News Another sneak peek at Horizons progress (SRV driving)
- Thread starter David Braben
- Start date
Brilliant. just brilliant. That sense of movement, the frenetic pace... The more time goes on the happier I am I backed this at Beta.
Oh ! David ! After the mini video of the planet and the livestream, the mini video on the SRV and soon the livestream on this subject. Thanks Mr. Braben ! Great end of the year 2015 !

It does look quite fun, and this is one "way to play" with these because of how gravity will change on each planet. How cool is that!!
Thank you Mr Braben!
Thank you Mr Braben!
Horizons will be a great vintage. Will remain in the annals later, no doubt
The way things are shaping up in five years time it will be the biggest game in history.
Still seeing dust billowing as if there is a thick atmosphere. It was in the trailer as well but I assumed it was just cinematics. Is this an airless world? If so wouldn't realism look better? Airless parabolic dust looked cool in the Apollo videos and we will get billowing clouds in any case when atmospheric worlds are ready.
Anyway thanks for the share and peek the whole Horizons thing looks amazing.

A cult game like Elite Series
Looks great, does give me a little motion sickness though.
Looks like its gonna be a real fun thing, except my attempts will probably be more like....

This simply looks amazing!
I'm so glad I bought the lifetime expansion pass!

This i think it's fantastic.
and i must say it: i never seen a thing like that.. never.
The details, the scenery... everything is amazing. And it's fully procedurally generated.
This is what Elite must be, and now i know it is possible.
Great !

Remember dust drops very slowly on a low gravity world, -(smaller than our moon)...
That's a beautiful screenshot they've put up. Really pretty stuff.
A rocky world somewhere between the size of Mars and Earth (that this clip was taken from) would have a gravity of maybe 50% of Earth (given Mars' 38%). Compare how long the dust lingers in the video with the videos of the Apollo buggy, where it disappears very quickly in just 17% gravity.
Still, it's a WIP, so hopefully it's something they'll sort out before it's released.
(Having said that, I think the Andromeda Galaxy is still at 90 degrees to its proper orientation...)
