"Twenty years on, almost to the day, since the ground-breaking original emerged on the BBC Micro Computer - and nearly a decade since the most recent in the Elite series launched into deepest space - it somehow seems an apt time to be asking David Braben about a new Elite game." http://tinyurl.com/4tsxf 2006, six years in development.

Elite 4 is Elite. Yeah, true. No need to hurry with it. Hell, I still play Elite on my BBC B. That and Exile on the BBC kinda showed how to really produce a ground breaking game that squeezed everything possible out of what memory and space was available at the time in an efficient manner. Would be good if all PC games followed this plan nowadays.

I'd be happy if they didn't settle for mass producing sh.t :) You still play Elite on the BBC? - man you are die-hard. :) > In the bedlam that is alt.games.half-life > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > :) Well I still scamper back to it when I get shot to pieces in CS:Source, getting better though... To be honest though I moved forward in life and play it on an emulator since moving a couple of months ago and really not being arsed to bother setting it up again. Where will this madness end hey.

Almost like reading a book compared to seeing a film. I think that is very difficult to reproduce today.

The trading was intuitive and rewarding. The scale was unique for it's day. The gameplay was diverse. And that's on the most basic level. A true classic amongst classics. Maybe I should elevate higher up my top ten. Oh wait, I can't. http://www.rozin-online.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/games/games.htm > In the bedlam that is alt.games.half-life > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > http://www.rozin-online.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/games/games.htm u left out robocop ROFL -- "Red lolly, yellow lolly,Red lolly, yellow lolly" In the bedlam that is alt.games.half-life Builder? proclaimed... > u left out robocop ROFL Everyone knows that was a classic film, not a classic PC game.

That's fine if you like flight sims but personally I prefer the simple method. |
