lol if you dont like our objections to the lack of VR then it's working.

protest has to be intrusive or it doesnt mean anytihng

All you're going to achieve by hijacking threads like this is to get yourselves on everyone's ignore list...

sounds like a win to me. if i'm on an ignore list i wont get replies like this

Forum users are not in a position to make changes, the develoeprs are. what does it matter if you ignore me?

I'm sure this is what I saw on the icy plantes...honest.... peoow...peeoowww

 

[Barking_Mad]

God damn it looks really, really, really, really pretty. Looking forward to more this evening. Boop!

That it may be, in the opinion of those who have access to the equipment.

That it might - at a hardware pricepoint that might restrict access to a relatively small subset of the player-base.

I do realise everybody does not have VR access (although goid headsets are becoming significantly cheaper). However, it just breaks my logic to talk about wanting to deliver the most immersive experience possible and then restrict the product to not be compatible with the technology that increases immersion a thousandfold.

I am also aware VR is a (significant) minority of players, but that was not the point.

New PC time?

 

[VR Mr Teatime]

I see Rayleigh scattering and possibly one shot with new tectonics.

Anyone see any erosional features or dunes yet?

 

[VR SenseiMatty]

I'm easily pleased and expect nothing, but then, I just like the game so anything that tickles my 'like' button is fine by me.

I'm a VR user too... But not one of the protesters - no noise from me on that front

YMMV, of course.

I respect your POV.
Instead I'm still very upset with FDEV so I can't get excited with these few improvements shown here.

... and how will that feeling of actually being the first to set foot on a new planet and surrounded by a thin helmet be conveyed through a flat screen a meter away?

There is only one way to actually do that justice and it is usually denoted by a two-letter abbreviation.

Speak for yourself. Entering the Forgotten Vale and Blackreach for the first time in Skyrim on Xbox 360 literally took my breath away.

There is a point where exposing yourself to big toys will ruin the simpler things for you.

If Odyssey gives me anything like those two locations, or when I first landed on planet years ago in Horizons, on a flat-screen, then I am gonna' be happy. As are most of the community because you know as well as I do that VR players are anything but a majority.

Hello, nice video, but why the "sexist" helmets ?
[...]

Nature is sexist (women are given different "curvy" chests than men, for example), so give Frontier a break.

I quite like the suits!

Or guy just picked the helmet he's like and the girl picked different helmet. No biggie here.

Or, you know, different helmets, some more Arx to spend etc.

<ignore me - I didn't read the OP properly>

I'll never ignore you, but I'm adding about a dozen [VR] CMDR Whiners to my list

 

[Northpin]

What is this....??? Do we really need to destroy every planet that we explore? I mean this thing is huge... Isn't it maybe out of scale?

not as out of scale as Cutter' Stairs

You too are just a forum user though...

So, hmm... Okay.

I'd like VR in the game even though I don't own VR. It's brilliant. However my 9 year old is better behaved when told "wait and see" than some of the VR crowd on here. Its quite sad.

Return of ADS confirmed

 

[VR SenseiMatty]

Here come the VR boys to destroy the thread.

You already have your answers. Not at launch and they are investigating it.

There's no need to destroy anything.
I need some good reason and engaging gameplay to buy this expansion if they remove VR from it. What I see here is not convincing enough for me period.

 

[[VR] Orodruin]

That VR is not going to be included in Odyssey at launch suggests to me that one or more non-trivial implementation issues exist regarding non-seated gameplay.

This is a misrepresentation of what VR users are asking for. Only a minority of VR users seem to be asking for roomscale implementation. Many would be perfectly happy to continue sitting in our chairs as we realize the problems of transitioning between the two modes.

My sentiments exactly

yep, all i want is VR support for Flying and Driving in atmospheres. dont care at all about walking around

 

[Viajero]

Please keep posts on topic, which is not VR. There are other threads in the Dangerous Discussion forum for VR and Odyssey if you prefer to discuss that topic.

Yeah, not a huge fan so far of the new art style. The new suits, helmets, jetpack, weapons, sampling tool all look more 'NMS' than Elite. I hope that's just the Gutamaya stuff.

They wanted the vegetation to be plausible but seem to have gone full anime with the rifles.
