What i learn from Watching this video:
-Need a new GPU
-Need more Ram
-Need Better Processor
-Need more Free space
-Need more Money
+Big Boss lol
+Big Boss for short; you need money.
same
+Big Boss Kept you from playing huh?
+Big Boss I smell a peasant
People picking sides like it's a war or something...
UberPossu I pick all sides, thank you.
They argue over which one is the best but it depends on the what the gamer wants. Personally i want NMS for the art style and the fact that there is absolutely no predetermined stories. You have complete control over everything that happens.
UberPossu i think the whole fighitng thing is stupid, although i will say im not that interested in star citizen, Elite looks like a great simualtor and as far as gameplay NMS looks to be more fun for me than star citizen
UberPossu A... STAR war... perhaps... as others said it really depends on what you want as a gamer. No Man's Sky doesn't look like it's going to be a great space sim but an excellent exploration and survival game. Meanwhile Elite Dangerous is heavy on the simulation aspects and Star Citizen is focusing more on creating a solid universe.
People fighting over which one is going to be the best is silly. Chris Roberts (Star Citizen) and David Braben (Elite Dangerous) supported each others products and cross promoted them. Sean Murray (No Man's Sky) is also an Elite fan who backed the Elite Dangerous Kickstarter. If the developers can get along and love each other's products what's wrong with the gamers? It's been so long since we've had great space sims and now we're getting three. I couldn't be happier to play all of them.
+UberPossu Would be pretty cool if they had an event between the games. I know it's basically impossible, but it'd be fun to think about a war between these alternate realities.
"Antigravity movement"
It's zero-g, not antigravity. There is absolutely nothing in the universe we know of that is antigravity. Except maybe ninjas. We'll never fully understand ninjas.
***** EXACTLY.
LukeDude759 the correct term is microgravity. There is no such thing as "zero g" in the universe, either. It's a pop-culture bullshit term.
Go read up on your physics before you think you can correct people.
***** Well, no one's perfect. To be fair, though, "zero g" is still more accurate than "antigravity."
***** Correction, you are assuming that "zero G" means zero gravity(while gravity pulls you no matter what, causing acceleration, getting far enough away from an object, causes this to become negligible). You are correct that there is no such thing as zero gravity, but incorrect in that there is no "zero G." Zero G is, in essence, zero Gs of acceleration, which *does*, in fact, exist. Astronauts in orbit around Earth inside the ISS are experiencing zero G.
So please, learn *your* terms before correcting somebody.
William Thompson Correction to your "correction", William.
Astronauts in orbits are experiencing *constant* acceleration due to gravity. That is, in fact, how orbits work. When the speed of an object at a given distance from the center of a gravity well is in equilibrium with the gravitational pull from a mass (*any* mass, although in this instance, we are talking about planets*), then the object is in an obit. (meaning a circular or elliptical path around the center of a gravity well) If the object were experiencing no acceleration due to gravity, it would continue in a straight path forever (barring collision with another object).
So no, "Zero G", whether in the sense I meant, or in the sense that you meant, does not exist. Period. Space is always curved, there is no point in the universe where the curvature of spacetime is zero, because of the four fundamental forces, the force of gravity is the only one with *infinite* range of interaction.
The reason that astronauts refer to it as *microgravity* (the only correct term) is because, being in free-fall while in a stable orbit, they don't feel or experience the acceleration due to gravity that they're under. That doesn't mean the acceleration isn't there, just as not experiencing the electromagnetic field of the earth doesn't mean it's not there.
Please go back and take a physics course before attempting to "correct" anyone else again.
Real life is dead to me..
+skypjuh Real life is overrated anyway
+skypjuh Real life? .................................. Nope, never heard of that server.
+Teemu Lehto don't know either...it's always used in sentences that also contain the word "girlfriend"
never got a sensible reply when I asked what that is and where I can download it
+skypjuh No kidding right? Games are just too good now lol.
From what I heard it is a big server but full of DLC and the grinding takes forever.
I know the difference! Two of them are great games! I wonder which game isn't...
Lolololol
shots fired!
No Man's Sky is a fine game. If there's a reason people should be shitting on it, it's the lies and deceptive marketing ractics used by Sony and Hello Games.
Always the shitty Publisher. And at the end of the Day Sony is saying: "who da fucks cares about a dying developer!"
captain ent that's actually true, but they always developed it for a special group of players. Not for all the casuals like nms
No mans sky = least realistic
Elite dangerous = most realistic
Star citizen = most expensive
There you go.
It's settled, I need all of them.
This is the best attitude to have. All these favoritism wars are driving me nuts.
Wraith Wrecker For real, they all look really frigging good!
Yeah, I currently only own Elite, but I really want to get No Man's Sky(when it's released to PC) and Star Citizen when it's released. I'm so pumped that space sims are back. XD
Agreed
cherminatorDR well i would say although i have urges to buy elite, i just dont think it would satisfy my as much as SC would. looks good though. I'm definitely getting no mans sky for the creativity aspect.
Okay so this is basically how each game is categorized. No Man's Sky is an ARCADIC space game. Star Citizen is an FPS space game with some realism. Elite Dangerous is a SIMULATION space game. There you go. If you like arcade games, then go for NMS. If you would like Battlefield in space, then go for SC. And if you like sim games, then go for ED. That simple, and they all have pretty fucking nice graphics too so its a win no matter what you choose. End of flamewar.
Nope. SC is a sim as well. It's not combat-oriented, the only reason there so much combat advertisements is because of the current COD dominance so in order to reach the most people they're appealing to idiots. (Hopefully) the main game will be more about trading, exploration, and etc with combat being a necessary evil rather than a focus.
+David Ralphsky dude, they are trying to bring the heavy CoD gamers to the game, I'm pretty damn sure that game will get fucked over by all of them :/, so basically, it's going to turn into a shooter. you'll see...
The254dude add the heavy Eve players it attracts that are basically used to being space douchebags, it's going to be a party.
The254dude its actually very easy, if you want boarding action, if you want exploring in FPS, if you want Immersion, and so on. You need a FPS Modul... And plz, CoD :D it will be more like ARMA3... Permadeath of your character included...
+Vintergron I have every clue what I'm talking about.
The thing I’m happy about is how NMS went from a bad game with false advertising to a worthwhile and actually playable game with with thousands of things to do
True
For me Elite Dangerous is the most realistic of the three games because of the physics and interactions, the scale (real scale 1/1 of our Galaxy), how the travelling works through the Galaxy and the combat itself as well (hard to master but once you nail it, is the most rewarding thing + your lovely rewards).
The game is a very well done product in itself as you won't encounter game braking glitches and stuff like that...it is a true AAA title with one of the most believable worlds ever made. You really are in space...you really feel that way, can it be "boring" sometimes but it is how it is.
Some people also complain about ship models but they should know that even if Elite is based in SciFi, the ships were modelled having in mind the hostile environment, that actually thought with a realistic mind, the vast space is. A small tiny rock floating and "flying" at incredible speeds can hit your ship and destroy it in a hearth beat.
Most of the models are based in the old ones from the original game as well, at least they were loyal with that when it comes to design. Etc.
Star Citizen will be more focused in the action and that SciFi "a la" Star Wars which is really good, the first person combat looks really good and the way the worlds will be made with tons of detail will give it a more "realistic" feel to the eye of each player thanks to the level of detail achieved with Cryengine.
But in my honest opinion as of now the game is 3% of the real deal, the physics are terrible in this early stage and the combat feels way too arcade and not rewarding at all.
Ship models are cool and all but far from a realistic perspective (in my opinion), not saying that I don't like the models at all though...some are lovely looking and I'll be sure having them. ;)
No Man's Sky will be more focused to those who like to enjoy looking at something new all the time and put your name in it as well as those unknown things that will be hidden in the game while you are exploring/discovering. It has a story that you'll be discovering, it has some complex mechanics and a goal which was said by the developer.
Different approach across the same genre...I like the three games, some things are better in one, some in other...this is like playing racing simulators...you can't stick with just one of them...you should have them all and enjoy each good thing from them. Of course you'll always have a favourite among them.
Sorry, but the combat in Elite is unrealistic and arcade, the combat in Elite cant be realistic, because ED use a hybrid flight model between an airplan and a spaceship.
Just Star Citizen has a realistic flight model because CIG uses a 100% realistic flight model, the computer calculated all movements with the mass of the ship and the thruster power.
If you lose a wing or a thruster then has it an effect on your flight control, that doesn't happen in Elite for example.
Or the movement in all directions has the same velocity normally in space, but in Elite is the velocity different in all direction.
Rotate is faster than pitch in ED and pitch is faster than yaw, that is a airplane flight model not a spaceship flight model.
neob I don't even need to reply to you...but let me tell you something...if you think that loosing a "wing" in space makes a difference...you clearly don't know nothing about physics at all.
One thing is loosing a thruster and one thing loosing a piece of your ship which doesn't have any effect in zero gravity because there is no friction at all so it won't make a difference but yet the mass sure will be affecting it.
Also if you really think that the actual "flight" model from SC is realistic with those "instant" movements...you should download Cryengine and put any VTOL model in it and see how the in engine physics works. (the ones with no actual tweaks)
In space there is inertia which ED has very well implemented (your ship never makes full blown stops in the middle of all that space), there is mass which affect the way your ship moves with cargo and the way your engines "push" the ship and overall movements at the time of making maneuvers.
There are flight assist in ED's flight model which compensate rotational effects from your thrusters and also you can turn off those controls as well to see the actual inertia working.
Zero gravity is incredible well represented in ED.
Ships in SC (at this current early state) feel like they have no weight at all...all movements are erratic and instant (hence easy and arcade).
Why? think of it as in an actual realistic environment...if you are using thrusters you are applying forces to your ship and those forces makes you go in a direction but at the same time inertia is being applied because of the weight of the ship because in space even with zero gravity there is MASS. That inertia can't be 100% compensated with thrusters in real time, there are little delay/time responses once you apply an opposite force to an object while this one is rotating or moving in one direction...check how this works in SC and then check how it works with Flight assists OFF in ED and then come and have a little smart talk with me.
