ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement

[[VR]m335]

Oddly, in distinguishing myself as not being an endlessly grinding fool, I was not referring to you, but wear the shoe if you like it.

By the way, for FDev's benefit, let's just play this out. If there is even a perceived compatibility or netcode issue, every playergroup is going to tell all their members to run Horizons whenever possible, to avoid creating problems for their remaining dedicated VR users.

This whole debacle is a truly sad state of affairs, and FDev's involvement in the space sim business will is already set to go down as one of the dumbest moments in gaming history. Right up there with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (video game), but without even the shadow of an excuse.

"do things in the world" whatever that means. I'm guessing the opposite of whatever a grinding fool is

I cant say i agree with that comparison in any way at all.

 

[[PS4] Filthymick420]

I've never ground a thing.
As all the get rich quick schemes have come and gone I've gone my own way.
You should stop making assumptions.

Not even coffee?

I don't think any of the guys ranting about the withdrawal of VR support from odyssey expected 3D hand controls using things like oculus touch to ever come to elite?

Yeah, no touch controllers please.

EDIT: Haptic feedback gloves would be baller though.

I'm not wearing the grinding fool shoe, it's odd you didn't get that.
I can't even begin to guess what the rest of your post is about.

 

[Maggie_Oz]

Nah Instant all the way for this gal.

 

[[VR]m335]

This actually brings up an interesting point. FDev are abandoning VR, right as proper hand and eye tracking are becoming available for VR. These would have been an amazing fit for the menu systems of Elite Dangerous. Very sad.

 

[Maggie_Oz]

FD aren't abandoning VR

 

[Dbrn47]

Nah Instant all the way for this gal.

Instant isn't even coffee anymore, how could you?

 

[maverickbc38]

I for one am happy about the new dlc, some much needed content . But, the push till next year is uncalled for and disappointing to say the least... Jus sayin....

It was just something I fell into, all the other ķids were doing it.

Totally agree. They claim no VR at launch, but we'll see. I would definitely prefer some form of gloves over touch controllers. I have a VR flight sim called Aerofly FS 2 which allows for using all the control surfaces in a plane's cockpit and it's clunky using touch controllers....haptic feedback gloves would be the better solution for this. Especially since you need to be able to also use your HOTAS for flying and whatnot. Because I'm not going to sit there for hours pretending to hold onto a yoke or stick.

There's no confirmation that they are doing that. "No VR at launch" is ambiguous, sure, but you're now choosing an answer and confirming it in your own head. What happens when you're wrong? Will you come back to admit you were too hasty or will you cover it up and say that the pressure forced them to 'come around to the right decision'?

Be upset that they won't confirm support at launch, but don't assume they are abandoning support from here on out. You're giving yourself undue stress.

Better falling for instant than falling for cigarettes i'd say !

I imagine its for bug fixing and such. I wonder if there will be an open beta

Oh ... umm... yeh

They still haven't fixed all the bugs they introduced during the January updates which only seemed to be added to squelch the crazy income from deep core mining because fleet carriers were coming.

 

[Dbrn47]

Oh ... umm... yeh

Oh no... Cigarettes AND instant coffee then?

Get real. Even if FDev does leave VR support as-is for the forseeable future, they are obviously abandoning the opportunity to make future additions to it. Added to that, FDev's track record is among, if not, the industry's absolute worst both for empty promises and for apparent lack of even trying.
