Capital Ship Battle Video
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Here is the capital ship battle video used as part of the composer selection process for Elite: Dangerous. The video contains the music created for the pitch by the winning composer Erasmus Talbot.
The video also helped us develop other aspects of the game such as ship materials, GUI layout and special effects. Look out for David Braben's next dev diary where he will talk about why we created this video. We'll also follow up with a detailed art making of video to highlight how the artists benefitted from putting this video together.
You can can follow the latest developments for Elite: Dangerous on our website: elite.frontier.....
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea..." -most real Elite quote ever
if i had a dollar every time i said that...
Do you mean buying the game? Because I just discovered its £120 for the "full" game and it took me 20 minutes to stop laughing and pull myself together.
I got everything for 28 euros kek
Dunno what you read or where, because the game + the Horizons pass was about £35-40 last I looked. Cheaper still in the steam sale when it was running.
Though, i actually /did/ spend £90 on it. But that was in the beta and included the lifetime pass.
don't have any form of steady income, make less than a dollar a day, payed full price when the game first came out, and preordered the expansion, thus paying the best $120 i've spent.
"Thank God! We have backup!"
**four sidewinders drop out of super cruise**
"Nevermind, we're gonna die..."
That's because you are not elite enough. I would have saved that battle cruiser in a Hauler!
@@Volgrand na type 9
Yeah that made me laugh lol
They're literally cannon fodder in reality these days.
Loolz
The boys have arrived
Wait... Did I just see four sidewinders in a high intensity combat zone lasting for over ten seconds?
I need to rethink life...
And that's why you are not an elite yet :P
Me in a vulture *9 seconds*
You haven't seen Archon Fury fly a Sidey.
Welcome to the world of marketing, where the people trying to sell it don't even know what the product is about.
Dude i suck in combat personally and die even with a combat ship, but a good fighter pilot could easily win a battle against op ships
If four sidewinders show up to save me I'll just self destruct.
Sameeee
@@wittyjadee29 i would honestly just deploy a fighter to help them to help me
Lmao
Honestly same
Same
preparing to fight imperials
"I bring friends"
expecting anacondas
3 sidewinders
how about a corvette?
👍🏻👍🏻🤣🤣
Four actually
hey, don't underestimate a good pilot in a well-equipped Sidewinder!
@@wittyjadee29 3, considering one got destroyed by an imperial fighter not that long into the battle
to 4 bravest sidewinders in the galaxy
the legends...
make that 3
nope, 4
RE-L Mayer probably a rated
Enhanced thrusters lol
Sidewinders fighting capitals in a high intensity combat zone, you guys are either mad, insane, or just have big balls of steel
or not caring about their credits
(that is if the sidewinders are not default)
Even if they're outfitted that's a tiny amount in insurance. Especially if you have millions.
Definitely not balls of steel.
or have hacks activated
I've seen people chase off fdls on engineered sideys. Its possible 4 could take down a capital ship. Enhanced performance thrusters at G5 dirty drag drive with rail guns and engineered hull reinforcements could do this.
You would need to fully take advantage of FA flying and every trick in the book to pull it off.
*In Battle Video* None of the pilots get shot by capital ship.
*In Game* Get Close to capital ship... get shrekt m8
CMDR Tacki XT It's an imperial capital ship, they don't tartget fighters as much as a federal capital ship, which absolutely destroys fighters
i will admit that the capital ships are terribly underpowered, even in small ships like the Vulture its extremely easy to drive one off
Unless you know what you're doing chances are you won't make it from stern to bow of a capital ship without getting utterly shredded, ESPECIALLY in a Sidey
LOL Sidewinders attacking capital ships...that is really funny.
They're cobras, aren't they?
Anthony Harrison No, they are sidies.
***** Yip. Every so often I pick one up, meaning to keep it, but end up wanting to put the coin to something else. But I love the sidey so much, I named mine. Heh.
+Anthony Harrison
Well xwing attacking star destroyer is fun too :p
+RingoFreakingStarr You obviously have not been introduced to the Teethwinder...
I attempted to reenact this with a sidewinder and got blown up instantly.
You were Sidey number one in the formation. He lasted 4 seconds.
