In the subject
For a long time we did not write about this games like this! Elite: Dangerous is a multiplayer space simulator with a five-year history. What does he represent today? In this review, we will not just dive into exciting adventures, and literally take off, leaving the earth far behind. We are waiting for the open world (and what else could be space, yes?), A high-quality plot, a lot of dangers and not less than all-absorbing beauty of the universe. But even there, in the uncharted expanses, we will have to deal with human ruthlessness, earn an authority, money and in general - to play survival. Let's start.
Peace
Events in Elite: Dangerous can vary depending on the actions of any of the players, but the central invariably remains the attacks of targets on people and intrafraction conflicts. Each fraction has its own internal associations: we can join any and any of them. In Elite: Dangerous players decide everything: the stroke of the plot on each stage depends on us. The game provides us with yourself: literally throws into space on the ship, which is still needed to master, and then we get into free swimming, in the course of the case, getting more and more knowledge and skills. There is no time to yawn and there is no place for error: each action leads to a change in further events and changes the story. So, we find yourself in the center of the Galaxy Milky Way, we can say, we are at home. Here more than one and a half hundred thousand objects that were created by manually by meticulous developers jewelers.
He worked and artificial intelligence, with which 400 billion stars, systems and other objects were also created: in space, there is nothing. This is what we see in beautiful scientific programs, in pictures from satellites, in a telescope, only now we are directly inside all this dangerous beauty: nebula, planets, clusters of stars ... If you are fascinating the physics of our world and you would like to get closer To her close, many hours travel through the universe you will definitely like. It is not necessary to expect from Elite: dangerous classic "entertainment", the main activity here is the journey through space.
Yes, there is here and place to conflict: the economic, financial, armed, in which the players will be involved separately and entire fractions. And on the way, unusual phenomena and the objects we have not seen will always be met ... We will also get the opportunity to disembark on different planets, and it is possible that inhabited: at least we will have strained dates with representatives of the ancient alien Targoida. This is implemented thanks to the extension of Odyssey, which will be released this year and will make it possible to perform interplanetary scales, provided that these planets have a more or less suitable atmosphere. We can also be able to directly manage their character. The most interesting thing is that the Universe Elite: Dangerous is so immense that even a steam-operated flight does not open the players of all secrets, which invented the developers: this game is almost infinite.
Simulation
From the very beginning, Elite: Dangerous puts us in front of the educational task: we need to learn to drive a spacecraft right in the management process. It's not as simple as it seems, but by way and errors, in practice, this can be done for the first hour of the game. Management is possible both from the keyboard and with the joystick but the second, of course, more convenient. If nothing comes out, there is a training material that is attached to the game. All space ships are different, but equally comfortable in management and combat. Each system can also be reduced. For a better understanding of the external situation, the projection of external sounds is working inside the cockpit of the pilot: we hear the sounds of other ships, explosions of objects and other concomitant war.
Fights, trade and craft
Two activity that accompany us during Elite: Dangerous. Trade includes the search and resale of goods, transportation of passengers, the production of resources in asteroid fields, performing various tasks. Players mined fossil minerals for which they receive payment, but other goods to extract themselves most often do not have: they can simply get and resell. It is fair to note that each of these processes is decorated with love and fantasy: the details accompany us in any form of activity, as well as beautiful music that complements the atmosphere.
During the war, we will fight with spacecraft, which can manage other players or bots. These are not easy battles, where actions are performed on the machine, here you need to be as focused and actually thought out, but very quickly. Kraft lovers and build can disappear the fact of the lack of such a type of activity. Something we will create from the mined materials, but it will not be possible to apply your hand to the equipment and spacecraft.
In conclusion
Elite: Dangerous can deservedly be called one of the best space simulators today. It is clear that such a genre is not suitable for everyone, and someone will call space with a boring emptiness, which is furious by clock, exhausted by all sorts of trouble. Well, interested in space and science as a whole will receive an endless mass of pleasure from passing, especially since all objects are completed taking into account physical laws and exist in reality, and not fiction: it is +100 to interesting. Nevertheless, despite the beauty and peacefulness of the space, when it comes to a political or economic conflict, it is not bored anyone.
If it happened to be involved in battle with another ship, the voltage does not leave until the latter. In addition, if the enemy's vessel does not control the bot, and the other player, the battle becomes the most unpredictable and difficult, because the actions of the person on the other side of the screen are due only to his personal considerations and skills. Taking part in such a war at least once, the language would not turn to say that the game is not good enough: in the still waters, devils are found. So, friends, we hope that you intrigued you on the full program and inspired to go personally to test Elite: Dangerous. When will we still come to make such a realistic cosmic flight?
