So, let's begin from alpha onwards to now beta 3.05. We have had some ups and downs in this joyride in the games development. Tempers have risen, demands have been made, and FD are still like an Asp with a cloaking device as they tantalizingly and casually announce their release date of this epic and classic game that has once again, ground breaking firsts.
So, a quick summary is in order for the doubters, nay sayers and general grinches of FD's latest creation.
We still have not been given any pre-release version, yet. Though, we already have the first expansion pack: Mercenary edition, full of content and a new ship to play with on release. More to come with the pre-release and more and more fixes both for multiplayer and stability, as well as tweaks, ships and other lovely jubly stuffs. I've seen comments that this game lacks "soul". I like to think that I as a Cmdr in the game give it just that. I give it life, I give it action and reaction. Together we bring it to life. Yes, there's a lot of back ground things that need added and other things that do need to make sense. I have no doubt in my mind or heart that they will arrive en-mass. The future is set with further content and planetary landings. To walk around our ship and stations.
The key aspects of Elite Dangerous:
There is no other space game on this planet that has 400 billions stars of our very own galaxy, the milky way.
There is no other game on this planet that has blistering space combat with amazing sound and graphics with occulus rift support.
We have a space trading simulator and politics we can influence and take part in, we have warzones and other factions.
We have varying ships with all their own characteristics and ways of playing them and fitting them.
We have freedom in an open ended game to play it as we please, to create and role play our own characters and personality should we wish to do so.
We can be a bounty hunter, pirate, trader, courier or war veteran. We have ranks, alliances friends and foes.
We have exploration of strange worlds where we can refuel our ship from the stars and explore all the planets and stars. We can even sell this data for a tidy sum.
And this is still beta, close to pre-release on the 22nd Nov 2014. There is no other game currently in existance this close to release that can match what we have right now, on this planet.
Few can re-live their teenage years with nostalgia. You've even gave many of us this. -Thankyou.
All I can positively and honestly say is: Frontier Developments - you have nailed it, hook line and sinker.
Shoklar.