It's weird coming back to this concept video after playing for months. The instruments have all changed, the combat bond system has changed, the capital ship design has changed (slightly), the weapons systems have changed, the eagles profile has changed, pretty much everything has changed. It's better now, but we'll likely never have a mission like this.
I'd love to see this in game. Frontier, we need more interaction with the capital ships. I'm willing to wait until it's right, but it needs to happen.
+Robert Forde The game has been out for a year, what do you expect? All in good time.
I've still never seen a capital ship, even in a HEAVY conflict zone in a huge population system with two minor factions, one aligned with the Federation the other with the Empire, fighting. For interaction to happen we need more spontaneous world events like Lugh, where player actions can influence the outcome to a much higher degree.
+cannonfodder343 I've seen both of them in one combat zone, but they were ignoring each other and focusing on smaller targets. Sad
klarkolofsson three years later...
Yeah, I agree, some more "scripted" big dog fight sequences would be pretty epic........
Everyone talking bout how the backup was sidewinders, yet no ones talking about how FIGHTERS were doing serious damage to a capital ship...
For all intents and purposes, that is the point of them - To harass and deliver pinpoint strikes. We're not given any indication of just how long those two capital ships were going at it. For all we know, they've been fighting for hours - if not days. If fighters were legitimately that powerful in the game then a vast majority (not all) of the player base would stop playing left and right.
@@ImperialGuardsman2 as it is, the player base IS dropping the game left and right. albeit for different reasons
@@ImperialGuardsman2 considering how they dropped console like a rock, that’s the only reason i need to drop the game like a rock unless i can port my save over to pc or they backtrack and suddenly decide to work on console elite again.
@@gipsydangeramericasmonster9632 6 months later they have opened a way to clone your console Cmdr to PC
It's true that capital ships are indestructible in gameplay, but don't underestimate SLFs; their firepower is equivalent to a class-4 hardpoint weapon.
And those 4 where the only ones to ever see this.
atleast 5, including me. I've seen a few capital ship battles in high intensity combat zones featuring federation and imperials. Also, this is a *cinematic* trailer.
Happens all the time by now, get to a civial war system where you find an imperial fighting a federal faction.
D... Did the Federation just..... win against the empire in a trailer!?
There's gotta be a catch, right?
I mean, Frontier isn't gonna show the canonically pro slavery faction winning a battle, right
@@ThisHandleIsRare Indentured servitude is still slavery. Plus many get trapped in it and then shipped off. Regardless of how slaves are treated in Imperial space it has made a market for slaves across the Bubble. Many slaves are smuggled out of Imperial space and then are treated horribly by other non-Imperial groups. It's simply too profitable to not happen, and as such slavery needs to stop in Imperial space to prevent that from happening.
to bad your friends will never drop in next to you like that...
That's entirely possible! Use "Nav lock" with a space bud, it'll drop you out right next to em when they drop, more or less.
Nick R. you gotta be kidding me, right?
nav lock doesnt work at the moment AT ALL! people drop Ls away, and if it works its in empty space.
It can definitely be a bit finnicky, no doubt. I've been putting it to good use with a friend lately, dropping into hazres sites and such. I've seen the auto drop engage from up to 162 ls away, so far, and it usually puts me around probably 250 meters from his ship. Not as close as the video, straddling the canopy over there, but pretty satisfyingly close.
Nick R. it used to work for me at first just fine, but after 2.0 i think it started getting wonky, with dropping in a ring(not a RES) for mining can be a real problem for navlock.
They drop to the place you dropped your navlock beacon, reapply and they'll be riiight next to you.
"Dammit! Derek is hit!"
Yeah, he's just been blown to smithereens.
By an imperial SLF of all things... He's never gonna hear the end of it when he wakes up in his flash clone with those memories still fresh. XD
he brought a SIDEWINDER to a GUNFIGHT lol RIP Derek!
@@andrew123456ish Life comes at you fast when you go into high intensity CZs in a flying box of tissue paper
"I brought friends"
4 sidewinders
If you pay attention, Damocles' cannons actually glow red slightly then turn back to their iron coloration when engaging the Imperial Interceptor. Lovely attention to detail in this.
imagine a cqc mode that is like this. capital battle with sidewinders GU fighters and condors I could see that being a bit fun for a while
Whoooo! Well THIS is Elite I would like to play!
