Elite Dangerous[a] is a space flight simulation game developed and published by Frontier Developments. The player takes the role of a pilot (colloquially referred to as "Commander" or "CMDR") of a spaceship, and explores a realistic 1:1 scale open-world representation of the Milky Way galaxy, with the gameplay being open-ended. The game is the first in the series to attempt massively multiplayer gameplay, with players' actions affecting the narrative story of the game's persistent universe, while also retaining a single-player mode. Elite Dangerous is the fourth game in the Elite video game series. It is the sequel to Frontier: First Encounters,[11] released in 1995.
Having been unable to agree to a funding deal with a publisher for many years, Frontier began its Kickstarter campaign in November 2012. Pre-release test versions of the game had been available to backers since December 2013, and the final game was released for Windows in December 2014,[1] with the macOS version later released in May 2015. A "preview" version of the game for Xbox One was later released via the Xbox Game Preview Program in June 2015 during Microsoft's briefing at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2015,[12][13] and was fully released in October 2015,[14] while a PlayStation 4 version was released on 27 June 2017. Elite Dangerous additionally supports all PC virtual reality devices.[15][16]
Elite Dangerous Odyssey, which adds first-person shooter play on planetary surfaces and inside bases to the game, does not support virtual reality. Instead, the on foot player traverses these environments while wearing VR goggles with absolutely no depth perception, which is normally provided by a virtual reality experience. This effectively limits the player to viewing the environment through a 'static rectangular window', much like carrying around a large 'viewing monitor' directly in front of the field of view. [17]
By the end of April 2015, Elite Dangerous had sold over 500,000 copies, with Frontier Developments expected to generate £22 million from sales.[18] As of 15 January 2019, cumulative sales of Elite Dangerous exceeded 4.3 million franchise units, composed of 3 million base game units and 1.3 million Horizons expansion units.[19] In April 2020 the sales of Elite Dangerous base game units had passed 3.5 million.[20] During an interview published on 23 October 2020, Frontier CFO Alex Bevis announced that Elite Dangerous had generated more than £100 million of revenue.

elite dangerous part 2 pls
Hahhahahahah man , my god that “trailer” looks all cgi and not even gameplay( like all mobile game ads these days), and I’m surprised these fake ads are still legal although they’re all fake.
Still good on you for getting sponsors.
Yes, before the upgrade, you were THE SHIP and you couldn't walk around on foot anywhere.
A lot of space games are now under pressure from Star Citizen to let you land and walk around in space stations and on the ground, and maybe even walk around inside your ship in the future.
Try Outer Wilds
Whoever told you that you were funny, lied
Imagine the guy who gave you a mission and you asked for more money and he said "You look like I can trust you" , imagine the look on his face when he sees you immediately go to pilot training after that conversation lmao
Lmfao!
Now THAT is Hilarious!!!!

imagine and imagine of imaginning the imagine

A huge tip to players who are curious to try elite dangerous after this. In the settings you can program a button to set your ship throttle to 75%.
When in super cruise heading to a destination, If you activate that throttle setting at 7 seconds on the clock “0:07”
You will always come in for a smooth entering and you’ll never have to turn around or emergency exit to get back to your destination.
It's six
Six seconds
There was a really nice meme about it a few years back
Bit sixual though
Or buy auto pilot. Great for those boring trade missions, exploration and not so good in a combat ship.
@@Sylusssss It's six, but for a newbie, I agree is better to slow down on seven =)
@@psibug565 He already had it, as it did the "Hyperspace Dethrottle" thing. Just need to select it in the nav panel when selecting destination.
Yeeesss we in the ED community call this the "Six Second rule" makes dropping into your location so much easier.
I've been playing ED for quite a while before Odyssey came out, so it was cool watching what the new player experience is like in the Odyssey expansion.
ED?? that's an unfortunate abbreviation 💀

@@harryjd0_0 Accurate description of what Elite Dangerous became. FDev is perhaps one of the worst devs.
@@Alecxace It used to be different. Altho progress was always slow, they were trying. Their tech support is really nice and cool, which was a new thing for me.
@@WwZa7 I don't recall a single time when FDev was ever really competent. They always sucked at communication, and they were always spread to thin, divided between other IPs. The game stagnated for a long time and when Odyssey's alpha came out we knew it was going to be really rough.

