I am excited for this on x1, love space sim games and i am glad they are coming back. Wish star citizen would come to consoles but at least elite:dangerous will be there.
Can the [HASHTAG]#mods[/HASHTAG] fix the title ?
Sure.
Here's more info about the game (which I'm assuming is a console exclusive?).
"At its Game Developers Conference presentation today, Xbox head Phil Spencer said that the game will launch this summer and include all of the content from the PC version will make its way to the console port, including the just announced March Wings expansion."
"By this point you might be asking exactly yourself "Okay, so what's the big deal here?" Well, Elite: Dangerous is a massively multiplayer online simulator that's incredibly open-ended and detailed. Of the game's 400 billion star systems that you can explore, some 150,000 are taken from real-world astronomical data. That's a lot! Sure, that all sounds cool on paper, but a vast universe is kinda meaningless unless there's something to do with all that space. Based on early impressions, you aren't going to lack activities."
"Want to get ahead as a space pirate, doing illegal activities as you see fit? Go for it. You can dock with space stations, buy goods for a low price and sell them elsewhere higher if you'd rather be on the honest side of the law, too."

I am not yet sure if this game is for me. I was kinda hoping for different planets like No Man's Sky seems to have. I have to agree with Almighty_Bob, it does look a bit boring, very samey too. Some different backdrops, things to see would be cool. Instead of what seems to be nothing but blackness.
Welcome to space. It's mostly blackness.
As this is an always online game I wonder if they could make use of the cloud. All those asteroids and rocky rings around planets with thousands of rocks could make ideal use of the cloud. I remember at E3 2013 MS were showing the press a demo where the X1 could power 50000 asteroids moving around a solar system in real time. Then when they switched to cloud powered, they could render 300000 asteroids calculating their movement in real time.
They said at the time it would make any other console burn a whole in the ground.

Lies, I see bright, pretty stuff all the time....
Not exactly bright, but a nice ice belt around a gas giant
I hear that. Star citizen is the only game in the last two decades to even make me consider going back to pc gaming. It still might happen when that game eventually gets released. I'll definitely take this in the mean time
That's what I want to know too. How fun is the combat? How often do you engage in combat? If its very rarely, I think I may pass on this.Now THAT is what i was talking about. How's the combat itself? Satisfying?

Wait....So what's appealing about this game? That video made it seem very boring. I grew up on wing commands and xwing vs tie fighter and I would love.something that fills that itch. I hope there's more to it.
The whole game is online. Not sure how Versus or Co op works though.any co-op or some form of online play?

Co-op on PC wasn't very good. However, I do know that the game was to receive a patch--in March-- that was mainly about co-op. Adding co-op missions, making it easier to group up, etc.
So is versus done in something like a free fire zone?