This is what I wish elite dangerous was
@@unpotatoedsalmon Idk what you're playing, but this is what elite dangerous is for me.
But fun and elite that's not a real thing
@@mechmastergaming6304 Bro you're not looking in the right places then. Get some friends together and jump into an conflict zone in open play ... EZ even better if its a community goal event
This is the Elite I hoped for! Sadly nothing of that yet
2019 here.
Would love to see an up to date one of these
2021 Here. Imagine a fleet carrier hotdropping on a conflict zone, with 10 commanders launching to help. THAT would be awesome.
@@thedoctor323
2022 here. Imagine gameplay content.
"I bring Friends"- 4 sidewinders show up.........."Really?!"
First day player here.
- Capital ships were not in the game for at least a month
- Capital vs capital battles weren't in for even longer
- If you anything worse than a Cobra your kill speed was slow and you could get focused down leading to a net loss
- I used Fer de lance for profit for 3 days before they nerfed bounties to the fking ground
- Ships took a lot more shots to kill, bounty hunting was a boring cat and mouse game of high risk low returns
- Mining required a lot of capital to start and even worse income
- The only way you could actually afford a Cobra+ before the capital ship area battles came out was to metagame rare luxury routes or get a T9 Heavy and trade between 2 stations ad infinitum
- There was never any economy simulation, whiny dads moaned until frontier gutted player piracy (which was already a meme from the start) and systems even thousands of lightyears away from core spawned pirates/civilians
- Marketed as an MMO but areas were instanced, we had to frameshift and jump back the same area multiple times to get me and 3 of my friends into the same instance even though we were in a party
Looking back, this game was a kickstarter scam. Sure, they delivered a barebones shell of a game with amazing graphics and sound effects but it had less gameplay than you would expect an indie space sandbox today, not to mention all the lies from their devblogs.
Its amazing how far this game has come just from this video. Great job FD, game is simply amazing to play.
YES
If only this had been the kickstarter video for Elite Dangerous when it launched! It would of raised double the pledges. This is the perfect video that would of guaranteed massive interest to this project. Hopefully when the alpha launches next month, funding will increase alot more. Here's to reaching £3 million before launch in March!
Strange comming back to these videos
"I brought friends"
HahahahahAHAHAHAHA thats so FUCKING FUNNY. SO FUCKING FUNNY.
+Spaghetti wait let me reload they aren't in my instance!
and after reload you are in the empty space with nothing. and friends are still at other instance.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but was that a freakin' intergalactic jump in the beginning?!
Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but it's still not as awesome as this clip from 3 years ago...
I think it might have been a nebula, doesn't look like the milky way.
It’s more likely a nebula, not a galaxy
Greetings, it's been 7 years and it's still not even remotely close to this video.
Ok, so uh... from the future here. FDev when do we get that epic UI and also when do we get to do battles more like this?
Still unattainable level. Everyone was waiting to be able to accept tasks in the same way and participate in something serious. Unfortunately, this will never come. 😢😥😓
Looks like someone's never been to a capital class distress call
I understand that cool close flyghtroughs are trailer-taken liberty and I am fine with that. What I really miss in game we've got is the lack of comm chater and interactivity. I never got called for help by anyone, and any comms is almost by text only.
The little Sidewinders that could
I just saw this video to day for the first time holy crap this game is going to be so awesome.
literally the only space game that understands the concept that in space there isnt air resistance
Kerbal Space Program?
Four Sidewinders? What is this, the Iron Pringle Squadron?
The more i watch this the more i'm falling in love with this game guys... Something this good is a long time coming :D
Really sad that this is literally impossible in game. Even sadder because mechanics like this are not hard to implement.
nothing against E:D but the game shown in this video looks *way* cooler.
If only elite dangerous combat was really this good
Thank god those sidewinders showed up when they did. Who know what would have happened.
One of them would not have exploded. probably
I can't wait for this... I too am holding my breath because it's been such a LONG time with many mishaps here and there. Saying that however, the X games were a worthy replacement while Elite was aimlessly roaming the abyss. The X games WERE good but, Elite was always something a bit more special... Given the fact that it was the progenitor for all such games ever since. Let us pray it's going to be something really special once more!
