The entire overall narrative is controlled by the players and their actions.Įlite: Dangerous includes ‘out of the box’ support for 4K ultra-high definition, 3D TV, Track IR and Oculus Rift VR for those with appropriate hardware. Elite offers a connected full-scale recreation of our Milky Way galaxy where players use their own starships in a struggle to defeat and takeover the Emperor in the year 3300, an in-game story event that launches alongside the game.

Much like Scrolls coming in when Magic: The Gathering and Blizzard's Hearstone are proving the card game market to be super popular, Elite: Dangerous couldn't come at a better time with PC games thriving, space sims making an epic comeback and excitement for VR technology at a fever pitch. These are two high profile, highly anticipated and awesome-looking titles of two completely different genres. Oddly enough, Scrolls also had a "launch trailer" last year but below is the real one since it's actually now available in full. Since the indie company was acquired by Microsoft alongside the Minecraft IP, there have been a few pro-consumer changes to trading card game, namely its massive price drop and focus on supporting equalized cross-platform play across PC and mobile devices. Mojang's long-in-development Scrolls is finally releasing in full as well.
That's not the only cool video game release to look forward to before 2014 comes to an end. To celebrate, Frontier has released the official Elite: Dangerous launch trailer featuring Royal Blood’s ‘Out Of The Black’ track. Even existing players get the bonus credits too. As the crowdfunded Elite: Dangerous prepares for its full release on December 16th, developer Frontier Developments happily announced that there will be no wipe of that beta progress.īetter yet, as players jump into the new title, the starting amount of currency has increased tenfold. If you've been participating in the Elite: Dangerous beta program to test out the gorgeous space sim - and perhaps, its Oculus Rift VR support - then everything you've accomplished in the game to date still counts.