Imagine what happens if the SSC on its orbit today decide to change its rotational orbit...do you think that applying thrusters will change that instantly in the other direction?...
Also the sense of actual space in SC with invisible walls (again at the current state) is totally absent, to make movements in space you need to "make" curves because of how the mass and inertia works, the model of a ship won't affect completely the way the ship moves but the loss of mass sure will do.
Don't take my comment as an attack to you just in case mate but think again with facts about how something should work or not.
After all both of these games are just that...GAMES, none of them are realistic at all because all is based in fictional and theoretical implementations...is impossible to fly a ship more than light speed (now in the real world) at the moment and in both games you can do it and even go further than that.
Also not a fanboy here I on both games, one is more finished than the other and I like both approaches to how travelling around the universe should be...you may like one more than the other but facts are facts and you always should be objective with your statements.
Have a nice day. ;)
Edit: Also pitch and jaw works different in ED because of the position of the thrusters in the ship and the force being applied by each one of them is not the same (you can change each thruster (there are tons of modifications to all ships from engines, thrusters, weapons, etc, which also guess what...all of them affect the mass of the ship...so the ship will handle in a different way. Different forces applied to an object, different mass...means that the movement will be different.
If thrusters are put in a symmetrical way then the ship "should" move in a more "correct" way. That's not the case in ED's ships, forces are applied in different parts of the ship. (check the Cobra MKIII and see where the front thrusters are located and the ones at the back, then you have lateral ones as well plus the engines)
the main issue I have with ED's physics is the fact that you turn in Supercruise. Also the speed of rotation in combat is unnecessarily slow even for a ship of great mass.
***** Fanboy isnt a fanboy cause he owns both games? I'm a Battlefield fanboy but I own at least 3 CoD games. To know the enemy is to play the enemy, but to pretend one is not a fanboy when he writes roughly 7-10 paragraphs defending his game is just ridiculous.
I Agree with your point on Elite Dangerous. But Star Citizen is kinda still in Alpha if not considered Pre-Alpha. They are certainly taking a different approach on making this game.
It is far from a finished product. But as for bugs. What do you expect it to have when the games far from finished?
I look forward to all these games. Hoping Elite Dangerous has a sale and i will definitely pick it up if not soon haha.
I am here because I am disappointed by no man's sky.
And rightly so, my friend. Everyone with even the lowest amount of standards is here because of NMS.
get elite dangerous !!!!!!!!
renato muu The fact that you can´t leave your ship made me kinda disinterested in it, as well as the shallowness and massive amounts of grinding.
+MrSanghelios don't forget that elite is still in early access it isn't finished yet and neither is star citizen so probably by the time they're finished with the game they willl blaze past NMS and the fact that elite already allows you to travel across the whole galaxy, it's in the lead
MrSanghelios if it were easy everybody would do it ! Grind and grind and success comes as the pay ....
no mans sky is actually really depressing because you never see any other players
+Donte Moore what did he lie about
+Donte Moore oh ok thanks
He also lied about a lot of the content in the game. Many things are missing such as proper planet physics, meaningful npc interactions, crafting complexity, and many other things.
***** So how is that lying?
***** Your comment gave me a stroke.
To bad Star Citizen won't come out for another 30 years.
berzu21 Who said he only owns a console if at all? Dumb ass.
berzu21 Only stating the truth.
berzu21 Thank you
berzu21 with those porky fingers of yours?
Lol!
actually its scheduled for next year as of Wed the 19th BAFTA Livestream.
Aaaand the flame wars begin
who do you think will be the biggest trolls. the SC camp the ED camp or the no mans sky camp?
*****
Bu, bu, but what about Nintendo? Lol, just kidding, in the end it is all about what games you want and what you can afford. I know a lot of people who just buy a PC or console because they fell into the hype and then realize that the games the wanted weren't made for the system they bought! I myself end up buying old PC and Console games since I don't have the cash to buy a new Console or build a nice gaming PC.
same here although im already to much invested in SC. but will get nms for sure
***** I agree, I personally only have ED at the current time but will definitely be picking SC up on release. I don't know too much about No Man's Sky but I sure will give it a look.
IHasYourNoms as release gets closer, I suggest you pick up a decent pledge package. After launch, you won't be able to buy ships for real money, only in game money (of course I imagine you can buy in game money). Still getting a decently priced pledge, you can then upgrade the ship on your pledge if you like the look of another ship :) with a pledge, you get beta access, a ship, hanger, access to the dog fighting module which is live. Tis still pre alpha and they make no attempts to hide that, but so far, they're slowly but surely making good on their promises :)
2016 is gonna be a large open universe year
And NMS is coming to X1
+austin reed bull...I know you X1 fanboys wish you could get a game as good as NMS but you have to stick to the shit game like elite dangerous lol.
+tee duke no it is it's not a PS exclusive and if it was yeah I would because NMS looks amazing no need to be a total ass and who says I don't have both
austin reed lol i heard ps4 and pc only. the thing is nether games look better then the game everspace. you heard of that? i really want to get my hands on that one
+tee duke no I haven't I've heard it's coming for Xbox one also I don't know maybe not most likely and hopefully it will it'd be stupid for Microsoft not to ill check everspace out though
If no mans sky didn't look like a cartoon i'd be pumped for it.
DaNewChampp its based of 80s and 90s sci fi its not trying to be real in anyway, i dont understadn the appeal of realsim in games most realistisc games everyone claims are boring. With games like Elite Arma and Grid everyone says that things take to long to do or are too hard. And do not tell me that any video game out today looks better than the animated movies Monster Inc or How to train your dragon 2. Those movies have realtime Global Illumination lighting technology games are still a decade away from
Brendan Forish real-time global illumination in movies that are being rendered frame by frame for hours? I would not call that real-time. And as far as I am aware of, some game engines feature it, for instance, Unity 5 does. (blogs.unity3d.com/2014/09/18/global-illumination-in-unity-5/)
Animated movies are capable of having much more complex scenes and graphics due to the fact that they are being rendered on supercomputers frame by frame.
Realism makes it easier to believe in what is happening on your screen and it is helping you immerse into the game. For example, it is hard to get what is so great about Arma, it is a very complex, very slow (and sometimes very shitty) game, but you have to try playing it with a decent team against other people to understand why it is being praised by many.
technically it is realtime you just arent viewing it in real time on the cd, it still takes a computer that can run real-time GI to render. A single engine that im aware of supports it but no game actually uses it yet, an assassins creed game uses something thats close but its not quite realtime and uses only a single bounce. And the guy who implemented it into unity 5 is the same guy that added single bounce GI to minecraf purely through shader code that sacrifces only 5 fps. (at least on my computer but i have a lot of shader cores on my gpu)
Brendan Forish it is not that you are not viewing it in real-time, you are not actually rendering the scene while playing it back from a videofile. Such complexity would not be possible if movies were rendered on your PC as you were watching them. GI in videogames is indeed not comparable to what we see on the big screen. But I can say that we have come a long way and there is a lot of pretty videogames out there.
if you coded GI for a game you would do it exactly the same for a movie. Yes movies are going to have effects that are better than a game because someone else with a top of the line computer is rendering it, but that doesnt make it a different lighting effect
That moment when you realize 65 million, 65 MILLION was donated to Star Citizen. MIND BLOWN.
***** I still cannot believe it. I will forever be loyal to the PC Master Race.
72 Million now. average 3.5 million dollars income per month
Volox TV Unbelievable...
***** I wonder how hard shit is going to hit the fan when the game goes out of the kickstarter phase into the release phase. I wonder how expensive it will be for buyers in comparison with backers. 50-70$ I'm guessing. Something needs to keep the servers running
***** I hope so. I LOVED the battlefront games. That said, I'll be playing Star Citizen, probably going fully "explore and loot" mode until someone kills me. :P
Star citizen, fps, space exploration and battle sim, you CAN land on planets..... Don't live in the hype no mans sky looks fucking gorgeous but when I see Star Citizen I'm just like I NEED IT!!!!!
Thanks for the info
Why not both?
They are both so different in my opinion. The will look, feel, and play drastically different that I feel like owning both is a reasonable choice. The only one I won't be getting is Elite Dangerous (unless they bring a lot of updates). There just isn't anything to do in that game currently.
Cade Sanders cade please link ED dev vids or material on their planet side ,multi crew and fps thats not just on paper. I doubt they will have those feature before sc has it. planet side and fps is due for launch in the next coming months. multi crew and squad 42 is due for end of 2015
*****
for me why not have both is because ED is so much more expensive, especially with ED's expansion DLCs which come included with SC's base price. But that's just me. I really like the concept of milky way and correct orbital mechanics though.
***** Oh no, I meant why not both with regards to getting No Man's Sky and Star Citizen.
I picked up ED despite my better judgments. It feels as though there is a lot missing, and there are lots of times lately when I am unable to dock despite open pads and sometimes even after being granted clearance and landing properly it doesn't register.
However, I am having fun with it. It really feels like a $60 excuse to finally use my HOTAS I got about 12 years ago though.
Fanboys please shut up. All three look incredible, end of story. Just imagine gaming ten years time, my mind boggles.
Lee Croft I'm an SC fanboy.... and I agree
Lee Croft I love all three and have been following SC since a week after it's announcement. I've been reading these comments and it sickens me how dead set this community is. Like all the comments are is SC is the best it will always be the best at everything. Quite frankly that pisses me off.
My bad, i marked you as spam by accident.
aerrowskyblade Yea, I've been enjoying elite recently for its gritty combat sim, and I didnt even know of no mans sky! The game looks like a real trip and I really am excited about that release in particular now that I've seen its art styles and heard its features. Props to SC... but I don't have a personal bid on that game until its released, as I don't really like to live on promises, no matter the quantity of backing a company has.
ll WARGUNNER ll A world without game journalist who are fucking and befriending each other.
