What was shown in the IGN First gameplay.
Planets can have several moons orbiting them
Weapons and ships are procedurally generated
Dying on a planet sends you back to your ship, and you lose all of your discoveries that haven't been uploaded, as well as any resources you haven't stored in your ship or sold.
Sentinels are a race of self-replicating machines that protect planets from explorers.
There are 5 levels in the 'Wanted' system. If you kill a creature while in sight of a Sentinel, your Wanted level will increase. To decrease your Wanted level, you need to evade Sentinels and/or leave the planet.
Crystals appear on most planets, and the elements they can be mined for are relatively low in value.
Opening up the game menu allows you to access 4 different tabs; Suit, Weapon, Ship, and Discoveries.
Suits, Ships and Weapons can be upgraded by installing different parts that you can craft within the game menu.
Every discovery you make is tracked in the Discovery tab.
Installing new technologies in weapons allow them to do new things. In the video, Sean installs an upgrade for a plasma weapon, allowing him to mine different elements.
If your ship is destroyed while in space, you lose any cargo that you currently have stored.
Upgrading your suit allows you to explore on planets with toxic atmospheres.
Elements are displayed at the bottom of the screen whenever you collect them.
Flying Sentinels seem to appear at low wanted levels, and 'walking' ones start to chase and shoot you as the wanted level increases.
The PS4 Controller vibrates if you approach a solar system in the galaxy map
If you are hit by a creature or sentinel, the edge of the screen glows light blue in the general direction of the enemy.
There is animal rarity and as such depending on how common or rare the creature you have discovered is has an effect on how much you get paid for making the discovery.
The grey bar in the top left corner is your health meter.
The possibility of destroying space stations is confirmed. This will apparently give huge rewards.
You can scare away some animals by shooting on the ground.
