I disagree- if we're discussing semantics then it infer it will come at a later time.
The point is- they made a decision and explained. So, again, chill.
ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement

Well but you know that´s exactly how it works?
Personally, I'd rather FD had concentrated on adding more stuff to do with and in our ships that wouldn't have been such an issue with VR rather than spending time and resources adding an FPS section. There's a big list of stuff that was discussed in the DDF that could have been used to make new DLC and a huge amount of it would have happily been VR compatible, but for some reason we get a first person shooter instead, not sure why, it's not like there aren't dozens already available, what on earth is it going to bring to that table that enhances elite rather than just being a generic add on?
Entitlement 101.Don' tell me to chill. Not the way I'm feeling.
I suppose we each have our own priorities regarding what we want clarified at this point.
Mine can be summarised in one word:
WATER.
Waterworlds, terrestrial worlds with oceans, mostly-arid worlds with lakes... whatever. Anything more than what we have already seen, a dry barren planet with an atmosphere.
How many previously unlandable planets will become landable?

I'm mostly alright with ship interiors being added in 4.X or whatever. It would be difficult to engineer gameplay loops that don't detract from what players can do from their seat. We can already control every current system from the cockpit. Would FDev remove functionality? So I have to jog down to the power plant to reboot? Or would they add new functionality to other parts of the ship?
Either way, ship interiors would require reworking the entire game. Maybe Fdev should start small with Odyssey simply adding a new, partitioned gameplay mode.
On a related note, I really hope that VR still works in the Odyssey game client. It's understandable that they are unable to get VR working for the 2021 release of the first person mode. But I'm sure there will be other features in the update that VR users could enjoy, as people have already said.

No Man's Sky did that
But it's not the coding the problem, rather combining a seated game with hotas and standing gameplay with VR controller. But the question is: so why?
NOTE: There's an official fdev livestream in an hours time.
Is there? I don't see it on the schedule for that page :-\
I suspect it was just baiting
Agree, this is so much more important. Let's complete the planetary landings... I would love to see cities, weather, etc.
It's not a generic add-on, it was in the Elite 10 year roadmap and David Braben himself stated a long time ago that he envisioned Elite with features such as this one.
So, it's not random content, it was always in the roadmap plan for this game.
Be informed, peeps.
I did think that, but it is a very janky solution and might fall foul of the EULA, and the outcome is less than perfect, see StuartGT's other post elsewhere answering this question.
2+1/2 years development with a "100+ team", and remove a core feature?
And when I think about the PR cluster frack this has turned into...
Being honest, they can do what they fracking want now.People pushing for VR support in Odyssey - careful what you wish for.
I mean if you push it hard enough, VR might come with Odyssey at launch... but in early 2022
You are right, instead they use lots of "weasel words" to "leave it open", like they did with the "only one SRV at launch" of horizons.
If VR is not supported, it simply won't display onto the headset. The only way this could be achieved is through something like a desktop viewer program looking at the window of Odessy, which wouldn't be stereostropic so would be a flat image in the headset, which would not move, and as such likely induce nausea because the players inner ear would sense the movement but the eyes wouldn't verify that movement.
They only responds because the VR community has been up in arms about the moniously absent mention of VR, in conjunction with other indicators that VR wasn't on their agenda in recent updates. Indeed I had PM'd Tim about this yesterday.
lol "White Knight", how old are you? I am not interested in platitudes just technology. I was curious, you seem to be eager to base a lot of anger on an unsubstantiated report when every other press release has been unable to add any further details. Exploring ship interiors wasnt mentioned on the featurelist, the video or any other announcement so why would it be a disgrace even if it didnt appear in Odyssey which is obviously geared toward planet-side missions and combat? Maybe it is being saved for another announcement to tide us over the next 9 months or perhaps a different DLC, you know to pay back all that development time. How about get back to realpolitik?
Thanks Tim.
I'm guessing the crucial phrase here for VR fans is "at launch" .
I'm wondering if my PC LEP extends to my PS4 account using the same frontier account?
I really wish it was open to interpretation but I just cannot imagine how it could be:
Well we really wont know that until it's released will we, the point still stands though, there is far more content that could have been added that would have been a better fit. Stay informed indeed.
White Knight... kek
Well seen !
But be careful not to get sprayed by a Federation / Empire / Alliance ship.
