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

Any confimation about this? So that would be this one:

If I get this right, the suit comes as a gift for all preorders (not just for alpha). BTW: Does the SRV in the background float?

Looks like we've got some levitating NPCs as well (00:45). Not sure about the suit - this NPC doesn't look that bulky around the arms and legs.

I think I won't preorder. There will be probably some delays, a lot of bugs and maybe it's like 10% or 20% off soon after release. They will offer lot's of µTX for suits etc. so I won't preorder to get an exclusive skin without knowing what exactly I'm paying for.


I don't think that's a laser rifle - otherwise the npc would be constantly shooting the ground. Looks more like an aiming laser. Is the rifle a different one than the ones above?

Check out the chonk on those calves- G5 or what? No railgun round is going to get them in a hurry.
 
Gotta admit; I was interested enough to try and watch the Games Awards 2020 stream.
But tapped out on that about 15m in and looked at the trailer the next day.

This looks really interesting.
A lot more interesting then developers doing quasi-racetrack racing in an SRV in order to hype up the Horizons launch.

The First Person Shooter crowd is a huge chunk of the gaming market.
Now personally I'm one of those oldskool kind of players that prefers verticality in level design with lava everywhere -- and being able to rocketjump over that lava (or out of it if you happen to fall into it), but Elite isn't that kind of game with that kind of setting.

I'm getting a vibe of Tribes gameplay. Maybe Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, from what I remember seeing. Never played Planetside, but I suppose it could be crudely referred to as the MMO variant of Tribes?
If Frontier Developments manages to nail one of those three categories of gameplay...
 
I posted the below in another thread, think it is more suited here though. Not sure if I can delete old one. Thanks :)

I'm looking forward to it. Something to add though that I thought and that's to do with controller play. At the moment I have a "couch" setup and ED works fine for me with a controller. The FPS elements I think will be keyboard and mouse essential in pvp. Obviously it is on consoles too, but future hopes of say crossplay that some people have asked for wouldn't work here imo. Unless there's some kind of controller only filter or whatever. Because you will get smashed against someone with KB and mouse. Some of you may have also thought of a CQC deathmatch mode too which could be likely...

It could divide players who enjoy controller play for example as they will just play solo only and fight NPCs as that would be ok. But pvp as I said imo you will get torn to shreds same as other games.

...

If you look more closely at the pre-order bonus description it says '...exclusive Pioneer suit skin' my italics. I think it is more likely to be a cosmetic upgrade rather than a totally different suit. Isn't there already a Pioneer ship paint job? Could be we will be able to buy matching suit and ship designs ...
 
Hi. I have 2 questions, sorry if they've been answered already.

1. Is there a date for the next dev diary and do we know what it will be about? ( and also is it supposed to be the last one before launch?)

2. Any confirmation about a release date ( 21 of April?)?

Thank you.

No and No. Dev diary later this month. 21st of April is apparently fake as per FDev...