@@luciano6659 Just like the real one.
@@yojishinkawa378 Maybe.
That the game is empty and pointless, when they created lore and alien life on it is dissapointing lmao
As a long time Elite player, this was a joy to watch honestly
When he IMMEDIATELY took illegal missions I knew this was going to be entertaining to watch.
Agreed!
I felt bad that he didnt get to really understand just how crazy big the elite dangerous galaxy is... I kinda wanted him to zoom out on his map and go "whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu????"
Ive been playing elite off and on for years now, i gotta say, there is zero comparison to star citizen. Elite is a 1 for 1 scale galaxy with populated sections, aliens, galactic bodies now with odessy you get first person that finishes the immersion. Star Citizen is an expensive, pay to win cash grab that doesnt work and is hugely limited in size.
Im still amazed a game from 2014 is the way it is....
@@patrickww99 Does Odyssey combine game-saves? Like if I’m playing Horizon and Buy Odyssey, do I have to restart on a new save?
@@NicholasAdamDemonte No, you don’t have to restart
Okay, I was totally impressed with the cloning the guy's identity, accessing the security terminal and figuring out the locker code.
Yep and they use that system in several other major ways. Makes it feel WAY more real.
And it's just one of the ways you can do it. You can brute force your way in by cutting through the panels and overloading the locks. He did it the sneaky way though
C is the speed of light, so however many C's is that much times the speed of light, Ly is light years, ls is light seconds, M is mega, k is kilo, this game uses SI units so if no unit is given the standard unit is assumed, e.g. speed is metres/second when no unit is given
dude even said 'if a game displays temperature in kelvin, they are really serious' had me laughing
Ooooh that's what he was talking about! I was scratching my head, "C larger than L larger than M, what is that? modules? Star types??"
@@elkikex oh it's not "C it's just C meaning celeritas in latin that means speed, which stands for the speed of light you're mistaken for "C as Celsius a unit of temperature
@@elkikex He's confused by the speed and distance displays I suppose. In supercruise it goes into c's to display how much the speed of light you're traveling (I believe it was soft capped at around 2011c or something but that takes a long time to reach). If you go "slower" however it changes to different units, such as Mm/s (Megameters per second) with the slowest being m/s (meters per second).
Ls would be the distance measured in light seconds. It's all pretty simple once you understand the units, but it's probably easier for everyone outside of the US.
American brains about to implode
This was a really fun watch! As you said; the game prior to the Odyssey expansion was all flying, no getting out of the ship. So it is really cool to see the experience of a new player using on-foot gameplay more as their default than flying. I hope you continue to enjoy the game even after the review!
Well... we did get an SRV with Horizons to drive around on the planets. :)
@@TemalCageman Space legs are still a very different experience. Too bad the release was riddled with ongoing performance issues, which pretty much excluded a lot of people using low & midrange systems. I also think they should eliviate some of the issues of the long distances & slow travel times. Picking up speed while escaping a planets gravity for example takes about 1-2 minutes sometimes, which feels even longer since you can't actually do anything during that time. Same for some supercruise distances to other stars, which really should allow for a microjump (generally for bodies at a certain mass threshold). It's just very tedious and kind of a chore and that all got kinda worse with Horizons & then Odyssey. On foot experience has similar issues, or rather also adds onto existing issues, such as dying being very punishing in combination with the distance traveled (and with the all its time put into it) being lost. That's really my main complaint and why I'm not sure if I'll return, even if I ever get a new GPU, which hopefully compensates for the FPS issues in certain on foot situations.
@@Dark__Thoughts Horizons... as in pre Odyssey, allowed us to drive with a vehicle on the planet surface.
I just pointed out that the OP was wrong when he wrote that "As you said; the game prior to the Odyssey expansion was all flying, no getting out of the ship.".
I tried the game a year ago and if that was the intro i would still be playing. Way too convoluted and boring for me.
"I learned from Star Citizen that this is Spooling right there, now this is Quantum Drive."
As a ED player... Ouch... That one hurt.
Yea, having played both I can say that I vastly prefer elite's way to SCs. But SC is just one system, and the last time I went to quantum my pilot fell out of the ship and died.
@@xaero5150 tbh, that is pretty Quantum move from the pilot.
Edit:
Also, how ED uses its different modes of travel, how that travel mechanicly works etc, makes it my absolute favorite mode of spacetravel in fiction.
@@xaero5150 dang, that must had been a log time ago, havent had that bug for a year or 2, but man it was annoying lol
As an EX- ED player, made me smile :) sc is better man, get over it.
@@KamiRecca When he went straight for the exclusion zone of the star, I was squirming. Or when he just went full speed at the planet. Or when he ran around the settlement with his gun out. Yea, fun to watch. If SC would just put in a method to target areas from the mobiglass that involved a list or a search box, that would be awesome. Or have a way to go into something similar to supercruise to get to where you can aim at a target in system. Or if elite would just offer ship interiors. I feel like elite is 95% of what I want with the other 5% being more curated content and ship interiors. It would not even be that hard, most of the ships are already modeled, with the only parts not modeled being modular. a size 6 cargo bay on a conda would be the exact same on a corvette or a python. The only difference would be the hallways and ship design.
Was always curious about Elite Dangerous. I would say play No Man’s Sky, Fallout 3, Vegas, 4, and Outer Worlds to get you Starfiel fix until it releases.
yes! this is a great list. i’d add skyrim in there too even though it’s fantasy
Not New Vegas lol. you’ll be disappointed if you play new Vegas because you’ll realize Bethesda will make the same mistake they made in fallout 4 which was it was a shooter first and RPG second.
@@rowrowflo new vegas was the best fallout ever no cap
@@rowrowflo No that shit will not fly now. Microsoft taking over completely in 2023. Nope
@@mivuhis lol, either way the original 2d ones will always be my favorite. Fallout New Vegas is great sure, but I'm sick of people acting like it's a divine creation when most of y'all were never of age to play it when it came out and have only heard that it's divine from channels like Schizo Elijah and obsidian fanboys.
It's been a long time to see someone play elite dangerous with enthusiasm
Kinda seems like a soul-less game to me
@@XxXnonameAsDXxX Oh, it has a soul.