Here are the 3 games in 1 word/game:
Elite: Dangerous -> Released
Star Citizen -> Alpha
No Man's Sky -> Dissapointment
If I had enough money, I'd buy all of them, though I don't even have enough money to buy socks.
+da bob-omb101 lol
+da bob-omb101 lol you made my day sir!
+da bob-omb101 This socks...
Saaaammmme my friend and I just got fried fml😭😭😭😭😂
hahaha i like the way you thinking.
Elite is the only one thats out. This is an easy decision.
Elite gets a bad rep for being very grindy, that's what put me off it. You might want to check out reviews first.
Already have it and I love it.
Forget I said anything then, have fun.
Can you get on the ground and explore the planet?
Lawson Ashurst With the Horizons addon yes, and theyre adding more stuff to it like multicrewed ships, walking around stations and ships, carrying fighters in internal hangars. They recently added engineer modules so you could further modify your ship components too.
No Man's Sky seems to have more features and convenience than the others. Not to mention it's on consoles, upping the convenience even more.
And this is a personal level but I prefer the simplistic yet colorful art style of NMS. Feels very 'Ratchet & Clank' sci fi, like something out of an abstract sci fi drawing.
For those that still think NMS is just about exploration, do a little research and realize you're wrong.
darkhairwarrior NMS doesn't have more features the SC. More convenience sure, but not more features.
I'm not 100% up to date with SC, but here are some NMS features I know about:
-You can mine resources for various parts
-You can kill animals for the same reason
-If caught destroying a planet (mining / killing) the government assigned to that planet will hunt you down and remember you if they see you again
-If you help out a government, they will become your ally and you can call on them with the press of the D Pad and start a Star Wars.
-You can take various materials that might be very common in one solar system to another where that material is rare and gain profit.
-You can fight huge monsters that guard alien temples with worm holes
-After killing said monsters, you can take what you can carry and enter the worm hole to find badass materials and gear and hopefully not get killed
-You can upgrade your suit accordingly to your style of play (Pacifist, Pirate, Miner, Hunter, etc.)
-Music is procedurally generated, as are animal sounds (infinite soundtrack from 65days)
- Build-a-ship from scratch in case you 'die' in space. Escape pods will fly you to the nearest planet, where you might need to get past big monsters to get the parts you need.
- Use a submarine to explore the oceans, as well as fight underwater sea creatures or mine
- On top of all that, there will be a Antagonist army roaming No Man's Sky, sort of like Space Nazis.
From what I read about SC, you can't even explore entire planets...
Evan AW (DHW) :: enjoy
- A special Crossbow from Shroud of the Avatar will be in the SC-PU for those that backed for both games (still valid until April 7th, 2014 shroudoftheavatar.com), there will be other skinned crossbow with the same stats in game.
- In-game ship to ship communication will be VoIP with facial capture (web cam required)
- The game is predominantly 1st person view mode, with 3rd person vanity view without HUD
- Multi-Crew ships
- NPC and/or Real player crews
- NPC flying formation controls
- People that pledged for multiple packages, can use the extra licenses for Extra Character Slots or Customized NPCs. You can have you own crew of The USS Enterprise. Extra character slots will be available for purchase at a later time from the Voyager Store.
- C&C tactical combat on larger ships (on ships capable of installing the C&C console.)
- You can earn UEE Citizenship by doing relevant missions in SC-PU, or bribe some NPCs to get you one (for those that opted out of SQ42)
- Optional Voyager Store Items to enhance your gaming experience
- All Voyager Store items can be obtained in game via normal game play.
- Users will be able to convert real money to UEC via the Voyager Store.
- The game is predominantly PvE
- The game is made to be Solo player friendly, you can experience the full game universe alone, without the need to join a large guild (No Guild territorial zones)
- Non-consensual PK allowed everywhere, however PK-ing in UEE space can result in penalties to the attacker.
- All UEE space are Safe Zones, safe zones works as a density radius, the deeper into the UEE space the more you'll be protected from PKs
- Instanced (with attention to friends and targets of interest)
- Bi-weekly content (ships, stories, missions) & minor features updates
- Players are free to play any role they dream to be, there is no actual job description, character classes, or skill trees. However some missions / ships might require you to first pass a license test, before you are allowed to be granted permission to that special mission, or drive a ginormous ship.
- Privateering (not Pirating) with Letter of Marque, in game by the issuing government.
- Pirating (Bandits, Outlaws, Robbers) is part of the game since the game was revealed back in Oct 2012 (do not mistake Pirating with Griefing)
- Player Influenced (not controlled) economy, the economy will be self regulated by NPCs and naturally occurring production / demands
- There is no Crafting, However you can Overclock and Tweak your ships / modules / weapon parts, and then sell it.
- Players will be able to earn the right to manage a production node, however player is not able to change what the factory produces, but you can produce a slightly improved (tweaked / overclocked) version of the same parts being produced
- Existing in game Large NPC corporations will be targeting you if your business becomes competitive with theirs. (expect visits from hired Pirates / Bounty Hunters)
- Jobs are created ad-hoc, NPCs and real players are able to create missions on-demand (kill this guy, delivery of this item to such and such location, need turret gunners, etc.)
- 3 types of insurances are available in game: Hull Insurance (includes stock weapons & modules), Cargo Insurance, Upgrades Insurance (to cover non factory stock items)
- Insurances Companies will replace your insured ship back to the stock factory model with stock factory weapons / modules load-out. (replacement speed affected by availability of ship parts and factories production queue)
- There is no zone restriction for Hull insurance, it works everywhere, however Cargo / Upgrade insurances have zone restrictions, it's voided in area marked Danger Zones 5
- Ships availability and cost will depend heavily on the resources available and trade routes being free from interference by criminal activities.
- You can save the game in the SC-PU and not have your ship attacked by going into the sleeping chamber, except for Capital Ships.
- Capital Ships are in-game persistent, when you log off, it will remain in game, make sure to have enough friends or hired guards to protect it while you're away. (Corvettes class ship like the Idris and below can log off, Frigate class ships and above are considered Capital Ships)
- Non-Capital Ships are able to go into Hibernation mode (log off), by having your pilot go into the sleeping chambers, you can not log off during battle, you can only enable hibernation mode, when in a safe area.
- The happenings (News) in-game will also be featured on the Wingman Hangar shows, as well as the RSI site for an immersive feel to blurry the lines between real life vs. in-game life
- Murray Cup Racing (in-game sports events)
- Virtual Dog-fighting Arena (it's for both training and in-game prizes competition), your "real" ship won't get damaged; think the Arcade at the Tiger Claw lounge. (current design idea from CR's description is as follow, each team is allowed a set amount of points before the match begins, bigger ships/weapons cost more points, so each team can bring into the arena whichever combination of ships/weapons they want depending on their strategy but you will not be able to exceed the allotted amount of points to claim, it's the equivalent of a weight limit matchmaking system like MWO)
- Hidden Asteroid Bases
- Players can earn the rights to control space stations
- Bengal Carriers must be captured before you can control it, there will only be a few Bengals available in the SC-PU, some will be in active duty to be boarded (for pirates), other will be marooned damaged and abandoned but re-pair-able (for non pirates)
- To board or be boarded you need a multi-crew ship
- Explorers can find Alien relics, uncharted Jump Points, and other treasures / space phenomenon
- Jump Points have fixed entrance, but random exits
- Failure to chart a new Jump Point can result in Perma-death or be thrown into unknown space.
- On Perma-death you'll be looking at our own funeral through the eyes of your "Next of Kin" your belongings will be transferred to your "Next of Kin" specified during your character creation.
- Most deaths does not result in Perma-death, however you'll have your body parts replaced by cybernetic implants to replace your damaged limbs & body parts, you can buy your way into immortality with some hefty price.
- Ships & Weapons will be balanced to be equivalent of "rock / paper / scissor"
- Bigger Ship does not automatically translates into "I win" players will have to choose the Cons vs. Pros of driving each ship hull type to suit their needs.
- Ships & Weapons will have hard point restrictions, weight restrictions, energy restrictions, heat restrictions, CPU restrictions, and Slots restrictions.
- There are some hulls that are more adept at some tasks, than others, choose your ship hull wisely depending on the career you want to archive in game.
- Mining in 1st person, with the use of prospecting tools and mining stations
- Your hangar is your main living space, with option to rent a penthouse apartment on planet side.
- There will be landing fees and Hangar fees; many forms of taxes, levies, and fees will be applied in game to keep the economy in check
- Ships will age like real cars, while new models are release every year, or every few years depending on the Make & Model
- Old ships will become vintage and cost more to maintain due the diminishing replacement parts
- You can only steal other player ships by boarding
- Stolen ships can change their transceiver ID with a legit ID, at a hefty cost in the black market.
- Stolen ships can't be insured by UEE insurance agencies, however there might be some 3rd party Insurances that you can purchase at a cost.
- There are massive large scale PvE events planned by the Devs
- If you really hits rock bottom, you can always take a bank loan to get yourself a ship to start over, or you can work your way up as a crewmen for other players or NPCs
- When hiring NPCs you can see their ratings, the more skilled the NPCs the more expensive it'll cost to hire them.
- Players can rate each other after being hired for a job, the employee can rate the employer and viceversa. This is the real player equivalent of the NPC reputation system.
- SC-PU will launch with a total of 100 core systems, plus all the ones we've unlocked since then, that's approximately 125 systems & counting (plus one hidden system only known to Subscribers at Launch, non subscribers will be able to Learn the coordinates later in game)
- If your internet connection gets disconnected accidentally (or by choice) your character and the ship will switch to NPC / AI mode automatically, it'll plot a course to the nearest safe zone and run for it, it'll try to defend itself while escaping, you might or might not arrive in 1 piece, depending on your ship structural integrity. (you can find reference from the "death of a spaceman" comm-link)
- There are more NPCs in the universe than there are real players.
