As a console player that was left behind by FDev, I can honestly say that I put countless hours into this game and have so many great memories and love so much about ED. My husband's past career took him around the world, for weeks at a time, so us playing ED together online, during our weeks apart was a strong bonding experience, for us!
I did copy my account, in case I ever get a PC, though!
I’m baffled at how you figured out how to play this game on a console! None of it made any sense until I plugged in a HOTAS flight stick to turn flight basics into child’s play.
@@shitmandood Whatevs you say. For those of us who have busy careers and travel frequently, we don't have time or space for gaming PCs and the million required parts and accessories.
However, there were HOTAS models sold to work with PlayStation, and I still own one.
As long as people experience this wonderful game, how they play it is up to how they prefer to play it.
I bet you don't even have a HOTAS setup lol
@@shitmandood I play on PC, and I use a Xbox 360 wired controller to play. There are only like 5 buttons on my keyboard I use when I play. I think it all comes down to play style, for instance if you play in VR then a full HOTAS makes good sense. But I play to chill and relax, so feet up, lean back with my Xbox controller and good times happen 😊
On a side note, I used to play Final Fantasy 14 a huge MMO, and a ton of the players there play on Playstation 4 with controllers.
i played 5 years onPS4 but i bought a secondhand PC for 650 euro elite runs better looks better worth the move
@@lowpinglag You get it! I have a busy career, so when I get off work and play a game, I want to be comfortable, like relaxing with my feet up. I'll pass on an awkward HOTAS setup at a crowded desk, in an uncomfortable gaming chair.
Besides, I like gaming on 55 inch (or bigger) TV. Not on a little monitor lol
KUDOS to Dr Kay Ross for all the work she did to create so much our the ED galaxy.
what i realy do love about Elite is the sounddesign.
If you have some nice headphones, or speakers with a sub, the sound really has a visceral impact that makes it much more immersive. Everything from the exploration music, to the "supercruise thunder", to the electric thrum of passing through the mailslot forcefield, is beautifully done.
@@lloydmills5968 exactly, very well put.
I kind of wish there was a muffle option to turn the engines and blasts down to a low roar. I don’t want to lose my hearing to game engine noise.
The composer Erasmus Talbot and head of audio Jim Croft have done a stellar (heh) job.
I especially love the SRV and 'space legs' music when you're exploring a new world.
I have a favourite system. Kappa-1 Volantis. Planet B 3 F A. Sometimes I sit in the brain trees in my SRV and just look out the window. Then the music starts. And it's beautiful!
So yes, I agree with you about the sound design.
And do check out the brain trees! Lots of Tellurium and Selenium! o7
Of all the things about Elite, it's the community that I love the most. I have met some amazing people because of this game, yourself included. Never have I felt a sense of belonging in an online community as I have with Elite. And it's why I am generally a single player gamer. But Elite is different. And yes, I play in OPEN, unless I am farming! o7
Hear hear! O7
i have like 300 hours in open play and only ever seen 1 other player
I want to love the community. I'm sure it's the type of game where the community is lovely with initiatives like the Fuel Rats or Bucky Ball. But to be fair, I have never 'found' this community. Never did I chat with anyone or even meet anyone in the game. The closest I got was a mutual 'O7' in system chat. For a game that mostly relies on the players themselves to make their own content, there seems to be a profound lack of ways to actually make that happen. All of it seems to be shaped around players just going out and doing their own thing on their own. Great things could be done if players had more impact in how the 'world' of ED is shaped, if there were more goals the community could work towards AND have a way to actually team up to make those things happen..
My favorite thing about the game is that i dont have to pay every month to enjoy it. I dont mind buying a DLC expansion, and maybe paying every month could make the game better if the devs could use those funds to further development, but i am happy i dont have to in its current state.
The first time i've played Elite, i stranded in nowhere without fuel.
