Silence. Those ships make hyperjumps and not rubbish gate-sector design of now common games. Also in "Frontier" he simulated NOT a planet with some space stations. We talking about simulating a GALAXY. Stellar body orbits and so on... yeah... i would love a spacesim that aims at realistic enviroment. They just do not do it this way anymore.

I was born with Elite II . You give me the Possibility to explore Sirius and Alpha Centauri. You give us the Possibility fly to the Stars. I have seen "gigantic attack Ships on Fire....." :)

I have seen the Colors of Space. Now i am a old Guy and my Dreams are grey.

Please David let our Dreams come true. Please David give me back the Colors. Give us a new Elite.

Shame he is wasting his talent on child and casual games... :/

Rockstar Aught to have a word in his shell like ear (remember the environment In Red dead Redemption ?) with that and Mr Braben game play , he'd be writing his own cheque out

BRING BACK ELITE PPPLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSS !!

Good video. I'm just yet another person waiting for elite iv. Please do make that game. I grew up playing frontier on the CD32 and A500 and PC (and the first elite) with friends. We are all modern gamers these days. It would be great to see elite made available on steam so that it can be played on linux so that our hardware can last as long as the game this time. But even if you only release it on consoles and ms windows, we'd still buy it loads!

Thanks for giving us all these awesome moments and memories with the Elite series, Dave! (and if you make elite 4, I'll buy as many copies as it takes! :D )

@leerees Does anyone know the author and name of the song in the background?

Hi David I just want to say thankyou for this game. I didn't get my copy of Elite until 1996 but when I did I played it for nearlly a decade. I loved the stock market part of elite, so much in fact that it inspired me to persue a career in stock trading, Elite changed my life and I really do hope you make Elite 4 an MMO version, that would be so much fun.

Most spacegames now let you build empires, factories etc. like X-universe etc. But I don`t want that, I just wanna fly, maybe repair my ship myself maybe, walk through it. maybe land on planets and find criminals myself in bars, while driving through cities on planets. I don`t wanna be a multinatonal, I want to be a pilot, maybe firefly style. Connected online so

you can actually truely hail ships etc and request help. Ah well, it isn`t coming

the playingfield is layed. A dream evaporated

For God's sake David, MAKE ELITE 4!!!!! How many fans have to scream for this before you do it?
