PC Gamer interview with David Braben (2004)

[Davidtq]

Another blast from the past for you. Anyone remember this picture? It's the only piece of concept artwork released for Elite 4 and appeared on the Frontier website in 2001.

Since it depicts only a running woman, I'm sure we can assume that Frontier have been thinking about being able to leave your ship and run around outside.

2001? I remember that picture going up and getting excited, was it really that long ago? Ive been watching and waiting for far too long...

Yeah time flies painfully fast in some perspectives and not nearly fast enough in others.

Steve, Never a truer word spoken....

There six pics on the C&VG site http://www.computerandvideogames.com/game.php?id=1926 Does anyone know if these are from the 2000 version of Elite 4?,or are they just mock up of what the game might look like?.Or are they from an entirely different game?.

They don't look like Elite or Frontier. They look like pure, distilled suck.

I have never seen them before.

Probably C&VG fakery,apart from the one pic posted by Kryten were there any other official shots from the game?.

 

[Stefan Mars]

No, I think that is the only one that was ever released.

It's Infestation, a completly different game. And quite a few years old I might add.
