Holy Hell! If the project gets enough support to get started, it'll have multiplayer as well this time around. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1461411552/elite-dangerous
Here's a Let's Play of Elite Frontier (1993): - vigilo confido - |

I won't back anything that don't even have alfa footage or screenshots to show.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating. |

Amazing programmer, how he fitted the game onto a single floppy disk still stumps me today.

Originally posted by ShakyMo Lol, a floppy was 2.8mb, I played it on a 48k ZX Spectrum, you could fit it onto a floppy more than 50times. "i don't waste my time building relationship in games" - nariusseldon |

Yeah I started with frontiers

Elite Plus was the first I played. Didn't find out about Frontier until many years later. The graphics hadn't aged too well at that point. I remember buying something called "tribbles" at some point and regretting it. Unfortunately I hadn't seen the original Star Trek back hen. I hope they make the flight controls feel smooth and slick, and with target tracking like in Freelancer. But I also hope we'll have more advanced flight options.
I really hope both this and Star Citizen turn out to be great. That could usher in a new era of space sims. - vigilo confido - |

Hell yes. I recently went back to Freelancer, since, sadly, there is not a single recent online game I am interested in atm except maybe TL2, which is not precisely "massive" at least when you talk about the actual gameplay. And yes, I know Freelancer is not that massive either, but with around 200 players online at peak times on the private server I am playing I get enough interaction (chasing pirates on my combat ship and beeing chased by pirates on my cargo, lol). And then, BAM, Star Citizen and this! This is the very first time for really long that I am mildly excited about a new game. Please, guys, don't hype these two games too much. Just keep it realistic and let's see how things turn out. |

Or just support Star Citizen which is already at the 4mil mark :]

Originally posted by pauly6478 To be honest, between the two I think one should support Elite. SC already got well above their desired goal, and two space sims are better than one! - vigilo confido - |

I kind of expect SC to have better combat, but Elite to have better "sim" if you know what I mean.

I've got more love for elite than wing commander.
Elite being the best space sim (plus or frontiers). I feel x took it too far, too much about industry, you stopped feeling like han solo doing spice runs. Wing commander is beat by freespace1 & 2 as the mor e arcade style space game imo. |

I think they need to show off more of the game if they want to reach their goal.

It's my belief that in order to reach their target they should display more of their product.
