Unfortunately the only thing we can do is to keep banging this drum, keep bumping this thread for visibility, and maybe organise a campaign on Reddit.
Or, at the very least, an explanation as to why they advertised a feature that never made it into the final product.
This and the other pre-alpha shots that FDev showed off are what sold me on Odyssey, and what we have now is so damn disappointing. That and Cyberpunk really made me decide that even with companies that I thought were reliable/dependable, I can't trust what is shown to us. I'm hanging on a thread with this game and company. I voted in the issue tracker as well, just in case that gives the slightest chance of getting what we were originally shown.
This was mentioned in a livestream (I think it was with Dr Ross) - if I remember correctly it was changed due to artistic reasons, it was felt that the faint stars would be a visible reminder that you’re on a tenuous atmosphere world.
Yes, plenty. You just need to open the screenshots thread and you can find a dozen examples within a minute.
Link to one.
Just open the screenshots thread and find a few yourself...
Can you see stars in your examples?
The discussion I linked to specifically has to do with atmospheres in-game looking thinner than they did in marketing materials. Stars are only one part of that (see below). Photos like the one in the post I linked are what got many folks excited about Odyssey in the first place. There is a reason the marketing team went with a photo like that.
I disagree. The screenshots you posted clearly show deep space "bleeding through" the atmosphere much more than in the marketing material. Yes, stars are one aspect of that. But the color is as well. Notice how the blue sky you linked to has a darker hue.
And yet the top voted comment to your link disagrees with you...
You're grasping at straws. Upvotes is not the same thing as truth. If that was the case I could argue that the post itself has 456 upvotes which is greater than the amount of people that upvoted the top comment.
I don't know if you read it, but the stars thing was already adressed...
What exactly is different apart from the stars?
What, the post where you said that if you painted some stars onto the promo image then it’d look like the current game where we always see stars through the tenuous atmospheres?