I found out about the Fuel Rats, after i gave them my lokation i was waiting and hoping that they'd find me. It doesnt took them long, they threw fuel and oxygen at me and i was good to go. later i found out that my fuel (tank) wasnt actually empty only the reserve tank, however it was amazing to find help in the middle of nowhere. I love the Fuel Rats :)
Todd Howard said about Starfield that they thought about a similar thing, but in the end it would just interrup your gameplay. I think in Starfield that might be right but in Elite, because that whole Fule Rat thing is made by the players (i think) it was one of the most wholesome gamestarts i had.
One thing I love about Elite is when you be leaving the station and you totally muffle out the station traffic control with the ROAR of your thrusters.
I agree with you 100%, there is no other game like Elite Dangerous.
I don’t understand why Elite isn’t higher on the Steam charts.
My first day playing I ran out of fuel, being stuck in space and going out of game to the internet “ Fuel Rats “ and was rescued within 20 minutes. Unbelievable.
All the things you mentioned that you love about Elite has been in the game for years.
It's not higher on the Steam charts because of competition. For example, I now only play MTG Arena. It completely outclasses Elite for exploration because there are over 6,000 cards in Arena and about 1,000 new cards released every year. This means there's practically an infinate number of new decks to explore, and I can do that right now without having to spend hours travelling through space. Elite never reached its potiential because not enough work went into the procedural generation. Braben said he was going to include dinosaur hunting in Elite but all that work went into a different game. I also remember Braben saying in a lecture that every PC game has an average life expectancy of 7 years. Well, by comparison MTG is 29 years old...
There is still a lot of problems with Elite, that don't just pertain to bugs. Lots of design flaws/poorly implemented ideas that affect gameplay/lore/etc. All of which hold the game back
@@morsmagne yeah but MTG is crap! It’s the same old thing year in and out,new cards or not. And aren’t you paying money for the regurgitation? I quit MTG 20+ years ago with zero interest in playing it.
Whereas with ED you have the stellar forge and it requires effort to do things. It’s not rolled out in some massive “consume it” and then on to the next one.
The comparison is more like whether you want to eat at Mickey D’s or a 5 star restaurant. The former is where the average gamer sits.
the reason it is not higher on stem charts is because of the shallowness of the game. miles wide, inches deep. people on steam aren't going to reward that kind of game.
@@shitmandood People do play the same old style MTG decks (e.g. mono red aggro) probably because it's quick and easy to do while they're taking a dump on the loo. Personally, I like playing self-mill decks that are sort of combo decks. With regards to ED, I quickly got bored of hours long space flights - even while using VR. The destinations weren't interesting enough. By now, ED should have proceedurally generated seas with huge sea monsters and dinosaurs, but it doesn't!
VR is my #1 favorite thing, and the content creators that add to Elite is my #2
did they get it working on odyssey ?
Yeah, I'm one of those coming back! After 2 years, and I missed it so much, realizing just now
Been playing more lately, just having fun with ships. Been revisiting some I haven't been using and went out and built a python to run cargo. I always enjoy just flying and building the ships the most.
Came back after 2 years. Good to have all channels which I have subscribed to still taking about elite and what's changed. Makes coming back a lot easier (also had to rewatch some guides again). Man I wish there was some notepad in game to write all what I wanted to do/started 2 years ago.
Yep... The Stellar Forge is far and away the star of the show imo. No other game no matter how good the graphics, level of detail, how good the mechanics, story etc. can compete with Elite in this regard. I love the Lore, and as you've said the community that supports the game, but It's the Stellar Forge.
What is this "stellar forge"?
If it's something related to the lore, I'd appreciate if you could kindly explain it briefly.
I find the lore very deep, but actually I also find it very boring and confusing to follow, most of the time I have to rely on forums or UA-cam, which I dislike very much. No hate meant, it's just me probably.
Cheers.
to be honest space engine beat stellar forge by miles long ago.
@@neonspark707 Nah.
@@frankshailes3205 Then why does obsidian ant only use space engine footage to shame elite 🤣 think about that. The largest content creator for a game....won't even prefer to use that games own footage because it is so behind the times it looks like an archive b-roll from 7 years ago 😉. Plus with space engine you get a 1:1 universe, not just one galaxy. Miles beyond. Like I said.