So unusual to see a new players experience. Especially after playing a while, you forget how confusing and overwhelming this game is
this game geuinely looks better than starfield
it is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than starfield
Thanks for the advice I was going to get it for my birthday
New Player Tip:
You can set your ship to auto-pilot to a target in super cruise, so you don't have to think about speed and alignment. This way, you will never overshoot your target, and will drop right where you need to; at least in space. Atmosphere works a bit differently, and you will need to focus on alignment yourself, and the glide mechanics.
I can agree for new players it is hard to land on planets. Mainly bc it is more of a simulation type game. You have to slow your speed, check the planes, keep in mind of the atmosphere etc.
in supercruise, if you keep the throttle in the "blue zone" your ship will go almost full speed and slow down automatically when you approach the location you have targeted
To be exact, 75%
Or 45 damn I can't remember lol
@@snikrepak it is 75% or 6 second "rule" o7
@@RavingPandaDNB can you explain what the 6 seconds is? Like 6 seconds till arrival?
@@thetoyodacar2264 Yes and no. You adjust your speed as you're decelerating to keep the 'ETA' at 6 seconds. So it won't take you 6 seconds to get there but it will at your current speed without factoring in deceleration. It's kind of like a cheat of sorts. If you go down to 5 seconds, you're going too fast. If you go above 6, you're slowing down too quickly
I've been playing elite almost since the beginning off and on. It was really cool watching you go through the tutorials. I think they just need more fully voiced sections to introduce specific gameplay types.
@AG90 jes!
-like for powerplay to get powerplay weapons !chain mission fully voiced!imperials vs federals ,like a space agent 2.9 and and..
- explorer chain misssions with passanger on board !explain you have you finde thargoid bases and you get the key to see where is the next thargoid b..fully voiced!
-unlook Engineers!you get a visit from x Engineers right hand !to do some spionage missions about special drives from prof.palin!
there are now 100 possibilities, we have space legs! who would have thought that a few years ago ?!i hope frontier expands like in horizons (but faster after optimazation ;)we will see o7
You've been playing since the 80s? What do you think of it near 40 years later?
I haven't played the Odyssey update, but the new tutorial mission was fun to watch vs what I originally did like 5 years ago "tossed into a ship and learn to fly" lol. I remember overshooting my destination probably a good thousand times before I just took a breath and spent like 3 days just learning how to fly (I originally played on PS4), then watched some videos. I remember a time where there wasn't any auto landing or departure, you had to buy the technology to help you do those things and it was expensive, and I kept bumping into walls and getting fined for it haha. So glad to see you are trying out a lot of new games, and can't wait for the next one!
Yeah that was a pain.
Im still a purist. I think everyone should learn how to dock manually. Autodock ruins some of the skill of flying IMO.
@@MuttonChops24 If it's anything like Star Citizen, landing and taking off in big ships is one of the most stress inducing tasks you can do in a video game.
I still fuck up with planets. I don't understand completely how to prevent the sudden speed up because of gravity
@@MuttonChops24 Docking manually is not even that hard and it makes it feel better, goes faster and you can free some space from the auto systems

@@jayveeeee I like elite dangerous it's more simple

@MoshoHunter if you don't like dealing with bugs then no mans sky will have to be ur game for a while
@MoshoHunter true, but if its a good looking game you look for and you don't mind bugs, Star Citizen would be a great choice assuming ur pc is up to par
The speed letters are based on light speed.
C is the speed of light.
Ls is light-second, similar to light year.
The speedometer is metric based on the meter so no letters is meters/second, km/s is kilometers/second, mm/s is megameters/second
If you move at 1c, you’ll move at 1ls per second. Light speed is 300 megameters per second and if I’m not mistaken the speedometer switches to C units once you hit .1 c
I love how he immediately chose illegal missions despite not even knowing how to fly XD
It's always interesting seeing new players start Elite, been playing for a few years and brings back the memories from when I was a new commander flying around in my sidey.
Wtf? This is completely different to when I played it! I don’t even think you could leave your ship back when I played it, this is interesting
its a 30€ dlc on top of the game, if like me you've played near the game release you only have the base version witch doesn't let you land on planet because before to land on a planet you had to have the horizon dlc. now the base version let you land on planet but to be able to use your feet you have to have the oddysey dlc

