6 years later and I just started. Just got myself a Cobra, added some extra stuff to it, bought some string lights with some extra Arx I had. Now I'm just building a little money up before I finally leave the starting beginner area. All I've done so far is deliveries, courier jobs, and some occasional buying and selling. I haven't started with combat or mining yet. Haven't explored a planet on land either. Hell, I've only landed on two planetside hubs so far. Still learning manual landing. And I gotta say, I'm enjoying it. Now, I'm not playing for hours upon hours at a time. I play, do a few delivered and stuff, then take a break. But I think that's the beauty of Elite. You can play for as little or as long as you want. It's still fun, despite the fact that you might just being doing basic delivery jobs.
@@emeraldcelestial1058 yea ik,i prepurchased and had a blast. Only issues are performance and random bugs but for now i will just lower my settings and play like that
"I know it doesn't matter to a lot of players, but it matters a lot to ME" Oh dear, if only more developers would take this approach instead of the "feed the COD fans with what they want, and give up on what WE want to make"...how different the gaming world would be. How many ruined games would be so much better...
it matters a lot to me , that is why elite has always been one of my fave games of all time. (im an old C64 and amiga player of the originals) I can't wait till we can finally visit Sol because i just want to see it, fly around in an accurate representation of our home system and boggle my mind with how it fits into the vast galaxy, there doesn't have to be a fight every time you enter a system for a space game to be good and David Braben gets that amateur astronomer mentality. I think Elite will appeal more to the proper space geeks out there (like me) and not just the sci-fi action crowd. the exploration is the thing for me, I enjoy trading and traveling way more than I enjoy combat.
chemicalBR0 I feel mostly like you. I love the idea of an accurate galaxy. And I just have to bow down to David Braben. With that statement he pretty much says "whoever doesn't like what we're doing can pretty much piss off, for we are making the game WE want, not the one that the legion of CoD minded gimme-inmediate-reward-or-i-will-cry noobs demand". That statement alone is already worth the price of the game. Instantaneously. I'm tired of seeing developers start a game with something in mind and end up delivering yet another dumbed down half arsed game that has nothing to do with what they initially proposed, only because they wanted to make it attractive to the masses of "casuals" who are too lazy to properly learn how to play a game before getting success with it. And that only because they think that that's the way to make money. As there are so many spoiled 14 year old brats mashing buttons in the internetz, you have to make the game suit them. Which means practically turning it into braindead fodder. Maybe someday else will realize that the masses of people who're tired as heck of games for the lazy-arsed and braindead also want games to play. And pay well for them. I think David Braben already knows, tho... and that's why I'm so happy :). BTW I think you can already visit SOL in Beta 3. Haven't done so yet myself (I'm too busy doing stuff elsewhere that I never find the time to do it), but when I checked it was inside the whilte bubble that it's supposed to represent the playable area of the galaxy... Damnit. Now I have to do it too. Even while I still have to earn enough money to get out of my lowly sidewinder :D
yeah sol is inside the bubble but sadly is still not visitable (that's not even a real word is it :) . your FSD malfunctions if you try to jump to the system.there are quite a lot of unfinished systems inside that bubble that you can't get to. oh and if you wanna make cash fast head to Alrai (buy gold) sell at lp30-55) (buy superconductors for return visit) i've been using a cobra mkiii for that run (28 ton cargo) and make around 60 grand per trip. (i've made over a million creds the last few days just doing that) although you need over 250 grand just to buy that much gold in the 1st place :) oh and carrying that much valuable cargo brings you a fair bit off attention so be prepared for a lot of interdiction attempts by pirates.
Everything about the Elite Dangerous devs screams of honesty and genuine passion for this amazing game they are crafting. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Keep up the great work on what is sure to be a very successful game. It's already a success even ahead of final release. Wishing you the very best. Cheers
Got fed up of Worold of Warcraft and needed a change. I played Elite on the Beeb as a kid back in 84. I was 10 then... now I'm 40 and I feel even more excited about the prospects of where this could go. Great job guys.... absolutely fantastic team work.
