Console Update

Sorry, it's taken so long for myself and TTE Industries to respond but I took a nap and now my personal assistant in charge of waking me has been fired.

As to the topic at hand its sad but hardly surprising.

TTE Industries stands ready to supply as many eggs as are needed in these obviously trying times.

07 commandos.
I think you may have to break out the emergency stash of pickled eggs for this one.

:D S

We are exploring options for transfers but at present have nothing to announce.
Hey, just wanted to point out that save migration has been achieved in the past. Unintentionally, of course, but achieved nonetheless. So it is definitely possible. As you will see in the pics, this was confirmed by paige, a former CM, so it's authentic. Please let the devs know we need them to make full account transfers a reality. Not just assets. And shown them these pics. It's only fair after odyssey on console has been abandoned.

I do have PC accounts and if there is an option to move my PS4 commander there I will certainly consider that.

That would be good. I can definietly see why this decision has come and I bet it wasn't an easy one either. Nobody ever likes to restrict a market for their product.

I'd hate to see the console bretheren completely cut out of it too though. Mirroring unsupported accounts over to a PC gamesave, to anyone willing or able to pick up from there, would be awesome. (@David Braben )
 
So Series X / PS5 is legacy hardware now then? What are you smoking.

Nobody expected it to be on previous gen hardware (myself included) but to drop ALL console support? Come on .. even you aren't going to be that disingenuous are you?
They never announced support for next gen consoles, in fact just the opposite was communicated as far back as I paid attention to it. So frankly you can take a hike.


Un-freaking-believeable. We won't darken each other's doors again though.

Your right there .. you really are Un-freaking-believable .. And you know what you can do.
 
Greetings Commanders,

Elite Dangerous is a game close to my heart.

It’s no secret that Odyssey’s launch was less than ideal, including the need to split the PC/console player base to focus on a PC-only launch. Since Odyssey’s release in May 2021, we have worked tirelessly to improve the Odyssey experience on PC, and whilst we have made great progress there is still more to be done. We have been supporting the pre-Odyssey and post-Odyssey codebases since.

Over the last several months, we have been wrestling with the best way to move forward, and it is with a heavy heart we have decided to cancel all console development. We need to be able to move forward with the story of the game, and in order for us to do this we need to focus on a single codebase. Elite Dangerous will continue on console as it is now together with critical updates, but we will focus on new content updates on PC on the post-Odyssey codebase.

We appreciate this news is not what our console community were hoping for. This was not an easy decision to make, but it was made with the long-term future of Elite Dangerous in mind.
So one last tip for you and your team,

you should overhaul your main page, long Term relation building and quality and on time deliver for your products are by fact not true. 👍
 
I like clarity. Clarity is good.

But although I am on the PC side of things, it feels like a leg has been amputated (so many players left behind). I believe the minimum is to offer them a PC account with free Odyssey.
More like a foot. Console was a minority. The pc playerbase was vastly bigger and will grow more as console players move to PC (like they always shouod have)
 
Very sad news.

Frontier should now imperatively look for a way that we can port our console accounts to PC.

20 ships perfectly engineered, bought a fleet carrier, participated in every CG since months - for nothing? You cannot be serious.


Next Horizons Update should offer a possibility (and the shield percentage display 😉😜).
