Would love to see a new "Elite" game. Though this Kickstarter campaing for Elite seems to be pretty much rushed out of thin air...

First video on the 19th day, imagine the boost in pledges if it had been put out 10 days ago, I fear David needs better marketing and hyping, I have no doubt in whether this will deliever, but advertising and small updates leave much to be desired.

Originally posted by 13lake Valid points shared by many of the fans, including me. I do think Frontier have gone into this somewhat unprepared, David Braben has had to be proded and poked by pledgers to update and maintain the Kickstarter page, which isn't encouraging at all. |

Originally posted by Torgrim Newtonian will be in, don't know how exactly but it's confirmed in the games FAQ. David Braben has been critical of Frontier's combat though, so it looks like he's on the wright track. |

Newtonian with Fly-By-Wire, imagine F-35 style probably similar to Star Citizens, no direct control over all thrusters.

Yeah I hope they go for fly-by-wire controls in Elite as well. Coupled with newtonian physics that should make for intuitive controls with some interesting emergent situations being possible.

I was first excited about Elite making a comeback.. but not now.. In watching the youtube video there was an area that he talked about how a 3rd person can jump into an existing fight and win.. That is the issue I have with EVE for the limited 14 day trial I had.. I hate playing open world non-concentual PvP.. I enjoyed Elte original in the 80's because it was primary PvE against the AI.. It looks like this new Elite wants to make it all "free for all"... Sorry, I don't find it the least enjoyable to work your ass off in defeating a AI npc, only to have another player come in and dust my clock, since I'm down to 30% armor and take everything..... FORK that..

There's a new video out where he says you can play it single player. So if you want to avoid getting ganked and play it like the old games that would be a good option.

I'm not pledging to this game as I've pledged for another, however this kickstarter idea is all well and good, but I've not seen or played a game which has been made yet from this business model . Until which time that there is some tangible evidence that these people are selling a completed finish product, then I'm afraid I'll not be spending more money for a game which is not worth any more than any other box set sold to me after those developers paid up front to provide it to me. This business model should be given a chance of course, but the gaming public have to be careful or we could all end up paying $500 or £300 to play a game only worth around £30 or $45. Bandit |
