So, if you have Elite Dangerous main, you can fly in space. If you have Horizons, you can land on non-atmospheric landing planets. If you have Odyssey, you can walk on landing atmospheric planets, aren’t you? Nice!

I hope that atmospheric landing planets will have more atmosphere around them, you know - blue sky, nobless oblige:

 

[DarthRiznat]

All I have in my mind now is: How is this all going to play out in VR?? Like No Man's Sky (hope not)?? Or more like Half-life Alyx (yes please!!) ??

 

[CMDR Mayhem]

Upgrade weapons, Engineer, o oh. I forsee salt incoming!

 

[Wimmer]

Don't fire that employee who apparently accidentally made this leak. He made a day for a lot of us! I love this guy.

 

[Lordxenu]

All I have in my mind now is: How is this all going to play out in VR?? Like No Man's Sky (hope not)?? Or more like Half-life Alyx (yes please!!) ??

Well since they've removed VR from the steam page listing for Odyssey you might not need to worry.....

 

[Hullster]

Right, time to get my deck chair sorted as im going to watch the sunset on BD-26125-A6-B7-125642-C-06

 

[aRJay]

AMAZING!

This bit is going to be the make-or-break through....



The new environments and activities are amazing, but I desperately hope the missions and content involving these new mechanics stack up.

I am just hoping that all the new mechanics and environments are accessible without having to take on missions.

 

[The Nephilim]

Don't fire that employee who apparently accidentally made this leak. He made a day for a lot of us! I love this guy.

Promote them!

So, if you have Elite Dangerous main, you can fly in space. If you have Horizons, you can land on non-atmospheric landing planets. If you have Odyssey, you can walk on landing atmospheric planets, aren’t you? Nice!

I hope that atmospheric landing planets with have more atmosphere around them, you know - blue sky, nobles obliges:

i see you get it too.

ATMOS PLANET LANDINGS COMING.

Thats the biggest news ever for me.

I've looked at those places many a time wondering what they would be like but we only ever were able to land on those airless worlds.

now will have to consider so much more interesting things among the planets we could never visit right in the bubble and everywhere

 

[Exeider]

All I have in my mind now is: How is this all going to play out in VR?? Like No Man's Sky (hope not)?? Or more like Half-life Alyx (yes please!!) ??

Considering VR support is not listed on the steam page, might want to temper those expectations just a bit.

 

[Niberobey]

Wish list:

• Carry other comanders in my ships (crew or passenger).
• Sawed off shotgun like a sidearm.
• More videos for hype...

It's time to disembark, Commander.

We are delighted to share with you a glimpse of the Next Era - Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.

So you've disembarked, you're standing for the first time on an unexplored planet. What can you do next? Here's an overview of what you can look forward to in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.


One Giant Leap

Assemble Your Crew

Social hubs spread throughout the galaxy give Commanders the ideal place to plan their next move. Form alliances, procure services, and even find expert support in highly coveted Engineers. These public outposts also help you acquire and upgrade weapons and gear to perfect your playing style.


The Sphere of Combat

Experience intense first-person combat, kit out your character with an array of weapons and gear, and coordinate with teammates to master a multi-layered, deep, tactical environment where Commanders, SRVs and Starships converge.

Well that all sounds rather promising

 

[OtakuMage]

That's not just Space Legs, that's atmospherics. Sky is blue, there's a breeze blowing the dust before the Anaconda flies by, and the sounds are completely different from the vacuum worlds we have now.

 

[Leper Messiah]

I'm not one to get hyped, still cautiously optimistic but that looked very cool. BDSSE level of cool. PLEASE don't release it too early, fix all bugs before hand. I like that "Diplomacy" is mentioned, don't have a focus on pew pew.....get more sciency stuff in as well for explorers. Let us take rock samples etc and analyse stuff, so that someone could spend months fully exploring a planet and earn as much as someone exploring as we do now.

 

[psykit]

oh boy oh boy

I'm very excited.

 

[PanPiper.]

now do you remember that bit a while ago from FD when talked about newer SRV> multicrew SRV iirc.

now that would make sense ,.

 

[Leper Messiah]

Some concerns:

• The reveal sounds very combat focused? Are non combat play styles getting new first person content too?

Diplomacy missions mentioned so I'm hopefull!

 

[aRJay]

For the name of Democracy, deliver this 6-pack beer to Hutton Orbital, Commander.

Now that is a long walk.

 

[Hydrino]

We're getting atmospheric flight as part of this? It sounds like this will be for uninhabited worlds only — no ELWs or major population centers?

This will be awesome and lays needed groundwork for walking on Atmospheric worlds. I thought Atmo would come first but just not on planets with life. Seems I had a wrong guess and this actually is a more logical path as it limits having to create too much new creatures and environments for 400 billion+ planets. Atmospheres I expect another 2 years of development work if we are lucky. And will be another paid expansion.

Great news is a smoothly working release that integrates seamlessly into the existing game is coming, and it will pack updates to the planetary tech; recall ice worlds and scatter-rock upgrades already teased a couple years ago. Wonder about the recommended specs, if performance is targeted at the new console generation with DX Ultra and limited ray-tracing as the top-end or not?
