I have to give FDEV credit though for announcing the lack of VR support early. Imagine if it had been something you only discovered after buying the expansion.

Lmao, kind of like how on ps4 the graphic settings implied it did support VR so i went out and bought one. $300 later and i learn that it does not. No refunds either. But i dont feel like im entitled like some others. i like flying spaceships, driving srvs and now soon running around with firearms. If they implement the fps properly i will have very little to switch games 😁

I'm assuming things like planetary tech upgrades will be shared across all versions of the game. They have been previously, and it makes no sense not to (otherwise the planets will look different). So, if we have blue sky on planets I would still expect to see that in VR. Though personally I don't think atmospheric planets are coming in this release (the trailer isn't from one).

I'm happy enough that FD have confirmed VR will continue to work in Horizons, as that means I'll keep playing. I wasn't particularly interested in space legs anyway, so no major loss for me there (I can run around in hundreds of games). But I still hope FD do implement it further down the line. And I'm still very disappointed that for a game with baked in VR, they've not bothered to keep that part up. It will get much more difficult the longer it is ignored.

Personally I’d rather have the atmos planets without the space legs. It’s the perfect opportunity to refresh the cobra engine to take into account new developments in graphics card functions (DLSS, VRSS, VR SLI and dare I say it Raytracing).
This game for me is a flight trading simulation and FDev have got it spot on in this regard.
Because of all the pressure from the community we are now getting what looks like an FPS... this is very disappointing. No offence to the dev team, but attempting to pull off an FPS game that is on par with the other AAA FPS titles out there is a big ask.
For me, I purchased the LEP whilst I was on Mac... I moved to pc, then saw the light and was blown away by VR. I’ve upgraded my pc multiple times to improve ED in VR and have now got a cockpit setup with HOTAS, RTX2080 etc.
I very rarely play any other games, but when I do 80-90% are in VR.
I totally understand that the VR FPS elements are not really compatible with the guys playing in 2D, however please please please enable VR in Odyssey but restrict our ability to go into FPS mode.
Since the announcement of upgraded graphics for ice planets and the wait for the new era, I think I speak for every VR ED user when I state that not giving us the potential to land on a planet with atmospheres after the extensive investment of time and money (In many cases thousands of £s & $s) that has been languished on ED is a bitter pill to swallow.
Elite Dangerous is the sole reason many of us have VR...
I would gladly pay for another LEP for decent VR support(I really don’t care for the “legs”).

I mean if it just incorporates an HMD and doesn't use the controllers like Elite presently does, I think most would be satisfied. If it's just implemented as a head look mode, it'd be enough to where we're not having to constantly switch modes. Just as long as my head doesn't have to be a turret.

Same here, and it's cost thousands. My PC is also pretty much dedicated to E: D these days. But to be fair, none of that is FD's fault - they didn't make me spend the money on the hardware. And the hardware won't be useless without E: D.

But it's still disappointing.

Can someone point me to where they say vr is not supported for odyssey because I have not seen that a frontier official or unofficial position?
Is this just being called out because it wasn't mentioned therefore it isn't going to be supported?

In other words, is this just fan speculation and worry and not fact.

Any info appreciated

I personally am really excited about Odyssey, we have been waiting on this and other tech content since the alpha.

lol have you seen the growth VR has been experiencing? It is obvious that you are biased against VR
Click to expand...

Bias? It isn't mainstream, that is a fact. A non-mainstream entity within a non-mainstream game genre. Just because a random pandemic caught the industry by surprise, seems even they didnt believe in their own product, let's see if the growth spurt is sustained first, maybe thats what Frontier is doing too. I appreciate tech pioneers but I'll take a software developer saying we have other priorities for the vision of our product at face value.