How can you connect old days gamers, who were used to have perhaps the most entertaining and dreaming moments in their lives with games and machines of eighties and first nineties WITH the amazing graphics and performances of computers we have today WITHOUT loosing those exact feelings they still remember now? Elite Dangerous is the answer. For me, I have been waiting this new chapter since 30 years, the only game I haven't forgot from those ages.
I'm but a simple gamer in my 30's, but David & Co, Elite was one of the first things I remember. -In my life-. I remember my dad teaching me to dock on those bloody awful joysticks you got for the speccy ZX, and then again with the amiga. And onwards, well I've moved over the world & still have my original full box copy of FE2 + everything in my suitcase. I'd pin the starchart up now, but I don't want to put holes in it! E:D is phenomenal. I cannot begin to describe how thankful I am for... everything. From you & all of your team, everyone that's ever worked on this. If I still lived in the UK, I'd be at the premiere just throwing notes + free drinks at you guys. Thank-you for giving my childhood to the future.
I am so happy you guys are making this game. I'm an old school elite player from the old BBC days and this game is, while still in progress, is giving me all the things I was fantasising about back when I was playing the original. I absolutlely LOVE the ship designs, the updates to the older ships are amazing, and the new ships, also amazing. And the ship interiors are just beautiful. The systems, the suns, amazing! Thank you very much to all of you in Frontier Developments for the fantastic work you are doing. Ok, that's my embarrassing fanboy gush over. Hmmm, I've never used the word "amazing" so much before...
I'm with you man. I used to play Frontier flat out as a teenager. Awesome game and this looks like a worthy successor. Haven't been so excited about a game in ages!
I too myself was introduced to this game on the BBC Micro, I played it at youth clubs, at ITEC when I could. I then played it on Commodore 64, then on the Commodore Amiga for years and years and ranked to 'Elite' status. I so wish I got this game when it was first launched on the Xbox One (which is my platform now), I was undecided but was in a game shop the other day and seen a used copy which someone traded in. I said to myself, 'Sod it' just by it and go for it and so glad I did. I got the Horizons Season Pass from the MS Store for only £8 as they were doing an offer. There is so much to catch up on but love the game and graphics and everything else they've done, it's biblically good and can't put it down again lol, every spare minute or hour I've got it on haha. Happy Gaming guys, may see you out there in the trade lanes or star ports
I came into this series technically when the Betas were going on.. I had watched sooo soo much on the game.. It enthralled me completely.. I obviously couldn't play it at the time.. But Just seeing how it modeled a whole 1:1 size milkyway.. maybe even larger! It was soo cool.. It made me wanna explore places I would see outside.. I would go outside and look up at the night sky and I would literally point and be like "I wonder what that place is like".. I obviously found it impossible to find out that one dot in the sky lol.. But once I got my hands on the game in 2017 for PS.. It was the game I played even more than Minecraft.. Elite.. It makes you feel like an explorer.. Uncovering secrets of the galaxy like the Guardians and the Thargoids.. Or even Deeper mysteries like the lagrange clouds.. It is a fantastic game!.. And I know many people hate what has been added recently.. But I feel like this is a mistake that can be fixed.. Things can change overtime and I bet it will get better! Even if it takes a few years. I love this game undoubtedly.. I cant wait to explore more.. However there is one big change I hope they explore.. You know those 2 Magellanic Cloud galaxies? Imagine that being opened up to players to explore?! That is my honest hope for like.. a Final DLC. Just even more to explore lol. I know that is weird to say since there is still literally a whole galaxy that is still barely explored.. But thats my want. Anyway.. Time to get back into my Anaconda and explore the deepest parts of the galaxy! Have fun out there Commanders!
@@chickenchaser7022 Haha, Fable is the most referenceable game. Are you getting the new Fable by Playground Games when that releases, or are you just gunna stand there like a lemon?
Returning from my first trip to Sag A, truly inspirational game. From the Thargoid War, to the many genuine mysteries throughout the game, I have made many friends and had an incredible experience, here's to many more trips into the void. Thank you CMDRS o7
I love this game, or shall I call it a simulator. It isn't perfect, but it's very good and super addicting. That's hard to explain because the game doesn't seem to have a lot going on in it, yet it has so much going on in it. There isn't constant action or things to do, but it is super immersive. I love how the game doesn't spell everything out for you, and it allows you to make your own mistakes and doesn't make excuses or say "sorry" when you put yourself in a bad situation. Space is unforgiving and I like that Frontier has added this feel.
