A "preview" version of the game for Xbox One was later released via the Xbox Game Preview Program in June during Microsoft's briefing at the Electronic Entertainment Expo , and was fully released in October , while a PlayStation 4 version was released on 27 June Gameplay Upon its release in , Elite Dangerous began in year and has been in sync with UTC albeit years in the future.
The game is set around 45 years after Frontier: First Encounters. Elite Dangerous retains the basic premise of previous games — players start with a spaceship and a small amount of money in an open galaxy and role-play in various activities to acquire more money and merit.
These activities include trading, mining, exploration, bounty-hunting, piracy and assassination. The game is the first in the series to feature online multiplayer with access to a massively multiplayer persistent world called Open Play, as well as an online-only single player mode. Open Play gameplay is similar to Eve Online in that many actions that would be considered griefing in other multiplayer games are generally permitted, as long as there is a valid roleplaying reason e.
However, some actions, such as "mob mentality" persecution of players, exploiting mechanics of the game such as quitting the game in the middle of a fight to avoid death , and swearing are not allowed, and could result in a ban from the main server. Within the virtual galaxy, the player can explore some billion star systems complete with planets and moons that rotate and orbit in real time, reflecting dynamic day-night cycles.
Around , of the game's star systems are taken from real astronomical data, while a few partially fictional planetary systems, which were created in Frontier and First Encounters before a significant number of exoplanets were discovered, are carried over. For example, none of the gas giants of the Fomalhaut system correspond with the detected properties of Fomalhaut b. The open galaxy that you get to explore in Elite Dangerous is truly amazing.
You can literally explore wherever you want to and that right there is the beauty of this game. Its large open galaxy allows you to go anywhere you want and in all honesty, it can be rather daunting. Elite Dangerous does start with a handy tutorial that explains how you pilot your ship, but after this, you are on your own. In this galaxy, there are a lot of things for you to do. I played the game more as a tradesman. Going on different journeys, taking things from one place to another and making money that way.
I did also dabble in a little bit of bounty hunting which was fun and helped change things up a bit and keep me from getting bored. If you want you can just play as a space pirate. Instead of getting your own items to trade and sell, you can stalk others, steal their stuff and then take it to a shady dealer to sell it for yourself.
