Heh, for the moment, my gameplay schedule is fully booked. For FPS i'm playing Fortnite at the moment. Erm... actually, that's third person, but whatever, its my current pew-pew game.
How long will Elite Dangerous rule the world of space games?
- Thread starter PWAKAY
- Start date

it never did
Which game, in your opinion, does?
I quit Eve a long time ago. So expensive! So boring! Lol
I think ED will stay top for a while longer yet, and even if it gets knocked down a peg or two, it'll be in the top 5 space games forever.
Simply for lack of good space games to push it lower.
X4 does look good. And some SC gameplay videos are looking quite nice too.
I still want an I-War reboot.

If it has a new engine, new animator and is in VR it'll probably be my new obsession, they've been dragging me back since Daggerfall but their engine / animatics is so clunky now (even tho' I'm <re>playing the crap out of SkyrimVR), I'm not sure... Ahh, who am I kidding, I'll get sucked right back in, they know story, they know gameplay, they know how to reward the player, they know how to hide the grind so it's fun...
3 - just deleted it off my SSD, will wait for Drop .4 and the rumoured paid DLC (I doubt either will be in Q4), to see if it's worth reinstalling; rather doubt it will be unless they bring in an actual game designer.
Yes, I-War. It just hit the sweet spot with the flight model and combat.
Until then, maybe X4 if they build on the strength of the franchise.

Who cares? Enjoy what you want from them all.
"Rule" is a strong word, and I dislike this idea that games are thrown in some strange death match. Yes, sometimes games released in same time will fight over community and one will lose, but I doubt when newscomer will come, it will do same things and will be liked by same people in this case.
Also said that to roll out such game is extremely complex and not only takes lot of money, but lot of know how. Despite what your boss might say, not everyone is replaceable.
So rule? No. Everspace, X games, even EvE is still going strong. Each game has it's own community and there's lot of people playing some of them in same time.
If you mean some MMO like, then I don't see it happening any time soon. SC is a bust, and any other newcomer will have to prove it is way better than ED at release to gain any traction.
Also this.
It is their Mass Effect. So yes, different game.

X4 but will need a year of patching.
Star Field Bethesda will do Elite I think.

If ED is still here in 15 years then you can say it's taken Eve's grown. This for me at least ED does not rule anything maybe it has a slice of something but other games are coming that's going to eat away at that slice and FD dont seem to be doing themselves any favours of late to hold on to it.

X3:Terran Conflict. I have my doubts about the future things to see in ED. And as that roadblock and power creep problem of engineers are to persist I also doubt I'm willing to explore further down the rabbit hole.
X is trade empire game. ED is space commander game.
Completely different game
Also there's a kicker. It is not that profitable to begin with, despite what people might say.
SC? People forget it is money SC has collected via pre-sales of digital assets over 4 years. For regular game it wouldn't be enough to keep solid sized studio open to support game fans hope SC could be.
Completely different game
That might be, but im sure starfield wil pull quite some players from ED or any other space game. Especially when its gonna be a fallout in space kinda thing..
Yup exactly.
I know that there are different types of space games now: MMOs, survival, management, building and destroying, trading and scavenging, exploration and discovery, first person, strategy etc. Space games are coming to do wonders
But the most prominent characteristics include:
They are normally sandboxes
They involve massive multiplayers
They are mainly PC games
Their navigations are usually in first person.
The upcoming games now are trying to suit and please every player. ED does not have to be like 'transformers' to suit everyone to stay on top. Indeed FDev can ruin itself trying to do so.

Probably till about 2027 when star citizen finishes development.
