VR support 'not at launch' for Odyssey

A few people who have chimed in on the debate have experience of working with VR and explained the process as basically putting hooks to call the VR API (Oculus/SteamVR). Others have cited a video from way back when in which David Braben explains that it only took "a guy called Greg" a handful of day to put Oculus Rift support into the initial Alpha in 2013. Other people have cited VR mods created by players for other games such as the GTA-V VR mod, or the Alien Isolation VR mod. So this isn't some blindly biased unscientific guestimate, the research we have done suggests that adding VR to a modern game isn't a moonshot, its more like a Monday afternoons work.

Maybe 'Greg' left the company and didn't write any documentation :)

Ah yes I know that. Tim has actually "stolen" the term from Alec's question but then he contraddicts himself when he only confirm VR support for base game and horizons which means that the split could be also directly in the launcher.

My interpretation is that they're talking about how much Odyssey content will be accessible from Horizons.

Here's another related quote from Zac in response to Alec:

Zac's response:

Alec Turner: Zac Antonaci just PMed me on my VR question: "Can we fly ships under blue skies in VR? IE: Where's the cut off?"

Zac Antonaci: Hey Alec. Quick follow up to your question. For now it's too far out to confirm 100% where the split will be. We'll have more details closer to release. For now best to assume all Odyssey content is not VR compatible. But we can share more when we get close to the launch.

It doesn't sound so bad.
It makes you think that if they don't make it for launch they will do it in a following update. It would be great to have a confirmation about that. As I said I don't mind if it takes 6 to 12 months to get VR support as long as we're sure that it will come.

I can't see them allowing Odyssey content to creep into horizons: it doesn't make commercial sense and they have a history for this as well i.e. the planets and rocks in the base game bear no resemblance to those in horizons.
