ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement
- Status
It never gets old... hahah
I don't remember them saying that it's on the radar. They were very adamant about not confirming anything outside what was already written and what is on the Steam Store page. As per usual, they want to save things for other announcements, dev logs, Cons and the like. The two streaming were not allowed to answer questions outside of the scope of the announcement as it was written.
Didn't catch the stream, but that's good to hear. It is weird to see a marquee feature like VR being dropped from a mature, released game (don't talk about Mac support. Still too soon!)
As a devout head-tracker, I, for one, stand by my headlookin' brothers and sisters.
Yup, i would be quite happy if atmo landings would be still possible in VR without legs feature....at least until they solve legs VR support!
Maybe if they divide Odyssey launcher in two categories;
-VR atmo landings and rest but no walking around and FPS
-pancake mode sa advertised
Dreaming of atmo re-entry in VR for soo long!
See these things called manners - were they not on your school's curriculum?
Source maybe? I don't think they actually said so.
I'm happy to adjust the number if anyone can provide a source.
See, you got me all wrong. I'm not upset at all. Way too old to let silly things like games upset me. I'm off to play RDR2 in pancake mode.
I will not buy Odyssey until it has VR support. There are many Elite Dangerous players who only play in VR. There are very very few who experience Elite Dangerous in VR who have any desire to move back to playing on a flat-screen. "Not at launch" doesn't mean that you will ever actually implement VR support. Please at least commit to adding VR support for Odyssey. There is a big difference between "not at launch" and "we will implement VR support for Odyseey, just not at launch". I understand there is a fair bit of time and effort involved but a significant number of your players would immensely appreciate it. VR is only getting more popular and there are many people who bought Elite purely because of the VR experience.
Woop, 100 pages. The salt must flow ........

I agree, but seeing as FD delayed updates as a result of a petition to fix the ridiculous amount of unresolved historical bugs, because many of the complainants were prominent YouTube content creators, that could have been bad publicity for FD, what chance have people like us, in a minority got?
Vague promises are worth nothing imho. If its not part of a published roadmap that they are committing to.
If what you've had for years now is sub quality content to you, why did you not try to get a refund, or why are you still here? I responded with the correct information. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant to me in context and undeserving of sarcasm.
This is very unfortunate. I was looking forward to playing Odyssey on my Samsung Odyssey. I can't justify spending more money on Elite Dangerous if future content doesn't support VR. If VR support ever comes to Odyssey I may try it then, but from the looks of it Frontier is dropping VR support from future releases.
And how much extra would it have cost in time and money to produce? What are the numbers?
Don't pull that one dude. I don't have one of those passes, i just think he has a good point. Removing game features you've paid for is kinda silly - it also shows any vision has pretty much died from the project. Remember how much Braben et al bigged up the oculus rift support as a key feature etc.
You are obssessed with money and rentability but space opera games are also about new technology, experimentation and innovation, and vr is part of this
This is exactly like when people who bought 3D televisions get angry because there is no 3D content. That's the risk of buying expensive bleeding edge tech. Corporations aren't required to make risky decisions because of you.
I didn't realise FD had only been working on Odyssey since Winter.
