it's not going to happen - eventually not even because they can't do it, but because they no longer want to - imo ED will be faded out and run for as long as the revenue from it justifies running the servers and paying staff. There isn't much to expect revenue-wise, so they will reduce the staff working on it and just maintain a service crew to it's end.
A Call For Frontier To Put VR Legs On The Upcoming Road Map

You should see some of the conversations on the Planet Zoo forum - they're equally demanding, just in their own way
In a world where developers add VR to their games after the initial release (see NMS and Flight Simulator 2020), FDEV takes the opposite direction and removes support to existing featuresI don't know shood this Q. be made its own thread, but why do only cut features from Elite? Planet Zoo, JWE & planet coaster players, collectively, don't get crapped on as much as we do¿ We get more

I seen a steam review that said something similar that made me laugh:In a world where developers add VR to their games after the initial release (see NMS and Flight Simulator 2020), FDEV takes the opposite direction and removes support to existing features
Frontier have done a reverse star citizen, they started with a good game and made it into a
FS2020 is a flight sim not a FPS game, you can still use VR in your cockpit, NMS is a single player game, keep that in mind.In a world where developers add VR to their games after the initial release (see NMS and Flight Simulator 2020), FDEV takes the opposite direction and removes support to existing features
VR is removed from the game? I can't help but think you're exaggerating.In a world where developers add VR to their games after the initial release (see NMS and Flight Simulator 2020), FDEV takes the opposite direction and removes support to existing features
It would be nice to hear what they are going to do after EDO instead just what they are NOT going to do anytime soon if at all. Can they be honest about it?- probably not without to effect console sales - because in my mind the truth is "we don't have major plans for ED, but just let it run for as long as it still does. Thanks for your money though." Everything else would be just empty promises.
i do as well not understand people who seriously think Mr. Braben is held back from fulfilling his vision - he is the CEO, the man in charge, he decides to drop features he himself had promised. He is the one not delivering and not even showing any intend to keep his promises nor have any regret on just not keeping his word.

if not removed, certainly deprecated.
So is EDO, sort of in practical terms
It’s mostly played as PVE however it’s labeled as MP and as such VR is going to useless in an FPS environment. The technology is just not there yet. Ship to ship combat yes, on ground combat no.So is EDO, sort of in practical terms
You're right, I stand corrected. They didn't remove it, they stopped supporting it for the new features.
But they were about to do it until we complained out loud last year when they wanted to remove VR from ships and SRV's in Odyssey.
...and?
I'm not comparing the games, I'm comparing the devs attitude and commitment.
Yeah, I quite agree with that
I think that isn't true either. You see, the critics like to use the same type of disinformation strategy like FD marketing does. Sometimes deliberately - which I really despise. Sometimes by hearsay, and then I'd like to clear up the misconception.
Frontier have never seen VR as worth spending money on - it was added to the original game by a VR enthusiast by the name of Greg in a few days of dev time. Frontier then jumped on the VR bandwagon (built for VR from the ground up my a.r.s.e), only to jump off the next time they found they had to plan dev resources for it.

Already on the bandwagon:

It's time that we pay homage again to Greg - all hail king Greg!!!!
Communication was never FDEVs strongest side, however if you’re asking for VR that works in a MP with FPS elements it’s not that easy, the communication regarding VR was surly not very good and they should have stated early on that it was not going to happen on foot any day soon.
I saw that coming a mile away, no FPS game have done this before with any success not with MP involved.
I think a lot depends on how you want to do it, but put it this way: the FPS part of Odyssey is always going to be compared unfavourably to the stiff competition out there in dedicated FPS games - why not aim for a point of difference in having VR support? Don't forget that fdev originally intended to remove VR altogether, just to avoid the lack of a seemless transition from ship to foot.