@@neonspark707 I believe you misunderstood that the stellar forge has nothing to do with Elite's graphics. It only generate the galaxy. About Obsidian Ant, he may be the most popular channel that talk about the game, but he is not always the most faithful.
I love the open ended exploration and the integration of VR (I hope and hope and hope that sooner or later VR will be extended to space legs).
It reminds me of that iconic line from Blade Runner, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe."
Big shoutout to ObservatoryCore and its plugins, especially the bio plugin, for making exploration far less of a grind.
New console player here! Absorbing everything I can and enjoying it immensely. Highlight so far was hearing the Blue Danube when auto-docking (reminds me of v1 from the C64 days)
5:41 You're welcome! I can still remember when 2013 or so the first trailers came out and I and a small group of people suggested for a third person camera to make shots like the trailers. It was a hard fight in the forum against simulator hardliners, who thought a third person camera would not be realistic and the possibility to cheat.
...
Like the hardliners to day, who are against walk in ship interoir.
Console gamer here still playing Odyssey using GeForce Now and I agree with these likes, especially that camera. It also serves as a sort of recon drone when taking on AZ Reactivation missions so you can see where the Revenant are and strategize.
Well done, Astro. I look back on my time with the game fondly for many of these reasons.
I watched this one second… glad I did cuz the other one last would drive me nuts. I agree with all points on this video.
One thing that I both love and hate is Passenger operations. Some of the potential missions have really great itineraries which can introduce you as the caption to all sort of new experiences, but I would like to create my own itineraries and then show up at a station and have travelers search me out like a modern day cruise line - instead of vice versa. For rescue operations, I would like to be able to overload the available births by certain levels since it's not a pleasure cruise. So what if the rescuees have to hot bunk, or even not sleep at all - I'm saving their backsides from sure death!
Now I'm imagining your ships bridge cluttered with npc's like an overcrowded subway car. 😅
@@2wheel_freedom That's the idea - Save 'em all - make serious Creds!
I've always said Odyssey needs NPCS in the concourses tapping you on the shoulder and asking for a lift. They could sit in the cockpit in a spare seat (doesn't matter if they teleport there to avoid any pathfinding issues.) Then you take them to Colonia, laughing all the way.
I also love the sound fx, is like a movie
I played the original version of Elite that was released in the mid 1980's on a BBC computer with black and white graphics. It was a nightmare to manually try and dock until you got enough credits to buy a docking computer.
Did you load it up on cassette tape?
@@shitmandood I think the BBC used floppy disks
I played back in the 80’s to on a commodore64😂 a bygone era.
@@timmurphy1250 I played the various versions of Elite on a number of different computers that I had.
I was there at the start of Elite Dangerous and my honest opinion, and I loved it at that time. It's open world, you fly from X to Y and deliver Z and thats where it fell down for me. The average MMORPG can create a crazy, innovative world that breaks barriers and blows you away with the visuals. Elite Dangerous, which I loved, could never do that... Space is space, 99.9% of the time you are looking at....... space. I played for about a year and then, looking at stars bored me.
Thargoids were an awesome addition as someone who played the Atari ST version back in the day, but was short lived. Gaming has moved on, very few people want this playstayle anymore.
This kind of gameplay only keeps hardcore people interested, much like Eve Online. Most people want instant action these days.
Games like Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen will die out quickly and you can quote me on this in 5 years time, thanks!
Fun video. The 1:1 Galaxy model, the visual magnificence of said galaxy, and the community are definitely the top 3 elements of ED. I have never experienced such a unique and awesome community of players around a single game before (fortunately this seems to hold up with SC but that's largely because the two communities are kind of the same). What other community is crazy enough to do something such as learning celestial navigation from a reference point that isn't Earth? I feel like I could write a novel on all the amazing things the ED community has done (Drew Wagar loved this game series so much he actually wrote multiple novels for it). Only down side is that the community has been so amazing that when FDev seems to be neglecting this game (or in the case of the console players just ending it) it makes the whole thing hurt all the more.
