hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous and elite dangerous odyssey
so it's all coming down to this frontier have released their official elite dangerous
odyssey trailer uh which we're going to take a little look at in slow motion and why not
certainly everyone's getting quite excited about it and getting quite eager to see what it's going
to be like in full release never mind the alpha we've just been to so let's take a look at it
in slow motion okay so straight off the bat we're getting some idea of the planetary technology that
we're going to be seeing inside the game all this done with in-game footage as well
one of the first things that struck me is the lighting and the shadow effect something that
you know wasn't quite tuned in when we saw the alpha and and the lighting is sort of like picked
up in this aspect as well look at the shadowing against the planets and the planetary rings
absolutely great and you get a little a little glimpse at some of the planetary technology
look at these boulders the cracks on the floor as well a little bit of fauna off to the right
hand side nice sun in the background that's a picture postcard if ever i saw it wish you were
here and we will be later on this week well with any luck anyway uh sorry console commanders gotta
keep saying sorry to you guys so again another nice planet good bit of shadowing overhead
you know that was a crate was at the shadow from the crate not entirely sure so they really
are showcasing the planetary technology which is going to be a big aspect of this and what we saw
as well in the announcement earlier on today is that frontier uh are going to be given the
planetary technology and graphical enhancements after the to all horizons players once the
console version has been released there's a big thing as well in showcasing in my aspect of this
uh all the settlements in the first person shooter aspect of this is going to be absolute key
and they have to get it right the graphics are certainly look very very crisp on this as well you
know i mean a lot of it was shredded in darkness just look at the texturing and the shading there
i think you know they really have sort of stepped it up and of course we didn't see much shading and
color in the alpha really it was all very dark at least i thought it was anyway showcasing the
planetary tech that's what we've seen so far and you know does look wonderful now we actually get
to see a ship we've got a mamba now is this a mamba mamba or is this this mamba light
people have been going on about in the community who knows but on approach to a station
there's the same mamba little bit of continuity as well as we're going through this trailer which
is good you can see it coming over the nice reflection we've seen also on the the glass
as the ship flies over it and again we've got the bar and the waiting rooms slightly different
layout or different angle we saw that to be perfectly honest i haven't seen that angle before
and here we've got our commander going on towards looks like a sidewinder that was
and then of course we've got some of the other alliance ships as well so as mean as a showcase
trailer it's exactly what it is we're seeing an awful lot of the aspects that we saw in the alpha
so far absolutely no surprises i mean in regards to the fauna that we're gonna see on planets and
the sampler the little sampler scanner that we've had we know the game play on that has changed
to what extent we don't really know we are giving a brief glimpse at this a little bit later on in
the trailer but you know there are going to be more species of plants here's an srv no new srv
there so far but you know two trundling along our planet and here we are up close and personal with
a bit of fauna he's got his sampler out and there you go there's a sweeping sample in sample mode
and hopefully they've got rid of that annoying mini game as well so a lot of
fauna that we haven't seen because we were quite limited in regards to the alpha uh and hopefully
everyone's going to go out there and do a good bit of sampling not sure if it's really my bag
but we'll give it a go anyway so we've got different aspects of stations and outposts
footprints on the floor if you can see that just by our commander
he's going off to peer over this mountain side to draw his gun and then start a ground assault
and we've got people in each of the suits got a crashed srv now we've seen this on
a planet as a good in in-game set piece you can gain materials from that by cutting open
some of the srv patches which is really important of course you've got the settle
alarms as well the panels the panels were disabled in the latter parts of the alpha
you know and i'm quite looking forward to going in there and being able to vent all the atmosphere
in buildings and turning turrets off as well we're getting a glimpse now at the plasma weapon
i mean the plasma weapons do seem to be the the weapon of choice
everyone was saying about because the npcs were wielding them with such sort
of like ferocious accuracy during the alpha everybody wanted to get their hands on one
we've got cutting into into cupboards
picking up all the materials as well we're going to need for engineering of our suits and weapons
turning power on turning power off all those espionage aspects of the game
that you know i've been looking forward to i've been missing since the alpha finished we
really are lacking a few things though aren't we like you know a multi-crew srv
that sort of thing so you can have it waiting round the corner to pick you and your buddies up
the dreaded fire inside stations there's a guy busting a rocket off against that vulture
and grenades and we all know how much i love grenades in this game hopefully the balance
between weapons and ships and grenades has been balanced out because some of that was a little
bit lacking in the alpha but that's what alphas are for nice good shot there of a federation
corvette flying overhead and then a cobra flying over as well so all in all quite a good
advert for the game i think to be perfect i think it's touched on virtually every aspect that's new
and they want to showcase and what more could we possibly ask for obviously frontier must
have something up their sleeve or sleeves is it plural and i hope they do and hopefully it'll get
released over time for the next couple of months as well so not to spoil the surprise for all the
console commanders but either way that was the elite dangerous odyssey official trailer and