I am a space jockey from wayyyy back to the early days of nintendo. I love this frickin game! I feel like you made it just for me, thank you so much, I will be enjoying this for a long long time. It's awesome to see the love that each of you have for it, there's no denying that at all. Keep up the great work, looking forward to Horizons!
The milky way band in the background of the footage they used looks a lot more realistic than it does in the final release...wonder why @10:50 the texture on that planet looks sick!
I'm gonna wait for this to release before I buy it ('cause I'm cheap), so I wanna know, is the game chat proximity based, radio frequency based, or what? Oh, and any word yet on the full game's release date?
Dear FDev, never change the way you are or the way you have developed this wonderful game. There is nothing like elite dangerous odyssey anywhere in the gaming world,(and yes I do play all the other games in the genre), this is the top of the mountain game and I look forward to many more years of this masterpiece… do not listen to any of the dropouts who criticize the game as that was more about them, than it is about your wonderful galaxy!
With awesome exploration/supercruise music this is way better now, nice memento for closing in to release of the game. It has been amazing time. And somehow, it is just begining.
I wonder if Mr. Braben ever played (or got the chance) to play the paper n pen RPG, Traveller? There are several parallels between it and Elite and they both have the hard science background that we both seem to be veteran fans of.
There should be an option, to enable/disable sound and video simulation, maybe on the functions tab. That is, if you turn off sound simulation, you'll only hear sounds that come from inside your ship, not from the exterior, and video simulation would be more useful in supercruise; if you go ftl, your field of view becomes 360º so if you turned off video simulation, you'd see ftl as it really is... I think it'd look cool
Impressive ideas. If all these things come together (planetside locations, space stations, ship boarding and zero-G combat) Star Citizen is up for some serious competition. I still don't regret buying both though as they feel like very different universes although they both take place in space. On the other hand I am really syked that i picked up the Elite: Dangerous - Lifetime Expansion Pass though. Good luck Frontier can't wait to see the final product ;)
Playing this on my Xbox One in 4K res on a 65' screen and surround sound is sooooooo good, feels like you're actually in the dame ship lol. Love the welcoming greetings at the Stations too, nice touch there whoever done that.
We all have to raise David over the highest Skyscraper for what he did: He made us able to play his Dream! Thank you so much, David and your Team! This comes from a ex Elite C-64 Version Player of course :)
I really think there should be a third-person view while you fly, but it should be limited. When in third-person you should be centered on your ship and should have a very basic HUD, showing only the velocity of your craft. For other things you should have to use first person to dock or trade among other things.
My favourite moment so far happened yesterday. I jumped into a 'recently' formed star system and it just blew my mind how awesome it looked. Keep it up, you've made the best game in a long time and it's not even finished yet!
0Tweaky0 I have a feeling that with "recently" he means something like "only a million years ago" or so. For the universe, this is like the blink of an eye. :) That said, our galaxy is vast, and there's always something beautiful happening somewhere. Just gotta be at the right point at the right time... www.ism.ucalgary.ca/Star_Formation/How_Often.html
Sinvey Indeed, it was 'only' 6 million years old :) I don't think we will witness the birth of a star in ED. Perhaps the death of one, but as a scripted event more likely.
For 6 yrs and with over 15 weeks of gameplay time and still playing, and that's just with my original character, no other game has what this game offers. The visuals, the sounds, the performance on xbox is great, the freedom, the discoveries, the risks, the potential,,,, no other game compares. GTAV was great, but Elite has me hooked.
Its a shame some of the things they mention like "grouping" and the "trade routes in the map" are patently false. Those things are not working in game yet, and the versions they show are the broken versions.
