Elite Dangerous Odyssey Gameplay Trailer, plus it (and Deluxe Alpha) now available for pre-order on Steam & FrontierStore

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 poopooty gameplay trailer with half recycled footage and a menial 15 seconds of fortnite shooty shooty.

That's where salt gets into your eyes. You see the audience for this was broad and it had to get attention. I doubt the event organisers were going to allow a zoom conference with someone with gamepad in hand giving a monologue for 20 minutes.
 
Fyi for those who just pre-ordered Odyssey on Steam only for it to break their ability to play Horizons.

Right-click on Elite Dangerous in Steam
Go to the "DLC" tab
Uncheck the "Elite Dangerous: Odyssey" DLC
Go to the "LOCAL FILES" tab
Click "VERIFY INTERGITY OF GAME FILES..."
After it runs the check, it will tell you that it found some issues with some files and fix the problem after which the game will be playable again.

Anyone notice how the planet isn't flat in the Odyssey trailer? :unsure:
Braben and his gang at Frontier Development are in on the conspiracy to keep the secret that the earth is flat! We must stop them at all cost, we must fight to end to tear down lie that with live on a spherical world.

No they could have launch this preview and then go to frontier whatever and watch a full 20 minute game play video.

They keep referring to “the sphere of combat”. What if that’s actually a sort of separate place that you have to enter or instance with people and that’s the only place where you can actually fight while on foot? Meaning you can’t just land anywhere and get out, pull out your gun and start shooting. That’s the only place to have ships shooting at you too.
Ever hear of a phrase "the theatre of war"? No, it doesn't take place in an actual theatre.
"Sphere of combat" is a phrase.

Yes I’m aware of that. It’s not the specific word “sphere” I’m referring to. It’s just that they seem to use those particular set of words very often and it’s even listed as a feature of Odyssey. It’s not a very common phrase to use.

I don’t know, maybe it’s nothing but we’ll see...
