Console Update
- Thread starter David Braben
- Start date
Haven’t quite learned to read yet, have you son? It’s ok, words are hard for some people. Buying a PC version of the game does nothing to help me as I don’t own a PC, and if anything it only rewards Frontier for breaking their promise to console players. Why would I spend another $50 on a game I can’t play, and another $500+ on a system I’ll only use to play that game? And taking it out on the game and the developers is by far the BEST way to voice my displeasure at their dropping the ball. Isn’t that how the market works, you voice your displeasure by NOT giving them money? Bah, I don’t have time to give economics lessons to someone who can’t be bothered to learn reading comprehension.Calm down and buy a PC version of the game.
Don't take it out on the game and the developers for not living up to your own hype.
That was a sad news for console gamers
But the thing is, consoles are always behind with the hardware where developers have to spend a lot of time to prioritizing the lowest hardware with performance where it prevents the game from evolving for PC players.
I think the release date for Odyssey was bad timing considering that the hardware suddenly became very expensive during that particular period but what can you do the times changes.
I play the game on PC with a GTX 970 and hope that the hardware will be cheaper in the future so I can upgrade.

I find it strange that some players are suggesting that 'at least you can still play horizons' or that 'you can play the same game today that you played yesterday' as if this is any consolation at all. Why would anyone want to invest their time and money (because you can be sure fdev won't drop the cash shop) in a second class game? Why would someone be happy to play a game knowing that there is no hope of an event, no hope of new ships, in fact no hope of anything ever changing at all. If that is not depressing enough you have to watch as every community post, every new hype up of new content, every new innovation (however remote those have been lately) still happens because actually the game still lives ...........just not for you. Why would anyone buy into or support that? There are other games out there that would welcome you into the community proper and not intentionally sideline you.
I have played on console. I played on PS4 for a while with my brother but my main was always on PC. I have not played since odyssey launched as I stated previously. The sheer disrespect fdev show their community only assures me I made the right decision. Wheel the old man out to throw a few lines out after ten months of silence and move on. No plan of action to temper the disappointment, nothing. He might as well have said 'hey folks we made a decision and you are not getting it'. They do not deserve the community they have. Mind you the way they keep casting sections of it adrift there won't be much of a community left soon.

Well, at least the question has been answered.
I hope there is a future for ED.

After 2+ years playing on console, this is a literal slap in the face. Thousands of hours completely wasted. I just spent big money on a console compatible flight stick for this game too. I really feel left out, unheard, and frankly. Ripped off. You see, I’m a disabled veteran, on a fixed income, in very rural America, I do not have a PC. I can not afford a pc, but you jerks,” PC Elitists “ I’ll call you from now on. Thank you so much for ruining the most fun I’ve had since pre war years. I hope you can’t sleep at night knowing your no better than that tease in high school, stringing guys along for years, just to brutally put them down and dump them on prom night. This news literally made me sick to my stomach. Bravo Chaps! You guys ought to join forces with Games Workshop! You could screw the whole gaming community that way!!!
Guess you are from KY? Me too. Also ps4

I am a PC player, and we are not your enemy, as a VR player, I feel your pain. WRT you being a veteran, thank you for your service sir. As for FDev joining forces with games workshop, thay are already collaborating on FDev making warhammer games, amke of that what you will.
So admitt3dly Odyssey has made the game worse for those who purchased it? They WHY are they going to continually sink money into it AT THE EXPENSE of further developments for the console crowd? “Man, this new recipe is blander and has the side effect of making diners sh!+ themselves uncontrollably! Well, cancel the other dishes until we figure out our diaper salad!”
Talk about throwing good money after bad. The only way this is a good business idea is if they were looking to get out of the business altogether.
What is a "post-Odyssey codebase?" Is Oddysey being abandoned? Or is this bolt-on being better integrated into the game (with full VR for instance)? When will FDev reveal more of the plan?
when they man up?
AMENI'm very angry, thousands of hours of play, faction in game (capsule corp interstellar), large network of players, many paints purchased, all this reduced to nothing?
You cannot deprive us of the transfer of backups, you have a duty to allow us to transfer our backups.
I see this philosophy isn't exclusive of Apple:
Apple on iPhone complaints: You're holding it wrong - CNN.com
Hours after its iPhone 4 went on sale to excited crowds Thursday, Apple found itself responding to complaints that holding the phone by its metal edge causes mobile reception to suffer.
edition.cnn.com
Right now , the only thing they can do is using thee ignore engine grade 5 and hoping on all consoles players just leave so they don't have to transfer anything
'Abrazos, no balazos'
When I read this, I presumed this meant the codebase after a certain date, perhaps Odyssey's release or an update. My impression of what that means, not official, obviously.
What a stupid move.
We wait patiently for 2 years for the console update, never rushing or making any fus out of it and as reward we get a "so long".
Yeah, the confidence on Frontier will be sky rocketing from now on, you honestly think I will ever put any money into another frontier product again?

Listening this song on loop + hoping this is just a bad dream. So very sorry for you console players