@* AnimalHeadSpirit * the wings on the ships are just cosmetic like painjobs but you can pilot with another cmdr and that is also called a wing so idk what the original comment meant
You guys are doing amazing work. Your dev blogs have been super consistent with the content created. Keep this up and we'll end up with an amazing game. I'd be down with spending more money, so try to see if we can get some new cosmetics in the store ;)
2:02 John "Biceps" Kelly. A man who can't keep his arms out of shot, always bent at about 30 degrees to give the viewers a look at his "guns". Weights guys - they can't resist that.
ArchAngel Azrael now they are. there's kind of a story in the Game. now story missions but you can find some stations or audio logs which contain a mini story.
The game is surrounded by a bit of controversy these days, but I just can't stop playing it. It really, really is one of my favorite games, and this video makes it clear that they love the game as well. Thanks for the great time Frontier, and I'll see you in deep space!
Can you tell me where the hell my ship is? I purchased a python four months ago and haven’t played, I login today I’m back in the sidewinder with no credits,
It's fair to say, I've spent some time in Elite. I won't say how much... But, if it was to be expressed as, price per hour. It's £0.01481, or 0.019 $. Assuming my cost of purchase of £39.99. (buy it on sale... it's almost free!) So technically the cheapest game I've ever bought! Or, somebody around here needs to get out more. 🤔
Might be just me but I'm throwing it out there anyway. The white specs when your flying are really irritating, I wouldn't mind if you could reduce them or turn them off but i don't feel they serve a purpose & what are they anyway?
Yes, I also think that the starfield may be toned down a little bit, or at least they could give us a choice to pick the density. That being said, according to the (technical) lore, these white dots are actually being drawn on the canopy in order to help pilots to orientate and to "feel" the speed and direction. Which they actually do quite well.
The white 'dust' actually help me feel like I'm moving. Whereas without them it'd be very hard to get the sense of movement. Setting density isn't a bad idea though.
i just took a new player out in my ship[ and gave him a tour of a ring planet and a neutron star , then i sent him out in a fighter to help me bounty hunt . lol he is hooked . we are in VR as well thanks for the support . this is easily the best VR title i have
Keep up the good work guys and girls, with every beta the game keeps getting better and better. I've been playing ED with trackir 5 for the first time today....... Awesome experience :)
I don't feel like it's hyperbole to say that Elite: Dangerous has the best sound design I've encountered in a game. Well done audio people. Well done everyone.
I would be more than willing to pay a monthly subscription fee to allow further development of the game. I would prefer not to have a free-to-play/pay-to-play model, as that OTHER game does. You're doing great things and I love the game. Where do I apply to get a job as a content writer for GalNet?
1:38 Michael Brookes. Sounds like he's not a fan of Iain M Banks. At least not "The Culture" novels Argghh! Not sure I can handle that. I would play a "Culture" game. In fact I just want to live in the Culture now... make it happen.. today... someone.
funnily enough the original game (assuming that's not what you're talking about) got some bad reviews too, I don't think there's a single video game out there that doesn't have a minority of people who hate the game, though at least with Elite Dangerous it is a minority, not like No Man's Sky where there's a large majority
The sound effects are amazing. But still the flight is not real. Acceleration met be infinite, there is no atmosphere or drag in space, so, a "boos" would be a faster acceleration, but no speed limit. A truster, preferably on flight assist off, met be infinite. If i keep pushing pitch, it would rotate my ship faster and faster until i pass out because de G!!! Look on series Battlestar Galactica flights and fights... To reach a certain speed, only need a burst in trusters. Make it real! Please!!! This is the most closer game to reality we have so far, and is the prettiest on interface, sound fx, ships, design, etc. Don't nerf the most important things of it, just because the grand majority don't know how to flight in space (teach them). Fix this things... p.s.: And the best way to control a ship in space is not a thruster and a stick, but a Spacemouse pro (6 axis on left hand, could be only 3 axis, for translation) and a stick on right. There is not a better way to move in space, but the real movement, using bursts of thrust, and not a full speed stick towards (this is not a atmospheric plane)!!!
No man, you are playing a dogfight in a plane (that is no like what is in space). In real word a stick will not do what you need, and the flight will not be like that. But you can discuss what you wan't. I know what i'm saying. I will do no more replies to discuss that with you. And this is not a person thing, but a physics and vacuum thing. There is no flight like elite in space, and will not be,just because that is an arcade toy, a pretty one, but fake physics. No inertia, no incremental speed add infinitum. So long, bye!
