Are any of you looking forward to elite 4 coming out? its promising a massive universe with out of ship experience and planet landings. This could pose serious competition to eve. Time for EVE 2 to start moving i think :)

I googled 'elite 4' and all i found was a 20 line FAQ.
And whats the deal with "EVE 2", seriously this game is still going and is still at the top of the latest technology and best gfx pile, why on earth would people want to speculate about EVE 2 already? Tell me, are you itching for Doom 4 and Halflife 3 too?
Further reading of the short FAQ indicates that Elite 4 is not even planned to be an MMOG, just a SP/MP game much like Freelancer

4. Will Elite 4 be multi-player?
Both single- and multi-player versions are planned, it is now likely the single-player version will be released first.

Ian Bell has nothing to do with Elite 4 (or 2 or 3 for that matter).
Elite 4 is being done by David Braben's company Frontier Developments.

Elite 4 has been rumbling along for so long with no apparent progress, I think we'll be lucky if it ever sees the light of day.

You seem to be missing a few  there...
But if you were serious, I'm afraid I'll have to correct you...
Frontier Development had nothing to do with Jumpgate so it cannot be called or linked with Elite 4.
and fyi...

Funny to see the rumors of EVE 2 starting to fly. Two threads on 2 forums here mention it. At this stage, consideration of a sequel to EVE is in its infancy. There's a lot of stuff locked in the minds of the Dev and Content teams, just waiting for a chance to come out, stuff that will be seen in EVE.

either way, i've been hearing about Elite 4 since 1996, and it's still not here
haven't heard anything new about it for at least 5 years |

Elite IV has been allegedly in development for a quite a few years now. At one point, I believe it was even cancelled.
They have been advertisign various vacancies down at Fronier Developments over the past couple of years too. So they must be doing something...

please dont get me wrong i think this game looks very good but in reply to what NTrabbit said the technolody and gfx are nowhere near state of the art, even when eve came out the reviews commented that the gfx wouldnt push any pc above the minimum spec. If you cant turn everything up on eve with no problems then you really should get a new pc :)

Yeah FasterThanJesus (cool name btw) is right, Elite IV is allegedly in development. BUT, David Breadbin as he was known on the Elite forums, is a piece of xxxx who jealously defends his Elite patent with his life. There were a couple of promising elite games out there (nothing which would rival any modern space game - these were just fan made remakes using a modified version of the old elite engine), which got cancelled and he is notorious for not letting anything slip regarding elite. I would expect the game in many, many, many years time; and by then, EVE will hopefully be going strong, X2 will have been released, and he will have some serious competition. Mind you, with the Elite franchise, it'll probably sell by the bucketload. Funny tho, aint it? Even though I dislike Braben, I still think First Encounters is one of the best space game available (ummm once its fully patched with JJFFE of course).
