ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement
- Status
Rock, Paper, Stapler?
edit: designwise I´d say a Gutamaya Plasma-Gun
Hello All,
I'd like to know if I can pre-order the expansion on the frontierstore.net website, I don't use Steam and don't want to either, just another pointless app using up memory and processing power.

Hi. Is that recent news or just the stretch goal from 2013? If recent news that's fab news but I would love a link please as last I heard it was uncertain as well. Thanks

On the original advert, it had the words 'Made For VR'
How would base building improve FCs?
Yeah they reconfirmed it in February I think, it was definitely recently this year
Looks a lot like an updated Jaws of Life rescue tool to me. So recovering people from crashed ships for fun and profit.
Me too.
I play on console. Its fun, but PC players got it beat. I played on a friend's PC that had VR a HOTAS and a console pad that had button and switches to active systems and stuff it was super fun. But I still live playing on console (Xbox One) and we might get VR with next gen.
Star Citizen have announced a lot of things. It remains to be seen if they ever deliver on many of them. Squadron ‘42 is a good example. It is due for release this year and here we are in June and it has all gone very quiet!

I would be over the moon with a voice acted story. It doesnt cost as much and already have the tech in place to do it.
Best news I heard this weekend. I just hope they come through. Whilst it IS improving (and I am a backer of that too) for me the jury is still out if they will ever fullfill their stretch goals or if they are just full of it

We will see. The original PS was supposed to blow away the PC gaming market when it was launched. I think it did cause the PC developers to up their game. maybe PS5 will do the same.
Don't worry, im about as optimistic as you are about anything SC related. As someone who backed it back when it was on Kickstarter I can fully say the game is barely more than a tech demo since they keep piling more ideas and concepts into it without finishing a single one. A year ago we were supposed to have a procedural solar system at least, with trading and all the other working, basically a playable game- but they decided to complicate it way more than we wanted and now it'll never come out. I'm just waiting to see whether CIG go broke or not before we see something that's a 'game' from them.
I do like the idea of poking fun at FDev about how even Star Citizen want to ad VR in their convoluted game
Yeah, I think a junior dev said VR was in the plans in March.
There are lots of unknown questions which need to be solved and requires a collaboration from various teams here.
I imagine we will implement VR in stages, e.g. for a first step just being able to view ships in the hangar or using it in a cockpit. But a full VR implementation similar to Half Life Alyx is a whole different story.
I can’t and won’t make any promises but my personal goal is to have something similar to Alyx
That's nice.

So ... soonâ„¢ ?
Yeah, not like many PCs can handle the base game as it is, I think hardware needs to play a bit of catch up whilst they do their thing
I've no idea. I watched a video (you may have watched it as well), from someone that used to work at EA, for PC I think on graphics, and he too was impressed like me.
I only know bits and pieces from building a couple of PC's since 2014, and before that could make very basic (literally BASIC) programs on the BBC Micro, so I'm not all that knowledgeable, but I understood a fair amount enough to see it as a rather considerable piece of kit. I especially thought that the approach to managing how the SSD interacts with the CPU and Memory was very good.