Sorry, but the X series were never even remotely close to a worthy replacement for Elite, since they have no proper realistic galaxy nor seamless atmospheric flight nor landing on planets also they had a focus on empire building and fleet management instead.
Wormhole ThirtyTwoHundred Well... We're both in agreement that Elite was far superior but, personally, I enjoyed the X Games... Well... X3 Reunion anyway (I never played earlier games and Terran Conflict won't run on my VERY old machine!). I guess the empire building element in the X Games is what made it fun (if empire building was your thing!), but you're right! Elite is by and large a far superior game on many fronts and I hear that the new X Game is now basing itself very much on the Elite model of the player just controlling one main ship.
As someone who's read the Honor Harrington novel series by David Weber, this space battle was pretty tame. In those books there are multiple large ships whose missiles have multiple stages, use FTL gravity pulse technology to communicate, etc. etc. There's no reason the ship in this video couldn't have "launched all tubes" to begin with. Other than that, pretty cool.
Six years on, and no combat scenarios of combat depth of anything approaching this at all. Indeed, combat scenarios and depth in some space games 25yrs ago were more involved than what we have six years into ED...
I remember seeing this video on its release. So much hope and expectation for the gameplay depth... Oh well...
please tell me where to go for a dogfight?
@@GB3770 Nothing like implied in their videos (or this one). CQC invested into the core game could have added something akin to dog fights with us able to holo-me into missions/tasks in fighters, for PvE or indeed even PvP for Powerplay... But nope...
Just how confident this Interdictor class captain was to think that ship could beat Farragut capital class?
Lasers that fire continuous beams! Finally someone got it right!
Boy Talbot sure knocked the music out of the park.
and nothing in the game is anything like this
than you probably never played it m8
Actually if conflict zones have lots of stuff going on a capital ship will come
theres capital ships and stuff, but not nearly as good as this. They just sit there shooting as stuff, they don't move, and theres no damage effects on them. You take out their heat relays and they leave. woo.
You may have problems with understanding that this is a CINEMATIC VIDEO.
It's still really fun, when they warp in and out it makes the god damn coolest sound on earth I swear.
The battles in the game are absolutely great. Lasers flying left and right.
If only Elite was actually like this.
I think This trailer would be a lot cooler if it was done in anacondas or something because then it would actually make sense because sidewinders surviving more than 10 seconds in a conflict zone is nearly impossible and I don't care how much of an amazing pilot you are or how engineered your sidewinder is you're probably going to be ending up as a floating piece of wreckage
I dunno What to say!
This is awesome! This is exactly what i've always imagined. Thank you very much! As already said: i am so glad i've backed up commander jameson :D
Cant believe its been such a short time since we 'kickstarted' this and look where we are now! Started to get a wee bit excited!
So, should I go for this, star citizen, or my current must have game, no mans sky. Any input to sway my decision would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know much about Elite Dangerous but from what ive seen from most videos, they are often just in ships and they don't go into planets but into space stations.
As for Star Citizen, you can step out of your ship, go to planets, walk around your ship and many more. too many to list in one sitting.
I don't intend to bash Elite Dangerous, I have only seen like 6-8 videos of it and I'm still not sure what it offers in the future. As for no man's sky, I have no total interest on it since it bashed Star Citizen.
SC will release a year after ED
Francois Yalung Elite will have first person elements identical to Star Citizen, though it'll come in expansions, rather than being there on release. ED is going to release this year though, if things go as planned.
After following both games for a while, i have come to these conclusions:
Star Citizen:
+Ship Design
+Sci-fi skyboxes
+Star wars style combat
+All content on release
-At least a year until release
+limited universe so stuff is condensed for more action
Elite Dangerous:
+Sound Design
+Realistic skyboxes (still awesome though)
+more realistic combat, also feels awesome
-some content (eg. going into planets and walking out of ships) to come in expansions
+release possibly this year
+Whole galaxy simulated so greater free roam (still big battles though organised by the devs)
Alex J ED will be in beta in 30 days SC is not even in Alpha state i think 2-3 years is a better choice.
That looks absolutely stunning, I only have one thing that stood out, the huge explosions needs to be slower, those are explosions the size of huge buildings.
Except for that, absolutely brilliant.