I know there is no drag in space they made some compromises for playability the physics of the space flight are wrong in many many ways; yes! there is indeed damping on the maximum speed when you are not in FSD or hypercruise this makes the game playable otherwise slowing down would take as long as speeding up did. in real physics flying faster than light is impossible... yet without that ability the game would be impossible.. including faster than light travel makes the game playable. using flight-assist to travel the direction you are moving is also not really a thing (though i think its possible), but you CAN turn this off in game and roll around as much as you want.... including a flight-assist mode makes the game playable. ...., but its also true that a flight control setup is the ideal and most immersive way of playing a space flight game a 3 axis stick with HAT controls, a decent throttle with extra control inputs and pedals for yaw is just intuitive..... the characters hands in the ship are on a stick and throttle ffs!!! you're complaining about the physics of a sci-fi game where travelling at hundreds or even thousands of times the speed of light is an every day occurrence and you're complaining because they added DRAG?! wtf man..
the audio , the ships , the graphics, the low requirements, the asteroid belts, the quasars, the customizability of the controls, the FSD , the hypercruise, the trading, the music, the combat, the ship customization, the grinding.
Quasars?
@@frankshailes3205 well.... micro-quasars at least.
Low requirements is no longer valid tho. My 1070 is choking a bit in odyssey ground combat

Are you getting the new Fable by Playground Games when that releases, or are you just gunna stand there like a lemon?
Returning from my first trip to Sag A, truly inspirational game. From the Thargoid War, to the many genuine mysteries throughout the game, I have made many friends and had an incredible experience, here's to many more trips into the void. Thank you CMDRS o7
wow, the graphics seem better 3 years ago than they are today. Enjoyed the vid and love playing the game.
I love this game, or shall I call it a simulator. It isn't perfect, but it's very good and super addicting. That's hard to explain because the game doesn't seem to have a lot going on in it, yet it has so much going on in it. There isn't constant action or things to do, but it is super immersive. I love how the game doesn't spell everything out for you, and it allows you to make your own mistakes and doesn't make excuses or say "sorry" when you put yourself in a bad situation. Space is unforgiving and I like that Frontier has added this feel.
more of these types of video would be brilliant
7:14 Finally i know who the real og of the Fdev is, thank you man for that amazing sounds you created for this game.
I am a space jockey from wayyyy back to the early days of nintendo. I love this frickin game! I feel like you made it just for me, thank you so much, I will be enjoying this for a long long time. It's awesome to see the love that each of you have for it, there's no denying that at all. Keep up the great work, looking forward to Horizons!
Good video, its nice to see the enthusiasm of your dev crew. Keep up the good work Frontier. Me and my DK2 are ready for release.... bring it on!
The milky way band in the background of the footage they used looks a lot more realistic than it does in the final release...wonder why
@10:50 the texture on that planet looks sick!
know its an old post , but the milky way band looks different depending on where u are :)
Excellent , Keep the video coming please.
I've never play any other game as much as I've played Elise Dangerous.
LEGENDS! ALL OF YOU LEGENDS!
I'm gonna wait for this to release before I buy it ('cause I'm cheap), so I wanna know, is the game chat proximity based, radio frequency based, or what?
Oh, and any word yet on the full game's release date?
Dear FDev, never change the way you are or the way you have developed this wonderful game. There is nothing like elite dangerous odyssey anywhere in the gaming world,(and yes I do play all the other games in the genre), this is the top of the mountain game and I look forward to many more years of this masterpiece… do not listen to any of the dropouts who criticize the game as that was more about them, than it is about your wonderful galaxy!
With awesome exploration/supercruise music this is way better now, nice memento for closing in to release of the game. It has been amazing time. And somehow, it is just begining.
Are we going to se dangerous star systems? like collapsing stars or black hole and other fantastic things?
I wonder if Mr. Braben ever played (or got the chance) to play the paper n pen RPG, Traveller? There are several parallels between it and Elite and they both have the hard science background that we both seem to be veteran fans of.
