A big thanks to the Frontier team for all the effort to create it!
This will be amazing!

About the 4K, well it doesn't surprise me. A 4K monitor is expensive as biiiiiip. Not only you will need to pay an expensive monitor, but also the GPU that comes with it. A bit like VR.
New hardware in development? For gaming? Any source for that?
Las ttime I cheked there where projects on the works for game compatible VR, and nothing high end, as it would be required to play Odissey without a pucking bag at all times. ( who am I kidding, you'll puke even with a high end VR set).
Will odessey support VR?
No idea. At this point its all speculation.
But if it doesn't, don't worry, VR players will still be able to play Vanilla and Horizons.
And this bit of info might explain as to why not.
I mean, Frontier's interest is to attract new costumers, not to pander to a portion of its playing community.
Many VR players will drop out of the game if its confirmed, and that is sad.
But chances are that they will gain WAY more players that simply don't care about VR.
Its sad to say, but at this point, with those numbers, VR for gaming is pretty much dead.
Not even Alyx could save it, pretty sure ED wont either.
Lol, no way man. You're a bit out of touch. Those numbers are deceiving. Between oculus quest success and HL alyx, VR is on a hard upswing.
ED Odyssey I assume will support VR as the base game already does. Whether or not the game will do full room scale is the question. However, if no man's sky can do it, I would image frontier has the skill and resources to do it.

Diplomatic missions have me intrigued. I'm hoping it involves a mini game handing out Ferrero Rocher at the Imperial ambassador's party.
Yeah saying 2% of steam users use VR so FDEV shouldn't care when Elite was a game marketed on VR, used by many VR gamers, and likely has amuch higher percent of VR players then the entire PC gaming platform as a whole seems silly.
So do we think they meant to release this today, and just set the video to "public" a few minutes early, before the forum post was ready?
Or did they mean to upload something else (Fleet Carrier-related maybe) and posted the wrong video?
If the latter, I hope whoever it was in the community management team is getting their baws booted too hard over Zoom.

Not entirely on foot. But you may want to explore places that a ship or SRV can't get to, like the inside of alien bases, derelict ships that have been found out in the black, cave systems etc. I'm sure they are not expecting you to stop using your ship or SRV when space legs comes out.
Is this covered by the lifetime expansion pass?)) (not answered anywhere that I can see)
Yes, it is.
They do have the skill, and the know how. This much we know. The question is, is it worth it?
Dev time is expensive you know?
Thanks bro
I was speaking towards the graphical side of things. But it's not like engineered/Player opponents in this game manage to be less Bullet spongy than anything the Division offered.
Joined frontier forum in april 2020 yes, not the game.
I'm playing since horizons too, so 2015.
So ok you are not new (i can be wrong) but you impresse me to still beleive in fdev. I would like to trust them and when they will release odyssey we will see it
ED is the only game worth the VR...Rest are children games.
There are no other immersive VR game on the market like ED. And god knows i am the first one to rant against ED.
My guess, if you purchase Odyssey, you get Horizons free. (wich, at this point, is pretty much already free)
