Elite: Dangerous confirmed for Xbox One

elite_d3e5.640.jpg


It has been confirmed that the PC space title will be coming to Xbox One in the Summer and includes all content added to the PC version by February's Community Goals content update and March's Wings content update.

David Braben from Frontier had the following to say about the news...

Elite: Dangerous on Xbox One will be the complete and authentic Elite: Dangerous experience. It will not be 'dumbed down'. We'll be working with an all-new audience, but that doesn't mean a change in direction for the game, and nor does it mean slowing development on the PC version. The second of our updates - Wings - is being beta tested by some of you right now, and the third will be coming in the spring, free of charge. We'll be talking more about the third major update - Powerplay - soon!

Getting some major No Man's Sky vibes from this, of which I'm guessing will serve as Microsoft's answer to said title. However it definitely looks a lot more realistic than NMS which I think appeals to me more, NMS has shown a pretty small color spectrum which will get old eventually for me. Plus a procedurally generated universe will naturally get more and more repetitive with limited assets to pool from. So this looks pretty cool so far, I'll be keeping an eye on it.

No Mans Sky will also be coming to XB1 as its only a timed exclusive on PS4 (coming to PC at same time). This is only coming to PC & XB1 and handful of other titles are coming too of similar genre such as Star Citizen.

Hah, I didn't even know that. Sony did a good job of pulling the wool over my eyes then (and many others), it's like how people have completely forgotten that Rise of the Tomb Raider is also coming to Xbox 360. Not familiar with Star Citizen, but I just looked it up and I think it looks even more impressive perhaps. Damn, where were games like this when I was a kid.

Guess I'll be keeping an eye out on both of 'em then and see how it all plays out.

Yeah No Mans Sky is another coming to PS4 first title (not an exclusive), just carefully worded to make some think its only coming to PS4. The space survival sim seems to be on the boom at the moment and loads of them popping up, about 3 more great looking ones coming but their names slip my mind at moment (its early).

This video is pretty old now and been many updates to Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen since this but here is a basic differences video between Elite Dangerous/Star Citizen and No Mans Sky.

Months Later, Elite: Dangerous Players Make Major Discovery About Mysterious Alien Artifacts

A handful of months ago, players began coming across “unknown artefacts” that made bizarre noises—some of which were morse code scans of nearby objects, others of which had players scratching their heads so hard that they developed premature bald spots.

After trying almost literally Everything Else, a player going by the name of Mike Juliett Kilo decided to feed a pre-recorded unknown artefact signal into an antique scanner item he had in his cargo. It spat out a vector image—specifically, one of the very ship he was flying.

People have also been describing their first interactions with Thargoids in other Elite games.

Frontier Developments reveal 12 month roadmap for Elite Dangerous

Four updates, going under the catch-all name Beyond, are currently planned for release in 2018, and all will be free to those that own the Elite: Dangerous expansion Horizons. There's a real mix of additions throughout the year, but the general focus appears to be on delivering new quality of life features and on deepening the game's core, rather than the kind of banner feature additions that have marked Elite's currently ongoing second "season".