@jayvee Quite impressed how well you managed with such an overwhelming game like Elite Dangerous.
So many buttons, mechanics and things to take care of (like landing permissions, "loop of shame"s, mass locks or hardpoints deployed while trying to enter supercruise), you did a great job.
I always liked how approachable elite was compared to the other space sims, ngl i was on the fence about the odyssey dlc but watching you have fun with it kinda changed my mind.
Wouldnt recommend it personally. Its all extremely repetitive. From where you can lamd to the enemies you fight. To the interiors of space stations. Its pretty much all copy pasted. The farther you go the more bullet spongey enemies get as well.
Odyssey is a train wreck of a DLC, wish I never got it, pointless grinding and repetitive mechanics. Check out the steam reviews.
The combat is fairly enjoyable and the spectacle is great, but like everyone else is saying, its mostly repetitive and grindy since frontier hasn't been pushing any interesting story lately
@@bitofbeer I wish I never got the preorder
@@ForgedHorizons Yeah, Elite Dangerous in general has a really good hook and cool things to see but when the newness wares off, people see how boring it is and stop playing.
I havent played elite in like 5-7 years. Great to see they finally added guns and walking
As an elite dangerous player, the DLC is almost an entirely different game, as the actual game is more of a flying/rpg (a very grindy one), which is extremely expansive and requires the use of external websites for trade information, locations, and ship upgrade information. The DLC is very much like starfield, and less like Elite Dangerous.
Is that a good or bad thing?
Though the old game is still there, one does not need to do single FPS mission, if one does not want.
@@janialander414 Development time could have went into improving ship gameplay instead of this
@@Skulka The ship gameplay doesn't need improving. It's been a staple of spaceflight sims for years. On-foot gameplay was the right way to go, they just need to add more content for it.

I have not played Odyssey yet (have heard mixed things) but Elite Dangerous is genuinely the most immersive VR experience I have played!
Ive streamed it a few times and every time the community has been extremely supportive and give helpful advice.
Prepare for disappointment then - Odyssey does not support VR and will never be - they officially gave up on it =/

@@TheCzechmate007 it is definitely possible and rather easy to play star citizen in VR, look it up. Look up Planet Wally on youtube.

Warning, capital class signature detected.
FUMP - BRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG
learning how to land my ship on planets was honestly the hardest part of this whole game. 2nd only to fitting a type 9 heavy into the mail slot without assists.
Had more problems with the beluga liner
Even the automated liftoff has problems with hitting the slot xD
I somewhat like that you can have a similar problem with Star Citizen, where ships barely fit their assigned hangars
Elite Dangerous is an amazing spaceflight game, probably the best one I have played, it just has a steep learning curve, but it's well worth the time to figure out. On-foot gameplay is only a recent addition, and most of the gameplay takes place in your ship.
The mistake you were making with approaching station while in supercruise is you want to keep your throttle at 50-75%. Also, when you are scanned by security in a settlement, you have to comply. If you have any stolen goods on your or stolen identity, they will become hostile. You can delete your stolen identity before they scan you.
Despite all the glitches and whatnot odyssey has I’m still getting it. I’ve always wanted to play a proper space sim
"woah, this is the map?" Yeah, try zooming out as far as you can. The map is bigger than you think.
I've been playing elite dangerous since launch, prior to Odyssey the only planet exploring you could do was via the rover.
The game is made by frontier developments, based in Cambridge England
Great video: I've owned Odyssey for quite some time now but never really tried it out besides the walking around in stations and settlements and chasing weird alien plants to sample. But this vid actually made me get into those ground-pounding missions, and they turned out to be quite fun. But I still prefer the simulator aspects of it, and building and customization (engineering) of ships to the FPS stuff.
been playing Elite since 2017, it was such a joy playing the game alongside you while seeing you experience it for the first time. wish i could do that again!
you were making all the same mistakes as i did back in the day, but coming over them much faster. hearing how much fun you had discovering things for the frst time was awesome.
1: The fact that this guy was able to fight off a whole wave of enemies without a shield is awesome.
2: WHO EATS ARBYS?!?!?

@@yumsuc7069 Okay, fair.... but who eats Arbys?
@@Ubermensch9240 mice, ants, rats….that’s about the only creatures I can think of that even touch that slope

