$15 for just a new skin? or is there more?
Elite Dangerous Odyssey Gameplay Trailer, plus it (and Deluxe Alpha) now available for pre-order on Steam & FrontierStore
- Thread starter StuartGT
- Start date
It has in-game footage, but little new gameplay. Such as what can we do in the social hubs.
I find it hilarious that this is what they were preparing when they said "we have something secret we think you all will really love."
A ty gameplay trailer with half recycled footage and a menial 15 seconds of fortnite shooty shooty.
Many years of salt on the forum from people demanding that the exclusive skin is made available to everyone?
Yeah you get into the Alpha you get to PAY to be FDev's QA team!
Yeah the 1:20 minute video is a teaser. Gameplay video should be at least 3:00 minutes and show gameplay mechanics imo.
Especially since of the total 1:20, only 15s was actual gameplay. The rest was just dramaticized cinematic angles of generic gameplay.
They apparently thought we would be hyped for 15 seconds of CoD gameplay.
haha ... standalone launcher is unable to use Steam ID. and the updated Steam EXE is not starting the game or even login anymore. Great.

PS4? Xbox One?
So it's only a last-gen game on console now?

People have complained for years on the forums about the exclusive Cobra MkIV. So we can't have nice things anymore with deluxe editions.

Mate they already struggle to keep the game stable on their main platform; what makes you think they'd be able to successfully port it to new consoles?
aren't they backwards compatible anyway?
First I tried to buy the Deluxe Alpha on the website, but got an error "missing required options", even though there were no options.
Then the Deluxe Alpha version got removed from the Frontier store.
Now it's back at the store, but it says "out of stock"!

Meanwhle on the Frontier store we've come full circle, and back to step 1 where adding the Alpha Deluxe to the basket gives an "missing required options" error even though there are no options...
But given that people who bought in on steam now can't login, perhaps I should go to bed and leave this to a later date.
There's still time...
Couple of weapon types that I managed to quickly pick up on and pull from the teaser (under spoiler tags):
Utilizing an under-barrel grenade launcher:
Firing (has a reciprocating barrel):

Didn't get to see a first person view of it:
I also saw a grenade thrown in that intro combat sequence, as well as some small arms lasers. Plenty of sidearms featured in holsters too.
it really sucks that we are constantly reduced to picking apart milliseconds of footage because that's all they ever seem to give us.
I'm holding out that the next Dev Diary will give more info.

Good find. Can you take bigger screenshots?