The Endgame of ED is farming loot.
Cheesedick the respawn mechanic of the sites
One thing elite does better than anyone else IMO is the god tier sounds in the game. Having some good headphones or surround sound hifi kind of audio with elite dangerous is just absolutely amazing.
New to this game and love the depth
Love the guidance from discord channels and friends you make along the way
Love that video Sir. cheers
My favorite things about Elite are 1) Scale. The Milky Way in 1:1. Amazing! 2) Sandbox. There is no required activity and no end! o7
Okay, 5 things is a short list, but i am surprised sound and the flying (feeling/mechanic) weren't at least given an honourable mention. They are 2 of the main reasons i keep playing. Did notice nothing from odyssey made this list. Will be interested to see the dislike 5.
ED definitely got a lot of things right. Haven't played since Horizons, but I do miss it sometimes. It just doesn't rank high enough for me anymore to justify storage space on my laptop. Maybe when I finish my desktop build it will get a reinstall. Thanks for all your work and research in this game and others. Sure made my experiences better. Cheers!
No VR basically kills Odyssey.
What do you like about Elite: Dangerous?
I play Odyssey in VR.
Great point about the camera. Something I find amusing is that one of my all time favourite ED videos, Destination Unknown by Edwin Stowe - ua-cam.com/video/2BgvGLptN18/v-deo.html - was made before the camera suite was available, so most of the footage had to be taken by looking up through the canopy of a ship with a big enough glass ceiling.
These 5 points, the game world generated by the stellar forge the most important feature here for me, are literally why there's no real competitor for Elite for me. I went back to Elite 2: Frontier und First Encounters from other space games over the years before ED, because I loved the freedom and realistic galaxy approach so much, and not a single other game delivered on that. I wished so much they would have done more with it, but the Elite Milky Way is still the one thing that keeps me attached to the game.
I use that camera every single time I play lol I even bind all the camera keys
*grandpa mode engaged* I remember when we had no external camera at all, and some of us started to ask for one. We got jumped on rather violently by a large, conservative portion of the forums (muh immurshuuuuun). The fight was fierce, polls by the dozen every days, with really appaling, stupid arguments on the cons side (muh immershun being the boss, but also "unfair advantage in fights" and I shit you not, "stalking players while hidding behind an asteroid" thrown in the party). Even Frontier was not keen about the idea. And at the time, they were already selling cosmetics. And then, they came up with this. Albeit a much more restrictive version at first. And everybody was suddenly fond of having an external camera. Geez.
im a left behind xbox player. this was one of my all time favorite games. i miss it
if elite dangerous will update the interiors each ships allow us to walk to use inside the ship and this game elite dangerous will become the father of all space games
If you're into space in any way shape or form, Elite will float your boat. Plus the more we know about the cosmos and with the James Webb delivering detail like never before? It can all be added to the ED galaxy experience in the future.
Aside from the baggage and drama of Star Citizen, the main reason I can't see myself playing it is because it's a fake galaxy. To me it doesn't matter how good the graphics are, they are still less important to me than getting that realism feeling right.
When you get into VR for the first time and you jump to ANY star, you feel that 'Wow' straight away.
Elite Damgerous is a staple in space games.
Of course Asp Scout is the reason we love ED.
Just came back after a year away, basically relearning everything. Dont care much for the space legs part. But everything else is grand.
I don't play anymore but still don't mind watching others play for some strange reason...
Please advise about the errors, Etisalat error (Taupe Cobra)
Contact FDev support.
I hate the fact that the VR performance in Odyssey got so bad that is totally immersion breaking. The game looks still decent (although in Odyssey it looks worse than in Horizon) but still requires a lot of work in terms of optimisation and AA.
I’m glad of the fact I never invested in VR.
@@shitmandood I think you’re missing out though. Elite Dangerous is one of the most incredible experience in VR. Once you try it, you never go back to play it in flat screen.
@@VRDaD I did. And I still play ED. VR was not for me, because I use a lot of third party tools. :)
@@TemalCageman yeah that can be annoying…but with ovs overlay you can probably put all your screens where they need to be… making it even more cool.
true, Elite is love...
