ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Odyssey PC Launch Date
- Thread starter Bruce G
- Start date
I read this as it will take that long to optimize the game for less-capable hardware. I really don't see any other reason for the console release to be delayed.
Which means my days of flying in VR end in a few weeks, because I'm right on the edge of acceptable framerate for VR. Same goes with my 2D 4K gaming experience - it works great now, but it's right on the threshold. Oh well.
Less-capable hardware, yes. But did someone tell FDEV about XSX and PS5? No? Too bad.
I only left the forums for a couple of hours and they go and delay phase 4, reveal that they're fully releasing the game in under a month and I've still not got my stream deck.
Im livid which one of the 20 its too soon threads should I post in first?
I think this is a good time to make a thread of your own in which you describe passionately how you used to love this game, but you were let down by developers and community and so you will leave the game.
Maybe? Or maybe stop leaving the forum?
I'm not worried, I have SPACE ENGINEERS
Two questions.
You mad bro?
Could you please ask FD to delay release for 30 years or so?
Considering your track record on that matter that will give us about 3 extra days
No, I'm assuming that they have someone updating the tickets when they confirmed and creating bugs in their internal bug tracking system for dev's to work.
It's hard to understand their logic really, we've 'Alpha' testing for a few weeks, they still have all the engine optimisations to implement and probably a few little features to add and the planet tech to finish. So when they've done all that ( along with fixes as many bugs reported as possible ) - that's when you'd have a brief Beta, maybe only a week long. I don't think they have time to do all of that work before release. The PC release will be the Beta release.
By the time it gets to Consoles it should be reasonably polished.

X4 Foundations currently has my heart.
Space legs, ship interiors, walking around, base building, crafting, carriers with no upkeep costs, and above everything else... completely offline.
Plus on console release we'll get the actual final version patch to get PC on par.
We don't use blasphemous words around here.
X4 currently has a place on my wishlist for the next Steam sale, thanks to folks like you winning me over on that thread. So yeah, "worried" is a relative term. Frontier beat the "worry" out of me with Elephant Butt Leather and Dancing Disco Shadows. These days I just roll with the punches.
(Sorry to go off topic, I'll behave now, though it might be good for Frontier to see that they push at least some of us to other games if Odyssey is another Cyberpunk 2077)

@frontier please release Odyssey on Saturday the 22nd of May please.
Stream deck please.
Apologies.
Oh, and did I mention that if bugs are found, the developers actually fix them before moving onto the next new shiny MVP?
Stuff like that really does make all the difference. There are bugs in E: D's base game that have been there for years and they're not getting fixed in Odyssey. Unforgivable really.
All the people worrying about bugs making into the live release. Pssh.
The live game is already riddled with bugs, some dating back several years now. If they released polished Odyssey content it'd just look out of place.

To everyone who, in the past 8 pages of this thred, who have said words along the lines of....Oh Good, I can't wait, or Brilliant i look forward to the 19th of May, Obviously have NOT been involved in the Alpha. If they release this game in the state it is now, then god help this forum it WILL EXPLODE!

For me, as a console player, the best game, with a very responsive developer (Digital Extremes) is Warframe.
Yes, they do have bugs, but they're really listening to the community in squashing them as soon as possible. Oh, and the updates, and new content. And actual consoles' version of the game too.
But wait, that's a free-to-play game
