Elite:Dangerous videos

[sscadmin]

I haven't been watching many of these videos, but I had to comment on that hull damage indicator (friendly/foe). That is probably the best visual representation of damage in a space game yet to a ship. A+

[Cody]

I'm deliberately not watching any of the vids, so when I get my hands on the Beta-2, it'll be fresh and new (and virtually complete). I prefer to dive into the deep-end with a game, so I'll learn it from scratch, and be ready for the Gamma release - then it's onward and upward!

Some FFA action, and the Bee Gees!

New diary for the game about Alpha 3 stations.   Hope their is a keyboard command for the landing gear.

Long play video from Frontier of the single player mission in the Alpha.

That video reminds me, I musk ask Mark if he would like to drop by here and say hi. EDIT: Stormprooter? You soooo need a little disco glitter ball on your dashboard for that video! :girlcrazy:

I notice Stormprooter got a question answered on one of the Twitch videos

[Cody]

A flashy trailer for E3 - almost cinematic in style. Damn it - why can I never get a vid to embed!

[Pinback]

Damn it - why can I never get a vid to embed! You should be just able to copy and past a YouTube link straight into the forum and it should appear. 

[Cody]

This is a rather cool vid - one of the first I have watched, as it happens.

Couple of small vids.

Well tried several time to sign on to my ED account & no connection to server ?Anyone else having these type of problems today? More than likely server is overloadedwith influx of new players, but thought I would ask lol. Shadowma

[Cody]

The server was down most of the afternoon/evening as they got Beta 1 ready for release. Now it's live, the servers are getting hammered by thousands of new (and older) players wanting in. Not me though - I'll wait a week or two!

I only just started installation & download for Standard Beta 1 ED. I will see what happens tonight after I have finished work.

Beta release trailer - looks pretty good!

A full in game Galaxapedia - Tells you what over 300 galactical terms mean - From the Event Horizon to a meteorite.

Nice videos , especially the beta trailer. I remember having seen such close mothership sequences in Star Wars where you have to put out AA batteries, only here: it's probably real-time and dynamic, not scripted. But I would be more thrilled to see what the interfaces and actions will be *outside* your ship like after landing on planets, stations and what air battles will look like planet side, which should give another challenging experience as opposed to battles in space where you could use asteroids as a protection shield in your strategy (hopefully the AI is designed that way). Frontier First Encounter as the predecessors were already pointing to a certain extend of realism: Newtonian orbits, sling shots around planets and suns, etc. I'm curious if the things in the "Galaxapedia" are also modelled to a certain realism, like Event Horizons of a Blackhole, maybe the pilot will all of a sudden get white hairs as a consequence of the relativistic time effect ... :haha: All the grafics seen up to now are very juicy, can't wait to have this game on my system. Hopefully ED will also be tollerant with older computer systems, although I have doubts seeing such accurate grafics running smoothly, I'm afraid 3,5 GH processor and the latest grafic card with 4GB memory will be a minimum requirement ? Please tell me it ain't so. Congrats,XenonS

[Cody]

A genuine quad-core CPU and a decent GPU (even with only 1GB VRAM) should run it okay (though maybe not with full bells and whistles). Minimum specs for the release version are not yet stated. There will no doubt be code optimisations along the way too.

[XenonS]

Yeah, thanks Cody. That's good news, nowI have the chance to get a used I7 2.93 GH desktop with a good Nvidia grafic card (in 2 slots, 3 vents...) . Think I take this one home. Thanks,XenonS
