They are supposed to be micrometeorites hitting the shield, zipping by.

It's just a lore-friendly way that he was explaining the need/utility of the streaks. It's a game design used to convey movement and speed, and he just explained it in a way that makes sense in the...

I would guess they're augmented reality visual indicators to help the pilot establish their current speed and heading, and they're more frequent and long in this to show the pilot that the hyperspace...

So will this have a single player campaign or will it be just a multiplayer sandbox? Is it similar to any of the X games?

I'm super pumped for this game, much more than for Star Citizen. I have a fetish for space games being in real life scale.

Looks great, except for the fact that he's trying to find the waypoint for half the video.And the fact that I'm pretty sure the capacitors were at 200% for a decent while.Not nitpicking, just amusing....

I never said nor implied Elite has a small budget.

Because David Braben is a god with procedural generation, You should look up some of his talks about it, you can basically create the earth with a handful of props and a bunch of random numbers.

There are no details yet for planetside stuff because that will only be tackled after the game is released. In any case, obviously no developer will be able to uniquely handcraft tens of thousands of...

I haven't played it myself, only seen videos, but the sound design in Elite Dangerous seems particularly excellent.

that's blatantly false. No third person will be allowed when outside of ships. The third person view when in ships in SC is literally just a camera and nothing else, not even a reticle. According to...

You will, technically, be able to fight in 3d person in SC, but there will be no hud, or targetting reticules, or anything to actually make you useful in a fight. CR has said multiple times that 3rd...

How DARE they show off well implemented features! Those bastards!Resorting to sarcasm over being rational? I'm pointing out a fact, not making a complaint.

Unlike RSI, I don't think they feel a need to parade them around as they have a huge amount of actual gameplay to show off.How DARE they show off well implemented features! Those bastards!

It will be allowed, but there will be no HUD while in 3rd person.

Is this true? I thought I had read that Star citizen decided they wouldnt allow 3rd person in combat as it would give those players an advantage.

SC is planning to be largely player driven for how events in the persistent universe fold out, with notable acts actually having that player recorded in the official game history. (Naming planets and...

Thats interesting, I wasnt aware that Elite has been in shorter development time than SC. Maybe they were developing or prototyping it with a small team for the first few years.

For me, the number one is definitely Enemy Starfighter. It isn't as full-featured or realistic, but it hits on everything I like, and unlike all the videos I've seen of the other games, the combat is...
