Elite: Dangerous
Elite Dangerous is gearing up for an “unannounced Q4 feature” through a Community Goal preparing for starport construction near HIP 87261. The system has been permit locked, except for a character named Lexi October and a missing exobiologist named Terri Tora. And because there seems to be PowerPlay 2.0 implications for the permit locked system during the month of October, we salute the lore writers for their naming choices. Back in the old days, we’d look forward to seeing more details as the CG winds up at the end of the month during the Frontier Unlocked livestream, but we’re not holding our breaths.
Star Citizen
Star Citizen released Early Access Pre-Alpha Release Candidate Prototype Experimental Test Build Alpha 4.3.2 10452200 to the LIVE server. And the Hotfix system has been activated for off-cycle patches because the inventory system has once again gone nuts and Wikelo has been closed for renovations and audits and a sewer flush. Also, it was CitizeCon Lite last Saturday and I’ll tell you all about it, because I definitely paid attention to all two hours of the riveting feature-length episode of Inside Star Citizen. And, unfortunately, Tony has a whole bunch of financial stuff to talk about AGAIN.
The New Kids on the Block
Voyager: Into the Unknown released a demo and it has all the makings of a great money-making mobile game. The Outer Worlds 2 is finally coming out on October 29, but if you pay extra, you can play it on October 24. If there’s anything we are experts at here at the show, it’s paying way too much for space-themed video games, so pay attention to this next bit.
Community Questions
- Is Outer Worlds 2 going to fall victim to their “Fallout New Vegas” comparison?
- Are we finally going to see some movement on the Raxxla story in Elite Dangerous?
