Earlier this week, Elite: Dangerous' players found themselves struggling with a moral quandary. They'd figured out how to kill aliens, but they weren't sure if they should. Now, though, they have been hit with a curve ball: the aliens are growing wise to human weapons and tactics.
Last week, Elite: Dangerous' mysterious aliens finally went on the offensive after months of poking and probing. Now, players have figured out how to fight back, but not everybody's feeling super rah-rah-rah gung-ho about it.
Elite: Dangerous' aliens, once prone to terrifying yet ultimately peaceful encounters, have started reducing players' ships to space dust. Of course you know, this means war.
Support for VR headsets was a given even before Elite: Dangerous was released, but, with the latest announcement from Frontier Developments that the title will be one of the first to feature on the Oculus storefront, it's officially blazing a trail for virtual reality games.
It surprised no one when Elite co-creator David Braben's Kickstarter for a modern refit hit and exceeded it £1.25 million funding goal. If you're wondering how much progress has been made on the actual game since then, the answer is a bit. Well, a lot. Enough to justify a playable alpha by the end of the year.
David Braben's Kickstarter funded Elite development is go, but with only hours left in the Kickstarter, there are added goals, including the prospect of a Mac version.
British Elite fan Drew Wagar has fired up a Kickstarter pledge to help him...afford to back someone else's Kickstarter pledge.
You could be forgiven for seeing the initial launch of David Braben and Frontier Developments' ambitious Kickstarter campaign for a new Elite game and thinking, "OK, but where's the game?"
