Join Windows Central on an in-depth look into Elite Dangerous, newly arrived on Xbox One via the new Game Preview program.
In a highly controversial decision developer Frontier has made the decision to allow players to buy ships with real money in their long running game Elite: Dangerous, sparking outrage amongst the community.
'Elite Dangerous' lets you live any kind of life you want in space. From dogfights with pirates to peaceful science missions, there's an option for every playstyle.
What do you mean by quietly?
They announced it last week along the other games that was released yesterday on PS+ Extra/Premium.
They are trying to make it look like a casual drop, while trying to make it look like it outshines Starfield.
Great game, sadly abandoned by the developers due to the different version it ran compared to PC.
Plenty of hours to be had, we just miss out on a bunch of cool features and story development compared to PC players.
I was bummed when they announced they wouldn’t be bringing Odyssey to consoles. That was when I really began losing active interest in the game. Up until then, I already had about 800 hours invested in the game.
Nah I'm good this the dev team that had console plans then decided not to and only work on the PC version why would I support a trash company
its ok. its def a pc game that made its way to console randomly. been out for a few years so its not exactly "new".
By Jason Monroe: Get ready to explore the galaxy, unravel space mysteries, and blow up some spaceships in our selection of games like Starfield.
I've had the game on PC for a few weeks and only now do I feel fully comfortable with it. The author is correct in that ED *does* have a steep learning curve, and the in-game tutorials don't offer much, but in the end it's truly an amazing experience, mainly for the exploration aspect.
Once you get a good ship and a high-end Frame Shift Drive (it's not necessary, but the better the FSD = the longer the jump range = the faster the trip), the entire galaxy opens up and you can see everything from supergiants, nebulae, neutron stars and even black holes (the last two of which are incredibly spooky to see up close). The trip itself can be intense at times, especially when you have to graze the outer corona of a star to refill your fuel tank, knowing getting too close can overheat your ship and cause damage--sometimes even causing individual modules to malfunction or even stop working altogether (RIP cargo hold 6/16/2015 - 6/18/2015).
But this is coming from a guy that's been in love with outer space since his childhood years, so if you don't care much about seeing the sights, you'll probably get bored pretty quickly if all you do is complete bounties and shoot pirates. But Frontier is promising us some really good add-ons later down the road, so I'm optimistic.