- Real players can drop-in "mind control" (think Matrix Agent Smith) and assume the role of the NPCs on your friend's ship (but you can not drop-in uninvited); according to Dev description, you'll have to log out of your current game, to then log back in and choose to play as the position of the NPC from your friend's ship. This applies to both hired NPCs and Customized NPCs.
- You'll be able to pick your desired starting location in SC-PU, from a small list of star systems to choose from.
- Game time is 1:1 ratio 2014 = 2944 (2013 = 2943)
- There will be some real life holidays in game, and some new made up in lore holidays.
- Guild Hangar and Storage.
- Private Guild XMPP chat, web, and forum.
- You can vote for your NPC politicians, UEE citizenship required to vote.
- No server wipe after Beta, all Beta progress will be kept for game launch {10-4 chairman Ep7}
- Zero-G FPS firefight in EVA suits
- Vanduul Trading Posts
- Cockpit decorations
- NPC will gain experience over time, as they successfully complete missions with you.
- Jump Points location and size, will depend on the space anomaly location and type. Some Jump Points will be too small for large ships.
So Star Citizen is basically a glorified Star Fox while NMS is an entire universe to do whatever
Do a barrel roll!
If that's true, then I would rather the story driven, rich hand crafted version of star fox then a huge universe lacking story and intrigue. Just my personal opinion. And you have a right to yours. Just don't mess up the fact.
I love how No Mans Sky is like how Nintendo would take the approach of deep space exploration with its vivid colors and visuals, compared to the other two. Despite it being a PC and Sony game.
Exactly
Star Citizen seems the best. It's more realistic in terms of how far we can go with technology. Also it's insanely more realistic in the ways you can make your own business, trade resources, make a crew, etc. It also has the better graphics of the three by the looks of it. I just wish I had the money to buy at least one of them :/
+RevolutionGamerHD K
In the long term, SC is the best, no doubt after that Gamescom demo they had shown just now. It's amazing.
It might as well just seem to be the best, because it's not released and none has been disappointed yet.
have you learned nothing?
fieldy409 SC at least talks and shows its audience what it is doing. They allow us to play it and proves it all the time. NMS just tells you what is will do and hopes you believe them. There is a big diffence.
I'd play No Man's Sky. Why? Because it's a bit brighter and more colourful than the others (i know space is suppose to be kinda dark but c'mon). Also i'm still holding out hope for it having some sort of party/team/guild type of thing. Space gets lonely and even though you see ships flying around all the time... You're still not really interacting much with others are you really?
+Peter Christensen I don't mind the graphics, but I really can't see why it's getting so much hype. "WOW A GAZILLION TRILLION AND 46 PLANETS AND YOU CAN LAND ON THEM!!!!111" yh, so? You can land and scan some weird looking random animals aaaand that's pretty much it. could get pretty boring really really fast. On the stuff that actually matters, like combat, the economy, ship upgrades, player clans/guilds/general interaction we have seen close to nothing.
And yet two years after their initial teaser they still show the procedural generation rathen than focus on actual gameplay mechanics. That's why I think it's gonna flop.
+Proxenos Papias I don't think you've researched properly. There's TONS of customization, you can gather materials, fuse them and sell them for a higher price, for example. Or use them for an upgrade on your ship.
+Jonathan Hylgaard you don't seem to get my point at all.
***** Nice.
Not really. But then again you seem easily impressed so...
Referring to No Man's Sky as a "space sim" is a bit of a stretch. That game is as arcade as it gets.
NeuroticLobster No it isn't.
اشاشغخعسثشقؤاثيعحصاشففاهسىشةثهس lol...tell me what part of No Man's Sky is a simulator. This ought to be good.
NeuroticLobster
Exploring Planets = Simulating a Planet Explorer
Discovering Flora and Such = Simulating a Biologist
Flying in Space = -Simulating Han Solo- Space Simulator
I could go on for awhile.
اشاشغخعسثشقؤاثيعحصاشففاهسىشةثهس I don't think you understand what the term Simulator means when it comes to gaming. By your incorrect definition, every game is a simulator of something. So stupid.
NeuroticLobster Most games are actually simulators of something as simulating something can be viewed as imitating a certain thing so any game that has you play in a certain role is a simulator
Star Citizen > Elite > League of Legends > CoD > Minecraft > Farmville > Mobile Games > Lose a leg > A date with Justin B. > ....> No Man's Care
No Man's Sky looks interesting but I have a strong feeling its the kind of game that you get really bored of in about 5 hours. Really vast but not much depth, like a kiddy pool.
Even though this comment is 7 years old, NMS is extremely large and complicated with many things to do. Currently 25 hours in and I literally have so much I didn't do and don't yet understand.
no man's sky is not the only one that allows you to land and walk on planets.. but ok
Yup, pretty sure Elite has that and Star Citizen has it or will have it too, I haven't been in the public test universe in a while so I can't say for sure.
satannstuff you can say for sure, sc WILL let you land on high cuality planets
+YOU SSH (ASDF) quality*
Jack Clancy ok
***** ok
No mans sky is a universe not a galaxy
Mark O'Neill Actually it is a galaxy. The "main" objective is to get to the centre of the galaxy
mbavalo im pretty sure the main objective is to get to the centre of the universe
Mark O'Neill I just rewatched the E3 2015 presentation. Sean Murray does mention a number of times that the game is indeed the size of the universe but also mentions that the main objective is to get to the centre of the galaxy. Since it is fiction, I don't think that they are sticking to strict definitions, because if the game is indeed the size of the universe, then for a player spawned on one side of the universe, getting to the centre of a specific galaxy will be quite a feat.
Unless his universe is also his galaxy
Mark O'Neill it's a galaxy
It's a universe with multiple galaxies :)
All you people are arguing about which games better, and I'm just like *eats popcorn*someone makes a valid point me:"Good point" *Keeps eating popcorn, and laughs at all the arguments that are going on* XD
same here
Kyle McGregor want some popcorn, my friend?
Sure
*hands over popcorn*
+Lord Sauron saweeet
its actually very simple
No Man's Sky is the exploration sim
if you like to explore the galaxy, find new planets and worlds, and feel like a sci fi Christopher Columbus then this is the game for you
Elite Dangerous is like euro truck simulator, but in space, and far better than you would expect
you haul cargo, explore systems and enter small skirmishes for bounties
Elite is basically the middle ground of all three games as it offeres a little of everything,
but if you like calm relaxing games where you work for your rewards, and want to be a space smuggler then this is the game for you
finally Star Citizen
Star Citizen, while it does have cargo elements similar to Elite, and it does have light exploration, and rpg elements
this game is basically the combat sim.
you have dedicated fighters, realistic and rewarding space combat, and a first person mode for boarding
they are also promising larger ships that will have multiple crew members manning turrets etc
if you like being an ace pilot, and exploring a beautifully hand crafted galaxy on the side then this is the game for you
Star Citizen is by no means a "light exploration" game. Every module (Arena Commander, FPS, Planetside/Social, Persistent Universe/Economy, SQ42 campaign) is designed to be complex and immersive from the ground up. Not one single module will feel tacked on, unlike E:D's post-launch promises.
Nerd Council Member ok
perhaps
but im just saying it from the perspective that compared to No Man's Sky, and the full galaxy's worth of locations in E;D, star citizen has the least amount of exploring of the bunch
that being said, and as you pointed it out it makes up for that in a multitude of ways
Half-life 3 confirmed
Nerd Council Member it will have only 100 systems and wont be procedurally generated. It will be completely explored and mapped 1 month in. wile no mans sky and ED will have large galaxys all procedurally generated
TheMovement85 What about procedurally generated content excites you people so much? MineCraft has PG but I don't cream my pants every time I come across another desert biome. Sorry to sound rude but is there something I'm missing?
Elite is being updated with free DLC that allows planet exploration, FpS, and Ship boarding. And that's because the Dev team love their game and don't want to finish working on it (It's going to take time tho:/)
And no Star Citizen isn't coming out for Consoles you guys-_- come on
Not sure about the FREE DLCs... source?
i have been keeping an eye on SC and elite for a while before i committed to SC. the level of polish and effort put into SC can't be matched but a mere update it only make sense as SC budget is many many times larger than elite's and it is increasing .
the first 2 or 3 DLCs **might** be free but once the investor starts to get impatient about the money rolling in, they are gonna start squeezing the devs, and nomatter how much a dev love his game he can't work for free. Don't get me wrong here, i really want them to succeed even though it's not a game for me. I haven't played it but i cant help to feel that Destiny have more content than ED, and that's saying something. hopefully they make a better DLC/expansion than Destiny...
Planetary exploration will be a paid DLC
as well as first person and multi crew ships
A lot
just because they're space sims doesn't mean they're similar
Elite: Dangerous is like Euro Truck with spaceships, whereas Star Citizen is more like Planetside 2 with space ships
And I don't think the developers even know what No Man's Sky is
Roy Jongejan Well I do kind of enjoy the art style, but I'm not getting my hopes up for it
Roy Jongejan Its not going for realism in the same way Minecraft isn't a mining simulator.
Art style isn't for everyone. Its ok to not like it. But knocking it for not being realistic when it has made 0 attempts to do so is just foolish.
FYI: Frontier is planning expansions for Elite:Dangerous that will allow for seamless planetary landings and walking around ships/stations/planets etc.
It took me around 150 hours of Elite Dangerous gameplay before I got fed up of it and that was mostly because I got frustrated by the grind with the whole engineering update just to get a marginally better jump range on my ship. It took me 36 hours to get fed up of No Mans Sky. That says something.
SC is quite literally the prince which was promised,just have to be extremely patient
I did ED for a week or so,got bored carrying random goods between 4 identical yet separate
space stations so i could get a slightly better ship which was another meh mobile,i think
it was an Eagle? no idea but grabbed myself a 325A on SC for whenever it comes out,probably
christmas 17 for the Persistant Universe,S42 i'm expecting probably march 17
Actually the saddest thing is I probably had the most fun in the Eagle than any other ship after that. I saved for a Viper and kitted it out solely for PvE and suddenly the gameplay became ridiculously boring. Eagle is the best ship.
