So, as has now been pointed out, your whole premise is flawed. It's okay not to know the little video was part of a much larger stream and simultaneous forum post, but now you know you're wrong.
Update 8?
- Thread starter Stealthie
- Start date
Let me get this straight: A trailer for upcoming features (be they wanted by the individual or not) is not part of the "optimisation" program, cetainly - but may have been featured on the very same post that talked about it, but that is neither here not there, is it?
As the "Trailer" will be around after the optimisation cycle is completed, adding this kind of information to it is redundant.
As for the salute, my goodness, it never crossed my mind that it might resemble another form of salute...

The video was only one part of the entire Development Update.
To suggest otherwise is simply a lie.
This, is a thread.
Sorry man, they didn't 'sweep it under the rug' just because you didnt read the news update or watch the new stream. Reality exist even if you dont look at it. Its called 'object permanence'.
The normal thing to do now would be to say:"Oh right, they didn't try to hide it, they are openly and actively communicating about it." Or you can double-down. Also fun.
You know the bitter love to move goalposts.
Ah. so "They are adding a good and useful function. They are also adding an animation to it, which is nice. But you can also wave at people, and I hate that. So doom."
Okay then. I'm gonna leave you to complain on the porch on your own for a bit because this is getting too silly.
Well, this is going fantastic. OP didn't do his research and another poster is angry because reasons.
Lol, imagine being upset and even prophesizing doom because they add a 'wave hand animation' on top of a nice new feature with its own animation. Absolutely splendid, its like being Elite-ranked in self-induced misery.
Haha, this is going in my top 10. One guy didn't read the news and another dude hates waving. The end is nigh folks.
This fact has been pointed out to the angry posters of the ED Forums but sadly reality isn't a concern when you're livid at a games company.
Perhaps one of the CMs should drop in here to mention that Odyssey on consoles isn't happening until all of the optimisation work on the PC version is considered complete? It has been at least a day since it was mentioned!
Just out of interest what's your views regarding ship skins, bobbleheads and all the other cosmetics?
Different part of the team, so not directly helping with optimizations per se, but the bugs get ironed out before it comes to console so you get a nicer package at release than we ever did.
Sounds like you need friends. I will definitely benefit from the new MC additions.
Dunno what the first game to add basic communication emotes was but, erm, Fortnite wasn't it.
Seriously, it's not like they're having players do the floss dance inside a space bar. It's a point, a wave, an applause, a thumbs up and down, and a salute. You know, things that people do in the real world to communicate?
I would challenge you to pull up the salute you're referring to in a side by side comparison with the Odyssey salute and see if, in addition to the mental gymnastics, you can also pull off the visual gymnastics needed to make whatever weird connection you're trying to make to drive your point home. This isn't twitter; weak Hitler comparisons don't result in instant-wins here.And, are we going to talk about how some of the gestures seem to look a lot like the salute of a certain German political party from the early 20th century?
I see no way such a gesture might be abused as a means of offending.
As others have already told you, those optimizations and bug-fixes are quite literally the first bullet point on the development update post. As a matter of fact, they SPECIFICALLY mention lighting, as you did...so I'm wondering now if you actually did see the post and decided to fabricate optics to make an edgy forum post to raise console pitchforks in the angry town square this forum has become.
