I think therefore atmospherics for sure. Which is good. If no VR though? Sigh, probably not then. Can't imagine having to take VR helmet on and off during gameplay.

Note also how the landscape gets bluer and less distinct as it recedes to the horizon -- that's called atmospheric perspective and only happens when... wait for it...there is an atmosphere!

 

[LyokoWarrior]

After many years for dreaming to one day stepping outside my ships, it finally coming true, I'm so stoked, I can't wait. o7

 

[BoggiBlanko]

So this is a Expansion, not a new game, right? Please confirm! Too good to be true!

Nope, page says "Coming soon for Steam, PS4, XboxOne"

I hope that it will be available for those with non steam PCs as I have absolutely no wish to bother with steam.

Spoiler

Actually I am reasonably sure it will be but it would be nice not to be treated like a second class customer because I only want my money to go to FDev.

 

[Rybodhi]

Take my money! $$$ Bloody Awesome!
Two Questions: Will you be able to wounder around your ships? (I suspect you will.)
and more importantly will it be VR compatible?

It's an expansion bud... Probably cost the same as a new game though but I don't mind paying...

This appears to be just pvp with legs. If that is indeed the case i will wait until something more is launched. Walking around on a NON atmospheric planet is going to get boring in the first hour. Now if they couple this with atmosphere, then they have something

They clearly say it is more than just combat. Plus, if PvP isn't your bag, then just play Solo or Private Group.

 

[Parasite91]

real question is how broken will it be. i mean multicrew... but i wanna hope fore the best.
as a member of AXI i wanna go bug huning. spend me some time role playing starship troopers/ Alien lol

Seriously, there has been no obligation to pay money to FDev for about 5 years.....

Theres blue sky and sun haze so this seems to be a desert planet with an atmosphere

But unfortunately no water? So no earth like planets. But Space Engineers (which is considerably less complex in design) has earthlike planets. So I still have hope!

 

[Bob McBobblehead]

I wonder how long it will take my space legs to walk the length of a fleet carrier with 'A' grade mag boots!

 

[Parasite91]

Yep, extra content for Griefers and Gankers, expect as you little squad crew of 3 leaves your ship or multicrew SRV , that a Griefer mows you all down with multicannons from 200m above, safely in their Krait mk2.

this is why we need something on foot that can up ships. can you just imagen some griefer thinking they gonna be all bad then getting blown out of the sky by some op mountable turret lol

You expected more from a 2 minute clip?

Ah, boo. I'm not a huge fan of when a new console come out, game companies release it for the older console too. Makes me want to play solely on PC, but most of my gamer friends are on console, so yeah...

 

[CMDR Yates]

I suspect future clips will reveal more features (potentially base-building and interior space legs, different flavours of barren atmospheric planet potentially). It wouldn't blow my mind if surface liquids were a thing, for example. A lot of barren low-atmosphere planets have lakes visible from space.

There's probably about 10 months before release for them to string out all the content reveals and keep the customers interested.

They're not going to spank all their cards in the first teaser.

 

[CMDR Josky]

Hi Tim Smith i was wondering if Frontier Development's made there own new game engine replacing Cobra something like Viper or is that Unreal 5 im seeing in the Odyssey trailer

 

[Plaid_unicorn]

What has been shown now is more like a summary of the most basic elements of an "odyssey". The details will be told later, hopefully starting with the steam summer fest on June 9th.

Or whenever sony reschedules.

Probably a good opportunity to implement proper multi-monitor support: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-mystery-of-multi-view-and-triple-screen-support.345696/
