Elite Dangerous in the Media thread v 2.0

[Jenner]

This is a continuation of the Elite Dangerous in the Media thread. The old thread has been around for a long time and is pretty large, so this new one will be assuming the same duties.

Feel free to use this thread to post any and all links to external media articles and press coverage of Elite Dangerous.

Reviews on the playability of powerplay will come probably later

Please keep your links to actual media/press articles.

Linking (with all due respect to the Youtubers) random You tube videos will just clutter this thread up so that it no longer serves it's purpose of providing an overview of how the professional press reports Elite Dangerous.

That's fast, didn't expect that. That means we will get dlc content like cockpits sooner though.

Unlikely. Could it be that PEGI just use the date that the rating was given? Not sure how it has worked for previous titles pre-release. "ED on the Xbox One" event is not until Wednesday evening LA time.

Was only meant as a joke, sorry if it didn't come across as such.

I've added it to my "third party tools" thread and to ED3PTT (see OP my thread).

This is indeed strange considering some of the themes already present within the game. And many of the things outlined way back were already way beyond such a low rating. They even had concept art of severed limbs floating in zero G, and I am very much still looking forward to zero G fluid physics in the eventual FPS(ish) gameplay.

The reason for the oh so sudden release date for the xbone is it is one of the first bunch of games on xbone early access.
