What I like about Elite is the passion that David Braben and the team shows towards the game.
I realize that's not just simple a game, it's a vision, a piece of art being developed by people who cares about it, who are in love with it.
Elite has its problems, every game has, but the passion they show makes it different.
These interviews are really interesting, thank you for sharing what are the driving forces behind Elite.
Braben is the best salesman for ED. Even though I find myself continually annoyed by the ho-hum state of the game, he always manages to whip up my enthusiasm. He is a very erudite man with a grand vision. Here's hoping we get more effective implementation of that vision going forward.
I like how Braben is talking about the Empire starting wars, while it is the Federation who is being actually warmongering.
Trump in Space (aka. In space, no one can hear you Trump)
+Tim “twhtly” Wheatley they have books! Wow I did not know that. Might check them out.
Gary Johnson 2016! lol.
I smell Imperial Propaganda.
Everyone knows that in the Battle of Procyon it was the Imperials who fired first!
Trump would be in the Alliance because the Alliance like independence and they have a sort of wall mentality. The Federation are more like the EU because it's run by massive companies. The modern equivalent of the Empire is probably Russia, China or North Korea! The UK is like a fragment of the Federation that's Brexited to the Alliance!
When Braben is laughing, he looks like an Vampire :-)
Wait a second. Interview about Braben, aliens hack interview, Braben ignores. BRABEN MUST BE A THARGOID!!!! AHHHHHHHH
He don't see this hack, he just watch on camera... but Thargoids must be very... very close ;)

This would be a bloody amazing universe to portray in a TV series.
Winter is coming... in space...
brace yourselves!
...and so am i.
DB's narrative is extremely interesting in that I never fully understood the Elite lore and history, now understanding this opens up huge amounts of future game play. I was hooked in 1985 and will be for another zillion years. Thank you DB and b r i n g i t o nnnnnnn.
Thanks DBOBE, learned a new word!

I am so glad that Mr. Braben is heading this project. Thank you for an amazing game.
David, I really appreciate the intelligence and thorough-mindedness you bring to the game. Thank you.
Thanks for putting this up, I really enjoyed hearing more about the cultural Background of the game, especially about the Empire. Can't wait until we can actually land on Achenar and walk the surface!
He makes the game lore/story sound a lot more interesting than it actually is in game.
All cool Sir, can we please have basic social functionality in the game so the playerbase can actually expand, please?
You need to sort out your feeds, they keep glitching out.
Anyway, thanks for doing more interviews, David. I remember eagerly watching your videos in the Kickstarter days, and thinking there was no way a game could have that much richness to it. As time has gone on, it's become clear that yes, it can! Well, okay, I'm still waiting to 'land' on gas giants and things, but given your track record, and the level of forward planning in the simulations, I know I'll be able to eventually.
They hide hidden messages in the glitches.
"You need to sort out your feeds, they keep glitching out". I actually laughed my tits off when I read this... I really hope your not serious..

+HMS Thunderchild Captain Obvious? :P
+fabske 1234 I know, but the commenter thought it was just a bug, I was only pointing it out...
The bit about the Coriolis stations gave me huge Babylon 5 vibes. I love it!
Fantastic game design philosophy sir, I eagerly await the PS4 release :-)
Great to know the mind of this man. A visionary. We need a narrative a story or a myth otherwise the universe is very cold as it appears now. Good to see this is being worked on.
Can we have the full stream up a bit sooner than the last one? pretty please with a cherry on top :)
This sounds awesome . How well is it represented in game? I've just started, but I'm not sure I'm seeing this at work. Frankly I don't quite understand the factions, reputation, influence, etc... yet.
all the npc's look like they havn't slep in a hundred years
"Man I'm so very very tired"

