Don't you just hate it when a Space starfish manned by a crazy aliens species grabs you out of hyperspace and shuts off your ship to glow at you and then leave
GreatSwordOfVictory there was a interview ages ago when one of the Devs said out aliens and there was a pan down of destroyed ships and cut out in what I think is the command room of that starfish ship and Thier is a glimpse of one of the alien heads.
@Martin Beck I know I'm late but the way you said "too primitive" for a ship like that made me think deep and giggle a little about how we rule our planet but our intelligence to an advanced alien race could be comparable to Modern day and stone age damn
Thargoids repaired this mans ship after a frameshift malfunction AND gets rid of a pirate that was taking advantage of the situation. What nice aliens, I can't wait to make friends with them.
Developers said that the first person to meet the Thargoids will determine if they want a hostile or friendly relation. And because you didn't shoot them there might be a friendly relation with them.
I feel like the celestial bodies like neutron stars are much scarier. I can’t wait for them to update black holes so those things can scare the hell out of me
Terrifying, you'll pulled out of hyper space, attacked by a pirate and you're all like, "huh, weird, somehow a pirate got me and is attacking me? Hurry up and let me fight back." Then suddenly you see that thing, I would be shitting myself.
There’s something inherently terrifying about a hard fact, an unbreakable rule you’ve lived by for years, suddenly being meaningless. “Hyperspace is safe. If I can just to hyperspace, it’ll break off the pursuit completely, and even if they follow me, I can be ready to fight or flee as I need.” Suddenly, your hyperspace, your illusion of a safe place, is shattered, and you drop into the black, far away from the light of any star, and your systems start inexplicably losing power one by one. You have no control, no ability to fight back or even self-destruct against whatever just did the impossible.
exactly what I thought. I primarily play it in VR, but haven't played since Xmas. now it's been spoiled, but oh well, this spells good things for Elite.
I always interpreted this as follows: An npc attacks a thargoid, and soon realizes they've made a massive mistake The noc tries to flee, but I brought out of hyperspeed by the Thargoid, and the Thargoid accidentally brings you out too. After making short work of the npc, it scans you to see if you pose a threat, then leaves once it determines that you're safe enough
To appease the conspiracy theorists: This video is a compilation of three shorter videos originally uploaded to the XboxDVR service. There are multiple encounters here, which have been spliced together to create one video, likely due to limitations of the XboxDVR service (or limitations of the knowledge of the user). The ship that appears and opens fire at the beginning is an Anaconda, an NPC pirate - we just couldn't see the taunting chat messages that accompany such things because the Thargoids shut down this pilot's HUD. When the Anaconda magically disappears and the fuel levels change - that's the splice between videos/encounters.
Please shut up already. His fuel levels and destination change between the 2 spliced videos. The Anaconda that glitched in even disappears and he now has someone in his wing
@@gavinmitchell3709 yes the sequence itself was scripted but I meant just the random encounter portion of it. Wasn’t like a “if you go here this is going ton happen” moment.
This is a great way to introduce new content to the game. I'm not a player but the idea of essentially Discovering an expansion in the game, (is this a correct characterization?) seem slike a brilliant idea.
"Discovering an expansion in the game, (is this a correct characterization?" Actually, the update 2.4 (final update of the current expansion) is called "????" So that is probably when the alien gameplay will be introduced.
I've never played Elite: Dangerous though I had my eyes on this game for a while so I'm gonna get it, but what I don't understand is why everyone seem to be freaking out about that thing, Thargoids or something. o: Why is that? Can someone please explain it to me?
Crysona Core the game has been out for 3 years and everyone has been looking for them. there have been hints that they exist and a crashed ship that someone found on a planet. this is the first time anyone has seen a living one in 3 years of searching.
Damn, 3 years? Jesus, man, and how everyone says they were far, far superior, even me don't owing the game, this is terrifying for me. :S Thanks so much! :)
During the last year the devs puts some clues about the thargoids existence. First some message on some floatsam founded during the CG missions (missions not procedural), then they put primordial life forms on almost 3 planets (tentacles or shit) and now this. The game has a sorta of backstory turning around the alien's existece, the thargoids. Sorry for my RELLY BAD english, you can find more on reddit. Almost the complete story, told in proper language :D
These were the days. None of us knew if they were gonna be nice. If players were just gonna force then into overtaking us. This is literally my favorite moment in all the years I've been playing games.
I will list some possibilities for what it could be and what it's agenda might be. 1. It's a scout-ship/rescue ship searching for the remains of what was in the crash-site. 2. It's Thargoid but it doesn't want to cause another-war/situation, after what happened with the last war. 3. It could be a drone. 4. The ship's could be collecting data on us, where we colonized, where we didn't, what we make our ships out-off, what's used as weapons and what ships we use. Personal opinion but I think it's best to let them take the first shot because we don't know what they want, maybe they are worried about starting another war against us? After all it seems like frontier wants us to not think of the aliens as human but as something-else.
I know nothing about Elite: Dangerous (For a long time I thought it was that Sniper game). and I think this is the coolest way to reveal an upcoming DLC\update that I have ever seen. I really want to play this game now.
This whole scenario is exactly like something I imagined I'd like to put into a space sim. Aliens that are just.. terrifying unknowns. I might buy Elite: Dangerous after all, and if I do, this video is the reason why!
Man it really sucks that we don't have his audio ;-;. That would have been amazing. We will never have the chance have someone unknowingly come upon this again.
Love the way the alien ship opens up a jump point instead of just the usual sudden zip away into the distance. Fun times ahead, personally not convinced these are the Thargoids yet, ship looks organic, but not classically Thargoid looking. Love the effects tho, the way it 'unfurls' and then scans, with the visuals and sounds is awesome.
Wakes are what ships leave behind when using their frame shift drive, which is the FTL drive. Using a wake scanner you can pinpoint the direction the ship that left the wake left is and follow them. Thargoids, however, leave wakes that cannot be scanned, cannot be followed, and really just reveal nothing at all. This and other things suggest that Thargoids use different likely more advanced frame shift drives.
piegunman Wakes are energy residue left over from a hyperspace jump. Scanning it allows you to pinpoint exactly where the ship jumped to, so you can track it. The wake being unable to be decoded means that it’s both an energy signal we can’t trace, and that we can’t follow the ship.
I don't even play this game but I'm liking this alien thing already. Will definitely follow any news related to this now. I love it when devs do spooky shit on open world games.
Hmm like a flower it opens to deploy its weapon system and as the scan ended the pedals on it closed.?? At the end it didn't seem to jump looks more like it opened a door and hopped in. Cloud seems like a residue that is left behind from its departure it reminds me of Species 8472 from the Star Trek Voyager series as they would depart back into fluidic space.
I'm crying because of fear, joy, awe. This is one of the most amazing things I've seen in games. Imagine you are the FIRST person to see this. I would be so fucking scared. The thargoid design is so bloody amazing. The sound holy fuck.

