Didn't want to start a new thread, so put this here...

Elite made #8 on Eurogamer Readers' most anticipated games of 2014.

Thanks Slawkenbergius, +1

I'll remane the thread to reflect Media coverage of ED.

Apart from Elite: Dangerous, I am not looking forward to any of those.

This is great, finally seeing the established gaming websites featuring Elite: Dangerous!

Bring it on Commander!

I voted for Elite and Dark Souls 2, as they're the only ones I'm actively looking forward to. The rest, I'll just wait for some reviews.

I would say that is personal taste however. In my view there is no doubting the quality of the titles in that list. (Even though I am not interested in some of them, and sadly unable to play others (ohh Destiny why art tho not coming to PC )

Titanfall I lost interest in when I found out it is just a vs arena game. At 1st I thought it was a co-op story based game and I was really excited about it..... then I found out what it was, and sadly it isnt really my bag. BF4 will do for my vs "face shooter" game.

Watchdogs kind of looks like the game FD were working on a while back which was canned.

remane? Is that like shaving a male lion's mane off then giving him a hair transplant?

on topic ... to be honest, ED is the only game in either of the above lists I am interested in.

Massively have got a whole sub section for Elite Dangerous. They rate it as the underdog in the space sim mmo market but have placed it at number 9.

Everything posted on the forum is personal taste and a personal opinion. There is no need to state that.

If you doubt the "everything" part of that statement, have a look at some of the Astronomical or Newtonian arguments.

Ed is cited frequently in all magazines and papers! Or am I missing something...

Telegraph interview with David about ED

Some bits sounds interesting, overall well informative article.

Thanks for the link

Enjoyable reading, but "on general release by the end of the year"?

I also like his take on software piracy. There is no squashing the man's optimism.

 

[Majere]

Elite: Dangerous is currently in alpha testing and will be out on general release by the end of the year

Ninja'd by OSS.

Cat, meet pigeons.

 

[Darren Grey]

Also interesting to note the "so many options" line. Could he be hinting at different platforms, exclusivity deals even? Or where to go with the game expansions? How to expand Frontier itself to make different games? Ah, so much one can infer from one line...

Yeah I wasn't having a go or anything, no offence meant I was just saying I reckon the overall quality of that list looks promising even if subjectively I am not interested in a few of them either.

The "on general release by the end of the year" was not a DB quote (if I read the article right).
