Nice one, will this game be at retail at all or is this digital only?
I have downloaded the preview trial version but have yet to try it, so I guess I better get on it soon!
I didn't find anything concrete, but there isn't any mention of a disc release in any E:D article I checked. It makes sense, considering the PC version is digital only. (I think)
i want to know the release date of Horizons for X1. Frontier just keeps saying no info. I guess they are concentrating on getting the PC version out.
I'm an E:D fan and I own both the pc and console versions. The game really needs a few major UI fixes though. I understand they take pride in the learning curve of the game, but it annoys the crap out of me to have use external sites to actually play the game efficiently.
Its already grindy enough as is. Another issue I have with the game is the course plotting and the system map. Its set in the future where faster than light travel is available, but they dont have GPS like technology to remember the course you have travelled or the ability to put notes on the map for systems? Its stupid frustrating having to write down names of systems since there millions of them and they have really similar long drawn out names with one letter or number different but could be on the other side of the galaxy. Another issue is the Galnet news should actually provide hyperlinks to the system map so you can read a story, click the link and see where that system is. And the powerplay system is just poorly designed. There should also be some sort of commodities market like like an intergalactic E*Trade in the game. Instead of just hauling stuff from point A to B let us influence the pricing by doing it. I think it was just lazy development on their part.
The game would be so much more enjoyable if they added just these simple things.
Cool I already bought it through early access, loving the game so far. I agree the controls definitely take some getting used to, feels very much like a sim.
