ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement
- Status
I'd actually be ok with that.
The VR experience is more than half the game for me so I won't be buying Odyssey until VR is included. I think it will be a very long wait, probably infinitely long. Still, I will have my own shiny fleet carrier to take all my ships far away where I can make up my own story.
Played ED in VR for years now. Why would I want to go back?
I understand the issues that some people are having over the announcement of the lack of VR. While I personally do not and will not play VR games (seriously makes me sick and gives me a headache after only a few minutes) I really hope that FDev works quickly, and Carefully, to deliver VR to Odyssey.
I put myself in your shoes. Imagine if they announced Odyssey had all these wonderful features.... but you had to give up your HOTAS... keyboard and mouse only. I'd probably stop playing the game too.
I feel for you, our VR players, and hope for you, better news will come in, in the coming months.

Frontier also never said that it wasn't going to be in Odyssey.
No Horizons at launch for macOS client, then no Horizons at all for macOS client, then no macOS client.
Doesn't appear to be the case, but I really hope it is.
It makes me think that they put it on the back burner because they didn't think it'd cause such an issue, and now are reassuring people they haven't abandoned it while quietly considering how quickly they could get it done.
The lack of VR means that the game is ready for uninstalling from my pc. Thanks Frontier, I've bought my first headset only for this game...
The offer still stands Frontier - I'll pay double if you get it done!
I think you'll find though that Frontier have very carefully avoided saying that VR will come later.
What I was able to get from the stream:
They aren't allowed to answer the questions we are asking. (specifically stated)
VR is a non-starter for Odyssey at Launch - You launch Odyssey, no VR at all (my interpretation of what they said due to specifically stating Base Elite and Horizons but not Odyssey)
Ship Interiors/Stations - They cannot answer, no confirmation, no denial
They are reading everything we are saying (something they always say)
They emphasized that the features on the Steam page are the features we are getting.
The stream wasn't meant to be an Odyssey stream, thus little information could be given on it, only what was already announced.

Doom has VR now. You forgot 'now'. Played all the versions of Doom except haven't gotten the most recent one. None of them had VR at launch.
The lack of VR support just makes me sad.
Please FDev - I want to take part in the promised "...coordinate with teammates to master a multi-layered, deep, tactical environment where Commanders, SRVs and Starships converge." Even if i'm not the one with boots on the ground.
Side note: I have no problem seeing the work required in implementing VR FPS in a way that would be considered up to today's standards, but i would gladly take a slapped on solution with keyboard and mouse controls and HMD headlook. Just slap a big "Experimental" and "Hazardous to your health" tag on it.

I didn't forget at all, it wasn't in question.

I only play in VR. Unfortunately, the lack of support means the end of the road for me, at least until they add it (if they ever do).
