Hey it's Ricardo and welcome to a video I'm doing on alternative games to elite
dangerous as we're all waiting for chapter 4 to drop really dangerous a lot
of people been saying hey you've been playing different games you traitor what
are you doing well sometimes in an all absorbing game like elite dangerous
right will cause you to neglect or not even look outside of the box of what
else is going on in the gaming area the gaming industry is a multi-billion
dollar industry and new games are coming out all the time whether they be
completely new ideas or whether they be games that that build on a franchise and
a follower series so this video I thought I'd get together some of the
games that I'm playing talk a little bit about them look at the games that are
coming that I'm quite excited about and sort of take it from there
so I hope you enjoy it bear with me and let me know in the comments if any of
these games here are peaking your interest
yes folks its elite dangerous now we're currently on the Beyond chapter with
chapter 4 on its way any day now we've also had the
commanders we've had horizons and whatnot and the game has evolved a hell
of a lot since original Kickstarter it is an open world game or open galaxy
game shall we say it's not really a sandbox
you can't build anything at least not yet
you can traverse the galaxy and upgrade your ships and trained you can upgrade
your ships in a form of weapons and get them upgraded by engineers you can make
more money and buy more ships you can fly around and do quests and missions
you can be attacked by thyroids you can attack thyroids you can go to galaxy
sites that have been claimed by the Guardians and claim Guardian Tech to
have additional technology for your ships elite dangerous has got a long
history with in the computer community coming up back in the 80s on the BBC
micro and then is a tech spectrum and then the 16-bit computers like there we
go an Atari and then into iteration for them the PC and then hittin the consoles
with a PlayStation 4 Xbox and then the PC version as well as you can see here
graphically stunning lots of content inside it although a lot of people deem
that there should be more content and a current thing with development
developers that is currently going on but elite dangerous is a staple game and
I love it
right it's not out yet x4 foundations is the fourth iteration in the X series of
games now this is a single-player game so unlike elite dangerous although it
does share some similarities and is being deemed as how the player community
for elite would like elite dangerous to be single-player you've got the ability
to fly every ship in the game you start off with a ship you can enhance that
ship you can upgrade it you can start trading making money then you can
combine more ships we got the ability to use capital ships as well graphically so
stunning I was really surprised by this the team also boasts who created this
and it's two out for a November 2018 that there's no loading times in between
sections especially during space travel the capital ship option you can send
your ships off on the war to go and fight a war for you it was a little bit
like what's happening with no man's sky in their capital ships you can walk
around Space Station's interact with alien species you've also
got the opportunity as well to get involved in politics Oh boring is that
gonna be you just don't know deal until we
actually get our hands on the game and this footage has been released by the
developers and put on YouTube and this is what we've seen I haven't played it
yet I've pre-ordered it on Steam and when it
comes out November the twentieth twenty seven fish all I'll be taking the day
off work and I will be having a good old blast of this I do like a little bit of
space action in space combat which some of you may think well okay it into elite
dangerous he's also into x4 no surprise there it's all going to be about
floating around in space he's a writer space fanboy I suppose I am really but
we're just going to have to wait and see graphically stunning I think you know
it's making the most of all of the effing grading technologies in graphics
cards these days and I can't wait for this to happen and it's
been released now don't worry if you haven't played any of the other X Series
games I haven't and these perfectly say within this video that you don't need to
have played any other the games to get into things it stands alone it's alright
so that was X for foundations let's change up a gear what have we got next
yeah it's seven Nautica survival sandbox game you can create things you can do
the missions you can do whatever you want to do the idea is is that you're on
a spaceship you get hit by some sort of catastrophe you crash down toward water
mainly water-based planet where you have to survive given the basic materials you
then have to go and collect more materials craft additional items by
additional blueprints but hey look at the color planet palette it's completely
different to what you've seen in the previous two games and some say oh look
the space fanboy has now gone underwater it's the same not you know what it's
great it is a refreshing game I don't mean it's all in water but you get that
feeling of you know an exploration on a planet things are familiar but alien
being under the water if any of you have been I've gone scuba diving you'll find
the effects of the water and the jumping in and out of the wards are very
familiar building bases you can be as creative as you want with these bases
unlocking new blueprints with a scanner and you build tool you can craft
additional means of transport whether that be handheld propulsion devices mini
submarines or great big honking submarines like I've got here subnautica
for me is a really good game it's really refreshing to the eye
it's easy to play it's fluid I don't mean that by water but it runs really
well it's available on Xbox and PC and PC along with ps4 with other consoles
it's still in still in development for those of you who are running things on
Steam and I've got a steam controller I found it works really well and
translates really well to a larger screen television as well really really
good I've really enjoyed my time within subnautica there is a mission you can go
ahead and complete a lot of people choose some of the survival mode or
whether the open sandbox modes are creating
things and that's where they get their there in their involvement and their fun
out of the game personally I think it's great a good refresh from getting the
old lasers out and flying around in a ship yes you're floating around get a
boat or a sea or what-have-you but who cares now it's not all about being under
the sea you have got planets and land masses to explore and we'll cover that
in more subnautica videos as well DLC is inbound putting you under the ice yep
it's no man's sky next no I've had this for a while haven't really bothered
playing an awful lot of it silver next iteration came down which was recently
and they've done that an awful lot of enhancements hello games are updating
this on a weekly basis whether that be graphics updates with a recent
tessellation update for PC which had to be implemented via altering text files
on the in the code of the game prior to this update coming up but there's been
an awful lot of fixes and additions when it was officially released the 1.5
update everyone thought this is the game we actually wanted in the first place
this is fantastic you can get different ships you can trade you can craft you
confirm you can walk around on planets you can walk around on space stations
you can follow the story mode if you want to or you can just build your base
and amass as much of a personal fortune as you want you have the ability to have
capital ships the ability to build fleets and send them off on missions you
can go trolling around landscapes in EXO craft whether they be motorcycles type
of affair or for real six wheel drive EXO craft that I've included in the game
and also you've got your ship as well the story is there if you want to it'll
give you a little nudges here and there if you want to follow it but it's not
necessarily a drastic part the game you can choose to ignore it and
build a whopping great big base to impress your friends now this is
multiplayer whereas subnautica wasn't and that's fine but if you're using it
on platforms like GOG comm good ol games in a moment multiplayer is not available
we're on Steam another formats multiplayer little hearts out so there
you go everyone that's my games I'm currently playing at the moment and some
alternatives to elite dangerous while we wait for chapter 4 and other chapters to
come with us who knows where it will be it's meant to be an awful lot of content
subnautica is a great game all these games are available on Steam apart from
export cuz that's due to come out in November of this year but like I say
when it is I'll be giving it a good old playing today so do me a favor if you
haven't done so click that like and subscribe and also that notification
icon and that'll let you know what I'm putting more videos of these games are
