Talk:Elite 4
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
someone should extend this article with all available information. the elite games were the best i ever played. they were more fun as todays mmorpg games. --84.59.88.251 10:52, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, Elite was -- and still is -- the best space sim. Ever. Further, to blame the communications industry when the reality is that one is simply being a lazy programmer is the worst cop-out I've read .. like, ever. How much stuff is Braben sending over the 'net? C'mon, Conflict: FreeSpace and the likes did flawless multiplayer space combat in 1997/98. That's pretty soon a decade ago. Ridiculous. --Tirolion 12:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Uh, it does include all available information. That's why it gets called vapourware.
There is an interesting interview with David Braben over at http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6162140.html?tag=latestnews;title;2 that has some new information that should be put into the main article.
- While I am the first to admit that software can take a long time to develop, I'm just wondering whether there in 2012 will be any interest amongst the general game playing populace -- with an average age of 13 -- in a title that initially came out 15 years before they were born. --Tirolion 08:12, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- Why do you think the average age should fall? I expect it instead to rise, as more and more people who grew up playing video games don't stop playing when they are adults. -- Bhaak 09:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Nah, I wasn't implying that the average would fall, I'm merely -- in a roundabout way -- pointing out that there's a 28(!!) year gap between the first and last part in a series. Twentyeight years. Unless there will be some "unforeseen events that will postpone the release date". BENOFTMUE and that, y'know. --Tirolion 18:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
