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.

Very nice.... Agree too much more exiting than any console releases.... :D

Goodness scheduled for a March 2014 release! :) Don't think I'll ever need a next gen console at this rate.... tons of stuff to play on current gen and this will be a huge time-soak for me....

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. :wink:

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. ;)

Also, ban request for Sir_LANs-a-lot for "amazeballs".

Fair point that.
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.