Such a good watch. Great job so far guys. Keep going!!!!!!!
i love all the tshirts in this video
There should be an option, to enable/disable sound and video simulation, maybe on the functions tab.
That is, if you turn off sound simulation, you'll only hear sounds that come from inside your ship, not from the exterior, and video simulation would be more useful in supercruise; if you go ftl, your field of view becomes 360º so if you turned off video simulation, you'd see ftl as it really is... I think it'd look cool
Really enjoying the Beta so far :)
will de soundtrack be shipped along w/ de game????
PLS
It felt like he was gonna cry at the end))
A big THANK YOU to you guys, for creating a spectacular game most of us have been wanting for years!
I cannot believe I never heard of this game until now. This is so amazing.
What would these guy make of Chapter 4 and the mining enhancements?
External view at 1m54s and 2m28s?
Hello from 2021. Like person from future I should say: Go buy it! This is amazing, gigantic pice of work that mindblows You
Impressive ideas. If all these things come together (planetside locations, space stations, ship boarding and zero-G combat) Star Citizen is up for some serious competition. I still don't regret buying both though as they feel like very different universes although they both take place in space. On the other hand I am really syked that i picked up the Elite: Dangerous - Lifetime Expansion Pass though. Good luck Frontier can't wait to see the final product ;)
Playing this on my Xbox One in 4K res on a 65' screen and surround sound is sooooooo good, feels like you're actually in the dame ship lol. Love the welcoming greetings at the Stations too, nice touch there whoever done that.
We all have to raise David over the highest Skyscraper for what he did: He made us able to play his Dream! Thank you so much, David and your Team! This comes from a ex Elite C-64 Version Player of course :)
So easy to lose myself while exploring new systems. Awesome game.
I really think there should be a third-person view while you fly, but it should be limited. When in third-person you should be centered on your ship and should have a very basic HUD, showing only the velocity of your craft. For other things you should have to use first person to dock or trade among other things.
My favourite moment so far happened yesterday. I jumped into a 'recently' formed star system and it just blew my mind how awesome it looked. Keep it up, you've made the best game in a long time and it's not even finished yet!
Do star system systems form in the game alot do you know? or another way of putting it is the universe getting bigger as you play?
0Tweaky0 I have a feeling that with "recently" he means something like "only a million years ago" or so. For the universe, this is like the blink of an eye. :)
That said, our galaxy is vast, and there's always something beautiful happening somewhere. Just gotta be at the right point at the right time... www.ism.ucalgary.ca/Star_Formation/How_Often.html
Sinvey Indeed, it was 'only' 6 million years old :) I don't think we will witness the birth of a star in ED. Perhaps the death of one, but as a scripted event more likely.
That sounds awesome! Any screenshots?
Mark Oliver I'll travel back there as soon as I finished business. It's Pemede if you want to see it for yourself.
So is the game is still set for a release in Q4 this year, or are they going to delay it to 2015?
15th December
be grate to bring out on consoles
For 6 yrs and with over 15 weeks of gameplay time and still playing, and that's just with my original character, no other game has what this game offers. The visuals, the sounds, the performance on xbox is great, the freedom, the discoveries, the risks, the potential,,,, no other game compares. GTAV was great, but Elite has me hooked.
Great insights, thank you for sharing - keep them coming! :)
I want to be able to build factories,etc on the planets, otherwise i don't see much sense in entering planets.
Its a shame some of the things they mention like "grouping" and the "trade routes in the map" are patently false. Those things are not working in game yet, and the versions they show are the broken versions.
These features exist, tried them myself. The creation of 'wings' will come out in the update in a month or two.
@* AnimalHeadSpirit * the wings on the ships are just cosmetic like painjobs but you can pilot with another cmdr and that is also called a wing so idk what the original comment meant
There's some work left to be done gentlemen.
We know - it is beta you know.
InkOnTube Your reply is vapid and insignificant
4tech69 as was your original comment.
John Hampson Your reply is vapid and insignificant.
InkOnTube Thought beta 3 is their last beta though. Everything thing else comes after launch.
