ED XBO Beta available to XBox One Preview today

This CQC thing is certainly a way to draw in the console crowd.
They play games like COD, GoW, Halo... all those twitch based shooters... they are known well for consoles, and a lot of players specifically have consoles for that sort of gameplay.
It's a real shame Frontier are capitulating, and are changing the core aspects of the game to suit the need for console players.
I suppose one benefit is, more console players, more sales, more development.
But it's really sad that they have to go down this route.

Just referring to the bit I bolded, sorry - achievements. If they are in the PC and I can't turn them off then I will be very unhappy.

In the interest of sanity, I think it's prudent to give a timeframe here. Because if we're talking about a few weeks time, then any aggravation is easily quenched. If it's a few months, then perhaps you should rethink that timeframe

The new controller does look rather nice.

Psst. I'll let you into a secret. They'll do whatever they have to to make the most money. Don't tell anyone.
Everything about that conference was nice except for FD putting Xbox users first.
I just want tactical paint skins for my Anaconda...
Frontier is a business and therefore I can fully understand this move.
However, like with virtually all businesses I find very little to admire here from an artistic viewpoint ... this is not in any way 'cool'.
Consoles are the spawn of the devil, the tabloid newspaper of gaming, the Big Mac of bits ...
Just sayin y'all.

Fair play, FD know how to take the mick. They allow us to fund development, and then get in to bed with MS and give Xbox users first taste of the latest content, whilst we get crappy Space Risk: Mostly Harmless. Stings a bit, really it does.
I think FD need some lessons from CDPR on how you should treat paying customers.

It's probably just a cheap marketing trick to try and get more XBox people to buy into it. Also to encourage PC players to buy the XBox version - people thinking they'll get a leg up for when it hits PC.
Looks crap anyway, I'll play Eve Valkyrie for this - a game designed from the ground up around VR and frag festing. Like the Risk addon, sorry "Powerplay", I'll just ignore it within the ED universe.
Actually, the Xbox gamers are going to beta test CQC for us now.
No it doesn't.