I like the game. But this video is so fake it hurts.
+Ermy Looks hella cool though. Taken as shorts and not as indications of gameplay, all these trailers are super cool, and feel kinda like the stories you make up in your head sometimes. Pretty cool in their own right.
+pizza4554 yes, but are totally fake. the game has supercool things. why not use them?
+Ermy Well, in this video specifically, the game wasn't even done yet.Trailers like this are sort of expected to not really indicate gameplay, and Frontier puts up lots of videos of gameplay, too. These trailers have their place, and there's lots of gameplay footage if that's what you're looking for.
This was a pre-pre-alpha cinematic trailer. Of course it doesn't look like the game does now.
this video was made before the release, they had no idea it's not this epic :/
nobody mentions the fact, that the sideys are coming from the outer parts of the galaxy, with 46% fuel still in the tank... beside the combat capabilities of these commanders, its a hell of a sidey if you ask me :D
this trailer is 8 years old and the game looks worse than the pov shots still
wtf, it definitely looks better :D The only thing that maybe looks better here are maybe some reflections.
it's good to see they have kept some of the head up display from the 90's
"Yahoo! You're all clear, Damocles! Now let's blow this thing and go home!"
Awesome! If the in-cockpit view is a relatively accurate example of what will be in the end product, I'm *very* happy!
why does it have to be a competition between start citizen and elite? why cant you all get along like the developers of each game. If either game looks interesting to you then you should support the genre as a whole...don't make it a CoD vs. Battlefield dispute
So true, despite being space sims both game are very different and both will do or have something than the other will not. So instead of trying to decide the "best one" (even when both game did not even launched), people start chose the one than has the features they want (or wait and play both and chose the best one for them)?
Using the analogy you brought of COD and BF, both are FPS but this don't make them the same. Chose the best one for you have fun instead of lose time with stupid fanboys wars on the internet with people we don't even know.
For me it's a combo Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, Limit Theory and No Man's Sky. if one of than suck I have the other as backup. Also Elite is out in March 2014 and Star Citizen just in early 2015, there is plenty of time for people play Elite before Star Citizen.
Because on the internet the rule is. ''You Must Only Like one''
4 sidewinders magically destroy everything
Well, there's still a Kickstarter going, for the audio book projects from Fantastic Books - www.kickstarter.com/projects/fantasticbooks/official-elite-fiction-release-in-audio-and-print?ref=live
Love it! Nice to see external shots of the action to good effect.
Ok so I am playing the Gamma right now, and assuming there will not be a huge feature patch between gamma and official release, this is either the "coolest most boring game ever" or "most boring cool game ever".
The scope of the galaxy is obviously mindblowing, the galaxy mechanics are great (Frameshift/Supercruise/interdiction), the visuals etc. are good. But what is a sandbox worth if its only filled with sand ? What is the motivation to grind credits for an expensive ship, if the only benefit it gives you is more grind. And it is so dull, I am not even talking WoW kind of dull, where you have at least a questline. Not even. It's just fetch/kill quests or "missions" or trading, wich is basicly fetching without a quest. The multiplayer aspect is just not there besides the fact that you can see the other person, and move in the same space. There are no cooperative missions or activities. Absoluteley no incentives to comunicate with other players. Don't get me wrong, I am huge spacesim fan, and an ED fan in particular, I would not have backed the game or post comments about it otherwise. I just dont understand how most people are completley cool with this game. I mean it would be ok in alpha but no way this is acceptable as a finished product. (Public release) And besides how is this not supposed to be boring? Or am I missing like 70% of the whole game?
Pretty much all the selling points, other than the massive galaxy, are a fabrication at this point in time. It's sad that even at their preview event they seem to be trying to hoodwink people into believing that group content exists.
i hope this game wont flop :/
I watched some different "let's plays" of this game and I totally agree. You have this HUUUUGE space but pretty much nothing to do. You get a mission where you basically have to fly somewhere whcih can take a ridiculous amount of time just flying in a straight line and when you get there there may be a rather boring fight.
Hitchslapped think eve. It's going to be getting more content as it goes
Cr1mSoNOuTLaW Calling this a release-version is still ridiculous. It's just not a finished game unless you enjoy doing the same few things over and over again.
