Elite co-creator David Braben has confirmed that Elite IV will be released after his political adventure game The Outsider hits shops in 2009. Speaking at the Develop conference taking place in Brighton, Develop is reporting that Braben said Frontier Developers is close to finalising the technology behind the game. He admitted that the title has had a stop-start production, claiming Frontier keeps testing technology and rejecting it. Braben said Elite IV was a "really ambitious project." At this point, we don't care if it's a clone of Pong. We just want a new Elite game, David.

i loved first encounters, but was far too buggy to be a great game. let's hope the next one is better

I thought this was about Pioneer.

Yes first encounters was great, though a bit (ok a lot) buggy. What impressed me was that it had (if i remember correctly) seamless transitions between space and a planet surface. I dont think any other game had that.


Seeing that i want to play X games again. I newer really got into them but i would need some merchant practice if i wan to play elite again
