Elite Dangerous: Odyssey | The Road To Odyssey Part 1 - One Giant Leap

[Old Duck]

Hello, nice video, but why the "sexist" helmets ?

Nature is sexist (women are given different "curvy" chests than men, for example), so give Frontier a break.

I quite like the suits!

Maybe for the subset of players who have bought in to VR. For those who have not, flat screen is the way.

Flatscreen players are not in a position where they are gonna lose their display method. I'm sure if it was announced Odyssey would be mobile only those who use giant flatscreens would be unhappy

Walking around? OK. Finally. Blue sky and sunsets? Totally awesome.

One small step for man. One giant leap for future ED cities!

<ignore me - I didn't read the OP properly>

Looks very good! Now can I walk around in my ships?

im expecting 200 posts about lack of VR shortly. stay tuned.
but on a serious note, graphics look amazing ! sampling flora is also really nice! i cant wait to see the "combat and fps gameplay" dev diary. well done FDEV. im glad the dev diaries are back

 

[VR SenseiMatty]

What is this....??? Do we really need to destroy every planet that we explore? I mean this thing is huge... Isn't it maybe out of scale?

We've already begun yo

Here come the VR boys to destroy the thread.

You already have your answers. Not at launch and they are investigating it.

 

[Robert Maynard]

This was not the point. The point was that the best way of creating a feeling for actually being there and get that awe-inspiring sense of scale is VR. Having a flat screen a meter away is like watching a documentary in comparison.

That it may be, in the opinion of those who have access to the equipment.

I never said flatscreen should not be an option, just that VR is what would best embody all they say they want to convey.

That it might - at a hardware pricepoint that might restrict access to a relatively small subset of the player-base.

Here come the VR boys

and girls. and you sound mean tbh

 

[Old Duck]

sorry but NO VR, NO BUY

Dear Frontier, not this post does not represent everyone who owns VR. If Odyssey lives up to these videos, I'll buy it, VR or not.

That said, please consider at least giving us VR seats on atmospheric worlds

I'm a VR boy, and I'm kinda embarrassed at how my comrades are behaving... We're not all like this!

 

[NathanKerbonaut]

Don't let the haters bring you down, FDevs. Love what you've shown so far and looking forward to the stream later.

 

[Rat Catcher]

Really?? I mean the only difference to the current SRV is just the missing thrusters on the wheels... I would expect much more than this 5 years later the first SRV...

I'm easily pleased and expect nothing, but then, I just like the game so anything that tickles my 'like' button is fine by me.

I'm a VR user too... But not one of the protesters - no noise from me on that front

YMMV, of course.

 

[Kzak]

Tonight, we will be streaming a Discovery Scanner episode at 18:00 (UTC) on the Elite Dangerous Official Twitch Channel, to take a deeper look into the dev diary with CEO David Braben, and Senior Designer Derin Halil.

The Braben! Yeah, definetly going to watch this one.

 

[Barking_Mad]

I second this. VR support is a must for me and the more voices we have the better.

ED is a VR game to many.

There's a thread with 7k posts on it. We don't need a other. Cheers.

One small step for man

I only have one problem with this statement also resumed few times by FDEV in the video...
Is this small step preceded by a fading transition? Or will I be able to walk the previous steps on my own in my ship?

 

[Katie Byrne]

lol if you dont like our objections to the lack of VR then it's working.

protest has to be intrusive or it doesnt mean anytihng

So all of the same stuff I avoid doing in the SRV I can now avoid doing on foot.

 

[Robert Maynard]

Flatscreen players are not in a position where they are gonna lose their display method.

We've been told that VR is not being removed from existing game content - so neither are VR players losing their display method.

That VR is not going to be included in Odyssey at launch suggests to me that one or more non-trivial implementation issues exist regarding non-seated gameplay.

I'm sure if it was announced Odyssey would be mobile only those who use giant flatscreens would be unhappy

HDMI adapters for phones exist.