Wow that looks real good. Love the hyperspace or whatever they call it ... Wicked sense of speed and scale in there.
Tell me lies. Tell me sweet little lies....
A Sidewinder, in the right hands, is worth a dozen Anacondas.
Hyperspace. Loading... STAR. Supercruise. cooldown. Hyperspace. Loading... STAR. Supercruise. cooldown. Hyperspace. Loading... STAR. Supercruise. Aim. Wait 5 minutes. Slow down. Drop out of supercruise. Loading...
I'm not sure what kind of computer you have, but I have a mid range PC and hyperspace loading takes only about 15 seconds. Meanwhile I wouldn't even call the transition in and out Supercruise a loading screen it is so short. Less than 5 seconds.
How does this game even run for you?
The Albatross no loading
cannonfodder343 15 seconds too long
it's not the loading times he's complaining about, but the fact that this game is always the same. very repetitive
Im CMDR Sidewalker, and you now know the full power of this operational flyshitter!
excuse me
@@anakinskywalkerjedimaster7382 You underestimate yyour powers! Let go your emotions young one!
Star Citizen has cooler ships but Elite has a cooler HUD (compared to stuff they've shown if you look for it. Frankly I think Elite will have a cooler one either way. Too bad you're flying space envelopes)
Ehh this HUD looks meh to me, and I believe RSI has hired one of the people that created the HUD for the Iron man movies to do the HUD for Star Citizen. So if he gets anything close to the detail of the HUD in those movies in game, I doubt this games HUD will be even comparable. Just my opinion though.
have you seen all the released ship concept art for elite ?
soulshot96
Did you see the Hornet HUD? It was a complete mess, you could barely see anything outside the ship.
Star Citizen is also insanely overpriced.
S S How? When it comes out it will be the SAME price as any other AAA title and right now you can buy the game for $30. Cheap much?
Usually no one publishes pitches, because they are just technical works, and usually sound too familiar with other material. They just show technical writing skills. This one is exception, and it was explained in KS update :)
tried the practice missions and this game is really hard xD
***** The game is great and is getting better every month. Its frustrating at times but that just makes it more impressive when you get somewhere. Who wants an easy game? But the practice missions are more difficult that the game itself - some of them are impossible to do it seems like the stealth mission unless you forget the stealth. But the game is still being balanced and developed. This will be the space game to play for many a year if it is even half as good as the previous Elite games when released (and its far better than any of them already IMO).
***** Didnt you own any of the earlier games? They were even more difficult. In those games you didnt stand a chance if you were jumped my more than one pirate. If you are having issues with the game what are they?
*****
The game is not for you then.
Hard?
***** You're right. And that's why ED gives the player worthwhile rewards for difficult tasks.
Imagine cap ships can maneuver around when fighting, it'll be like a corvette vs a cutter but 100 times the size
Almost 6 years later.
And still no legs!!
Maybe I'll wait 6 more.
Wow, Mr. Braben looks like he just stepped it up a notch. Looks awesome!!!
Wish this actually happens :P
***** Capital Ships don't fly around the galaxy there deployed to specific operations so you'd be in port most of the time and you wouldn't be in charge of your deployment etc.
***** No the biggest ships you can control are around corvette size aka anaconda etc.
***** well one of the philosophys of elite dangerous is: leave anybody a chance.
i dont see where a fucking capital ship in starter area intercepting freschly spawned sidewinders for: "the shits and giggles" is much of a chance.
sidewinder vs cobra, nimble sidy outturns it and can jump into the next systhem or just engage FSD.
you always have a chance at the moment, not a fighting one but at least a running one, on top of that i dont see how 5* 24missileports and over 20+ highcaliber gunturrets aiming at you whilst you fly out of a station is much of a chance.
Currently it is clear that maximum speed during fights will be 500 m/sec. That ship is 2 km long, so that means speed can be even higher as you see in video.
We need Autocannons in Elite: Dangerous!
yes!
You can actually get Autocannons as an Engineer mod. They're literally auto-loading Cannons.
that is not what an autocannon is. Autocannons are cannons that fire in full auto. The multicannons are different because technically they are revolving cannons. Autocannons have a single barrel.
Ross Hornby Isn't Funny Thanks god, someone that understands me.
i wished jumping in this game would look that smooth and visual stunning like in this video.
