ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement
- Status
I assume if you use a HOTAS you get to imagine that instead of walking around you're piloting some kind of bipedal mech from a head mounted cockpit
I would be keen to have planetary FPS gameplay (although it is not at all a priority), if FDev is able to add good, solid fps gameplay loops.
Take for example the open world gameplay in Ubisoft's Wildlands. I would love something like that.:
- You explore the beautiful open world, traveling in all kinds of ground and air vehicles,
- You use tools like long range binoculars, high powered gunsights, and remotely controlled drones to observe (military) bases and enemy movements from afar.
- You select your targets carefully and take out guards and surveillance systems.
- You try not to set of alarms, which would call in reinforcements in armoured vehicles, or helicopters
- you infiltrate bases to steal information or assassinate persons, or you steal resources and vehicles for the people you work for
- You interrogate persons, or use stolen documents to obtain new targets in other parts of the open world.
This kind of gameplay would be awesome in an open galaxy like ED's. I would love it.
Ubisoft created some magnificent open world FPS gameplay in Wildlands. The AI is not perfect, but interesting enough to make for a very cool shooter with many unexpected moments. I am addicted to it. I have poured more than 500 single play hours into Wildlands and am still playing it almost every day.
I am afraid though that FDev will design nothing even remotely like it, or as interesting like it.
I very much hope I am completely and embarrassingly wrong.

I feel like that in real life...
So, Mechwarrior, instead of COD?
Use your time wisely and carefully create your own story...commander!
That is great, if FDev creates the prerequisites to do so.
Gamepads only.
Though one of the thing you can't blame FDEV for is controller support: it's one of the best game around here on this precise topic, both given the number of bindable actions and ways of binding them and multiple concurrent controllers support.

Exactly my plan. HOTAS for vehicles, and my trusty Steam Controller for for FPS.

And, the infinite ways it forgets those bindings....

If they include on-foot Thargoid combat, just think of them as Kaiju
You'll need a 8a imagination module for ship interiors and I heard no mention of caves yet!

Agreed. I wanted to add a 'but' or 'unless', but changed my mind as it would have been an essay. Can't find a 'Cancel' button, so posted.
Keyboard only. It will work like 'Track And Field' on the Commodore 64 et. al. For those that weren't around then, locomotion was enabled by left and right finger tapping for each leg.
Just delete all the text then hit reply & it'll throw up an error & nothing gets posted. I write a lot more than I actually post

I tried doing that but the text reappeared when I re loaded the page. It's probably because it's way past my bed time and I haven't got any Horlicks/Cocoa.
[EDIT} Come to think of it, I didn't do that (what you said). Think I should turn the light off now.