Kill me.
The original "Elite", the first one of the series, was released in 1984.
Every other space game is "Like Elite". Elite is the original, all the others are pretenders.
And I played it back in the day on a BBC B computer! Wireframe graphics but it was still amazing, and playing ED now I can still see the skeleton of the original under the current flesh.
The main difference between Star Citizen and Elite is, that Elite is a sandbox simulating the whole galaxy based on astronomical data, while Star Citizen's world is restricted to a limited number of planets which means they can handcraft a lot. Star Citizen is more trying to give you a space adventure, while Elite is more of a simulation. Hard to say though because SC is still in Alpha.
There's a lot of science in Elite actually [insert lont-time-player rant].
I kind of felt it was the other way around? Elite is more space adventure and Star Citizen is more simulation. Seemed like Javee was able to get in and get his bearings in Elite pretty quickly and start having fun without much hassle (other than over-shooting planets). It took me three days just to learn how to properly land and take off in a tiny ship in Star Citizen (and still takes me like five minutes just to properly land my drop ship in that game).
@@billywashere6965 that's because over the years they added a tutorial and landing and travelling assistance as standard modules for every starting ship in order to make it more beginner friendly. There were also several cuts in the video where I was sure he was struggling with mechanics/bindings. 😀
Believe me, elite is a simulation at its core. You can toggle off flight assist and control your ship as a free falling object in space. The galaxy is based on scientific data, also simulating orbits and everything. I don't even have landing assists installed and you can do everything in this game manually.
I'm playing Elite for more than 6 years now and it sure has become more beginner friendly, but not by taking things away but rather by adding assistance.
As soon as star citizen has actually been released I'll have an opinion about it.
@Flare Star Citizen is not a pay to win scam. It's an Alpha still being financed by the community much like a kickstarter project. They are putting far too much work into this thing to be a scam, but the question is, if you want to still support a project that's going for years and years with still no end in sight.
If you can still buy ships with real money after release, that would be pay to win. :D
@Flare We'll see on release. Whenever that might be. :D
Someone gifted me the game two years ago. Otherwise I wouldn't even own it.
Denial about what? SC? Haha!
I got my account gifted by a friend and played like... 1 hour? :D
I don't like alpha/beta testing, so I am noping out until release. :D
I love how you can see it says “most replayed” directly after the advert 💀
I played ED before Odyssey ever came out and I played for about 800 hours. The best description I've ever heard for ED is that it's "a mile wide and inch deep". The scale of the game seems awesome but then you realize there's nothing to do but cargo runs or grinding for 300 hours to make a PvP capable ship.
Thats why I look forward to star citizen, I feel it will give a bit of the scale ED has but more engaging gameplay. Im hoping.
In all honesty, this game was absolutely RIVETING doing cargo runs under the influence of psychedelics.
Once you level up to being a glorified taxi driver ("tours"), you can make 30× the money doing one mission with twelve jumps vs a cargo haul with four.
They may take a while but mathematically is still a faster credit earn than hauls especially if you take scans and trade along the way.
Still a grind I can't see myself going back to yet :(
There are places for sight seeing, canyon racing, shooting aliens, to name a few.
@@MechaShadowV2 Hahhahahha,.... pauses for breath.... HGAHAHHAHAHHAHHAAAA
"a mile wide and inch deep" for players who want a campaign or be handheld. It's a monstrous sandbox space sim that played with others is immensely fun. The fact that you only mention cargo runs and PvP ya it would feel an inch deep.
I remember my first time playing elite, def a harder game to learn but once you get it you will love it
Longtime Elite player here! LOVE this video. The energy is incredible! :)
I remember trying to learn how to properly arrive at my destinations...the over shooting was a nightmare. Then I learned of the rule of 7, then arrivals became a piece of cake.
I love the fact that this man comes from star field, a game that’s not even out, to play well known space games 😂 I like your videos
More like starfield has been born from ED. ED is the grand daddy of space games
Elite Dangerous has been criticized a lot, but this game is quite an experience.
You get an incredible amount of gameplay for a very good price.
The biggest problem is that the devs could do so much more with the potential of this game. They have made some very weird decisions during development.
Sadly they dumped the console versions... I'm not too happy about that.
I think it’s an absolute embarrassment that they made Odtssey cost $40 especially after they had previous DLC that became free.
What things did you dislike?

