Agreed. When you are talking procedural buildings it won't be the same kind of tailored/bespoke city that GTA V requires. Enough to give a sense of the environment. Theoretically the size of the city would only be restricted by the speed of the graphics card and cpu and their abilities to display it on screen.

Wasn't Ian seen sneaking around the release event last year? It was probably all rumor.
Maybe David & Ian are going to reunite at E3 to announce a single player story based expansion to ED titled "Elite Deadly" written mostly by Ian. Like when the Beatles reunited to make that band guitar hero thing nobody played.
Maybe we'll get planetary landings.
Maybe we'll get to walk around ships.
Maybe it's the Fratellis.
Maybe Chunk found the police.

Well it was acrimonious, to say the least. Hardly surprising.
Edit: Ian Bell is a talented bloke. It would be like Led Zepp reforming. Or something

Well, we know from recent history that they can and will change things, some of which wont always go down well with the fans.
The FPS stuff, I'm not convinced we will ever see any of that, getting closer to planets I think will happen and maybe walking around your ship, but all that talk about hunting on planet surfaces, I would put money on that not happening.
There's a hint of what they're announcing in-game. It's got to do with VR. Check out a post from the 13th on Galnet, I believe. They talk about SIM's and how the Federation want to help "train" people addicted to sim's and get them more active and stuff. Could be VR, could be a mobile app.
I say this given the article specifically states Tuesday, the 16th of this month as being the big reveal.

If No Man's Sky can do it with half a dozen people, there's no reason why Frontier can't.
Surely they have to announce the release date before releasing it?!
Very true. I think there is a lot more going on behind the scenes with ED though. I wish though that FD hadn't put the universe in lots of little boxes.
Sequel incoming:
Elite: The Jeff Ryan Story
Take on the role of intergalactic hero Jeff Ryan as he fights for his Space Khaleesi in the latest single player addition to the Elite family. Unlike previous games this game is a single player RPG broadening the lore of the Elite universe.
Intergalactic Hero Jeff Ryan must battle the forces of Denton Patreus, Senator Torval and the illegitimate aunt of his beloved Princess in this amazing procedurally generated adventure.

With respect to Hello games, we don't know what they can do until they have actually done (released) it.
I would buy that, it sounds a load more fun than PP.
This isnt new is it? They already said they had made Elite for Xbox hadnt they?
I wouldn't totally rule out some sort of new content, given that the Power play was essentially non-graphics based. They might have had time to work on other things.
Will I be able to customise my character as long as he's called Jeff Ryan and he always has a main of silvery hair to ensure the pre-rendered cut scenes still work?
I trust there will be ample opportunity to engage in sexy sex while docked in star ports. You need to have sexy sex now for the kids.
Well Im fairly sure it's possible, whether it's any good or not.....maybe they needed more than 13 people?
Well, there wasn't much on the newsletter, but it seems they were working for the Xbox one beta.
I don't know you'd have to ask Chewbrookie.
Yeah, my guess is either a demo/beta, or a typo on the PEGI site. No way they'd launch the full thing without any advertising, it'd get drowned out during E3.
