We've emailed a few sneek peek screens to the backers, but here they are as well:

[Robert Maynard]

Ooooh.... Pretty pictures!

Nice!

 

[Darren Grey]

Hah, man, awesome to see this I especially like the detail in picture 3!

Elite Dangerous Sneak Peek

Woohoo.. screenies of in-game action from Michael this morning....

See here for the newsletter.

My only question is what are the in-cockpit views going to look like (I know we've seen glimpses of renderings)....

Looking good FD, looking good

[ Removing images and merged thread - Michael]

 

[JohnStabler]

Trying to recreate the trench run scene from Star Wars eh?

I love the out of focus planet/moon. Although Allen Stroud may be unhappy because that space doesn't look very black!

 

[Sir.Tj]

They are all stunning. But the 1st one

 

[MikeSnos]

Those shots look rather good (master of understatement!)

I can't help wondering what the in-game Cockpit views are like (I know we've seen some renderings) or are they not quite ready for us?

Looking superb though

 

[Phoenix_Dfire]

Are those sidewinders doing a 'Death Star Trench Run'?

 

[Juniper]

I think I just did a little wee.

It looks like two sidewinders attacking an Imperial cruiser to me, flying down the launch bays and pew pewing things up.

 

[Michael Brookes]

Merged duplicate threads.

I pity those poor people who don't work from home who are having to view the email later on and in miniature on their phones... That's got to be frustrating to the nth degree!

Looks very cool!

Anti-Aliasing seems to be missing though- what type of AA will the game use? FXAA HQ? Will ED run under DX11?

I noticed that too... I suspect that's what the change in the last image, that Michael alluded to, is about...

There's no AA yet. One of many improvements to come.

[Susimetsa]

Very nice! Good to have some action shots, but... any chance of the same action in _video_ at some point?

Maybe...

[Bingo Brewster]

Loving it

 

[Rick Deckard]

very very nice

 

[jabokai]

Looks tasty!

Question about the explosions - not sure of the terminology so forgive me, but are they volumetric and procedural; they look very different in the 2 pics so I hope so!
