From the interview IGN did with the developers (which is funny because they ignore most of the questions) it seems they felt the need to make EO more 'gamey'. Probably because that was the number 1 complaint, that it wasn't a game. The whole idea of the pulsar seems to be to add a more traditional game like element (does every game have to be a shoot now?) as well as more of a story focus and treasure hunting.
I just hope they didn't take that too far. I play EO to relax. I don't mind optionally shooting fish to heal them nor warding off the odd dangerous predator as that adds a little realism the last one lacked but I wouldn't want to be constantly watching my back and always shooting sharks.