You guys are doing amazing work. Your dev blogs have been super consistent with the content created. Keep this up and we'll end up with an amazing game. I'd be down with spending more money, so try to see if we can get some new cosmetics in the store ;)
best development team out there! keep up the good work!!
Hahaha rewatching in 2020 Hahahaha you still think so ?
no
@@Mitesse agreed... this was a long ass time ago.... in a galaxy far faaaar away hahaahahahahahaha ;)

Excuse me my bad english. Are any thargoids in the game ? Are any campaign in the game ?
ArchAngel Azrael
now they are. there's kind of a story in the Game.
now story missions but you can find some stations or audio logs which contain a mini story.
I miss the community around this game. Is there some secret part of the forums where they're hiding out that I don't know about, or something?
Yes I must have this game, Keep building it,
my favorite game last 2 years
And it has moved from Dangerous to Horizons to finally several upgrades of Odyssey How much bigger can it get
Keep on with realism supernovas, comets, quarks to be experienced is a Milky Way on our finger tips
Whatever happened to Ian Bell?
i would like sound track of Trent Reznor, Nine inch Nails!
Think I'm going to buy this, this weekend along with a flight-stick. Game looks stunning!!
You won't be disappointed :)

Stewie?
"Every single dot you see is a star you can visit" -- fuuuuuuuuck! :)
Re-upload?
they have to do something to stop the StarCitizen massive wave of video uploads from PAX :P

lololol nice Answer!
This game is going to be awesome.
The game is surrounded by a bit of controversy these days, but I just can't stop playing it.
It really, really is one of my favorite games, and this video makes it clear that they love the game as well.
Thanks for the great time Frontier, and I'll see you in deep space!
Can you tell me where the hell my ship is? I purchased a python four months ago and haven’t played, I login today I’m back in the sidewinder with no credits,
Dave's voice sounds different or is it just me?
It's fair to say, I've spent some time in Elite. I won't say how much... But, if it was to be expressed as, price per hour. It's £0.01481, or 0.019 $. Assuming my cost of purchase of £39.99. (buy it on sale... it's almost free!)
So technically the cheapest game I've ever bought! Or, somebody around here needs to get out more. 🤔
David Braben has basically looked and sounded exactly the same for 30 years. Suspicious...
Love you guys =)
Love the drop out of warp effect, totally epic. And everything else of course. I did the sponge bob look when he gets excited. All in the eyes.
I know its bad to say but if you could actually walk around inside your ship and bases and do things I would like this game so much more.
lol horizons :D
@@dixie_rekd9601 lol odyssey
Somebody ought to listen to this again especially at 1:10 with the shenanigans of instant ship transfer
Pre-ordered it :)
Glorious
I hear a Dutchy!
Might be just me but I'm throwing it out there anyway. The white specs when your flying are really irritating, I wouldn't mind if you could reduce them or turn them off but i don't feel they serve a purpose & what are they anyway?
Yes, I also think that the starfield may be toned down a little bit, or at least they could give us a choice to pick the density. That being said, according to the (technical) lore, these white dots are actually being drawn on the canopy in order to help pilots to orientate and to "feel" the speed and direction. Which they actually do quite well.
I'd be happy as you suggest if the player could set the density, If there was fewer i would not really notice but it's like it's snowing out there :)
The white 'dust' actually help me feel like I'm moving. Whereas without them it'd be very hard to get the sense of movement. Setting density isn't a bad idea though.
It's also needed to get a sense of scale. Without fog/particles everything would appear small.
It's a pleasure, David
i just took a new player out in my ship[ and gave him a tour of a ring planet and a neutron star , then i sent him out in a fighter to help me bounty hunt . lol he is hooked . we are in VR as well thanks for the support . this is easily the best VR title i have
Sounds good, do it for Linux
Fix you alt key handling.
Ya you care about backers like shit. Fix your alt key handling.
6:00 to 6:10, wow that´s beautiful. The game looks really great, congrats. I´ll preorder
I wish frontier would still do some videos like this ^^. This video still gets me hyped for whats next for elite, like project watson :)
Elite Dangerous is a masterpiece and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
Keep up the good work guys and girls, with every beta the game keeps getting better and better.