I want to be able to change the color of the UI and have other variations for it.
Since you said gravity is a luxury in the elite universe. Does that mean that the pilot suits have a similar function to the fitness gear on the ISS? As in, it keeps tension on your muscles to prevent atrophy or something like that? Because it would be kind of akward if my CMDR stepped out of his ship on a planet only to collapse due to his body being too weak to stand up straight.
Hidden message at 2:40, Pleiades Sector IH-V C2-5 surface image of one of the planets.
How do you know where it is
where is that hidden message huh?
Well it looks like a barnacle on the surface of one of the planets there. Meirope 5c.
It's definitely not a standard barnacle, it's something different, it has "legs" or other kind of support.
Are you afraid of it?
AHAHAHA!!!! UNKNOWN SCOUT! I KNEW IT!
I believe the emergence of alien intelligence will have a profound effect on E:D, in ways that even David Braben has not anticipated. All life requires resources to sustain itself and to procreate, so essentially, all life competes for resources. We favor those we know over those we don't, so there is always an us vs. them dynamic in play. Alien life however, will always be the "them." The unknown CAN hurt you, and millions of years of evolution have honed that lesson to a fine point within human psychology. There SHOULD be a drop in piracy post emergence, and it will be interesting to see if NPC behavior reflects that or not.
If Braben left Frontier it would die on its arse within the time it took to type 'Please don't gank me....' The guy is what glues decent game franchises together - he's passionate about what is essentially a great gaming idea. Elite could well develop into the greatest MMORPG since Warcraft. I hope it does.
was that the Thargoids?
I wish David Braben would stop trying to control current events and allow players to influence the background simulation. Community goals are not that. When 32 players raid Sol and force the cruiser in orbit to flee, that should be in the news and it should have an impact. Insistence on absolute control over the story kills emergent gameplay.
would be great to play with my friends lol sadly it's not working can't wait for star citizen
6:50 You mean, glorified cargo missions?
That jawline is unreal.
so dave so cool
The real question though: where can I get those pillows, I need space dreams
TH-cam messed up the encoding again.
What are you talking about?
They are intentional glitches with alien messages, last time it was an Unknown Artifact, this time a crashed ship(?) Not as visual.
I wanna know what this is?? I'm no artist but.. imgur.com/lINfgpc
Rick Whelan Correct, you are not an artist. What is it?
Something alien... :)
This all sounds well and good, but i wish they would hire writers and programers to write some of this stuff into the game mechanics. I feel like shifting the focus for a bit from the galaxy simulation to story and game play would be smart. Sounds like its all in his head, now lets see it in the game.
Genius.
A game developer who is passionate about the game, not the money.
what does the subliminal message mean in this video? that an alien warship?
How about some Braben bobbleheads in the store? I wanna pay for them. Why don't you want my money FD?
There already is one...
Well done OmagaSigma
If the NPCs are 'standoffish' when you first start taking missions from them, how does that explain their rudeness and downright ingratitude after attaining even allied status with the respective faction?
DB!
2:51 you start talking about the empire. they found a planet that contained Life. "intelligent life". Previously Michael Brookes has said that we weren't sure if that life was sentient or not... Thanks for the conformation Frontier :D (source for brookes here: www.twitch.tv/djtruthsayer/v/66485194?t=29m40s )
I don't think I'm ready for this... I need to get a better equipped ship... QUICKLY!
2:47 THARGOID!!
it looks like a ship to me!
It definitely looks organic
kinda looks like a scorpion.
It looks like a barnacle with legs to me.
He is very shiny :)
LOL!
The claw hands are strong in this one.
Was that a Stranger Things reference?
No. DB has dangerous claw like hands. Seriously! There is many a controller fallen foul of those bad boys. Be careful!
thedirtyfecker
lmao christ
dear David Braden firstly remove engineer module update RNG, material market, inventory; Power permanent rank and reward, CQC fill empty slot by AI and by the way solve the matchmaking unbalance issue before to work on new content.
I like my Pirates Rapey!
2:45!?!?
"things of higher value" --> boom time bio waste for cpl 100k xD
I'm a bit surprised at how negative DB is about our future, if we found a planet with intelligent life. He may be right, but we can evolve, and not only technologically. Also morally. How Star Trek treats planets with life is more realistic than this command and conquer vision imo
I think he's assuming Americans will be at the helm in future space voyages. I agree with you; we can absolutely evolve morally.
good luck with that lol, with current wars that is all being false flagged now not a chance ... all my biased opinion don't chew me for it ...
This guy is my God..! He is an absoloute genius. He was a big part of my formative years as a teenager... I had Elite on the ZX Spectrum 48, later bought it (well, my parents bought it lol I was in school) also when I upgraded to the ZX Spectrum 128 which had a few more missions, if I remember correctly. I loved reading the manual in bed at night with the short story as the intro, really captured my imagination regarding space travel. My mate had Elite on his BBC Acorn which had filled in graphics and I had vector (skeleton) graphics on my ZX spectrum..I was so jealous hahaha. Elite was still amazing on my Spectrum though, I wore that game out. Now playing Elite Dangerous and I couldn't be happier.
David Braben is a very smart man with great ideas. But he is too obsessed with simulation and forgets about making a game. ED is a great space sim, and a great experience. But as a game, it's pretty basic for this day and age.
nailed it ...still no global chat - player based trading system - stuff like that...
+Andy Artcore I think elite is definitely better off without world chat...player based Trading cold be cool thou
You know your game is good when you need to explain it's social culture.
He's explaining it to people who are new to the game or thinking of getting the game. If you play its social culture is obvious. The lore is available to anyone who cares, its just not rammed down your throat so if you just wanna play a cool space game and not worry about the universe you can.
James Saker Yeah it's my perfect game really.
2:44 alien ship !! seems... organic D: !, Pause at 2:46 and slow down the video.. the ship looks nasty D: !!!
2:40
Yawn
I won't believe anything this man says until I see it. This game is slow AF development and feels like early access.
This whole culture thing doesn't interest me at all because it won't even be in the game.
I've been blazing a trail of an idiot.
because frontier is a relatively small studio...
one question: would you rather have a nice and shiny game, with lots of things to do, giving you medal after medal, and achievement after achievement and gets boring after you´ve seen everything and have done every quest? ... or would you rather have a solid frame work, which is updated and extended over a couple of years, and you can basically do whatever *your imagination* allows you to do? sure there are limitations as E:D is still heavilly in development... but cmon. rome wasnt build in one day either.
yep it is slow (sadly) but they do it the right way ...ppl never realize that with evry update almost evry feature of the game is progressing ...its not like this is done and will not improved ; )
I really like these series with David Braben as it helps understand what the game is about. We know it is open world etc etc, but there has to be a reason, a culture and a vision behind it, that is often missed or not explained. It is great to hear the gaps being filled by this series. Maybe this could be incorporated into the "canon" part of the game back story for players in while game?
Listening to this, I don't think there is anyone more interesting than David Braben. How many could listen to someone ramble on for 10 minutes and just be totally captivated by every word? He reminds me a lot of Stephen Fry in this regard..someone you could listen to for hours. Braben's IQ must be stratospheric...with that intellect I'm wondering if he's even human? Maybe he's an alien showing us what it's actually like out there in the universe.
