So. Extremely. Good.

But... The music could have been done better, you should work together with the guy who made the other intro vid ^^

Yeah I think I sent a PM to his account a while back asking if I could use the music but didn't get a response. Also thanks, glad you liked it.

elite 2 is the best game iv ever played. david braben did say they did start making number 4 but stopped. he then said that they will/might start after they finish outrider

[theinquisitor]

We live in hope. If Elite 4 is half as ground breaking and ahead of it's time as the other games were, then it will be amazing.

This game definately needs to be remade.

You can't compare EVE to Frontier, they are totally different. Elite has a full newtonian flight system along with a massive procedurally generated galaxy.

In terms of galaxy size Eve is about 1% the size of Frontier, perhaps a lot smaller. Its also a point and click game.

Great video, terrible music almost ruins it though.

Fail video is fail.

@zodiacie : these pictures are fantastic, I dream of such a remake. False or true ??

@theinquisitor These games are not just ahead of their time. They're ahead of our time too. If Elite IV happens, which seems more like a dream now, it merely has to remake FFE on a modern engine with some fancy new toys and it'll be ahead of it's time.

@ceffydriver Damn you to Hades! Blast your eyes! The Amiga frame rate was better than 1000 Alien Wares! No - it was more powerful than a Quantum Computer the size of the Universe! (er, well it seemed like it at the time - sort of..)

[andy7666]

@Silichip Oh well.. Maybe 2011? Or 2012 after the apocalypse?

[andy7666]

Looks amazing.. I think the music needs to be a bit more powerful, a bit more "oompf" but it looks really, really good.. Whoever made this remake are geniuses!

[theinquisitor]

@MindstormXL, no way, not a chance. It was written in assembly code. That's how badass David Braben is. I can barely manage C#. However, an OpenGL version has been made, called glFrontier. Graphics are much the same, higher resolution though.

Has it really been 3 years? Have I been spending too much time in hyperspace or what?

@theinquisitor

I know this is quite awhile after the vid you posted and everything since it was 3 years ago and everything but do you think that if you had the code you could make Elite 2s graphics look like that intro?

The music in the orginal amiga animation was much better. Rest is amazing, but without that orginal music it is not he same... maybe try to remix rthe orginal and all will be superb.
