It’sa written interview. So no video. I can’t decide in truth what the F he is actually saying, which is why asked for opinions. He seems to be dating interiors are there but the community are not pleased they all look the same… in which case he much be talking about the concourse of stations?
Same here. M$ have destroyed any number of game franchises over the years by acquiring them. They already have too much of a monopoly; they suck.
The question to ask is whether we think Microsoft would take their time and bring us to the heights of gaming pleasure, or are they much more likely to grind away, mindlessly pumping out titles that don't really satisfy.Same here.

has long has you pay for there subcription fees , i sure they won't mind what you do,and don't forget you download there xbox companion too.
It's apples to oranges really, Elite is still in continual development so it can't really be compared to JWE2, which is meant to be a finished title - like a lot of those who are critical of Elite/Odyssey somewhat overlook. Though I agree that the shortfall has to be made up somewhere, though it's very evident that they fell a ways behind schedule on Odyssey, I'm going to put that down to covid lockdowns but there could be more to it than that. Either way, assuming that the plan is still go for Elite's full development arc, Odyssey will be fixed, then it's eyes on the console port (or not), and off to the next expansion.
Not aimed specifically at you but it makes me laugh when we have wailing and gnashing of teeth about how FDev is bad for lack of FPS above what most consider to be decent and if Elite is canceled the recommendation is for a FFE homebrew port with 2002 era graphics and frame drops in its promo video. Though I guess FDev didn't make it, so it will be overlooked
But that's just the passion to see Elite succeed on display, I'm sure!It can be both to varying degrees. It shouldn't be overlooked that there are some with real legit gripes and then there are those with popcorn who, for whichever reason, are happy to see it all burn. It's difficult to tell the difference if everyone who tries to be positive about the situation is labeled a white knight, and everyone with legit complaints get defensive and ends up supporting those who are more interested in watching it all burn, putting themselves against those who are maybe seeking a more measured approach to the situation that doesn't end up with, say, a situation where FDev could be bought out and Elite canceled. But hey... as long as it can be claimed it was all done to make Elite better...If you look at the manifesto of the "A Call For Frontier To Put VR Legs On The Upcoming Road Map" thread, it was stated that "We would ask FDev to roadmap or otherwise clarify the plans for VR’s future. If roadmapped we would of course expect a later waypoint on the route, to ensure that Frontier can focus on fixing Odyssey's more pressing issues, for everyone's benefit." - So much for "I want it now"All we are asking for is a pledge from the company to do a very small tweak to the game that ties up elements that we have already proven are within the games capability, and that they do so AFTER EVERYTHING ELSE.
I spoke with Jay and the reason he said "a later waypoint" rather than specify what would be coming before VR was he wasn't sure if the company would want to put VR into PC version before console port so they could port it to PS with support for PSVR2 on PS5 when they launched on console, or if they'd just want to get the console launch done then come back to VR.
And as for the hate, yeah, there's been a lot of that thrown in our direction, summer 2020 seen us getting called all sorts like "entitled boxhead whiners", even yet, in this very thread even we are getting told to go play other games, such community spirit.
Please stop spreading this outright false claim, at this point it only amounts to trolling.
Take it to the SC forum, feature complete in 2015 is calling.
That's some reading between the lines right there.
Hindsight is 20/20 but although I agree that it sounds better, they would have still caught flak to a greater or lesser degree. The choice obviously was who to pee off the least, and likely it was the investors who keep the lights on, with FDev hoping that the 'community' would be placated with 'yes, we have some teething problems, but we have a plan to keep working on it till it's where it needs to be", which I think can be read into their statements pre-release to that effect of "don't worry, there's more coming guys".
Exactly, it's a form of sour grapes talking.But legs on planets and stations was "promised" and part of the dream. Not making a FPS would seem like missing a low hanging fruit. Imagine the forum rage, if we could step onto a planet together without being able to murder or shoot anything!
