News Sneak peek

[StefanOS]

Probably to advertise Cobra to prospective licensees.

I agree, this would make sense!

 

[withnail]

That looks really great! Best reason to upgrade a GPU ever

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

It's clearly in-progress without AA, however still looks very very promising.

1. So far I really like ship designs - and they do look great in these screenshots without even AA turned on. They look Star Warish and heck, even better of some Star Wars ships I have seen out there;
2. There's pilot in ship, awesome;
3. Check this ship's backside http://elite.frontier.co.uk/images/screens_2013_07_12/Elite_02.jpg
If all ship textures and look/feel will be like this, ED will win people over "shiny" ship games. This feels real. Amazing;
4. Is that explosion also in-game engine?

Keep up this amazing work guys!

Wow talk about atmospheric and engaging. As to in game I had to look twice, this really matches the look and feel of Josh's art we've seen as well. Loving all the lighting, the weather beaten look of the ships and the whole way it looks so big.

Thanks Michael, esp with Ashley away this is a very pleasant and welcome surprise.

amazing...

I can't stay longer in the skin... this game will kill all the rest around.

Hey Michael....

"Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my email,
send me a teaser, maybe?"

Be careful what you wish for!

My tablet's screen is a bit dark, but those pics still look pretty amazing. Can't wait to get home and see them on a proper screen.

 

[Nostromo]

Wow. Now theese pics totally took my mind of the Steam summer sale. Well done :-D

 

[Kerrash]

Yeah, what you said; drool and all.

I hope we get the option to have some proper working Anti Aliasing for powerful GPU's as those screens have some serious jaggies.

AA hasn't been enabled yet, it's one of the many improvements to come.

Anti-Alias Schmanti-Alias. I need Frame Rate!!!!

 

[Geraldine]

My thoughts

Sneak Peek? :S What's this then?

 

[G.T]

Very impressive, fantastic level of detail. Just be seamless in multiplayer gameplay and I think it will be err... out of this world.

 

[psykokow]

Hurrah you all stopped posting long enough for me to read them all and get to reply.

LOVE PIXEL ****!!!!!! Awesome shots love em!! Realllllly desperate to get in to this now!!!

Anti-Alias Schmanti-Alias. I need Frame Rate!!!!

Exactly - looks good enough to me too, just give me smooth frames (admittedly I thought ZX Spectrum Elite graphics were astounding at the time )

4. Is that explosion also in-game engine?

It's in game and a big shout out to our fantastic FX team. Look for more on FX in Selena's upcoming Meet the Team feature.

 

[psykokow]

Not keen on some of the details on those ships though... WERE YOU FLYING this one Michael??

 

[withnail]

What are the yellow sparks in the first picture?

 

[Commander Haggis]

Utterly bloody loverly. I can totally imagine the thrill of the chase round that structure.

I'm going to say that I think the turret flame looks a bit odd on the last shot, but am simply in awe of everything else....

keep up the amazing job, and I look forward to 'something cool' that you're working on in the background!

 

[govny]

great screen, but please don't use Depth of Field.
I think DOF is not a good option in a space simulator.
To see the stars and the planet out of focus looks terrible.
