OS X PlayStation 4 |genre=Space trading and combat, first-person shooter in a later expansion |modes=Single-player, multiplayer }} ''Elite: Dangerous'' is a space adventure, trading, and combat simulator that is the fourth release in the ''Elite'' video game series. Piloting a spaceship, the player explores a realistic 1:1 scale open world galaxy based on the real Milky Way, with the gameplay being open-ended. The game is the first in the series to attempt to feature massively multiplayer gameplay, with players' actions affecting the narrative story of the game's persistent universe, while also retaining single player options. It is the sequel to ''Frontier: First Encounters'',〔 the third game in the ''Elite'' series, released in 1995. Having been unable to agree to a funding deal with a publisher for many years, the developer began its Kickstarter campaign in November 2012. Pre-release test versions of the game had been available to backers since December 2013, and the final game was released for Windows on 16 December 2014,〔 with the OS X version later released on 12 May 2015. A "preview" version of the game for Xbox One was later released via the Xbox Game Preview Program on 15 June 2015 during Microsoft's briefing at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2015,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Guest Blog: Gary Richards Xbox One Producer - Elite: Dangerous Community Site )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Head Into the Known With Elite: Dangerous )〕 and was fully released on 6 October 2015,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=XBOX One store page for Elite: Dangerous )〕 with a PlayStation 4 version potentially coming later after the timed exclusivity deal for Xbox One expires. ''Elite: Dangerous'' supports virtual reality devices such as the Oculus Rift. By the end of April 2015, ''Elite: Dangerous'' had sold over 500,000 copies, with Frontier Developments expected to generate £22 million from sales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frontier's Elite Dangerous earnings boost Cambridge Index )〕 ==Gameplay== ''Elite: Dangerous'' retains the basic premise of previous games - players start with a spaceship and a small amount of money and have to make their own way in an open galaxy, furthering themselves either legally or illegally, through trading, bounty-hunting, piracy and assassination. The game is the first in the series to feature online multiplayer, with players having access to a massively multiplayer persistent world, as well as an online-only single player mode. Open Play gameplay is similar to ''EvE Online'' in that many actions which would be considered griefing in other multiplayer games are generally permitted here, so long as a valid roleplaying reason is attached. Examples include (but are not limited to) stealing from other players, extortion, and blocking off star systems via blockade or similar means.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Merchant Marines Launch Operation Papercut )〕 However, some actions, like "mob mentality" persecution, abusing exploits (such as "combat logging") and cursing are still not allowed,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Elite: Dangerous - Community Code of Conduct )〕 and could eventually result in a shadow ban, meaning to lose access to the main server. The player is able to explore the game's galaxy of some 400 billion star systems, complete with planets and moons that rotate and orbit in real-time, resulting in dynamic day/night cycles. Around 150,000 of the game's star systems are taken from real-world astronomical data, while the remainder are procedurally generated according to scientific models.〔 Throughout the galaxy, the player is able to dock with space stations and outposts to trade goods, purchase new spacecraft, re-arm their ship, effect repairs and to seek or complete missions from text-based station "bulletin boards".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gamesradar.com/elite-dangerous-review/ )〕 The player may also find cargo or encounter other ships while in flight by investigating 'Unidentified Signal Sources'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elite: Dangerous」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