What things did you like?
I've never played, so i'd love to hear your thoughts.
usually just consoles lasted for like 7 years and so then we just moved to whatever next bigger and Advanced consoles ( yes mostly applies to multi modern consoles Aldo classic one still kind of stay for the most part) but I understand your point
then again I would say kind of also applies to Payday 2 but that's a different story for another day@@saelin00
The yellow ring around stars is called an exclusion zone beyond that your ship will drop from warp or supercruise
Man, I have played this game way too much. It is crazy to see you try it out fresh with all the new content. You seem to have had a really good experience, compared to the old days! It’s a game with a lot to figure out, which is half the fun to me.
I see all the flaws these days, but you actually made me fall in love with the game again. Thanks for sharing!
I've been playing Elite for a while, it was really fun to watch it from a new player's perspective!
I always wanted to play this game when I was young but couldn’t because I got stuck in some random part of space behind a planet that I think was floating on its own without a star and I was terrified because I was suck next to this huge black sphere in the middle of space
Well some basics for flying: That circle drawn around star is drop out zone, you will drop from supercruise and take heat damage if your course gets inside it. Also when you get close to your targwt (some 11 seconds or less in clock) drop down throttle to "blue zone", that way you don't overspeed. Plus there are a lots of ship missions from ship's menu at space stations if you do not care for on foot missions.
(And when it comes to ship to ship combat, getting to combat with your starting ship with default weapons and shields is like trying to hunt a bear with an airgun. )
The fun comes when you get a solar charging module (don't remember what its called, it's been a few years since I played) and you start seeing just how close you can get to a star to refuel more quickly and then you get brave enough to start flying close to pulsars for a super charge.
@@jedsithor Fuel scoop. It is pretty easy, just keep circle line above your bow and roll ship so that star is "Up", and then circle the star until fuel tank is full. At least so with cool running ship.
Neutron boosting is just joy ride in pulsar's jet cone (white dwarves on other hand are dangerous, better leave them alone), just try to keep ship inside cone long enough.
For those wanting to play this on console here's a few notes
Devs abandoned console users
Console doesn't have the Odyssey Expansion because it was abandoned.
Also, in general this game is a grind. Was fun until it was abandoned
Came here to say this. The fact they abandoned console support is ridiculous when you consider how powerful consoles are now. I was really looking forward to playing Odyssey, oh well. 🤦😅
@@FutureExitsMedia prolly because the extra coding wasnt worth it. especially the newest consoles spec was a mid spec pc build 10 years ago
@@jacksonmullen2218 This game came out almost 10 years ago.
@@HollowBagel thats my point. they had to tone down the graphics to put it on the new consoles LMAO
@@jacksonmullen2218 the fuck are you on about
Played Elite so much throughout lockdown on xbox, when it came to the Odyssey release I was skeptical it would ever come to consoles at least old gen, then they dropped Console development after almost a year of no communication. This game has so much potential but Fdev are the only people in the way of its success... such a shame as well.
Yeah FDev soured this game severely for me, I’m still not convinced FDev can turn things around for me even though they announced that console transfer will happen.
@@OnePintJohnny I'd say they can do it, if they're careful, but it'll be a long, hard road to salvage Odyssey.
They could’ve made ground combat so much better by getting rid of the whole having to swap weapons so often, or just simply making a gun that shoots both. Also the blue part on the throttle is the spot that automatically slows you down as you get closer to your destination, and turn faster
OMFG! I'm guessing your not a previous elite dangerous player/fan because I am and I actually was not aware of this expansion, this is HUGE! It was already a game in itself that has massively deep mechanics in space exploration and ship customisation and management. Along with piracy, our ty hunting and trade, but all done from the cockpit of your ship. The fact that you can now exit the ship and explore stuff in this way has just blown starfield out of the water! I'm buzzing g and I'm going now to purchase the expansion, so nice one
i need to go back into this game 🤔 when i played, leaving your ship was a PIPE DREAM. still loved it though
I wonder if Star field will be as grindey as Elite Dangerous then.
Elite Dangerous is one of those games where, for better or for worse, straight up REQUIRES your undivided attention. The game essentially has the detail of Microsoft Flight Sim but in space. It’s grindey as all hell but there’s a reason why I have over 300 hours into it
Elite Dangerous is a niche game within a niche genre but as far as space sims go, you really can’t do any better. If you’re accustomed to more casual experiences like No Man’s Sky, then Elite Dangerous is almost guaranteed to overwhelm you. I do implore people do give it a chance but are expected to actually learn and use the game’s mechanics.
No, and if it is then you can simply cheat
@@francescoragnoni8042 Yep. I call it unbullshitting the game. Cheat Engine is a heavenly tool.
Star Field will definitely be grindy and have MTX for those who can afford to skip it
"Stow your weapon, I'm warning you"
Pulls his weapon back out
Great vid, you can always use apex taxis to travel around, you can book them at stations fork the Apex stand and then they will take you to missions. And you can order them from you suit afterwards. Takes the crashing into planets frustration away.
I really like Playing Elite and Star citizen, I would play no mans Sky too but you can only play so many Space games at once :D
You my good person, are not trying hard enough.
I would skip over NMS. If you're coming from Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen, you will be bored of NMS very quickly. I played for about 100 hours and went right back to Elite.
@@PowerofRock24 That really depends. I have put about 700 hours in NMS, and about the same as Elite ( I guess a little more since I started on console and then moved to pc version). They are different beasts. The only similarities are: space and planets.
