mrtacoOh man.
That cockpit. That radar. It’s giving me Rogue Leader flashbacks.
I think I need this game.

patrickbatemanEveryone remembers it, except apparently the gaming media who seem to be constantly surprised that it looks awesome.

sulrich70Agreed, surprising given this is the grandchild of the space sim that started it all…and David Braben behind it as well. Obviously the journos are all young now, and don’t remember the original game at all.

anderiAw man! They totally should’ve used “Blue Danube” for the docking music, like they did in the original game!
Still looks freaking awesome, though. How are we going to explore 400,000,000,000 star systems??

SurgicalGlitchYou wont, its all procedural and chances are in the games life time 400 billion systems will not be visited.

spoonieThe game has always looked good – like really good, but has always cost too much to get into alpha and beta – so I’ve just been waiting.

As a Alpha backer of Elite Dangerous and also SC and having access to both early versions of there combat I can say that Elite is much better (At this stage). Also 400 billion star systems……this is literally the biggest game ever created.
