Links & the Like
- Elite Dangerous dropped another dot-patch yesterday and a roadmap today. In patch news, it was either two steps forward and one step back, or one step forward and two steps back – depending on who you ask. In roadmap news, well, it’s not really a roadmap. And it’s not a signpost either. It’s an itinerary. In other words, it’s a list of places they’d like to go and times that they think they will show up there. It’s distinctly lacking in description of how they will get there or what they will do once they arrive. I think Guard Frequency is going to officially make “roadmap” a “red flag” word like “early access” and “time-share.”
- Star Citizen has Bengals and Greycats and Lightnings, oh my! And while Elite Dangerous has interstellar taxis now, CIG has flying buses – well, it WILL have flying buses.
- No Man’s Sky sneaks in another update, this one is called Prisms. That’s probably because this patch is mostly visual improvements. But there’s also the flying pets, sick beats, and pages of bug fixes. I hope FDev is paying attention.
