New Trailer for ED (for the PS4 launch) - tinfoil hat time! What new things can be found?

Mods, prepare for emergency drop! The enemy has just initiated PlayStation 4 trailer awesomeness. Dropzone is hot! Command anticipates a lot of duplicate threads in the area.
 
Great Trailer, generally loving ED on PC (since original Beta).

Didn't see any caveats of non in game footage or not in current version considering the trailer also said out now on PC and xbox...Just in light of the NMS 'incident' regarding peoples expectations.

Obviously being a long time player I have no expectations left ;)
 
I hope you're right but based on recent time scales I can't see it. The "whole Horizons season" is just a marketing abbreviation for the "whole Horizons season so far" ;)

That is based on recent time scales. 2.2 was 4-5 months after 2.1, so 4-5 months after 2.2 is Feb-March time. 4-5 months after is June area. Sound about right to me, especially after the talk about dropping DX10 which I would expect at the end of season 2, beginning of season 3.
 
Probably been mentioned: 0:08-0:10 - CMDR standing on the bridge of his ship in 3rd person.
Though CMDR Creator is not new .. the standing on the bridge in 3rd person ... brings thoughts of ship walking to mind.

Yeah, after watching the whole thing 3 times and pausing at each scene, this moment of the guy standing in the cockpit leaning on the chair is definitely the most curious.
What was also more curious was the complete lack of thargoids, aliens... anything like that.
I have spent a lot of time thinking that 2.4 would totally be about aliens storming the bubble but now I'm not so sure.

Just a beauty shot made with artistic licence or is it a quick glimpse of what's up their sleeves?

Nah, it said that the PS4 version will launch with the whole horizons update, which will include 2.4. So I can see 2.3 Feb time and 2.4 May/June.

Good times.

I don't think so. I read that rather as "will launch with the whole horizon content released up to that point", whatever that may mean.

Braben's letter to some PS4 magazine in Europe did a lot of talking and promising about multi-crew, a lot. I think it's safe to say we'll see PS4 launch in May/June timeframe, along with 2.3 or 2.4 (I can't remember which promises what).

1: Standing on the bridge was CGI.
2: I wish we'd get ship legs with one of the next 2 major content patches.
 
To me, seeing the pilot look over to the right and there's someone in that second Cobra seat in the cockpit, that's what really put a smile on my face. here's hoping that's a harbinger of what's next, and that we'll have both player and NPC options for copilot...

The co-pilote in that scene doesn't have the rank logo at the shoulder, looks like an NPC. Would be cool if we can see our NPC crew member.
 
I wonder if asteroid bases will be a reactionto aliens blowing normal stations.

Phrasing, dammit, phrasing! :x

Also, wait? Asteroid bases? Wut? *goes to see!*

Yeah I know .. but a guy can dream. :)

Or were we looking for specific in-game footage?
 
Multi coloured Beluga at 0:30... ish

Space dock(we have seen a few of these) civilian things...

Not much else- PS4 for Elite.. naa i`ll stick with my gaming rig...
 
Last time they had people walking in the trailers they put in a disclaimer that it wasn't actual gameplay footage.

There's no disclaimer this time, so I guess we'll be walking around soon.
 
2.3 is my money... that's why they're putting this extra effort into 2.2, becuase the next update will be a while.

Maybe lining 3.0 up for "holidays" 2017. With 2.4 separate and in Summer 2017.

They released 1.5 and 2.0 simultaneously, maybe they'll do the same with 2.4/3.0. My hopes would be gamescom or e3.

This thought has also crossed my mind. But still, they could have just forgotten to put it in.

I would be very surprised and disapointed if 2.3 is released 8-9 months after 2.2 to came out. I can see 2.4 being released at the same time the PS4 version comes out.
