Did I see a slight FP look around the cockpit? Only slight movement but ...
This is most likely the regular free headlook you have with a gamepad attached.
I can make the same headmovement when playing on my Xbox.
All the ships have had stairs, it's just we've never used them yet!
Stairs and/or some kind of moving platform build into the front landing leg. Like on the Python and Krait.
... and how will that feeling of actually being the first to set foot on a new planet and surrounded by a thin helmet be conveyed through a flat screen a meter away?
There is only one way to actually do that justice and it is usually denoted by a two-letter abbreviation.
This can be perfectly conveyed on a 2D screen. No need for VR for that.
I remember the first time playing Halo 4 on my Xbox. Seeing the parts of Chief's helmet at the edges of the screen made me feel like I was wearing the helmet and Mjölnir suit.
Hello, nice video, but why the "sexist" helmets ?
At around 1:06 the men's helmet has two vertical bars while the female one is round with one horizontal bar. Chest armor begin different I could get behind for "anatomical" reasons, but head and eyes and vision is vastly the same across all 2+ genders of humans, right ? So why do they present it like different genders with different helmets ? And don't go "they couldn't put two guys with variations helmet could they" because of course they could, and also keep one guy and show 4 variations, or put one black man and one white woman (or asian, or latino, or whatever floats your boat) and so on and so forth. but they show us one man, one woman, and the helmets look different.
Plus you get an "ingame" shot afterwards of a female outside of her SRV with what appears to be an imperial gun (white, curved, sleek) that has this exact same weird helmet. so why are women treated differently ?
No judgement or anything, don't want to offend anyone either, just wondering aloud.
Nothing sexist here, just a viewcase of different helmet and suit types. The Buurpit made a good comment on it in their breakdown of the Dev Diary.
Speak for yourself. Entering the Forgotten Vale and Blackreach for the first time in Skyrim on Xbox 360 literally took my breath away.
There is a point where exposing yourself to big toys will ruin the simpler things for you.
If Odyssey gives me anything like those two locations, or when I first landed on planet years ago in Horizons, on a flat-screen, then I am gonna' be happy. As are most of the community because you know as well as I do that VR players are anything but a majority.
Word. As mentioned above I had a similar experience playing Halo 4.
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.
One difference for us console players is that you can not change your input device once you've booted up the game. If you boot it up using a gamepad that'll be your main input device, same when you boot it up with a HOTAS. Still can use my chatpad on the controller to input system-names, but beyond that the HOTAS is my main input source.
1 mod says no VR chat another mod specifically asks a vr question.
Personally I think one of the big strengths of ED is it's controller agnosism. I use a hotas for flying my ship and a pad for my SRV.
I would expect to do the same in ED:O.
For non competetive gaming personally I prefer a pad to a KB/M in general so I thing I will be fine with the controls.
Alas not for the Xbox, see my statement above.
On the topic of ship interiors, you'd think this is something FDev would want to get ahead of. May as well just come out and say "no ship interiors" now rather than waiting and letting the community continue to hype itself up on it until Odyssey releases. The fewer question marks leading up to release the better (I realize we are still a ways away).
I think Fdev are keeping their cards to their chests. Imagine they announce walkable ship interiors, what else would there be to announce? I think, just like Obsidian Ant, that if walkable ship interiors are coming they'll announce it closer to release to build up hype.
Please, PLEASE! Let us walk around our ship's interior! I know for a fact that my Imperial Cutter has a pool inside I wanna swim in it!
See my statement above.
Now, I am looking forward to the new update. The planets look freaking amazing! I hope the upgrades to the planetary tech will trickle down to Horizons and the base game, to give the CMDR's that won't be upgrading to Odyssey something to look forward as well.
As for the walking around your ship. I fear it'll be the same as when you enter your SRV, going off the DD1 and livestream. A fade to black and presto, you're outside your ship.
I hope they'll surpise us closer to release though.
Now when will the next dev diary drop? I hope for one at least every month till release, 2 per month would be better.
