So, what are the exciting E3 announcements?
- Thread starter kiario
- Start date
I'd say jetlag is more probable.
Does it have another 300 quid DDF?
i hope not. Apparently those DDF people used their God like powers to create PP. Timed Xbox exclusives and Planet Coaster. I sure as hell hope they don't get another DDF
Well we're only half way through 2015 and there's still no official release date for Star Marine. They've also got $83m of people's money, so they have to give updates.

Yeah, that wasn't stage fright...that was regret ;D
Relax chaps, it was a demo for his other application... if you care to realise that this is a "Frontier" forum... if you go here;

You will find that this is the game he demo'd... The video is self-explanatory.. another roller coaster simulator, but with more beef.

Actually I wonder if somebody was talking into his ear. He did have one of those headphone thingies in. Maybe a demo was supposed to be shown that wasn't working at the critical moment?? Empty speculation, but it makes me feel a little better

I'm ashamed to say I've watched it multiple times and I think I'm pretty close to the mark. The more I watch it I can't help laughing. (I'm not a bad person but something just tickles me about it)
Lee Hutchinson from Ars Technica has spoken to Frontier at E3 and has a piece coming out in the morning (US time I guess).
No idea of any revelations but he told me on Twitter he has a long list of questions to ask. So hopefully a little bit of news?

I've decided to edit this post because I feel it was originally written in a very unsympathetic tone and not constructive to the discussion, which is not really how I like to contribute. I'd like to appologise for that over-reaction to everyone here on the forums and at FDev.
I completely understood the need to advertise the new game, and did not mind that at all. I was just very disappointed that the new updates (Powerplay, XBox GPP and CQC) were not communicated to the audience to help promote Elite at such a key event.
I simply feel if he had come over and sat down, and let the host cue questions at him like for every other guest, it would have been more relaxing and more time could have been spent discussion the products, like all the other guests had done.
I've seen plenty of other sit-down interviews where David has been perfectly articulate and his enthusiasm for his products has shone through. Once again, I appologise for the over-critical tone previously.

Felt sorry for him, looked like his thoughts ran away from him for a moment and then he remembered he had a script. Happens to all of us who public speak. I did something similiar in front of 200 delegates at an InfoSec show a few years ago. Got up, started talking and then thought "What the hell am I saying... I'm supposed to be talking about <this other thing>"
Humour usually works, I just said "Can you play that sting again? I want to come on all composed and cool-like."
I don't think it was anything sinister, DB isn't a natural on stage though.
Cheers,
Drew.

LoL yeah that was really "odd", I wonder what he was listening to when he got tongue tied..... the guy behind the desk, "a very different tone from Elite Dangerous, looks lovely"..lol

Yes. I only just saw it and I just have no idea what to make of that shambles.
There wasn't anything wrong with the headset or any other technical problem. Every other guest came, shook hands and sat down on the sofa and chatterd with the host.
David comes in, waddles around at the side making no eye-contact with anyone and then forgets what he's supposed to say. So the host has to jump in, and then we see this trailer for this new game.
Whole thing was an embarrassment. I mean really.
a) Talk about Powerplay a little, show some footage.
b) Then move onto the Xbox One launch and CQC. Show a clip from the trailer.
c) Announce the new game and show the trailer.
I feel sorry for the staff that have flown out to run the booth having to endure that.
I'm sure he wishes he could have done it again, but he doesn't need your judgemental critique.
