That whole bit about stowing away on board other people's ships? I can see that being a big problem to implement, especially with the P2P topology used to provide multiplayer at present.

Interesting to hear David say we will be able to enter planetary atmosphere before the full planetary landing expansion comes out...

I'm curious as to how they will test and develop the updates after release. Will it be all internal, or will they have a beta access for certain players, maybe those now testing, that will allow them to fine tune things before going out to everyone?

Is there suppose to be a link in the OP?

Or is it the vid in your sig. Either way I'm confused.

And what movie is the blue dancing alien at 0.42?

Hehe I thought that was what he was posting about too.

The blue alien is from an awesome movie called the Fifth Element.

Being old and a scifi movie tragic, I have seen and recognised every single scene in the space truckin vid except for the one at 2.16 with the dancing robot? There there is one scifi movie I have not seen:S. I also did not watch all of space balls. The sad Scifi's form the 40's and 50's had more appeal to me than that.

Sorry to hijack the thread.

I want ED to be close to the real dream as an explorer I want to travel visit and say wow occasionally. Love how the current game is developing, a bit disappointed we have totally lost Newtonian physics now.

I thought I'd seen the fifth element, but maybe not.

No idea what the dancing robot one is either. Not seen them all but my favourites from them is Spaceballs and galaxy quest. Probably alone on that thought though :)

All the stuff they are talking about. I'm really excited however are they even capable of doing that even with modern computers. It's like landing on planets, we all know how huge and complex a planets is, I cannot see them making a planets surface anything other than a generic portion of the game based on the sheer scale of the game already.

Sounds like a gimmick. :p

People said it was impossible to make a game like elite on a computer with 16k memory but they did.

Never underestimate the power of a Frontier Dev. :)

Yes, sorry about that :eek:. The link is in my next post on this thread. And you're not alone, I loved Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest.

It's possible. Check out videos for No Man's Sky.

If four developers in Guildford can do it, Braben - and his team - can do it.

Remember, what we have right now is a huge amount of content squeezed into less than 2.5gb disk space; this is the amazing power of procedurally generated content. Once the artists have time to make the content, made in ways that can be altered multiple ways through dozens of variables per asset, the procedural generator will do the rest.
