it needs to be big enough to drive the 2nd half of the financial year imo........

What an utterly, depressingly, tedious thought. That Elite should be considered in terms of the "2nd half of the financial year". The more so because it's certainly true.

On another, though related, note. Time was this forum was full of bright eyed bunny rabbits all naively happy because FD was FINALLY producing the long awaited sequel. One can't help but notice a change. Not only a degree of cynicism that would have been unthinkable then, but even......hostility.
 
Announcing another announcement, ETA this time around Gamescom....how very unexpected.

Marketing talk, fair 'nuff, work those drums. I don't blame them.

But come on guys, you still bite on vague statements like that and go "imagination overdrive" throughout an entire summer now ?

OK, if that rocks your boat, who the heck am i to judge ? I wish i could muster half the enthusiasm.

4:00 AM and drunk, not the perfect scenario anyway, i mean you no offense.

Boatload of people working on it? Really? There's speculation! Seriously doubt there's a boatload of developers working on this game at the moment.
So putting aside that the boat may well be a dinghy :D, the newsletter says "The Elite: Dangerous team is bigger than ever, and the majority are working on something secret for PC and Mac." Surely you don't doubt the Word of the Braben?! :eek:

The same guy who promised us the offline single player game?

Yesssss.......

You can find your single player offline borefest 15 or so years ago when that crap made sense to develop and release.

Luckily fd realized it was 2015 and we didn't need another version of the same thing that has existed in the genre since 1984. Unfortunately they still included "solo" and group modes.
 
Probably will be fuzzy dice for your ship that they will release as limited edition for 15 euro sell for 2 weeks then in a month will sell it again to anyone for 3 euro. After all they have done crap like that before

I hope you remember your post, the next time somebody suggests to put something modern or 2015-ish into ED, and don't dismiss it as insta gratification, pewpew, i want my ponies whine.

I never was in the offline camp, but i was there, when a pathetic and scared community butchered their fellow backers....well done, be proud.
 
My guess: PC/Mac players can port their current Commander name to their new XBox Commander for FREE* starting September 1st!

*One time convenience fee of 2£ per character in name.

Mode separation, powerplay that relies on PvP actions, guilds, player space stations and blockading methods :D
 
Me and a few others are apparently on the same wavelength....

I have a simple view of this. If a man says he'll do a thing then he should do it.

But I realise there are too few simpletons in the world. And a surfeit of those who, shall we say, feel differently. It was always thus.

P.S.

I'm surprised "crap" makes it through the filter in this maiden aunt regime. Perhaps I should start testing the limits.

They really need to not announce that one imo, just let it happen as organically as possible. That said, there is no stopping this hype train, it derailed way back. If it(aliens) arrives as an announcement, I fear, will be just another NPC to shoot, just different shapes and colours. So much potential will be lost.

If a big development team is on the Thargoids, then perhaps that the Thargoids, will come with a civilization ?
 
Kerrash said he has seen things from August reveal and he also said it will put worries about ED losing focus to the rest.

Take it as you will, lack of hype is totally understandable, but this gives me hope of expanding core gameplay in serious way.

Also reminder that they develop things in parallel. Expansions are being worked on and core game being worked on.