...and Hate. :D
But that's my first Game over huuuuge hours of playing.
I shouldn't be able to use the ground or a station to stop my ship takes no damage whatsoever
I just wanted a 3rd person camera =(
am I the only struggling with the external camera? :)
Probably since no-one answered in 4 days. :D
I wish all ship had damage engine like anaconda
For me it’s the.. Landing on a planet that nobody in the world has been on .. and that special vista wondering where wil I go next
@@underleft that’s the price of being more close to real life
my favourite part of elite are the ship interior..........s. welp never mind.
i actually cant think of much anymore, i know why i started and enjoyed the game. but since odyssee, all these things started to disapper cause they got overshadowed by the new stuff. like the worst gun play since pong, the stupid ass idea of bringeing back the materials pool etc. its just backwards development, back into the cave with clubs. So i basically stopped playing ( i start 2 years before odyssee) and even worse, i decided to upgrade my GPU and tried SC. And since that i see no point in comimg back, since there is an alpha doing more stuff right in 2 years, then ED in his whole existence. ye i know its not fair to compare cause RSI is basically an entire company designed around one game to develop and frontier not. But there are things on the community list for changes they wish for, from back when horizons released, and since the 4 years i basically only saw communications from fdev, when odyssee was prepared and after odyssee was released.
there is nothing new coming to the game, like new ships, SLF , they dont even tweak ships anymore. it just feels like the game is standing still inventionwise all the engineers, constructors, designers, and ship manufacturers got paused. even with the frkn thargoid war lakon did not make a type 11 ??? litterally like the whole industrie in game is the sleeping beauty. the scorpius things was just an accidental fart that almost wake her up. And then there is the fact that theyre so childish about their " no we said NO INTERIEURS" ,mmann for real game development is partly, copy pasting to take what people like and put it in your game and if your smart THEN you can even put a new mechanic on top.
but pppllllleeaasssseeeee let me exit my chair and walk the 4 steps to the door where i then can decide if i wanna spawn in a vehicle or SLF.
ill check back from time to time and keep watching all you guys videos.
anyway but i have given up on Fdev and ED. im no AXer so im not coming back untill they invade Pohlahukuna (selfproclaimed home system) or .... like 7 wonders of the world happening at once.
You should know that SC has been in alpha for 7 years and not 2 years and will continue to be in that state for many years to come. That said, I am happy for you finding a game you like. :)
The problem with ED realism:
The ships have this arcadey element to them (the HUD for example) which takes away from the feeling that it's real.
Also: your video about why you hate ED is 50% longer than the one why you love it..
It is so emersion breaking when you can't walk around the ship and get a feel for size. You trivialize your ship if you never feel like you're in a ship and not just cockpit.
Man, just go into the camera suite and drink in the view. That gives you a lot of the scale right there, at least from the outside. My commander looks pretty small next to the Krait
@@sonny9608 Do you play in VR?
@@sonny9608 that's why you don't get it.... playing in 2D it wouldn't matter, but in VR it's amazing
I think you hit all the problems I have with the game in the first two likes, then you touch on the grinding of engineering in the 3rd like and absolutely hit every thing. The thing I want the most is people to play with and everytime I try to find a community they are either a bunch of solo introverts or a group of elitist jackwagons. You literally named all the things I hate surrounding this game.
True... but give Delta Squadron a chance. It is an active group, and we are currently on 4:th place regarding ownership of systems in the game. :)
I stull don't understand why you said last year that you though Elite was doomed. I mean, you were one of the only UA-camr not to follow that trend, and nothing that you've done or said after that has supported that view, as you still keep that mostly positive view.
Link to the video where he say ED is doomed?
@@TemalCageman ua-cam.com/video/GBS7bEUhS7E/v-deo.html go to minute 4:05 and then listen
Focus on realism ... except high gravitation bodies.
Only game I have played over 1000hrs. Life long game, will buy any and all expansions if funding to keep it going is needed.
