Well I couldn't wait, after watching a lot of Elite Dangerous game play on twitch I went and bought it on pre-order
I did hope that my current i7 laptop (thinkpad x230) would cope with basic settings so I downloaded the combat tutorial app and even running lower than 800x600 it is a joke, my poor laptop with no seperate GPU (just the cpu based hd4000 stuff) was not up to it in the slightest. So....I've bought a new gaming laptop, sorry, I mean development laptop ![]() ![]() I didn't bother going for 3K / 4K screen, I figured I'd use the difference in the price to purchase a separate 29" super wide monitor for at home later on instead. Who needs more than 1920 x 1080 on a 15" laptop screen anyway! Roll on the 18th!

Yeah the reviews put me off a bit too. That and the big price for the pc download. The maps look huge! I'll probably wait for the price to drop

The map Is our galaxy with a few assumptions...400 billion star systems...it will take a while to navigate. The devs even calculated and placed where voyager would be in year 3300 and it's since been found
![]() As for the graphics and gameplay I'm not sure what the reviewers are on but I think it's great. They're probably basing all this comparing to Star Citizen that will not be out for a very long time and need a super computer to run well! There have been a few issues post updates in gamma testing and they'll likely be a few more on release but the devs are doing an outstanding job getting issues ironed out and once everything settles it'll be trouble free I'm sure. To be fair I am biased as I love the elite series having played the original as a kid, the game concept is spot on. Get onto twitch and watch some gameplay to see for yourself! edit: I WILL be getting an Oculus Rift once they're properly released...that as well as using something like a Saitek X55 and Voice Attack based controls will be insane!
