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 ;)

Even with the wink it's not obvious that's a joke. The DDF produced the DDA. PP, Time XBox Exclusives and Planet Coaster have nothing to do with us.

Give him a break!

There are very few people who are comfortable public speaking and I bet many of the critics here have never had to experience that in a large audience. Technical issues, jet lag, what ever the reason .. no need to make a point of it.

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.

Yeah, that's exactly how I saw it (and also how I would have tried to recover if in a similar situation ;) )

Christ Almighty, just saw it. From the way people were reacting here I was expecting much much worse. Small hiccup, nothing bad at all. I talk to groups of varying sizes ALL the time. I'm pretty good at it. I revel in a crowd and at this point I have years of experience. And I can still have the occasional little moment like that.

But yeah, humour is the key to recovery.

It was a hiccup, and yes he did say more to come for Elite. We'll just have to be patient, its not going into maint. mode, that's silly although of course I wanted news too. CQC is coming to PC holiday 2015, end of the year most likely, so 1.4 will probably be something different.

NMS makes my eyes bleed, really don't like its art style, but hey more space games the better and its bound to be popular.

Pre-ordered Coaster Tycoon, some of the comments in chat were funny when they called it Hipster Tycoon (based on the character no doubt).

I'm sure he wishes he could have done it again, but he doesn't need your judgemental critique.

Well obviously I wasn't offering it to him directly. We've all messed up and I can sympathise with that. I'm just venting my disatisfaction with the presentation.

The internet is full of vultures circling overhead waiting for any sign of weakness.

Annomity and the impersonal nature or indirect comms can bring out the worst in people.

I'd take David's awkward stutter to Cliff ”PC gaming flipflop” Bleszinski's overconfident bull anyday.

Truth about the vultures. People are reading all kinds of made up crap into a simple flub.

It's not like he Michael Bay'd it. Remember that disaster?

You know it's highly likely that they have more than 1 development team. You know, one for PC, one for MAC and one for XBOX. All working together to create the vision that DB has for this game.

Since the engine (Cobra) is multiplatform, it is much more likely that they have an engine team, an E: D team (plus a coaster team or two) and small team to do the stuff around the edges for each platform. They will be writing the game once, not three times.

It would be good if DBOBE would tell us what his vision for the game is now, since it does not appear to be the one he talked about in the kickstarter, nor the one his folks documented in the DDA.

Sad to say but by the way he introduced Planet Coaster That WAS the big surprise announcement.

But, just like anyone who was half awake already knew there would be an Xbox exclusive (but not what it was), we already knew they were going to build this game. No surprise.

Actually, FD produced the DDA (which is why it is so worrying that they seem to be ignoring it and building something else). All the DDF did was talk about it. Trouble with forums is that there are different audiences. The regulars all knew, even without the wink, that his tongue was in his cheek. And, as you say, even with the wink, some may not have got it.

Just watched the video

From all the other videos i have watched so far, devspeaks, interviews etc, David seems to be a very passionate person, he is proud of elite, wants to share his excitement with the audience...
so this looks like he simply forgot his text, couldnt sort the script in his head again - stagefright - that happens to all of us sometimes.
I guess all of what happened after that was improvised.
Even the moderator was confused, i think it was expected that he talks about elite and he wanted to roll that trailer out at the end, instead of just showing the trailer and leaving.

i think he wanted to talk more about elite, tell us about the upcoming things, but couldnt get it back together. so he stopped, panicked a little inside (look at his hands), and rolled out the Coaster World trailer to soon instead.
His whole speech was just from 2h31m29s to 2h32m33s - so just a little over one minute.

But seriously? no big deal.
He had a case of stagefright, now what?
Lets wait for this weeks newsletter or dev update, maybe we read something in there instead.

The only thing that bothers me has nothing to do with Davids speech there.
Its more about all these idiots who attack him now, laugh about it, insult him...seriously?
All that because the Xbox version gets a beta sooner than the PC?
Thats just childish behaviour, i thought most of us here are adults 25-30+ or so, and not just 16 year old ragekiddies?
Seriously, do you think FD will work as passionate on Elite when they realize that all they get are insults, flames and other nasty things? Would YOU do it?

Thread is going deeply offtopic, but hey, why not...

Planet Coaster trailer is very fun, loved it. This is how you do reveals. It will hit with market audience (RTC3 which is still played to death and popular as meth) and will bring second source of revenue from product. So anyone with more than passing interest for ED should understand this as positive development.

As for lacking ED news, yes, it's a bummer, and I fully expected that. Even first David's post on community site clearly stated that there's no news for now for us atm.

They might drop some news next week or at very end of E3, or trough media. Hopefully I am wrong and there's more than XBO port (which by feedback and what I have seen is very solid already) and CQC for ED during this E3.