+IndieB3 it seemed decent but at the time i was not really enjoying it because my best friend couldn't download the entire game for some reason,he had a tiny folder and even ringing the team in England didn't help so i shelved it as well,although before that we had already played together on that installation of it,very strange
Was it the expansion pack Horizons he/she was having issues with or was it just the game in general? I know this because my previous laptop could handle Elite Dangerous but not Horizons (the graphics card couldn't cope with the terrain generation.) Was only able to play Horizons after I built my new gaming PC.
Your expectations for SC are way too high. NMS should have given people a little lesson about over-hyping stuff. At the moment SC has practically no content and all we have is nothing but promises.
I'm pretty positive SC will be exactly the same grinding as E:D. Because that's how MMOs work: do stuff to get better stuff. Do it repeatedly to get better stuff faster.
If you expect that the trading or exploration will be more interesting in SC than E:D, you will probably be disappointed. It can be more profitable and faster, but I doubt it will be more interesting.
Elite Dangerous and No Man's Sky are not comparable with Star Citizen. Star Citizen's economy is already more complex then those 2 games combined. This fact is also the reason why it takes longer to launch the game.
First when the crowd funding for the game started, their goal was to get about $500,000 and make a space sim.
Then they got a lot more support then they could have dreamed and started thinking bigger. For example they set their final goasl higher and plan to build 50 different space ships. More systems (with more planets).
Now they almost got > 70 million dollars < ....... out of crowdfunding, almost 800,000 backers/players, about 6 studios with 300 people working on the game. They will build more then 200 ships (big and small, fully functional, probably keep building more after launch). Also they have added since the start of developing:
>First person shooter ( for boarding party's etc.)
>A more complex Economy system
>A more complex Organization system
>A bigger singleplayer
>Procedural planet development (so there will be more then 100 systems in the future, unlike the video explanes)
I probably forget some things. But the thing is, its a much bigger game and it takes longer to develop. Hell, they will never finish developing even after launch of the Persistent Universe.
I really pity the people who just started (or will start) following Star Citizen. It will take time before you really understand what is going on with this game. Reading all the Comm links haha. I follow this game for 2 years now and still find new things every day.
Sorry for my bad english. To all my Star Citizen comrades, see you in the verse :) (and the forums)
NMS looks like it will be a fun casual game and sometimes i want that in a game. for now ill play ksp it will hold me over until squad 42
Star citizen seems like a game more for the EVE and Star Wars battlefront crowd.
Funding doesn't exactly mean final quality,destiny had hella funding and a promising beta and it turned out kinda dissapointing.ED seems to hold the title for middle ground an Ill definitely get it to test the waters of the whole space sum thing.NMS is a definite must for me.Im afraid it'll be a little casual on the cool space tech stuff but I have faith.
red hoov
Bought ED today, I don't regret a thing. Best 60 bucks I've ever spent (please note, it's a bit more on the realistic side so you may not find it appealing if you're looking for battles/fun right off the bat)
Looks like Star Citizen enthusiasts don't know Roberst's past very well.
Thyr Black Mane
They're not avid space sim fans. Just Call of Duty kids looking for a quick thrill.
why is NMS getting so much hate? Not everyone wants some super complex space sim that takes up days of their lives. Hello games was smart enough to realize this and made a space sim that was accessible and appealing to those who wanted a more arcade-y sim without all the damn buttons, commands, radars, etc etc. This doesn't make anyone of them better than the other, GAMING IS A FIELD OF SUBJECTIVITY! You play what appeals to you personally, and your choices make you no better or worse than the next gamer. Jesus christ PC elitist are easily the most annoying online community since the creation of trolling.
erm telltale didnt make NMS lol. i do love telltale games though and i hope NMS works out because i always wished i could fly in my spore universe :D SC is the other one im backing for that ME1 feel with more added goodies and its single player 50 hour story line.
Grant Green agreed bro
Kacey M. hehe thanx on the subject of telltale games though i own every game they ever made. and its a studio i will always support for its superb style of casual story games. if hello games does good on no mans sky they have a supporter for life. if chris roberts fucks up star citizen he would have made a mortal enemy for life as i have thrown thousands at SC "shut up and take my money!"
i just love the story behind NMS, a small british studio undertaking a project this ambitious is inspiring, i really want them to pull this off. ive looked at space sims before but all the ones on PC were just too deep, way too many bells and whistles. NMS looks more "dumbed down" not in a bad way though.
well i agree nms will be a great casual gamer game i binge game serious games for about 2 weeks then i casual game for a month hehe. yah hello games also lost a lot of time due to the flood that ruined their studio
Just in case anyone was wondering about console release news since the date of this video. Elite has been released on the xbox preview program. It can be downloaded in the marketplace for $30.
I've spent 10 years of my gaming life blowing shit up and shooting everything that moves, which is why I'm leaning towards NMS for a genuinely different experience. That being said mad respect to Elite and Star Citizen, they both look like incredible games
+Tim Senna (timontheradio) we've all spent the last 10 years deprived of video games
however there have been lots of try hard simulators
all of them look awesome, probably pick up all 3, although I am most excited for star citizen. I prefer a hand crafted experience over a proceduraly generated one
+legendp2011 I can see why you say this, but if its done WELL, procedural generation will beat the living shit out of anything hand crafted, because it will have the capacity for near infinite new experiences.
***** I strongly disagree, I prefer quality over quantity.
+AlfredJewe1l SC has randomly generation too, well... Nothing to beat that...
+legendp2011 Hand-crafted doesn't necessarily mean quality, unless you want artificial-looking stuff. Humans are great at making straight lines, but when it comes to natural-looking things, they are outdone by computers.
Kamikaze Commie alright, give me one single example of a proceduraly generated game that has a gripping story, interesting characters with actual depth and personality. levels that are fast paced and diverse (don't just feel like copy paste jobs)
I mean just look at real life space, it's pretty empty and boring. however in movies and games it's far more interesting (star wars, star trek, guardians of the galaxy, halo, mass effect 2 ect),
what do you mean humans make artificial stuff and computers don't? A lot of CGI in movies looks more robotic than humans. those computer 3 axis camera gimbals look more robotic than natural when compared to steady cams.
I have got kinda annoyed at gamings current obsession with open world. I would rather play an amazing 8 hour game with exciting diverse levels and interesting characters than the same thing stretched over 80 hours.
Sure if you sit down enough monkeys and have them type for long enough, then they'll eventually right shakespear, however your going to have about a billion times more random nonsensical crap in-between that
I would still prefer FreeSpace 3 over all 3 of them. But hey that just one players love for story driven Singleplayer.
Right with you there on that one. Hell, I'd love to see a Wing Commander 6, Privateer 3, Independence War 3, Tachyon 2, and even a proper X4 (X-Universe does *not* count).
ukkie2000 That's what has been said, but the same was said about StarLancer and FreeLancer was said to be the spiritual successor to Privateer. While StarLancer was decent the less said about FreeLancer the better. Neither was as good as Wing Commander/Privateer.
if you wait for 6 months or so you'll see if the squadron 42 story is as good as them. read some reviews and if they are good, buy it. I wouldn't lose all hope yet cause they apparently have some great story writers on the team and Chris to oversee the project. how badly can it go?
Once again, it looks like nobody knows that StarCitizen has a fully fledged Campaign that you can even play in co-op. Its basically 2 Games in one.
Edit: I personally loved Star Lancer, Maybe because it was my first space sim but damn it was engaging.
Jack Carver It's a totally diferant game with totally diferant mechanics. FreeSpace is much more an arcade with a top noch story.
Elite: Dangerous is the best in my opinion. :3
The difference is Star Citizen will blow away everything else when it releases (as a space sim)..the problem is we still have to wait for it.
This isn't true. By the time SC is released, Elite will have more content than it.
Funny how No Man's Sky released and has no multiplayer.
The difference is that Star Citizen is amazing, and the others are shit.
By the time you get Star Citizen, Elite will have more content.
Wraith Wrecker and yet it still won't have kept its promise to be playable offline... quality>quantity
That has literally nothing to do with the quality of the game. Besides, you have no proof that SC will keep all of *its* promises, so don't get ahead f yourself.
The difference is that one is filled with fanboys, and the other aren't.
Wraith Wrecker you have proof it won't?... and quality can mean a lot of things... for instance can elite dangerous push a r9 270 graphics card and up to its limits?... can elite dangerous deliver high quality ships and damage states anywhere near to SC's pre alpha?...
The answer to every question is... NO
All this said ED is still higher quality than No man's is likely going to be.
It's 2021 and now only two of these three have had an actual release
I've never seen the appeal of No Man's Sky, really. Seems extremely arcade-y and lacks immersion. I've been thinking about getting Elite: Dangerous, but everyone I know who plays it says it's extremely malnourished in terms of content. I'll probably wait and see if the devs add more content (and DON'T charge extra). I'm having a blast in Star Citizen's Arena Commander, even if I do have the worst ship in the game. Really excited for what that game is gonna be in the near future.
It's because it looks arcade-y that it has an audience. Not everyone who wants to fly through space is looking to do so in a complicated simulator fashion. It's going for a slightly different audience which is totally cool, it means more people can get their hands on a sci-fi ship flying experience in a way that suits their tastes.
What Matthew said. Some people just want to fly around/walk around and explore beautiful landscape and flora and fauna. I like my complex sims, but sometimes, i am just not in the mood for those type of games. Sometimes, i don't really want realism, i just want to relax. Besides, realism isn't required for immersion. That way, fantasy RPG games like Skyrim would never be immersive, yet they are.
José Medeiros
Oh indeed, I'm not speaking for what the quality of the final game will be, just saying it's not hard to see why there's an appeal there. There are other demographics who like Sci-fi stuff who aren't into hardcore simulators.