I really hate these "star wars vibes". I hope Erasmus will be capable of doing something more authentic and original for the rest of the soundtrack, Elite Dangerous deserves more.
There will be direct sounds (that what can be heard in properly pressurised ship), and there will be sensor synth who will translate into sound what's happening outside the ship. You can lookup more information in last Newsletter #12. They will do detailed announcement soon.
There will be revenge! For the Empire!
AaroS Your manners are outrageous and dirty, just as everything about the Federation!
It's a "Planetary System" they jump into, there is a "Design Discussion Archive" thread and "Newsletter" for how it works, everything in Elite: Dangerous will be seamless, without loading screens or cut-scenes.
Sounds
in
Space
:(
2:08, Avengers theme
With such knowledge of science you should surely work for NASA or something.
Why don't they let players DO A "BARREL ROLL" while they're at it?
Turn off your speakers.
It's simulated sound.
Space is not a total vacuum.
The day I get “saved” by 4 sidewinders is the day I fucking die
Well, i would love to see my NCC-1701-D fighting one of these !
didn't that crash?
megatiger78 Hell nah !
+Jean Luc Picard Wouldn't do too well, I imagine.
When Stuart says finishing touches, there were three things added. The lense flare near the beginning, the focus effect when the camera zooms out at 1:35 and the holographic HUD (which I hear they have working now and it looks even better).
Try hard PVPers when they get bored.
Having just recently discovered OOlite, The idea of a Elite: Dangerous makes me all tingly
Between this and Robert's Star Citizens I think this genre is about to make a comeback. Bigtime.
Hahaha... if only.... even 5 years later this is billy bollox
I love how the ship effects are when you jump to a new system...Very realistic..
Can't wait for this..
Shame that this is almost a complete fantasy and bears no relation to how the game currently is. Groups? lol
Wings are planned for early next year.
Nic0maK
uhuh, was needed for Sandro to communicate what was happening. Glad they are ditching slaved drives as well, as long as they can sort the comms out and get the mechanics right.
lol no kidding terra.. the ships dont even fly like that
Actually, they've gotten surprisingly close! All that's missing are wings and actual capital ship v capital ship battles. Wings are coming next month and capital ships should be fighting each other come release on the 16th. The visuals and flight model actually look better in-game now than they do here. For such an early envisioning of the game, they were pretty spot on. Now the game just needs more actual content.
Phil Tackett its been a lot of space game where they make lot of fancy animations like how the fighters get real close to the capital ship, flying under tight corners, which makes you feel excited but then your in the game in that fucking boring cockpit and its nothing like that, you dont get that sense of speed like this video shows me. Its been always like that with every space game out there, theres no sense of speed
There's no "other videos". This is first proper in-game engine video, which has actually fully developed assets - and even then they still working on them, like cockpit.
How they will be compared to SC we will see when both games will be release fully, t.i. in 2015. You can judge from few videos there and here.
4 years later and there's nothing even close to this gameplay: sidewinder effectiveness, group missions, actual indoor fighting... oh and capital ship combat. Right now you blow up a couple of "heat vents" modules on a capital ship and then they warp out. Nice. No money or missions or any actual gameplay to direct you to a capital ship either. Lol
You will be able to. They've confirmed 25 (I think) flyable / ownable ships. The one in the video is the Sidewinder, your starting ship. There will be considerably larger ones available (freighters, miners, escorts etc.)
I don't think they will allow you to own a capital ship, but they may serve as bases if you're on good terms with the faction owning them (they've hinted at that, don't know if it's confirmed).
Why does the game look nothing like this video? Is this even a trailer for ED?
this was made before the game turned beta yo
Amazing. I already watched it for ....I actually lost count.... Eagerly waiting for the alpha, beta and final game. I just can't wait!!! Just amazing. This clip took me back to the 80's when i used to imagine such scenes as i looked at a wire frame graphics filled screen on my BBC Model B. Give us more of these mouth watering clips!!!... and thank you!!!
Must. resist. urge. to. buy. game.
resist, i wish i did....
Don't listen to HCShuffle... I highly recommend it!
stop resisting
Its nice to see a game that actually looks better than a pre-rendered scene
