More fidelity in that gif than in the EDO trailer.
Odyssey has been in development for years as well so
it's pre alpha!

Yes indeed it has well done but unlike the other esteemed games its only just not been revealed to the player base these last few months and not something we can yet get our hands on.
I'll take your point if we're playing the game this Dec and they're still calling it pre-alpha then you can meme to your hearts content and who knows I might even toss a like your way.
in other words, "the crap is good enough to trick a good bunch of unsuspecting customers". cue in maniac laughter "haw haw haw haw!!"
and you say that as if it were a good thing.
well good luck with that. my first reaction when i saw the footage was to call it off. we all know they want to fish in the really big ponds, but this simply won't cut it. get ready to get eaten alive, and that after the massive refund campaign.
That's how game development works these days don't ya know.
lol I didn't even stop to consider how excitable they must be over at Whale towers. Many an idris was bought in the flurries of ecstasy I bet.
not all, but sadly you are mostly correct.
then lets just relax and wait for nature to do its thing.
It's exactly what I expected, an FPS component attached to a much larger game. Comparing it to dedicated FPS games is completely wrong, ED isn't meant to be played as an FPS, the FPS component just makes up a small part of the game that you might sometimes do, like visiting the guardian ruins to get the blueprints or visiting an engineer to upgrade a module. I never expected it to be a full blown FPS designed to compete with the big boys, and no surprise, it isn't. I may indeed never partake in it at all, as many other players may also not, so it would be a waste of time the devs devoting a huge amount of resources to something that appeals to only a part of the player base.
Trying to sell ED as an FPS, as many respondents here seem to think is going to happen, would be a big mistake. I used to play FPS competitively and would never purchase ED based on it's FPS.

Elite Dangerous its a Space-sim, NOT a FPS.
This is why they don’t show us anything... Jesus Christ... it is a PRE ALPHA development build! Everyone needs to hold their nuggets a little while longer and stop giving FDev more reasons to clam up and stop showing us things.
The trailer left me saddened. I did not buy Elite Dangerous for this kind of gameplay, none of the content I saw in the trailer would be of any use or interest to me at all. Can we see some non-combat gameplay please? Will there even be any non-combat content with Odyssey?
The more I see of Odyssey the less I want to buy it.

Lol the same arguments "its not released, wait and see' then when its released "they will fix it, wait and see" - if its not ready why show it? if its not ready then why is it going into public access (not this alpha rubbish they keep spouting)
FDev have said there is more to do. If it doesn’t appeal, I guess you could stick with Horizons?

You really can't compare Anthem and Star Citizen. Regardless of conten Anthem is actually a released game
again same arguments "oh you dont like the new product.. maybe dont play it" what kind of attitude is that instead of encouraging players to play and encouraging the devs not to waste time on useless gimmicks?
If there is more to do then why havent they shown it? all they have focused on is the combat so that is all we have to base our reactions on and my reaction is.. its meh, I waited years for this? I put up with them dropping CG's due to poor management? I put up with waiting for carriers for this?
Nah, I already haven't played any Elite in almost one year, I've been exploring space with No Man's Sky since the pandemic broke out. If Odyssey is mostly combat content I just won't bother reinstalling Elite, that's all.
