That look frikken awesome!!
Don't need VR Legs, but since Odyssey won't even allow VR Flight, guess this is end of the road for many :/

- Start date
Odyssey will have VR given the time, im pretty sure. Don't panic, Frontier Developers are trustworthy people and they will surely add the vr feature.
On steam they could have a VR beta option? Not officially supported. But yeah it's a bit messy!Some kind of 'experimental branch', with no PR hype, and no markings on the store, is a possibilty (although I don't actually know how the Steam system works. Does it auto-detect? Is it publisher designated?). It would assuage a section of the fanbase. (I wouldn't say no to at least being able to fly around in the proposed ground warzones)
The confusion in the VR market would still be fairly inevitable though.
At minimum, they certainly couldn't market it as a VR game.

On steam in many games that do not officially support vr or it is a mod you need to enable a specific setting in the game library to enable beta or experimental builds. It's the case for Euro Truck for example.

I'm not sure that PSVR users would agree to such optimism
For sure, and honestly I'd be surprised if modders can't find a fix during Odyssey betas for generic 'VR on' too. (Which would only really be good for flight etc).
What I meant is that fdev can leave vr in without advertise it so vr players can still play in the ships by enabling this option from the steam library. It's clearly a beta option so no reviewer could remove points for this
Yeah, it just depends on how you interpret the statement and how optimistic/pessemistic you are.
Like i said, i'd find it strange if they disabled it for ships (and SRV) when its already working, unless their changes are breaking that.
And then, if it is a code change issue, then wouldn't that break it for Horizons/base game as well? Then shouldn't they say VR will not be supported for ED at all?

Will Elite Dangerous support PlayStation®VR?
Elite Dangerous is a flagship VR game on PC so of course, VR is important to us. It’s
definitely something we’re looking into, but we have nothing to announce for launch.
-- Well, we know how that turned out. --

Yes all the promises
Depends on the extent to which they are freezing the Horizons fork.
I don't think it's the code itself breaking VR, I fully expect that a some of the changes will make it through to Base/Horizons which should hopefully still support VR (that would be a serious burnt bridge if they remove VR from the older versions), it's a matter of differentiating between Odyssey and the main game and to prevent accidental VRing in Odyssey content. It won't be disabled in general, only disabled for those that are running Odyssey as it would be much easier to disable VR at the game launcher stage rather than have the computer spit out an error message the moment you try to do anything on foot in VR (can you imagine how bad it would be if the game required a restart every time you wanted to get out of your seat? The reviewers would have a field day!).
It won't be broken using your ship in Odyssey, but instead disabled for simplicity's sake and to present a streamlined experience for the a user that is playing Odyssey. It might even be possible for people experienced with hacking VR into things to reenable VR for parts of Odyssey, as the majority of the DirectX hooks and things like that are likely to already be there.
I think a pessimist would expect that all the new update content requires Odyssey and Horizons gets abandoned from here on out, with Odyssey requiring disabling VR at the launcher; an optimist would expect that Odyssey shuts out VR when enabled, but everything except space legs is folded into the Horizons and so is fully VR compatible; while a realist would expect that Odyssey would support VR except for the space legs content, with the game requiring some kind of soft reset to disengage VR when shifting to space legs content. I guess it ultimately could fall anywhere in that spectrum; I'm hoping for the optimistic view to turn out correct, but I'm fully expecting that FD will do everything they can to "encourage" users to upgrade to Odyssey, which of course is easiest to do by shafting Horizons players.
Absolute zero?
It's pretty easy to greatly improve a game that was complete garbage to start with. The only direction it could have gone was up.
sigh...yes garbage, just because it didn't have mp......<rolls eyes>
Fully Concur!
