billions of star systems with 2 biomes to discover on planets (rock and ice) 👍

The variety and interest of locations in ED I am afraid is several orders of magnitude better and larger than in Star Citizen. And that is just a tiny fraction of what you can get in a simulated entire galaxy with billions of star systems. This is hand placed assets working in tandem with procedural generation based on actual astronomic data and astrophysics principles done well. Probably among best in class. How ridiculous can you get @LittleAnt ?

I mean, how desperate your statements about SC must be and how bad your need to misrepresent is, if you are willing to be this much wrong about the variety of locations in Elite?

...with twin sunsets, and triple sunsets, and orbiting moons, and different atmosphere compositions, and near unlimited gravity levels, and many ring formations, and blackholes, and neutron stars, and all classes of star types, and nebulae, and aliens to fight, and massive space storms, and mysterious phenomena, and ancient alien archaeology, and fully-voiced lore-filled megaships, and asteroids that go BOOM, all in glorious VR...

Chris says that's coming soon ;)

FUDster, does ED have pseudo-buildings, rivers that look like misplaced assets rejected from the first Crysis and magic trains that fly diagonally along non-existing rails? How about THAT for biomes?

I must admit I am dissapointed I haven't instantly died running up or down stairs so far in ED, indeed there's lots SC does that ED doesn't, the issue is they are trying to stop it doing those things.....
 
Time for a trip down memory lane.

Some fun comments. Especially like the people debating whether a 2017 beta is a reasonable expectation.

The codebase is solid, with lots of power and flexibility.

🤣 🤣 🤣

The days of waiting half a year between updates are behind us.

Also found this comment in another thread from 4 years ago:

To give him credit, he's still active on the SC sub, still waiting, seemingly still happy.
 
And after admiring the stars of the system, you wonder if the first planet you'll land will be rock or ice 😆
Well even Earth is a "rock planet", as there are basically three (four) types of planets. Gas giants, rock planets, ice planets, (these are all found in our solar system), and hypothetically water worlds, ie. planets covered by global ocean. One cannot land on gas giants, as there is no "surface".

Something missing from this list, just can't quite put my finger on it...


Note: don't take it too seriously, its also missing the X games as well as some other classics.
It’s a perfectly good list. My ever best gaming experience, Alien Isolation (I played in VR), is in there 😋 But there are indeed way too many good space games. Another of my favorites, Free Space, is not in the list etc 🤷‍♂️

The common denominator in many of these top space game rankings is that of course Star Citizen is no where to be seen. Which is just right given how incomplete, crappy and broken it is.

So glad to see Outer Wilds and Hardspace Shipbreaker in this list. I hardly see why Destiny is here as it's not very spacey, I would have put Arkane's Prey instead, I would have added Freelancer (Everspace 2 shaping up to be a serious contender as a spiritual successor). I wish the late Hellion could have made to this list.

SQ54? Maybe 15 years from now it will be mentioned as "most promising early access to release soon"...
