Elite Dangerous‘ sound design is brilliant and immersive, with each ship having distinct sounds. Graphically, Elite Dangerous’ textures, models and effects are more detailed then Eve Online because you see them up close. Combat in Eve Online is more tactical, with the game aiming for you, and battlefields can span hundreds of kilometres. It occurs at a range of a few kilometres. Eve Online uses a usually zoomed out third-person camera view to get a better tactical perspective.Ĭombat in Elite Dangerous involves manoeuvring the opponent into your weapon sights, lining up a shot and firing at the correct time. Elite Dangerous has a first-person camera view. Eve Online uses more abstract, high-level commands, such as fly to this navigation point, with a keyboard and mouse. Many use a HOTAS (hands-on thrust and stick) and enjoy the sensation of flight.
Flying a ship in Elite Dangerous is like flying a modern-day fighter. Developers also evolve mechanics and features so a detailed comparison would also quickly date.Įlite Dangerous is more intimate than Eve Online. A detailed comparison would fill volumes. The goal was to only highlight the fundamental differences in design, intention, and appeal between Elite Dangerous and Eve Online. I wanted to experience Eve Online to understand its design philosophy and re-examine Elite Dangerous with different eyes.
Being almost 20 years old, Eve Online is known for massive PvP battles and intrigue, ganking and its player-driven economy. As a long-time player of Elite Dangerous, Eve Online had always intrigued me.