Pending reviews, I'll get No Man's Sky as well. It may have more in common with minecraft than a proper space opera flight sim, but the ability to fly down and explore every inch of the planet is very appealing.
TESI303
Indeed. I've heard a lot of people speaking about that concept like it would be a bad thing, but would it really? If anything given what Star Citizen and Elite seem to be going for is rather similar, I think having a game that's nothing like either one would be way better. I don't want three games that are all trying to be the same thing. If two are more combat orientated and one is exploration based I would be a lot happier.
Star Citizen is now doing EVERYTHING no man's sky is doing - exploration, classification of planets, landing wherever, procedural generation beyond the 100 systems infinitely. WOOO SC! Could you maybe do an updated one of these?
Good point. However, the business model is promised to change after alpha. Because it IS still in alpha 2.3 Pay more for better quality?
have fun
Except SC doesn't even charge you for a ship unless you buy it
2018 now and Star Citizen its nowhere to be seen, elite and no mans sky are very real and fuctional games now and SC sell´s ship bundles at 27k dollars....
Why not playing all 3? I have already 2 of them :D
jaumem9 an I know which 2. technically you own 1.5 then. I also own the .5
No man's sky probably isnt on that list yet
@5:18. You missed one important part. Star Citizen© wasn't released in 2016
elite is on sale on steam right now!!!
should I buy it!?
For sure you should, if you're sure it's the game for you.
+jetfree730 If you like being nickled and dimed for every line of code, buy it. Frontier is a greedy as shit.
+jetfree730 The simple answer is if your PC is ready and able, then hell yes.
+Atanas Tripzter One expansion pack promising years worth of updates and content=nickel and diming.
Alright.
slingshotmcoy Actually One expansion only pays for 1 year of updates and content, not many years as you state. Next year you'll have to pay again to get next years expansion pack and updates, Then the year after you'll have to pay again and so on. That is the definition of nickle and diming. Seeing how little content was added to ED the entire last year i don't expect Frontier to add much more to Horizons than we already have.
3 Epic games... Can't really choose which one's the best.. Might as well say fuck it and buy all 3.. xDD
me too man
I did.
I'll buy NMS and SC.
Elite Dangerous is really fun to play..
YeshuaReigns
Traveling the whole Galaxy is quite adventurous.. Also, not ALL you haul is fish.. There's these beautiful things that they just invented.. You might know what they are, then again you're saying that I haul fish, and nothing else...
Anyways, this new feature that I speak of is called UPDATES.. It happens on a weekly basis.. Especially for games such as this one.. You ought to look it up sometime.. I've never hauled fish once in this game, so check what you say before posting it..
SC isn't even comparable, its going to be real life...case and point? While No Man's crafting is "Gathering Resources" and and "Crafting" items. SC you Gather resources, transport or hire a transport to take them to a refinery, the refinery puts out ingots, steel, electronics, which then get transported to a factory, which is supported by NPCs who need food, entertainment to keep the factory running, the factory producers parts, which then get shipped to the yards to build ships, parts, weapons, missiles. In the end over 50-100 ships will have been involved escorting, transporting, or pirating the goods. (Not to mentions the hundreds of workers) Now what i just described is only 1% of what SC has to offer. Not only this but you could play SC and never leave the planet's surface, and just run factories and become a business tycoon.
Elite has much of the same, without the tycoon feel.. You can trade together in wings, play the game now (!) land on planets and drive around, (DLC) and soon play it as a FPS in Spaace!
SC isnt rushing, so i love that you cant play the full game now. i love that they are taking the billions of crowd funding and putting it to good use taking on project after project and making sure it meets satisfaction before pushing it into the alpha. time is money and in their case they have a shit ton of it.. they are doing a great job
+Anthony Rodriguez I love how it's not out and they swallowed crowd funding, unlike Elite? And how Elite is out already, and worth $60? Elite is FUN. SC isn't OUT.
Do you have a link for the source of these info? last i heard, SC isnt even out yet so where did you play (i assume you played it so you would know) all these features
+Marc Marcher SC is $40 for alpha.. Seems like a P2P deal ("Package" for $40 contains one ship and credits) but I'm sticking with Elite
This just reminds me of the many hours I spent in Spore: GA; exploring that galaxy, whooping the Grox, and traveling to the galaxy's center. Such a great game! For those of you lying in wait for NMS's release, you might try Spore in the mean time. Considering its age, you probably can get it for pretty cheap. It's very worth it.
They are all impressive but the technological advancement made in no mans sky for gaming is far more impressive
And what exactly would that be? A random generator?
sdfghj123456 Making those powerful algorithms not only proceduraly generate a unique experience for each player, but making it so it doesn't break the game, is incredibly impressive. The amount of variables in that game is really vast.
*****
Look, they could have an infinite number of planets, it doesn't matter. If I spent ~30 minutes per planet and about the same time in space and play this game for, let's say, 100 hours, I'm going to see only 100 of those. I realize that their technology might be cool but as a player I simply do not care if there is a tree in a certain spot or the local wildlife has green fur. What I like is an interesting experience. If I start to recognize patterns after 10-20 planets I lose interest. So far, they have not shown any meaningful gameplay. I can only advise everyone to wait for the first reviews and not preorder this.
sdfghj123456 Oh yes, I agree with waiting and seeing. For all we know their engine does not work and they bit off more than they can chew. I agree with you there.
But the main point is that if it works the way they say, it is a very big advancement for gaming.
I'm not trying to sell the game to you, just trying to explain the point the first person was making.
Elite is on xb1
+Oliver Pilkington As a dickhole PC Masterrace Guy I have to say:"häm, häm, I poo on that!".
+patrick ahrens I wasn't saying i play Xbox I was just saying that it is there I've seen ads
+Oliver Pilkington I have it on both pc and xbone and i play on xbone more because it is the exact same game and i don't have money for a joystick so the controller feels better. It still has the great graphics of pc and a good stable frame-rate and the way they set up the controller to make the 100 million controls easier to accsess
+Handmade Basket Xbox One doesn't have the PC graphics, you can plug every controller in your pc so you don't have to use a joystick, 30fps sucks, controlelr setup is not different from pc.
GG you have the game on xbox one only for sure.
Darth Nihilus
like minecraft on XBOX
The difference is no man's sky and elite dangerous are actually playable
People seem to forget that No man's sky also features fps combat, though it is not the main focus. Also No man's sky spawns everyone one the same starting galaxy but are spread far apart meaning that encounters with other humans are rare. It's a game for people who want to explore space and see what it has to offer which is different to what SC and ED offer. I want to explore the vast reaches of space one day but our technology as of now is just not there yet. So in order to satisfy my frustrations I could just play No man's sky. Also The creators are thinking about being able to build your own space station as an update to the finish product.
This video was nice and all, but I was hoping it would go a little bit more into what kind of playstyle each has more of. Like is a certain game far more multiplayer oriented, one of them more exploration oriented, one more combat oriented, etc.
No man's sky is definitely more exploration oriented but as to play style I think that's up to you.
And elite dangerous is simulator/realistic while star citizen is more fps/action oriented.
+OneOnOne1162 Me too! I've been pumped about NMS, but the more I see it the more it seems the game would get old fast. It seems to be pointless (albeit beautiful) wandering. The others. Are they more like shooters? This video left more questions than answers.
+Hootybyrd from what i have seen SC will be the most realistic, but you will need a good PC.
David chill guy Maybe, but my hope is that it will run a little like gta 5 when they have finished optimizing the game
No man's sky is a disappointment, Star Citizen is not out yet but I have some doubts on that game because in history games that promised too much and threaded too far ended with disappointment.
But "Elite Dangerous" is the real deal! It is a game that did not aim to be everything. A complicated pure open space simulation with a solid background going back to 1984, and does it's job best. It is not a game for casual console gamers. The game set its aims clearly and achieved all of them.
you cant compare ED and NMS, they are both completely different games. Its been said in lots of videos forums and such. NMS is an arcade no realism. Where is ED as the Devs said they try to use everything which is optainable through some years in the future, apart from the wormhole which was used so the game is user friendly. So why people try to Compare a arcade to a Simulator please research facts first before your compare these games.
They are both still space sandbox games.
I'm on three sides star citizen, elite dangerous and no man's sky. I like star citizen because there's more detail in ships and character plus star citizen has an amazing entering ship animation. Elite dangerous has a more role-playing type space adventure which is open to many types of actions allowing fun to be had and space piracy to be done. No man's sky however has a bit of both games as well as some extras, no man's sky has some nice looking ships a supposed character and upgrading as well as a bit of role play and it's planets and inhabitants are almost unknown and the ones we do know are exotic and beautiful. And that's why I love them all
remember when no man's sky was supposed to be good? remember when star sitizen was supposed to come out in 2016?....yea such distant memories...
Star citizen is still a tech demo in 2021, but NMS is already exceeded their promises with no extra charges.
I'm not going to compare elite to no man's sky. I play elite and love it and no man's sky looks awesome. I want compare them because they both have different goals. elite dangerous is all about owning your own spaceship and traversing the galaxy with unlimited possibilities to have fun. no man's sky is all about seeing different world's and looks more artistic in its styling.
I agree.
Time to redo this review, it's not remotely accurate.
ValentineSuicide1 absolutely and when I can finally get my editing software and a verified copy of bandicam I'll do a accurate review for elite explaining early game mid game and late game as well as extras to show you that this guy completely lied about Elite he straight-up bashed it
2:26 You said Star Citizen will have around 100 star systems to explore (total)....but that's only the beginning. It's true, they plan to launch with 100 star systems that you can explore, but they've also already said that it is constantly growing. That includes Star Citizen-made, community-based, and procedurally generated systems as well. They wanted the experience to be so immersive and perfect, that they chose to hand craft the first 100 systems before they launched the game. This has been confirmed by various interviews and articles from RSI.
2 Years later, Elite dangerous is still delivering and adding content, No mans sky is basically dead, and Star citizen is probably going to be good.. when it releases in 2020.
