ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Announcement
- Status
Oh, that's good to know; which games?
Way more than 3%
There are over 4 million PC headsets in use, the announcement of Half-Life alyx sold out valve and Oculus headsets alone and on day one of the release that game had 50,000 people playing. So if Fdev would have shown the video playing Odyssey in both 2D and VR, the VR community would have exploded with excitement, it would have brought a ton of new players to the game. Just another missed opportunity.
Yes, that decision is downright insulting. I deliberately spent quite a lot of money in Frontier Store to SUPPORT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF ELITE.
I'm a VR-only player and they just lost me a customer and a FAN. Your sorry attempts at sarcasm hardly change anything.
Being as I bough a VR compatible game how do I get a refund for my LEP? Having been a customer for this long I know what your statement on VR means (it isn't ever going to work with VR because you can't be bothered to make it work). Not fit for purpose / breach of contract want my money back?
BTW It didn't ship with it. Remember how NMS actually shipped? I remember. I liked it on launch too, unlike the mass waves of people that didn't and felt lied to. Be careful with comparisons.
accord to this Not compatible at launch, Yes
Unfortunately some people enjoy moaning rather than appreciating what they have or will be receiving, and i assume are the same in real life, all i can say to those that feel so strongly is uninstall the game and leave the forums or hey just wait to purchase Odyssey when VR is available.
I am 100% Frontier have a reason that VR is not supported in the future update and understand it will not fit everyone and they will address it over time, and i am also sure they have not excluded VR to personally upset you, it just does not fit the update YET?
What is Nonsense about that???
Exactly that, my friend.
Odyssey contains amazing tech (shortened) that doesn't appear to be backward compatible with previous versions. (I'd surmise that it has been built on a newer version of Cobra that didn't have VR hooks included - maybe the latest 'park' version?)
We may only have to wait briefly for the whole team to integrate the VR code, but seeing as orbit lines in VR have been awry for more than a year, I wonder if they actually have any competent VR Devs left working there...

Always assume the money you use to buy a game pays for a Ferrari.Yes, that decision is downright insulting. I deliberately spent quite a lot of money in Frontier Store to SUPPORT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF ELITE.

If you want to support a game, you invest money, not buy a retail product.
You're talking as if we're asking for it to be VR only. No one is saying that.
You yourself started in VR, imagine how many others have, and remained in VR. It's really crappy to be told you can't play in VR anymore. And let's be honest, thats what is being said to a lot of CMDRS now - me included - you can't play in VR anymore.

Why not just continue lobbying for them to implement it in the future? If enough people continue doing so, that's the evidence they need that it's still a worthwhile task. If all of the VR players quit, it's more likely that you're only guaranteeing that they will not add it in later because you're withdrawing all interest.
I'd like to hear what Frontier's plans for VR are long term after Odyssey. Is VR being dropped entirely at some point or is it something that will be added down the road in a future patch?
The reason i bought ED was the fact that it had VR support. And while i enjoyed all my time so far playing the game my only regret is having bought the LEP when Horizons released. With dropped VR support, the LEP may have turned out a even bigger waste of money for me after all these years without an paid expansion.

ok good. so is Odessey a totally separate FPS or is it like the Horizons was where if you have it you can land on planets and if you don't you can't? Will we at least be able to get atmospheric planet landing in Horizons?
is it like, a case where VR won't work at all if you're playing in "Odyessy mode" but will still work in "Horizon mode"? As long we we can still use VR for the space bits when we want I don't think I'd be too upset.
While Elite is my fav VR game of all time, I think I'm ok with no VR for "walking" cause it's just always so nauseating to me... just doesn't feel like they have figured it out yet - it's like the "T9 style keyboard and trackball" keyboard when it comes to walking, IMHO

Hahahaa.. With SC running at 20 fps when it's not in VR mode? I don't think so. Remember: two eyes to render at 90 ftp. Even at a modest 1600x1600 resolution per eye, that's a lot of pixels to push
You can do that through Frontier Store support. Don't get your hopes up there though. There's not enough information about their future plans and I'm sure you have had plenty of time put into the game. If you want to pursue 'breach of contract', bring it up to a lawyer, legal speak isn't going to get you far here.
