News Announcement: Elite: Dangerous coming to Xbox One
- Thread starter David Braben
- Start date
Cortana?
I wonder if they'll be able to change the HUD colour in Options while we fiddle with the config file 
And the Xbox has a keyboard already. This is not a showstopper.

Sorry I think it's a bad idea also as development will be bound by the limitations of a console, lowest common denominator will rule. Now like many here I also am a console owner, I'm not bashing them, but the expectations of the mass of their user base and the technical limitations (particularly the controller) will be detrimental to the future of ED as I see it, though not to FDs piggy bank I know.
This kind of optimism is catchy.I wonder if they'll be able to change the HUD colour in Options while we fiddle with the config file

<shrugs>Looks like the game will not become worse than it is now (pretty nice already IMHO), so I'm good.
Doesn't many of us play Elite Dangerous with a controller already? At least I do, with a Xbox 360 controller.
Not gonna lie, I'd prefer FDEV would put more effort into expanding the core gameplay before expanding to other platforms.
As far as I have bits and pieces about FD development, they have their own internal engine team doing this plus QA of course. So work goes in parallel. Release is already this summer, so they have already done majority of work it seems.
Yes, it is safe to assume the scope of the next expansion will be limited by the console's hardware restrictions. What a shame

Why would you think that? It seems have engine capable to work on PC and console, while not compromising quality of first one.
Diablo 3 was first Pc only, than they made a console version and the pc playerbase was angry because the console version was a lot better and all people that bought the pc version were only beta tester for the major release of the console version players claimed. it takes Blizzard now 1 year to release a patch for D3 on PC, what you think will happen to the patch interval of ED when the Console Version comes out. The playerbase of D3 on Pc is nearly dead. lets see!

It's the thing I most hate about gaming forums. Discussions end up like being on Question Time with Nigel Farage.
More like Question Time with a cage of hungry chimpanzees.
In my serious opinion, this [players on any platform playing together] should be considered a baseline requirement. If it isn't "viable", M$ should have no deal.

They already do...
Just looked outside the sky has not fallen in... Unsurprisingly there seem to be a thousand and one conflicting opinions and very little critical thinking.
There will be no more swarms of pirates than there are already the P2P nature is what governs the amount of players in an instance...
I believe the thinking behind the limitations on group size in Wings is more to stop a overwhelming number of players grouped together totally dominating an instance...
Some console players will love ED some will hate it... However Microsoft have yet to have a killer game for their console so one might assume that Microsoft needs Elite more than Elite needs the Xboxone, that is was said from the get go that FD was intended to be release on other formats so that is not news.
As it stands at the moment the hardware performance requirements "min Spec" is outclassed by the Xbox One...
DX12 is coming to PC, some people will not be able to run it though on there systems without upgrading to windows 10 if the buzz is correct, so in many ways it is likely that the real worry... ED will not take advantage of DX12...
So all in all OMGZZZZZZZZZZZZ the sky its still up there...
Edited to add the gamespace ie the galaxy could take every gameplayer on planet earth and still you might not meet another play dependant on your location...

- Direct X 11
- Quad Core CPU ( 4 x 2Ghz is a reasonable minimum)
- 4 GB System RAM (more is always better)
- DX 10 hardware GPU with 1GB video ram
Nvidia GTX 260
ATI 4870HD - The game client works in conjunction with server-based code to deliver its functionality / experience, and therefore requires a continuous internet connection.