In 2021, ED is still adding and delivering content with Odyssey coming up which will be adding ground exploration, missions and be able to walk in towns, space stations and your own ships.
NMS is basically the best space game available right now and exceeded their promises.
Star Citizen is still a tech demo.
No Man's Sky is announced to be $60 like just about every other game and everyone freaks out. Meanwhile, Star Citizen is charging literally hundreds and even thousands of dollars for DLC and "microtransactions."
$15,000 for 60-ish ships that have no real meaningful difference between them.
Wrong, star citizen cost at minimum 45$, the ships have no real difference and the main point is to help and support development with an added bonus.
Tes Fallout Did I say anything about the minimum cost? The point is that for $60 you get No Man's Sky and every add-on and update for it, from a tiny team on a tiny budget, none of which was crowd supported because they wanted to use their own money.
Meanwhile, for $45 you get the minimum experience of Star Citizen, and you have to pay more, and more, and more for multiplayer, or any ships, or any other content, from a huge team from a on a huge budget that was massively crowd supported.
Do you not see why it is strange so many people are whining about the price of No Man's Sky but don't even bat an eye at Star Citizen's price?
Edit: Also don't forget about the flood that almost made Hello Games give up the game and the lawsuit they had to deal with, all while being a small indie studio under tremendous public pressure.
Apocolyptius 45$ IS the price of the game, all the ships is to help develop a better game, you will not get a minimum experience for buying the ship because the ships don't really matter, the skill of the other hand does. The ships sometimes are not even a plus, alot of them are big and bulky so they are slower to move and easier to hit. Please research about what your talking about before you say random stuff and look extremely misinformed
Tes Fallout The point is that extra content in Star Citizen is exorbitantly expensive when the team already has hundreds of millions of dollars available, while extra content in No Man's Sky is all free with the game when the team had a tiny fraction of the money and hit major bumps along the way.
Cloud Imperium can do whatever they want, I'm not judging that. I just think it's stupid when people whine about No Man's Sky's prices but are fine with Star Citizen's.
Wait until they're all out, then we can truly compare then. But as of now my money is on Star Citizen being the best...
+machew san Star Citizen looks great, but ultimately you will be faced in as it is NOT procedural IE someone has to hand draw everything. My moneys on No Mans Sky- don't be fooled by funky graphics
+AlfredJewe1l I'm with Elite right now, but NMS seems like it will be very fun. Star Citizen isn't really my forte.
Looking forward to buying the full release of Star Citizen for my grandkids in 2055.
+Rhys Bevan it should be out in Q2 of 2017.
+Django Lowe (Jirou) It was supposed to be November 2014. They just keep adding new stuff and further pushing back the date.
That was a date set for if they weren't going to do any of the stretch goals which includes the persistent universe. They made a promise that the dates aren't going to be as important as making a good game. That was the pledge they made us. We want it to be that way.
Also, it is 3 years is not a long time for an mmo
+Django Lowe (Jirou) I'm looking forward to it as much as anyone. I just don't think it will ever be completed.
Well this whole video is pointless then. Why is it still up?
Elite Dangerous by a long shot. And with ED Horizons this will destroy the other space sims
+Jebb Katarn Not really? Except Elite isnt fantasy like the other two. It already exists and works great. Planetary landings are already complete and releasing next month. All thats left is the fps aspect.
+Jebb Katarn and it has multi crew ( best feature ever btw)
+FeaR FuZiioN lol The game is already dying buddy. People only log in for a week after big patches and then thats it. Back down to 3000 players per day.
+obezana Elite Dangerous is boring at the moment. No mans sky is confirmed for release on July.
Also grey planets really turn my brain into soup.
+Jebb Katarn Ive been playing E:D for like 2 months and have not stumbled upon any bugs yet.
0:39 *Enters red side*
It's people like you who made lethal responses to bad flying a thing.
XD, that bothered me too
Low budget gamers my Corvette and beluga are so big I just go through the center. (though I usually check if anyone is going in/out)
You don't need to check friend. Large ships have right of way.
Low budget gamers not like the AIs ever give way, some sidewinders did find that out the hard way.
+blaster1 112
I tried the Beluga but just didn't like it even though I really liked the Orca....mind you the Orca was fast which meant you could do smuggling with it too. Getting into a station in one while doing 300mps was entertaining
I like the old school sci-fi art style of no man's sky & the less realistic take on planetary positioning which gives those cool huge planets in the skyline when your on a planet, like that moment in Pitch Black when they saw 3 suns & that huge gas giant coming in to eclipse them.
If non of these get a mod or DLC to add the Millennium Falcon many tables will be flipped..
+Sup3r Ninj4 Made my day XD :D
+Sup3r Ninj4 Made my day XD :D
+Sup3r Ninj4 if i'm correct the one in no man sky looks like one
James Doresy Looks like i know what im buying
+Sup3r Ninj4 Star Citizen will have full mod support and private servers, so go mod the entire Star Wars universe into the game if you want :P
Is Elite Dangerous even being considered as a threat anymore? is was such a huge failure that its DLC IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE CORE GAME. Which at one point was over 100 dollars.
More people playing it than battlefield Hardline now that was a failure.
+UberCharged101 nah, only ignorants fell off, good for them (and you ) :) Quite many games offer newest expansion for more then base game at the time.
Tomáš Skála I never insulted you I just said the game is shit. so why are you insulting me?
UberCharged101
it was not meant as an insult really just as a fact.
Your post uses over exaggerated tone and false claims based on false assumption. Since this same attitude was presented by many and they all just kept repeating it over and over no matter reason, reality or facts I called them ignorant as that is the very definition of that word.
Tomáš Skála I will state again that the DLC is more expensive than the game. and that everything in the DLC was originally planned for the core game in the first place.
Xbox one has elite on it. Quite an important omission.
rcheliguygb It didn't at the time of this video's posting.
+Christopher Blair no but when the video was made the devs did say it was coming to console
"18 quintillion planets in the game, Milky Way has about 400 billion stars, averaged 4-10 planets per star, came up with that number. If each Star only had 1 planet, then we'd have 45 million galaxies, obviously that won't be the case. In truth we might be looking at an average of more like 3-6 planets per Star system, in which case that would mean we have 7.5 million galaxies. CRAZY"
-Ebo87
Top comment got it wrong actually. The milky way is thought to have 200-400 billion stars. So if we go with the largest quantity and say each galaxy in NMS has 400 billions stars and we say each star has around 10 planets (a safe bet I think). Then that means NMS would have 4,611,686 galaxies. Definitely millions.
-Klovasos
Update maybe
my take on this
no mans sky: never heard of it
Star Citizen: looks cool, but i haven't seen much of it
Elite: Dangerous: i want it. hands down. i love Euro Truck Simulator 2 and having an entire galaxy to explore and do what i want, just screams "BUY ME!" to me.
(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand flame war has been declared, and im now turning off notifications to this(fucking fanboys have no opinion and follow the hype train to wherever it goes))
Get ED dude! If you love ETS2, you'll LOVE this. I loved ETS2 and that has NOTHING on this. You couldn't be attacked by other plays in ETS2 nor were there other people driving around on the same highway as you.
Star Citizen, the game that only have like 3 trailers that each have their own aspect. i saw the reveal trailer where the crowd went crazy.
Elite:Dangerous, the game that really do simulate space. theres nothing in space and theres nothing in Elite:Dangerous and that makes it great. man, when i get a better computer, i will buy Elite:Dangerous.
punch3870 As far as I know Star Citizen has way more trailers than only three of them...
***** i haven't seen them. i have only seen the reveal trailer (i guess) and it has hype.
and now adays games with hype turns out to be disapointing. great, but disapointing.
Just do your research. Star Citizen has way more content released than the others.
The year is 2016... and ED is still the only game out and playable.
"Oh, but the other have more features!"
No, they will/might have more features. When and if(!) they release. Well, NMS looks a lot better, apparently, than SC on that front.
+Jürgen Erhard
Honestly, in my opinion Star Citizen's alpha 2.0 is more impressive than anything in Elite right now. You can actually walk around your ship, with local grid physics, get out of your ship and have FPS fights, and the damage states for ships are a lot better in Star Citizen.
you will be able to do the same in ED. Frontier confirmed it. Out of Braben's mouth himself.
+Tyler Wallock Except you're going to have to wait another year for it and pay another $60 for it.
Worth it to me
Tyler Wallock Not for me. I'd rather pay $45 once and have every single feature at launch rather than wait 10 years and pay $60 for every new feature introduced...
Finally, a non-biased breakdown of all 3 games. Thanks a ton!
I think I like star citizen the best because it mixes an fps with a space exploration game unlike elite dangerous, and no man's sky only being space and obviously the walking in no man's sky but I want to fight and fly not fly and walk.
You can fight in no mans sky... There was an article about it, and you can see the gun and ammo indicator
***** from my knowledge no man's sky is space combat and planet exploration only/ no ground combat. P.s. I might be wrong.
There is space and ground combat in No Man's Sky
In a trailer for No Mans Sky awhile back it showed the dude playing pull up a laser gun and start shooting a robot on land. just watch stuff on all of them they're all awesome. Personally, I think Elite Dangerous is the worst one of the 3 because it is strictly space only, and you're 100% of the time glued to your seat
Austin Bitner www.giantbomb.com/no-mans-sky/3030-44656/
Scroll down to 3rd block of text under the gameplay headline
No Man's Sky is a Universe not a Galaxy. No Man's Sky is so BIG that it will be less than a 1% chance of finding someone! That's why I am SOOOO EXCITED for No Man's Sky!!!
Unfortunately it's all low resolution proc gen, meaning you wil start noticing patterns fairly quickly, still could be fun though.
You're excited about drifting through the cold, empty void of space completely alone, never sharing your adventures and stories, never having a trusted companion, isolated in its inconceivable vastness, forever, while knowing that there are hundreds of thousands other players doomed to the same fate?
so... it sucks. Sorry bro
Game is dogshit and they lied about multiplayer
"Significantly Smaller, 100 Explorable Systems" -GameSpot
Everything Wrong, there will be 100 Discovered Star Systems when the Game will be released.
