i tried the 20GB "tech" demo for the pax people and it's really cool...just not on my hardware.
the game is so detailed that it barely runs on my geforce GTX 760 FTW edition. elite: dangerous i can actually max the forget out on, though it needs more to do than trading and combat (mining is essentially a minigame until 1.3 which sounds interesting, but not enough for me to open the game again)
for a $70 million dollar budget, they're really taking their time on this and i'm excited to see what chris roberts and RSI have in store for this.
