When Odyssey comes to console, will it feature all of the Odyssey content?

[Edit: Apologies to my fellow PC and XBox forumites, this post was originally posted in the Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Discussion forum as I didn't want it to be platform specific, but it was later moved to the PlayStation sub-forum. You're still invited to come along and discuss!]

Rings on PC and console are different in Horizons already. Will Frontier cut some of the content of Odyssey in order to e.g. generate a stable framerate. And if so, what content might be likely to be trimmed or curtailed in this way?

Conflict Zones and Settlements seems to be a major performance issue, so perhaps they will be smaller when Odyssey comes to consoles, with fewer NPCs and less complex building / structures?

What other Odyssey content do you think could be 'tuned' in terms of size, for the console port of Odyssey?

Perhaps the scannable plants won't be quite so frequent, as currently happens with asteroids in ring systems?

Perhaps the atmospheric effects will be tuned down?

Would you still buy Odyssey if some experiences were downgraded?

No.

Forget it. Odyssey -- in its actual state and huge graphical demanding -- will never make it to consoles. After nine updates, this "release" is still full of issues.

It will feature all new bugs (and some old favorites)

I'm sure it will contain extra 'content' of this nature

What do you mean by "rings?"

Rings are less dense on consoles

 

[PRORABBIT67]

Steady.

Indeed. The number of asteroids are less, which impacts mining yield.

Only Frontier knows the answers.

Frontier and CMDR Thrust from Bradford.

He says console launch was difficult but now it's working on 30 fps locked.

Lol I get it now, and feel pretty stupid! I thought it was a technical term I didn't understand - DOH!

Thanks Mac
(I shall leave my embarrassing comment up though, in the vain hope that someone else is as stupid as me!)

On his PS7 ...

That thing runs the original Doom like nothing you have seen before!

Well, if it makes it any easier for you (no idea why it should), i didnt get it at first either...

And i'm the one that posted this thread:

Spot the Differences (Where are my Asteroids?)

So lately, as in one-month-lately, i was mining LTDs a lot on my PC account (no, don't ask why). Then last weekend i decided to fill with LTDs a Cutter on my XB account with the idea to sell it when prices are good. So I did, but while i was in the ring i had a strong impression that there...

Nothing. Nothing at all. Everything will look as splendid as it does on PC and will run just buttersmooth.

The only difference PC <> Console i managed to spot in Horizons was the asteroid ring density.

I expect that to carry on in Odyssey.
However, i also think Odyssey will get a native version too and that version might no have the smaller density rings

But, no one knows - speculate ahoy

Smaller scale settlements. It's like a LEGO™ game.

I just about managed it, but it was harder than a twelve year old salami...
