2 years ago i bought a psvr brand new when i got ED because the settings menu told me i could adjust my VR settings. I still cant use VR. Im not on here every third post DEMANDING answers and rage quiting swearing I'll sue for a refund. I still play and enjoy the game. Im sure we could make estute observations about your forum avatar as well but ill leave that kind of drivel to you. Id rather folks act like adults and not like cry babies
ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement
- Status
Exactly, and i get a delay for consoles because there's potentially a lot of people who might play the game. I think VR is amazing from what little ive seen of the game in VR, but at present it's clearly not a large proportion of the player base. That's unfortunate but you can't design Odyssey if:
a) certain design aspects of it are only really possible using traditional input devices that won't work at all or well for VR players
b) the above can be done but takes up more dev time in order to get it right and delays the game.
I hope they do intend to support Odyssey in VR as id like to get a headset when I can afford to do so, and it would be sad to have the game fragmented permanently like that.
This has blown up because Frontier have dropped VR (in Odyssey), which naturally has provoked a reaction from those involved and from those not directly involved. Frontier, as usual, keep well out of it (probably wisely).
yep well, good luck with that.
Is it though?
So many of the "VR crowd", before it was announced there would be no support at launch, were busy bleating about vomiting over their keyboards or not being able to control their CMDR in FPS, and how they would be disdavantaged over the KB/M crowd, etc, ad nauseum...
Now they are up in arms that they can't play in VR from launch...
Priceless...
Yes, I play in VR, Yes I have a high-end PC... Do I actually care over much? No, not really, I still play more than 50% of the time in pancake because of RL constraints, I'll just play anyway - so, can't play the new content in VR at launch, oh well, that's life
So you don't care, I do. That's life.
It wouldn't be as good as playing Odyssey in VR.
I hope your HMD doesn't fail...
You can't play Odessy in VR, no one can
Maggie literally had to ask what VR even was a few hours ago. trust me when i tell you she doesn't understand what a difference it makes
We don't know that yet, we need FD to clarify.
That's not really the point at issue though is it?
But Frontier have never supported the PSVR, and therefore can't drop support for it in Odyssey.
Yea tell me about it lol
Yes, he can also pick up tomatoes in the garden. It's also possible ... He can play both modes because he has what it takes. Not you.

Something is off there. VR has been a part of ED since 2013 in alpha.
No it isn't. The point is that Frontier have dropped support for VR in Odyssey without offering explanation. It doesn't really effect those who don't VR, those who it does effect are voicing their opinion.

Same. Hope real life doesn't get in the way too much.
Thanks Tim,
This thing that interests me is whether the Odyssey gameplay will be totally segregated as in Horizons. i.e when you are in the base game you can't even get to planet surfaces. I assume this will be the same for Odyssey. This would mean the locations where space-legs can be used such as Planet surfaces (or ships/stations) would essentially be inaccessible to ships not launching Odyssey. This will be a massive disappointment to VR Players and even result in areas becoming Off limits.
The alternative which I assume MUST be correct is that ships & SRVs can still go to the planet surfaces (with Horizons) but without launching Odyssey you won't be able to exit the vehicle. This sounds FINE to me although it raises the question of whether you can interact with other players who ARE running around the surface on legs.
Any clarity possible on this?
