when we should expect an official announcement about season 3 ?
- Thread starter Sterlino
- Start date
My feeling is that season 2 was delayed to allow Frontier time to create "season 3" as a fully fledged expansion.
This fully fledged updated (season 3) will be released around September-December.
That's what I reckon anyway.
Either that or they wanted to release it parallel with PS port so they can cover whole gamimg market and make big fuss when releasing new season.
Looking at it from bisiness perspective.
But God knows i hope that you're right and i'm wrong!
According to Brett soon we'll know what is beyond 2.4.
There has been specific reference to "PS4 will release at the 2.3 level"
Unless they release a few days before 2.4 (inadvisable) I'd expect PS4 to be sandwiched in the middle between 2.3 and 2.4

Yes indeed. One of the things which immediately struck me about ED, as well as how reminiscent of the original Elite it was, was how similar the power management was to TIE Fighter and X-Wing.
I would love a modern iteration of TIE Fighter especially, and FD would be my pick to produce it based on what they have done with ED. I hope you're right, as it would be a definite day one purchase for me too.
It’s not Star Wars, Electronic Arts has the rights to all Star Wars video games currently. Though I do admit Frontier could leverage their Cobra engine from Elite to make a pretty sweet modern X-Wing or Tie Fighter incarnation, but it’s not happening.
I’m betting it’s a Jurassic Park game. Like a Planet Coaster type theme park game, but instead of amusement park attractions you build dinosaur attractions. Maybe throw in some survival mechanics, like you need to build farms too in order to feed your dinos. Plus a military aspect, you need security to keep the tourists safe and handle dino escapes! Something like that would be right up Frontier’s alley.
Apart from major patches every 3-4 months and Planet Coaster, no nothing at all.

Kind of funny that the award is for updates to the game released in 2016, not stuff that is announced.
Perhaps they will stun us all and give us a Farscape game that is leaps and bounds above the old one.
Of course we could also see Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, or even Buck Rogers.. but who knows. Well, they and whichever studio they signed the rights with know, and neither of them are talking.

3.0 MAKE ELITE GREAT AGAIN!
Think we'll know when Frontier knows the date. It'll be just after they find out what to put in it themselves. My guess is that season 3 will be a couple of nerfs, a few buffs, and a re-balancing of weapons, shields, scb's and more shielded scanners, you know, just in case. And some long hair. Maybe.
But I could be wrong.

Freezes over.
Freezes over.
I found only reason for new engine is atmospheric FM, legs or loading screen improvements and procedural generation demand for atmo planets.
So if they are going for new engine(or rewriting existing one) that means we should expect something big in 3.x.
Now Brett said very little and nothing! At least he could say when those news will come without revealing any other info.
I saw that fronier answered in this thread so i rushed to read it, and found out only that his dinner is done [blah]

Can we smell what the Brett is cooking?
''the cake is a lie''
I am not sure if you understand what the term 'engine' means. ED will not get a new one for S3.
Um, I don't think the Cobra engine is doing anywhere, it's here to stay.

It has Great and Wonderful Things... and could release before 2018... maybe...
I think i do, however i don't know what current engine is capable and could it support fps for instance.
I don't believe they will switch to new engine in season3, never seen any dev did that in the middle of game developmrent, it is easier to make new game. I was just replying to previous comment.