@@StellarisIgnis I think Elite does space and spaceships to such a high quality that NMS doesn't match. I honestly hated the ships in NMS. But there is a lot to do on planets, it just seemed like a walking simulator.
Would love to see you try playing the pre-Odyssey ship based gameplay, missions, trading, mining, ship combat, etc.
As an Elite Dangerous OG I love this game. It's kind of the first big space Sim game. It also has a much more realistic and grounded experience compared to something like No Man sky (which I also love). Especially since I was a xbox gamer at the time there was just nothing like Elite Dangerous. Great game
I remember Elite on the Amiga. Started right in space, and if you had no idea what to do - like me - you were just flying endlesslymin empty space until you got bored of nothing happening. No internet then, so you were stuck with the feeling of probably missing out on an awesome game.
Well damn. Now I kinda want to play Elite Dangerous.
Don't. It's actually terrible. Odyssey killed it.
@@FullBitGamer Odyssey didn't kill it, you are just upset they didn't give you interiors for your ships.
@@FullBitGamer Doomer take. Odyssey killed nothing. You can play without the expansion.
It's a great game, I would highly recommend it
O7
Elite Dangerous is a really good game, glad to see it get more attention.
This title actually hit. Usually im watching these for games im already playing. But i actually havent played elite dangerous in a whil amd genuinely dont plan to anytime soon, so its cool to see what the new stuff looks like
Long time player here (almost 800 hours) one thing I wish they taught you was the 7 second rule for supercruise travel. When your eta hits 7 seconds to arrival while in supercruise, decelerate until your throttle hits the blue zone, and keep decelerating until you're going as slow as possible while still being in the blue zone. This means that you'll stay around 7 to 8 seconds to arrival all the way until you're close enough to drop out, and you won't get caught in a gravity well and overshoot.
Given that space and ground gameplay is separate this is way closer to what we will get with Starfield than either NMS or Star Citizen anyway..
how does that change anything?
@CadMan Fox
That changes everything
Been playing ED exclusively in VR since beta.
For PC players, play with Voice Attack. It'll add so much more depth and excitement. If you have the option for VR and a flight stick, take it. Easily one of the greatest experiences.
The downside: Odyssey VR is a problem. Once you are on foot, it project a screen to play on that kills all immersion.
If you're new, the game is worth it. There is so much to see. It's breathtaking. In VR there's a feeling of anxiety that never goes away. You're always paranoid about the next jump. It could be a black hole, a spastic neutron star, multiple dwarves/black holes, a Thargoid, or even the Salami killing space wizard. Or something nobody's ever seen before. Every jump is a risk, and you're not always guaranteed to finish the jump...
Oh, and Treasure Planet, aka Raxxla.
is it still worth it with no hotas?
My immersion is that i think im in control of a robot, so vr odyssey screen isnt broken :D
It’s so satisfying to get the flying controls in this game right. Once I figured out docking and launching it was one of my favorite things to do.
Tips of advice (Too lazy to read if it has been said yet):
The easiest way to find your target is next to the upper-left of your temp gauge (ship dash hud) there is a blue dot. Solid means in front of you, outline means behind.
To drop out of Supercruise easier, set your throttle to the top/middle of the blue bar and it will slow down on its own
I was hoping for this dlc for my PS4 and Xbox one but frontier drop development for the console version and they ain't doing nothing else for it which is pretty stupid of them
Blame MS and Sony. It's not really Fdev's fault.
@@PowerofRock24 frontier decided to drop it because they can't hire the staff specialist for Xbox and PlayStation
@@texasfalcon3611 It's for the best imo. Console is always holding PC back. I'm glad we will be getting more updates on PC now their focus is all on the PC version.
@@PowerofRock24 holding back it got everything first by months console ain't holding back that's just poor leadership and lack working from frontier
@@texasfalcon3611 You have my sympathy that you chose the wrong platform. But console is always left in the dust. It's no surprise.
this is much fun in VR
If you can, try flying around in VR, assuming you own a headset. It won't work on the ground areas (aka FPS mode), but being able to look freely around your cockpit changes everything.
Holy shit the planet dlc came out? I gotta start playing again.
Came out almost 1 year ago.
I played "Frontier: Elite 2" for years, and got nearly Elite ranking. Maxed out the best ship, and still have over 25 million bucks left. You start with only 100 bucks and a small useless ship.
Elite Dangerous. Had it in backlog for years as i haven't had the time for it.
You backlogged it for too long as they ruined it with Odyssey
@@Sylusssss I hear how Odyssey ruined the game a lot, but from what I've seen here, it looked decently accessible, like a more arcade-oriented version of Star Citizen?
@@billywashere6965 Kinda sorta, yeah. Ignore the people who are yelling that they "ruined it". People say it "ruined" the game either because it was very buggy and un-optimized on launch (which is true, but has since been mostly resolved), or because it didn't include ship interiors (which wasn't an announced feature). Some folks are also mad because the console release was cancelled.
If you enjoy Elite, you'll probably enjoy Odyssey. The on-foot FPS gameplay is definitely less simulation-y and more akin to a game like Halo, so yeah, like a more arcade-y Star Citizen. No need to worry about injuries or survival mechanics.
@@MarkZeroGaming Ah okay, thanks that makes a ton of sense and seems like a well balanced view of what's going on.😀
@@Sylusssss Such a Doomer take. They ruined nothing with Odyssey. It's completely optional content you don't have to engage with lol
You can fly in third person, you just have to bind the key for taking control of ship without leaving the camera mode. You can also play in VR after setting view to be behind your person while walking... but it will get rid of a visible UI.
just discovered your videos, love the channel dude. This game rocks too, I had never been more confused when starting a new game lol
Tried to play this game so many times. It’s one of those games that I want is badly to get into it but it’s been hard for me to get past the tutorial phase
