    Fuck yeah, just announced at GDC http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/04/elite-dangerous-xbox-one/
    Elite:Dangerous will be the One's answer to No Man's Sky, except its not a cartoon. Theres hardly any info about No Man's Sky, so the assumption that its going to be the best game ever made is ridiculous at this point. Elite:Dangerous however has already been out on PC and looks fun as hell! http://youtu.be/5QWqzRYU0gU
    Having said that I can't wait for both games, its looking like this year will finally be the year for good games on the current-gen consoles

     
  2. Eh, apples vs oranges. Elite dangerous is more of a flight sim, i.e. you can't land on planets and walk around.

    No man's sky seems to be more focused on the planetary exploration aspect.

    Not to discredit Elite Dangerous or anything, the game is pretty amazing from what I've seen of it. It also seems to be a work in progress, so maybe fps elements will be implemented at some point, similar to what star citizen aims to achieve. I'm not super well-versed on the game though, so this is just spit-balling lol.

    Damn! They have some serious ambitions for this game! I was under the impression that they were simply making a space flight sim similar to the titles of the early Elite series. I might have to pick this up on PC soon.. I'm excited to see what they've got coming in the future. It sounds like they're going to compete against star citizen, too.

    *unsuccessfully tries to keep self from squealing like a kid in excitement*

    2015 is gonna be a good year for gaming, I hope!


    Edit: btw thanks dude for that post chock full of info. I'm drooling over it lol

    I've heard some mixed things about Elite: Dangerous. Number one con was a lack of actual meaningful content (which depends on who you are and what you determine to be meaningful). Nunber two con being that your actions really have no effect on the game world at large (although this is true for almost every game in existence)... I don't think those two cons are a deal breaker for me, as I still plan to buy the game when it hits a good sale price.
     
  6. There is a certain amount of realism that you just don't include in a game, in my opinion and in my opinion, this game has crossed that threshold into pointless exploration.


    IDK, my buddy was just fuckin raving about this game, but really couldn't articulate why.


    Im not gonna shit on the game, hate it or love it games are usually pretty profound and cool. It is what it is.
