[Kickstarter]Elite: Dangerous

Commander Jameson returns finally, Cant wait!

Elite” has gone down in history as one of the most successful games of the 1980s. It was the first ‘open world’ game in which the player can freely roam a vast space. It was the first true 3D game too, and set many other benchmarks. Ian Bell and I set out to make a game for ourselves rather than for some imagined market. We were sick of games with three lives then a new life every 10,000 score; we wanted something new.

This needs more support. Been waiting for this game for over 15 years now.

I wish there was more in the way of promotional material and/or concept work on the KS page. I guess I'm used to Planetary Annihilation and Star Citizen which seemed to have a well fleshed out vision before going to KS. I'm also hesitant because of:

Looking at all the high quality games we at Frontier have produced, from RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 to Kinectimals to LostWinds to Disneyland Adventures, I think the risk of non-delivery is small.

Not that this necessarily means the result will be bad but it doesn't give me much confidence. I want nothing more than for this game to be great, but as usual I'm skeptical rolleyes.gif

In the last 2 hrs the money that has been raised has gone up over 30k, I think if they made this like the original was with better graphics it will be a winner, Braben isnt stupid like other devs, He knows what works and wont break a winning formula, He will only add to that formula, The Devs at Dice should take note of this.

Interview with David Braben about the game, and you can see the game running in the background.

Hmmm the rewards don't seem very tempting.

"Receive the digital newsletter and progress updates, plus the reward above."

Uhm... aren't digital newsletter and progress updates usually free?

Plannetary Annihilation, Star Citizen and now this. These guys seem to be showing all the big devs what fans really want. QUALITY!!!! Will have to keep my eye on this and wait to see some in-game footage when they get some put together.
