Lots of people are saying that today.
Aye, that'll work
Nice graphical update. Skies look pretty good too.
Like many, I’d like an answer on whether we will be able to walk around our ships, or even the cockpits, and if the transition to first person EVA will be like deploying the SRV, or if we get up out of our seats and head to the hatch.
If VR ever ends up being supported in EDO to any degree, a manual transition and ship interior exploration would be must haves in my book, but still something I’d want to see in flatscreen play.

I wonder how old this footage is. That's the old speed indicator with flat lines not the new one with chevrons. Or maybe they're bringing the old one back (would be nice along with blue bookmarks, original docking menu w/clock, etc).
I am kind of curious as to how you see the controls working for Odyssey? I play Elite in VR but I am totally not bothered by not having VR support at the launch of Odyssey. The only way it would work is if you could use the same control method for all aspects of the game (flying, driving and walking). I don't see many people using a HOTAS to walk around. Or fumble about whilst in VR to reach for the right control input when they transition from flight/driving to walking.
Having said that, I am currently training myself to play the game with mouse and keyboard for everything so that when Odyssey does release I won't have to mess around moving a HOTAS or dual sticks out of the way to pull my keyboard in closer somehow so that I can walk around with mouse and keyboard.
I understand the want to have VR for all the modes but I am genuinely interested to hear how VR players expect to control everything assuming Odyssey supported VR.

Looks good.
Given they're so coy about gameplay at the moment im still only expecting the same as the current space and srv model but dressed for feet.
The promo video did make me smile in anticipation though.
So good video? Elite has never never really dropped the ball with graphics, and that's one positive they're still keeping the tent up with inspiring visuals at least.

Any 4k footage?
So kind of like how No Mans Sky does it in VR?
Maybe that just highlights how important VR is in the game
Certainly important to me .... and I understand the VR community wanting to make this abundantly clear to FDev that VR is important.
We shall not go quietly into the night. We shall not vanish without a fight. We want VR to live on! We want VR to survive! We are fighting for our freedom to roam, united in our common interest. We are fighting for our right to VR, for a game like no other!
I’ve played using an Xbox 360 wireless pad since the first Beta, continued once I moved into VR three years ago. Having played SubnauticaVR and the Alien: Isolation VR mod using the pad, I’d expect to continue controlling the game the same as our console brethren do.
Even from my rabid desire for Powerplay updates, you come across as even more crazy than me.
Kind of, but with better cockpit controls.
I'd agree there have been too may VR posts on this thread, BUT
David Braben hasn't been on an Elite dedicated stream for years and I think it's the best chance of getting a straight yes/no answer.
@Stephen Benedetti , please get David to talk about if VR is coming or not, a straight answer from him could stop all the speculation. Thank you.
That shows how far back that footage is. When were the chevrons introduced?Current EDSM entry for that planet for the curious.
