He was lucky to get the Alpha 3 to work so well, but he gives a really good idea of where the game is heading. ED Should have won some welcome interest from his subscriber base.

I agree! Loving the build up to hyperspace. Frontier have not let me down with anything visually so far, so I really can't wait to see supercruise and hyperspace. Hopefully Alpha 3.0 won't be a six week long one :S

His forgetting to raise the landing gear after launch does suggest that there needs to be some cockpit indicator lights for them. I'd suggest off for raised, green for lowered & locked, and red while they're cycling up or down; that's pretty much what is used for aircraft in the real world.

I have a question for the developers: is this real? I mean... can it really be that good? W- why?

Oh my god. It is too good. Something's wrong. I am not used to this level of quality. Hold me!

Don't worry, you'll wake up in a few minutes and it will all have been a dream. :eek:;)

I do like Mr. Manley's video's, his enthusiasm is infectious, which is exactly what's needed after a couple of hours staring at a spinning cob-winder. ;)

Agreed. If they showed up on the spinning 3d model of the ship, that would make the most sense.

I agree with Scott. The audio in Elite is sounding amazing from what little I can hear in the videos. However I've not heard any technical information on the audio and without being able to play the game it's hard to tell. With Titanfall shipping with 37GB of uncompressed PCM audio on PC one can only wonder what's in store for Elite.

I mean really with a sound system as detailed as Elite it would be even better to hear them at their highest quality but 37GB damn. I really love everything I'm hearing in Elite. From the ship itself to the weapons and HUD display etc etc.

+1 Yep sound design really is awesome, Elite is shaping up to be it's own game to be sure. Can't wait till I can upgrade to Premium Beta :cool::cool:

I said this back in February about hyperspace:

I hope hyperspace is something iconic, memorable, feels dangerous (at least when your chances of a successful jump are low) and never gets boring, but that is a big ask :)

and I feel that is exactly what has been delivered sound-wise. I'm honestly way more happy about this one little thing than perhaps anyone should be, but it feels like the game that I would design for me :).

I'm absolutely loving all these Alpha 3 vids. Its the next best thing to playing it myself. I can barely contain my excitement :)

I seriously believe this game will be the biggest game to hit PCs since the Sims and WOW.

I cant wait to see what they do with the hyperspaces, something like star trek maybe.