I've been playing ED with trackir 5 for the first time today....... Awesome experience :)
Do they get paid for every single time they say Amazing, if so they have earned a lot of money...amazing.
I don't feel like it's hyperbole to say that Elite: Dangerous has the best sound design I've encountered in a game. Well done audio people. Well done everyone.
I would be more than willing to pay a monthly subscription fee to allow further development of the game. I would prefer not to have a free-to-play/pay-to-play model, as that OTHER game does. You're doing great things and I love the game. Where do I apply to get a job as a content writer for GalNet?
Innovative.
1:38 Michael Brookes. Sounds like he's not a fan of Iain M Banks. At least not "The Culture" novels Argghh! Not sure I can handle that. I would play a "Culture" game. In fact I just want to live in the Culture now... make it happen.. today... someone.
This Game is sooo awesome, it only lacks a bit cause ist more a simulater than a game... i love it ;-)
Too much orange
It's a shame to see so many people posting bad reviews on Elite. "Oh, it's got too much grinding". Well that's what the game is about, am I wrong?
funnily enough the original game (assuming that's not what you're talking about) got some bad reviews too, I don't think there's a single video game out there that doesn't have a minority of people who hate the game, though at least with Elite Dangerous it is a minority, not like No Man's Sky where there's a large majority
Cute dutch guy.
7 years later the devs ran away. regards, a console player
The sound effects are amazing. But still the flight is not real. Acceleration met be infinite, there is no atmosphere or drag in space, so, a "boos" would be a faster acceleration, but no speed limit. A truster, preferably on flight assist off, met be infinite. If i keep pushing pitch, it would rotate my ship faster and faster until i pass out because de G!!! Look on series Battlestar Galactica flights and fights... To reach a certain speed, only need a burst in trusters. Make it real! Please!!! This is the most closer game to reality we have so far, and is the prettiest on interface, sound fx, ships, design, etc. Don't nerf the most important things of it, just because the grand majority don't know how to flight in space (teach them). Fix this things...
p.s.: And the best way to control a ship in space is not a thruster and a stick, but a Spacemouse pro (6 axis on left hand, could be only 3 axis, for translation) and a stick on right. There is not a better way to move in space, but the real movement, using bursts of thrust, and not a full speed stick towards (this is not a atmospheric plane)!!!
HOLD ON youre complaining about realism yet youre using a mouse to fly a ship and "there is not a better way to move in space"
Joystick Saitek, plus 6axis Spacemouse. Besides de "mouse" on name there is no mouse here. And the best way to move in space is with 6 axis.
I know what a 3d mouse is :D
but still . its not immersive like a true flight controller setup.
No man, you are playing a dogfight in a plane (that is no like what is in space). In real word a stick will not do what you need, and the flight will not be like that. But you can discuss what you wan't. I know what i'm saying. I will do no more replies to discuss that with you. And this is not a person thing, but a physics and vacuum thing. There is no flight like elite in space, and will not be,just because that is an arcade toy, a pretty one, but fake physics. No inertia, no incremental speed add infinitum. So long, bye!
I know there is no drag in space they made some compromises for playability the physics of the space flight are wrong in many many ways;
yes! there is indeed damping on the maximum speed when you are not in FSD or hypercruise this makes the game playable otherwise slowing down would take as long as speeding up did.
in real physics flying faster than light is impossible... yet without that ability the game would be impossible.. including faster than light travel makes the game playable.
using flight-assist to travel the direction you are moving is also not really a thing (though i think its possible), but you CAN turn this off in game and roll around as much as you want.... including a flight-assist mode makes the game playable.
...., but its also true that a flight control setup is the ideal and most immersive way of playing a space flight game a 3 axis stick with HAT controls, a decent throttle with extra control inputs and pedals for yaw is just intuitive.....
the characters hands in the ship are on a stick and throttle ffs!!!
you're complaining about the physics of a sci-fi game where travelling at hundreds or even thousands of times the speed of light is an every day occurrence and you're complaining because they added DRAG?! wtf man..