The Galaxy in SC could be as big as the Galaxy of Elite Dangerous but you need to find the jumppoints to the Systems not like in ED you see already all System in the Universe.
the First 100 Star Systems will be Hand Made yes but the new discovered Systems will be Proceduraly Generated
(sry for that bad english but i wanted to explain it, hope you understand it)
+ThePuma1707 no it can't :) If it could it would be already there. Elite's "realism" strength stands with stars there actually exists in real life. With proper class, position, nightsky generation. As Frontier stated the database of "explored systems" where it needs to be persistent for others is the largest part of their database. And it's far from just "random" (it still mirrors our knowledge about matter composition across the Milky Way). If the engine is not built around features like this it won't handle it "just like that" by "simply adding more and more until there are 400bil of them".
+Tomáš Skála well Elite Dangerous is "finished" while Star Citizen is still alpha and they just released 2 months ago a little 200k x 200k x 200k test Universe and i said it could be as huge as Elite, not it will be.
PS: are you from Slovakia?
+ThePuma1707
Elite is not (finished) get some info before talking
Sha-ad its Released and they put DLCs on Sale, in my opinion its Finished
ThePuma1707
in that point of view ,your right.But do you think SC dont have DLC in the futur and you will have all at the release ....i think not
If Star Citizen also allowed you to walk on planets like No Man's Sky, I think it will be the best of the three. Making it bigger would also be a nice bonus but not required.
Just the fact that no man's sky is the only game out of the 3 that you can actually get off your ship and walk on the planets, makes it my favorite one
SC also confirmed you can walk plaent side. Not as in depth as no mans sky though. All 3 have a different focus. SC is focused and a simulation and a living verse. no mans is focused on exploration.
+Seta8967 yup :)
+The Joeker Hopefully it has procedurally generated caves. And huge ones at that, not just mere holes. It would bite a good chunk out of Minecraft.
+Stefan Constantin Dumitrache their are a lot more videos out on no man's sky from July back. in one video they said their are some planets with a while underground ecosystem. Some of which you actually have to did to discover the entrance to
+The Joeker Exactly! Who the hell wants to play a "space sim" and not walk of a damn planet?! It makes no sense! And not only that, I'm not a hippie or anything but god damn do we have to have a FPS concept to everything and shoot shit?! Can't we just explore?
i feel star citizen easily takes the cake. Then probably no mans sky in 2nd then elite dangerous. This is only my opinion but i still think no mans and elite are pretty cool
+plurbleman Only problem is start citizen as it is described in this video does not actually exist.
joshua harman well if ur going that route than elite dangerous wins cause its the only one of the three that "exists"
pretty much... i think no man's sky is the most unique of the 3. SC and Elite are just too similar but one of them actually exists.
+Ahmad Naser star citizen above ED for sure
Uros L How many times do people have to fucken say this. Star Citizen does not exist as a full game... so stop comparing it to games that have been released.
Best to worst (in my opinion):
#1 Elite Dangerous
#2 Star Citizen
#3 No Man's Sky
I agree.
NMS added vr
Despite the universe sizes, Star Citizen's scale as a game is still the actual biggest among all 3, by far. It's not just about going around on your ship. It's a full scale mmo where you can land your ship on a planet, get off of it, go through a security check point, and walk into a city with bars, shops and the like, and meet up with your friend. Everything from laying down on a bunk bed to getting seated to fly your ship is done realistically where you have to actually go through the motions like you would in real life. This adds to the immersion a ton.
You can walk around in your hangar, explore the halls of your ships. You can be anything from a racer, pirate, scavenger, bounty hunter to joining the military or exploring the edges of space. You can board other people's ships or join a crew on a massive multi-crewed ship. You can make theoretical jumps that have not been attempted before and get it permanently named after you in the game universe. And even though the others have a "bigger" universe, it's a randomized universe, not actual hand crafted star systems with populated named cities, stations and a purpose to the game's story.
I have Elite: Dangerous. It's a fun game, for a while. But it's not the type of game I can see myself invested in for a very long time. Star Citizen, I absolutely can. It's a new age World of Warcraft of sorts. It's what EvE Online should have been. It's the type of game you can be sitting on some bunk with a friend in some city, on some planet, in the game, looking up at the stars and having that feeling that you can, at any moment, fire up your boat and go there, or you can go to the bar and buy your friend another drink. This fact alone makes it so much more than just a space-sim. It makes it an actual world, where you can do actual things you would do in a world like that. Star Citizen is on another level.
for some reason elite doesnt stand out to me as much as the other 2
yea because its boring zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Well, it feels as if it is lacking content imo. At least the game is solid and well-made :|
YeshuaReigns I have had over 5 months of very fun gameplay out of ED playing a few hours every evening, and still hardly scratched the surface. People have said its a mile wide but in inch deep, these people are used to being spoon fed content, go here, do this go here next, woo level up! Its up to you to make your content, go ask AIC, AA, CODE or some of the people they harass, sorry I mean interact with ;-) SC does look very cool, but only 100 systems???, doesn't quite fit the first M of MMORPG.
We will see in 2025 when its finally released.....
Elite Dangerous will allow the player to eventually do all of what Star Citizen and No Mans Sky feature.
TheHypernaught Definitely not all of either games.
An involve single player/coop campaign is unique to SC. Species identification and naming is unique to NMS. Faction battles are unique to ED. Grouping at all are only in SC and ED. these games have a lot of overlap but the have some real differences
Django Lowe Actually, Star Citizen will have faction and player reputation that will be on both a personal and organization level. You can have good and bad reputations with people AND organizations separately whether they be NPC or Player ran. Not to mention that there are multiple sentient races in the Star citizen universe that you'll come across during your travels who each will have different views on you as a human initially. Another part of the game that has been highlight a few times during live streams and game updates from CIG themselves is the ability, as a self proclaimed scientist, to selectively name and report documentations on new planets, the flora and fauna that come with them, and also the types of systems you explore while getting there, as long as you get there first that is :P
***** My point is that in Django Lowe 's comment, he said those points were unique to each game, where here I am pointing out that Star Citizen will have all the points discussed to an extent at release or closely after. This is in saying to clear up misconceptions about Star Citizen. I'm not here to start a flame war, I just don't like it when people are given incomplete information.
Django Lowe Those are minor differences, nuances if you like. the core game play elements are going to be very similar. Elite right now has the better combat. Requires more skill to get kills than the arcade fest that is Arena Commander, with its paper ships. This genre is going to explode, exciting times. Now if they could scale the palnetary warfare to the same standard as Arma (minus bugs) wow!
I don't think it's fucking possible for Elite or NMS to be better than Star Citizen
+Owen Clifford (thetruebanana) Better in what? Elite already has more content than Star Citizen will have in the next 10 years :D And elite is pretty much only 20% done....
+Pupixario i am just staring at your comment and realizing you got the 2 mixed up. Star citizen is the one that is not finished but has more stuff ( like all the fps capabilities multiple people per ship and hand made planets ) in elite you can can leave and you can't land and explore other planets
Owen Clifford
No, I don't have them mixed up. The activities you can do in Elite are far more than the counter-strike you can do once per week in Star Citizen. Elite is not finished. It has only the space part finished. No landings yet, no crews on ships, no walking in stations and more. And still it has faaaaaar more gameplay and content than Star Citizen currently has. In the future it may have "hand crafted planets" and stuff, but no in the near future.
+Pupixario You should mention planetary landings are coming to Elite very soon.
Thought Star Citizen looks amazing, the pricing system is making me look the other way
+Blaizen88 the pricing system is amazing because you can get the actual game for about $20. Although that won't give you the best ship in the game at start (which is a matter of opinion) everything inside the game can be bought with ingame money. With is earned by salvaging, bounty hunting, looting, and much more. I personally have access the the arena commander mode for SC and have played Elite and even though SC is not even fished the small part of it we can play is better than Elite
0:13
NMS: *laughs in 255 galaxy's*
no man's sky best
lol
+damlurker why lol
AviationGTA
its was a good joke. especially since ive been watching how insanely shit noman's sky is and how the lead developer is a pathetic piece of shit liar.
I love NMS. ED doesn't look all that much better than NMS. But I haven't played ED Star Citizen looks very nice. People be trippin that hate on NMS. Games a sweet little piece of space. If you cant dig NMS with a Jay, recliner, headphones, dark room, that's crazy. ahaha. Just my opinion
I changed no man's sky is really bad
the difference? the remaining 2 games will suck ass compared to star citizen.
Right on brother
+Light 1988 if ever star citizen ever comes out completely.. I bought all 3 and so far I think elite has more content than .. star citizen... and no mans sky which isn't out.. But no mans sky is 55 days away :-) ... I hope squadron 42 comes out by December this year ...
I like elite dangerous
Except ED isn't vapourware.
ED is space courier fetch quest crap,SC is yet to be released,ED was as disappointing as downloading EVE and expecting to fly the ship yourself
"3 Games, 3 galaxies" At that point... i disliked the video. That statement disgraced No Man's Sky
3 games, 2 galaxys and one universe. I hate it when people mix up universe and galaxy. Like its simple. Galaxies are smaller, a universe is like all the galaxies mixed together. My god.
Shut the fuck up
Chasen Occhiogrosso Why?
Ayyyy nobody gives a shit about that
Rickon Stark Is that what people say about you?
Well, as frontier developements stated, there will be fps mode too in Elite:dangerous, walking on stations, on planets, space walks, multi crew, huge ships, cities, forests...etc. They already have the technology for that, but they want to release it step by step in every expansion. Here is the info in the Wiki: elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Elite:_Dangerous_FAQ#What_is_.22Elite:_Dangerous.22.3F
PD: The 1st expansion will be released soon, wich includes character customization, multi crew, landing on planets and a new engineer mode to create your own ship parts.