If you can manage to tough it out for the first part of the learning curve it actually becomes really fun. edit: one of the things that made it super immersive for me is getting a flight stick with a separate throttle control. The guy at Micro Center tried to warn me about getting one of the slightly more expensive sticks with a separate throttle control rather than a tiny one integrated in to the stick itself.
The learning curve evens out the more your forge on... I spent 2 hours trying to kill the bot in the tutorial when I first started lmao. Now, even Corvettes aren't save when I drop in that conflict zone with my Vulture.
Yeah this game just seems like it is so epic. Thanks for the encouragement. Maybe I’ll give it a spin this week. Wish me luck!
@@ToyLatrine Good luck! I find that the confusion at first actually makes it much more rewarding when you get the hang of something :)
Stick with it. The learning curve is difficult, but we all started out not knowing how to play. The community is very helpful and will give you tips and some may even offer to be your mentor.
Good luck CMDR, fly safe O7
I still love Elite Dangerous.. 1300 hours in so far.
What it's interesting in it? How come you don't get bored after a while?
@@xchalibur77 It does tend to get boring/repetitive after a while. I just switch games in that case and return to it later. It's a great game to watch CZcams or Twitch while playing. 😉
@@xchalibur77 The game requires you to have good inner resourcefulness and planning. If you can't find anything to do, it's not a fault with the game. There is always plenty to do out there.
I have over 2.5k hours and still have yet to fight the Thargoids, unlock all the Guardian tech, visit the generation ships and Beagle Point, and achieve Elite V in all trades. When I get bored, I just play something else for awhile. There are still some racing ships I want to build though, so I will do that at some point.
"that's not how loans work" someone's never heard of loan sharks before lol.
Ok, I commented on Star Citizen saying you should play this; happy to see you did.
Being said, few things;
One, on your left side panel; you can activate supercruise assist. Use this to help flying.
The letters and all that have meaning. LY is light year. C mean constant or the speed of light so you can travel 0.58C or 0.58 times the speed of light. For other measurements, you’ll use the imperial system; Km is kilometers, if no notation it’s meters, and the only odd one is mms which is million meters.
It’s a lot of numbers and stuff to think about, but if you zoom out you’d see how big the map is. It’s a 1:1 of the MilkyWay. You can land on majority of planets, and you can land where ever you want. You start to realize how long it takes to run 5 kilometer.
Currently I’m out in Colonia which is 22,000LY away from the Local Bubble (where majority of the stuff happens). For scale, I’ve been flying for around a month; granted stopping here and there and scanning stuff, and I have a fulltime job but still… 22,000 light years. When I finally docked, I sold my data for over 100,000,000Cr.
“The map is massive” is an understatement. A lot of it is empty space, but even with it being mostly empty space, you find some pretty cool stuff.
It's a good game. Been playing since day 1. I recommend watching some videos about how things work.
looks pretty solid
What people don't realise it Elite has been around since 1980's, Elite came first, Elite frontier, Elite first encounters, now Elite dangerous!!
5:55 - the jump range on that Cobra though!
Must be a pre-engineered FSD v.5
Looks like I gotta get a pc
Best time for it too. GPUs are on a super sale since Crypto has fallen.
both elite dangerous and star citizen put a lot of emphasis on the space part of the game, like 80% from what i saw, and starfield i'd bet money focuses more on the ground stuff, after all, it'll be a bethesda rpg first and foremost
Fallout 4....in space. All joking aside, let's hope it is more fallout 4 and less fallout 76. That the devs do not make an arbitrary, game wrecking design decision and then stick to their guns until nobody cares anymore.
Most likely with some dpace combat missions thrown in the mix
Yeah, they've already been setting the expectation that Starfield is gonna be more about the action RPG game and less about the space game. The fact that there's any space ship content at all is pretty exciting, and I appreciate that it's there. But don't judge Starfield about whether or not it's a good space sim, because that's definitely not what they're marketing the game as.
I remember when Elite came out It took me a week to fly right then with a mouse and keyboard. Then I I bought a flight stick much later and had to learn all over and it was fun. I'm glad to see it looks a bit more accessible to a new player now. I havn't played in a while and need to jump into Odyssey.
I like that game a lot, glad you played it :)
You should've played this game first, and then later Star Citizen. Basically because ED actually has a tutorial that teaches you how to play.
problem is that the tutorial part of ED is better than the actual game... while SC has no tutorials but it's fun on it's own...
SC may not have tutorials... However it has players. I literally haven't had as much fun in a game for a while until 2 days ago. I was stuck with what to do in the game so I asked in chat. This guy gave me his discord and we hopped in a call and he showed me all the cool stuff, we went in his huge ship. Helped gear me up show me around. At one point we couldn't get into his ship because a metal pole was blocking the ramp lmao, so he had to respawn and fly his other ship down so I could go in its cargo bay and jump from it into the other ship to get it unstuck.
Also yesterday I needed an escort because my ship blew up. me and this other buddy I made were being chased by a bounty hunter so I asked if I could get a escort from the person who showed me how to play the game and he picked us up and dropped us off at a safe point.
You really get the true experience if you meet up with people in game. It's the best way to learn the game, not being stuck doing a boring tutorial while you just want to fly around and do whatever fun crap you wanna do.
Holy shit, I can't believe you got interdicted, shot at someone WITH THE STOCK SIDEWINDER, and they didn't just turn around and annihilate you. Hell of a luck, CMDR.
EDIT: I really, REALLY wish you'd zoomed out when you got to the Galactic Map though. Hearing about Elite's massive scale just doesn't click until you start zooming out, two, three, four times, only to realise you're a tiny, insignificant spec on one star system out of thousands...hundreds of thousands... in this sector of the galaxy alone. It's humbling.
true, some pirates fight back despite you having no cargo
