Elite: Dangerous

Yeah, the Oculus Rift is tempting. Especially as everyone says it works so well with this game. Frontier Developments decided very early on that they would support it, so they've had it in mind for most of the design process. I will definitely wait for the retail version though. Then there's Sony's Project Morpheus, which people say has both advantages and disadvantages when compared to Oculus Rift. Now Sony has said that they don't intend to support PC with it, but I expect someone will hack up a PC driver whithin a day of its release. Really tempted to get one of them for Elite.

The folk at Beex (http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.co...d76a&start=480) are enjoying it, one guy has tried with an Oculus dev kit and the posh joystick and was quite positive.

I have to admit, the thought of a space shooty fly game is even quite appealing to me but I simply don't have the time or the money to upgrade my PC to anywhere near the required standard. But still, I'm quite curious about E

I understand in addition to the PC Windows release the game will also be coming out on Mac and later for Linux, so the system spec requirements might be lower and allow those with older hardware to enjoy the game. Would be good if that is true.

...I don't think there will be that much to do on a planet ....

Well, you can have a space station, something like a planet station.. so, buildings, radars, cities, so many stuff...
And is fun to dive into a planet and go land in a base. That was one of main things elite did that all other games (most of them) never did.

Someone uploaded a video where they perform som cool smuggling stunts. Remember how you only needed to worry about getting caught while trying to sell smuggled goods, how there was little risk actually flying around and docking with the stuff? Well smuggling has become a somewhat more tense affair as you can see here. Obviously some places are more heavily guarded than others, but the fact that this can be realistically pulled off if you're skilled enough without resorting to exploits says something about the level of detail at work here. Speaking of which, this is the latest beta so there are more details and effects at work now than there was in those earlier videos.
