The new 'version' of Elite or at the least some parts of the technology that will be used were showing in the background when Braben was talking on the BBC video, so its there , kind of. -
When you're asking for ?1.25m you could at least make a nice promo video. Just a static picture? Eh? Lame.Comment

I think that there was not a clearly visible version say alot about the state of any of the tech.

There is a new video up on kickstarter, which in all fairness doesn't show much more than we already knew, but hopefully it will entice a few more people along for the ride.Comment

He sounds like he's winging it a bit in that video - which I actually quite like!Comment

It's looking like they aren't going to make it.
Hardly a surprise. Pc gamers have forgotten how to pay more than ?4 for a game, let alone ?20.Comment

I think they'll make it. If they don't then it's because his pitch lacks substance. The other Space Sim - Star Citizen - has raised over $7million so the money is out there!Comment

Sadly most of that is US money ... Seem like most people in the US don't know UK kickstarter projects exist (like countries!) ...Originally posted by FSW View Post
I think it will make it ... just about ... In the end .. by 2014 this game will be making money once people realise what its all about.Comment

46k needed and 58 hours to get it. This is as good as funded. Ace.Comment

Wonder what the stretch goals will be?
Scrap that they already announced them.
We recently announced the first stretch goal and that was to release a Mac version of the game within 3 months of the initial Windows launch if the project reached ?1.4 million. Today we're adding a more modest stretch goal, but one all players can benefit from, more playable ships. Early in the project we revealed there would be 15 playable ships in game, if we reach ?1.5 million with the Kickstarter then we'll add another ten playable ships to the game.Comment

i am looking forward to it be interesting to see what they do after such a long period of time since elite 2 frontiers and first encounters i am hoping it retains the feeling of being in open space and of in a universe (a elite style game i have been playing x3 gets most things right apart from the feeling of open space it feels like sectors)Comment

This game is shaping up to be seriously good .. Currently on the Alpha (pretty much Beta now) and we have a few star systems up and running (out of the 400 billion that will be in the game). Was flying around checking things out and though I would swoop down into a gas giants rings to see what it looked like ...
Simply stunning .. Note that in that picture above there is no skydome (pre-rendered background), there is no placeholders of asteroids, even the stars in the background are particles placed there to be physically correct. What you are seeing is all realtime rendered objects in the game, hundreds of thousands of them. Its quite staggering to do it yourself in game, not seen anything like that in a game ever. It took about 5 minutes to peel my jaw off the floor.
Here's a couple more that see the same place but slightly higher out of the ring system ...
This game is shaping up to be something pretty special ...Comment
