Elite: Dangerous is a forthcoming space adventure, trading and combat simulator that will be the fourth instalment in the Elite video game series. As with the last two games in the series, the player explores a realistic 1:1 scale open world galaxy, based on the real Milky Way, that's as scientifically accurate as possible in a spaceship, and the gameplay is open-ended. The game will be the first in the series to feature massively multiplayer gameplay, with players' actions affecting the narrative story of the game's persistent universe, while also retaining single player options. It is the direct successor to Frontier: First Encounters, the third game in the Elite series, released in 1995.
Having been unable to agree to a funding deal with a publisher for many years, the developer began its Kickstarter campaign in November 2012. Early-access versions of the game have been playable by backers since December 2013. The full game is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Gameplay
Elite: Dangerous retains the basic premise of previous games - players start with a spaceship and a small amount of money and make their own way in an open galaxy, furthering themselves either legally or illegally, through trading, bounty-hunting, piracy and assassination. Braben has described the game as a mix of the original Elite and the sequels Frontier: Elite II and Frontier: First Encounters, describing it as closer to the sequels in terms of the way that the galaxy is as scientifically accurate as possible but with the "visceral and seat-of-the-pants" combat of the original Elite., while retaining the realistic Newtonian underpinnings. Braben has said that most of the "brutal realism" of Frontier will continue: "The real galaxy and so on. For the combat model we are doing more fly-by-wire than in Frontier, but this is to improve the feel of the game; the realism is still there. Don’t forget there was fly-by-wire in Frontier too."
In Elite: Dangerous, the player will be able to explore a 1:1 scale Milky Way galaxy of around 400 billion star systems, complete with 1:1 scale planets and moons that rotate and orbit in real-time, resulting in dynamic day/night cycles, based on procedural generation according to real scientific models, of which around 150,000 star systems are taken from real-world astronomical data.
Updates to the game will allow the player to seamlessly freeform land on 1:1 scale planets with cityscapes, as in the last two Elite games Frontier: Elite II and Frontier: First Encounters, and walk around in first person perspective on entire surfaces of populated, living planets, with wildlife and go big-game hunting, "chasing big dinosaurs around", and "have vehicles you can drive around on the surface" and stash cargo there you will also be able to perform Zero-G first-person shooter combat, boarding and other interactions with other players and NPCs inside ships, combat and other interactions with other players and NPCs in the internal areas of space stations, and space-walk around the exterior of ships to effect repairs. Other planned updates will allow players to operate ships with multiple players, and make available giant ‘executive control’ capital ships to players.
Elite: Dangerous features a massively multiplayer, persistent universe, but also has single player options, here a development video showing Braben dodging enemy fire from a colleague. The actions of players will affect the narrative story of the wider galaxy within the game, such as the type of missions/quests that will generated by the event system. The developers have often noted how the previous games lend themselves naturally to modern online gaming - for example, destroying an innocent ship has always led to a criminal record and to police attention in systems rich enough to afford law enforcement, which would provide a powerful anti-griefing mechanism in a multiplayer game. The developers have also considered allowing players to play within small, trusted groups, so that any in-game encounters are only drawn from that group.
Elite: Dangerous will be set in the year 3300, around 45 years after the events of Frontier: First Encounters, the previous game in the series. The Thargoids, the warlike, insectoid aliens from the original game, are due to make an appearance.
Development
Elite 4 was to be the third sequel to 1984's Elite, a game that David Braben and his former associate, Ian Bell, wrote for the BBC Micro computer, and ported to most other platforms of the day. At the 2011 Game Developers Conference, Braben presented a post-mortem discussing the development of Elite. The final question in the Q&A section asked if Elite 4 was still on the drawing board and he replied "yes, it would be a tragedy for it not to be."
The project, referred to as Elite 4, had difficulty in finding funds, which Braben has attributed to the traditional publishing model, which he sees as being biased against games which have no recent predecessors. Discussing crowdfunding in April 2012, Braben said he had considered doing "something along those lines". In November 2012, a few days after Kickstarter went live in the UK, Frontier Developments announced that the game was now named Elite: Dangerous, and would be funded on that site, aiming to raise £1.25m and deliver a game in 18 months, by March 2014. The Kickstarter project remained open for 60 days, and rewards included a digital copy of the game, standard and premium boxed copies, a T-shirt, and access to alpha and beta test versions of the game. Funding was also made possible through the game's website, via PayPal. By April 2014, the campaign had raised £1.7m, and Braben had reacquired the rights to the Elite franchise.
Elite: Dangerous is being developed using Frontier Development's own in-house COBRA game development engine. The engine was developed prior to the Kickstarter project. In October 2013, it was announced that the game would officially support the Oculus Rift VR headset.
The game was originally due for delivery on PC in March 2014. A playable alpha version of the game was released to certain Kickstarter backers in December 2013. In May 2014, Frontier Developments announced the fourth phase of Alpha testing was underway for the game. The latest Alpha build offered players a more expanded game world with more scale, scope and depth. On 30 May 2014, Frontier Developments officially launched the "Premium Beta" phase of Elite Dangerous. It incorporated all major features added during the alpha phase and focused primarily on testing the systems and servers with a greater number of players. The game entered its Beta 1 phase on July 29, 2014.
In a June 2014 interview Braben was unable to give a specific delivery date for the full game, but said that it would be released in 2014. A newsletter from the developers has given a planned release date for the full game on Windows PC as the fourth quarter of 2014. and a Mac OS X release 3 months after.
Releases to other platforms
During the Kickstarter, Frontier Developments was asked a lot about potential releases on other platforms, which resulted in them answering that they are interested in porting the game to other platforms, but that the PC version is priority. During Kickstarter they also added a stretch goal for the Mac OS X version which was reached. Later when asked about availability, they have responded that the OS X version will be released in about three months time after the retail release of the Windows version, and that work has been started on porting the game using their COBRA framework to OS X.
David Braben has also answered questions about a potential Linux port to Tux Radar, Linux Format magazine web portal. In an interview, while not confirming a Linux port, he said that the Linux platform is something they are seriously looking at to support and that there is no reason why COBRA, Frontier Developments' own game engine, can’t run on Linux, running through OpenGL.
Regarding the potential of porting the game to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, David Braben has said in an interview to Eurogamer that they will evaluate releases to other platforms, including consoles and it would be "stupid not to", citing Frontier Developments' expierence with developing games for various platforms.
