Elite on Kickstarter...
Re: Elite on Kickstarter...
Sweet Mother of Jesus this is looking good - I'm so much more excited for this than I am PS4 or XBONE...
Throw in Oculus VR support (Which I believe they are) and this will be insane.
So happy I helped fund this.

Yea, I watched this earlier on, it's looking good and definitely got the juices flowing 
Re: Elite on Kickstarter...
Watching those Vipers dive into the action, I couldn't help think of this:

...and think "finally, nearly 30 years on, Elite now looks as awesome as what Frey's art conjured up in a child's imagination".
They've finally brought that cover alive. It's no longer artistic licence, it's now reality.

That's a cracking trailer. One of the best I've seen in a while. Of course, the Phantom Menace trailer was excellent, too.

Yeah, so glad I backed this. Really looking forward to it on PC, and I have an OR on my Christmas list in preparation.

Fair point that.Governmentyard wrote:That's a cracking trailer. One of the best I've seen in a while. Of course, the Phantom Menace trailer was excellent, too.
We have to remember this is still, relatively speaking, made for a shoe-string budget.
Procedurals and passion can get them so far, but they might not have much left for game-play polishing.