Going to disagree. Elite does have a endgame it’s called engineering grind
im still likin the game its great cough mostly cough
What the fuck is that thing that said like 2:30?
Best Game Ever !
Hi, thanks for this vidéo. ED desserve really much more attention, development and players. I also appreciate to play solo and with friends, I liké the possibilité too explore without thé risk or been destroyed by a hard core players (i dont like to fight)
Well next week tell us ALL other things you hate About Elite Dangerous 😂
Nerf Dev's
Star Citizen
The camera is a piece of shit for a normal player. EVERY flight sim has simple but great camera views with one key stroke, eg external flyby, chase, side views, locked external views to objects/targets etc (eg IL2) without all that obtuse convoluted bullshit in the 'camera suite/free camera' bollocks. OK have that for you 'content creators' but give normal players a quick external good view with ONE button press with no emersion breaking fucking hud menu and it stuck right up to the ship!
I loved playing Elite on Xbox. I hate playing Elite on PC.
Have you tried using your XBox controller with your Pc? ED on PC has a very nice preset for using XBox controllers on the PC.... because it is the same. ;)
:)
First off i put down elite dangerous for several months because of serious health issues when i come back the game it is totally screwed! up the first thing that needs to be done is to get rid of or update instructional videos that have no bearing on the newer updates. i have been trying for the last two hours to figure out how to land on planets so i can mine for nickel in my srv i have horizons i'm in the shenartra dezera sector what gives do i have buy another special permit or another dumb ass emoji looking sticker to plaster to my ship like you down to earth i have had this simulation for years and i can deal with the bugs in the game but frontier is getting greedy like the rest of the man child develelopers and if this mess of a game was not stuck in my steam library i would have given it away a long time ago!
figures! nothing but crickets chirping!
I wanted to reach out to you, hawks gaming, and OA, about pushing Fdev to reinvest time into the console version. Leave out the legs and space suits parts. I'm still playing my console version 3yrs later thanks to you guys.
Since Odyssey is a DLC and not a new game, both MS and Sony have strict rules that if a DLC is released it needs to run on whatever console they had when the original game was released. FDev wanted to release the DLC to the new consoles, but MS and Sony said no.
@@TemalCageman but where has odyssey got them? Seems like it's brought a lot of hate and frustrated gamers over their buggy design, maybe it's time to dump odyssey and this stupid FPS combat idea all together and get back to flying ships. I would rather spend time walking around my ship than trying to shoot some stupid npc bots in some small area. It really feels like Fdev dumped on all the players and fans that made this game great to try and attract a bunch of "Call of Duty" idiots who want to camp on a building and shoot fish in a barrel.
@@Stonedmonkey1x I actually find the FPS part of Odyssey quite fun. Sure, it was in a very bad shape when released. But now it is actually, as I said, quite fun. :) I also do not think that they tried to attract "COD fans". On foot gameplay was part of the kickstarter way back. Wether they delivered what everyone wanted is another discussion though.
Ship interiors needs to have a gameplay. The way Elite is designed it doesn't make any sense at this point. And I have full understanding of that.
Fleet Carriers have interiors that makes sense since all on foot material gathering can be traded between players at the Bartender.
EDIT: If the FC owner has such module installed.
@@TemalCageman I don't know man, I've yet to see any video from the content creators I follow that feel satisfied with it or that it was the correct way for ED to move forward. 🤔
@@TemalCageman and as far as interiors go, I would be much more inclined to take that 20 or 30min flight in super cruise to some ridiculously distant planet or star or what ever, if I could get out of my damn seat and walk around the ship, play some mini game in the crew lounge or just simply standing in the hanger having an up close look at my fighter. I would give up any kind of foot combat or base raiding just to stand on the back deck of a type 9 or 10 checking out those massive engines as I trudge through endless light seconds and light years of space, in the thing I spend the most time in the game in mind you, rather than standing on a planet. I think allowing the players to make their ships their "home's" would have been way easier and would have sold way better.
yo iv just been playing in solo mode my name is Cmdr Blazenbud i smuggle space weed.
