News Another sneak peek at Horizons progress (Base Raid)

[David Braben]

Here is this week’s quick-and-dirty unedited video capture from the Planetary Landings update for Horizons (using the same dev machines as before) as we begin a raid on a surface base, using two SRVs and a ship. Still quite a few elements need work which I won’t list here, but you can see there's been good progress since last week:

OH DEAR GOD!!!!

David you are the man.

That looks way too much fun for a Friday morning.

I'll stick the thread if that's ok with you.

I know combat distances like that only from tank simulators... speed and using landscape features will be indeed crucial... and it looks incredible. Thank you for the Teaser

 

[bitstorm]

Good lord!

That's tremendous, love that you guys seem to be just as excited about it all as we are.

Hoping this pattern continues, just some piece of "simple" dev footage on a Friday.

Fell of the sofa! Really impressive.

Can't wait, now going through the vid frame by frame like the enormous nerd i am, while my wife slowly shakes her head.

A little decorum please, one does not simply call an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, 'mate'.

 

[LKx]

OMG! I love these friday's quick&dirt sneak peeks, thanks again Mr Braben!

 

[Bomba Luigi]

Aw, such awesome stuff. Damn you, waiting for Horizon is getting harder with every one of those Vds!

 

[Philip Coutts]

Oh my. That was rather nice and the ship flying over about 10 seconds in was excellent.