There’s something inherently terrifying about a hard fact, an unbreakable rule you’ve lived by for years, suddenly being meaningless.

Holy FREAKING crap. I would have peed myself if that happened to me in VR.
It's so awesome. And really confusing when landing on a planet, spiraling
Yeah man space is freaking terrifying
Jaffa everything is super intense, like trying to land at a space station or having dog fights
exactly what I thought. I primarily play it in VR, but haven't played since Xmas. now it's been spoiled, but oh well, this spells good things for Elite.

If it bleeds we can kill it
but we have Shieldcells and Engineers
We've dealt with their kind before and won. Their kind is beneath us.

It can't bleed if it has a shield that our attacks do nothing to
Oh no...
They've come...
"Fly safe, CMDR" just got a whole new meaning...
Ahhhhhhhhh! I'm terrified. As if normal interdictions didn't give us enough PTSD.

The Anaconda just ignored the giant flying flower that’s probably the size of a small space station.

Scares me a little.

This looks so cool.
Saying that this is 6 yrs ago and were currently in a war w/ them is wild..
At last......at long, Long last........the first contact with the Thargoids in decades......

for many many years we thought we were alone
How have I not heard of this game this looks amazing!
It's like one of those old spaceship games, such as freespace, but with more trading and stuff like in mount and blade.
It's all looks, but little to no substance unfortunately. That's probably why you haven't heard of it and why it's getting mixed reviews.
Hey I just saw this in the community section of the Xbox one!
First contact has been made. Now it begins.
well holy shit... now I have a reason to come back to elite. Looks like I'm rebinding my sticks and pedals tonight for some fresh fun
awesome. Ive gotta get back into this game.
I've never heard of this game until now but holy shit this looks creepy and epic
Amazing!

I just got this game, because it was on sale for $9 on Xbox. I can't wait to give it a try.
That was epic.
Awesome, the graphics kick ass, it looks believable.

Is this something that was recently added to the game, or actually something that was present but wasn't found up until this point?

aaron8862006 It's not an Easter Egg, it's a sign of things to come.
Oh my goodness Elite is back? game ever.
Very cool
Damn... not sure if this was a marketing stunt but it sure as hell got me on board with the game. Buying it during the next sale.
The real reason we're in a war with the Thargoids is because that NPC pirate wanted to see what was in that cargo bay
