[edit] More information
someone should extend this article with all available information. the elite games were the best i ever played. they were more fun as todays mmorpg games. --84.59.88.251 10:52, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, Elite was -- and still is -- the best space sim. Ever. Further, to blame the communications industry when the reality is that one is simply being a lazy programmer is the worst cop-out I've read .. like, ever. How much stuff is Braben sending over the 'net? C'mon, Conflict: FreeSpace and the likes did flawless multiplayer space combat in 1997/98. That's pretty soon a decade ago. Ridiculous. --Tirolion 12:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Uh, it does include all available information. That's why it gets called vapourware.
There is an interesting interview with David Braben over at http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6162140.html?tag=latestnews;title;2 that has some new information that should be put into the main article.
- While I am the first to admit that software can take a long time to develop, I'm just wondering whether there in 2012 will be any interest amongst the general game playing populace -- with an average age of 13 -- in a title that initially came out 15 years before they were born. --Tirolion 08:12, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- Why do you think the average age should fall? I expect it instead to rise, as more and more people who grew up playing video games don't stop playing when they are adults. -- Bhaak 09:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Nah, I wasn't implying that the average would fall, I'm merely -- in a roundabout way -- pointing out that there's a 28(!!) year gap between the first and last part in a series. Twentyeight years. Unless there will be some "unforeseen events that will postpone the release date". BENOFTMUE and that, y'know. --Tirolion 18:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- The generally acknowledged average age of gamers is 33 years of age, and it is steadily rising. In 2007, 92 percent of computer game buyers and 80 percent of console game buyers were over the age of 18. See for yourself at http://www.theesa.com/facts/top_10_facts.php. I have no idea where the "13 years" statistic came from, I've never heard of that as an average age on anything. Icemotoboy (talk) 03:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- The only reference to the "13 year average age" is from a Your Sinclair article that came out at the same time as the original game. 128.214.133.2 (talk) 08:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
