For these interested for play Odyssey via GeforceNow: it's planned to have it there, but not right on start, date of release on GFN is TBD. I got this reply from nVidia and also Frontier support.
But it's really beautiful!
Apart from that you also pay for scientifically more correct planets. I'd actually pay double for that...
My main concern is performance.
If performance remains at Odyssey Alpha levels and the improvements are implemented in Horizons, this will make Horizons a real pain to play when near stations and on planets. Not "literally unplayable" but enough to probably put me off playing until i can get a better graphics card or performance improvements are made.
If Horizons retains good performance while Odyssey has bad, then i can live with that for some time.
If the performance improvements do come to Odyssey/Horizons, then cool.

Not if they're landed on planets
Would it help if they added some tech terms to explain the difference between an unoptimized alpha and and optimised release? I'm sure they could pretend they've added iCache or OCS if that would reassure you

I rather resent that statement.
I've clocked up over 8,000 hours in EDH so I don't consider that as "isn't that much into the game anyway".
I'm not buying EDO because it's not offering any exploration content other than point a widget at a vegetable and press a button. When that situation changes, I'll be sure to reconsider my decision.
This is not much different from what we have to deal with today, Cmdrs who do not do BGS or PowerPlay in Open. Basically it is just another form of PG.

That's the real market fdev are going after!

They're really not.
Wait, Call of Duty has a new rock scatter system on tenuous atmosphere worlds? Count me in!
Refunders are doomed to rebuy. Or so I hear.
It's too soon to say.
We have ourselves a Kelvin timeline... At least until the Great Reunification in the Autumn.IIRC, what you are saying is that Horizons that I load up and play on May 20th will be identical to the Horizons I play today. This Fall, however, when consoles get Odyssey, then certain graphical updates will be rolled back into Horizons on PC. Is this correct?
If this is true, then I'm totally fine with that. In fact, I prefer it this way. There are some changes Odyssey brings (like UI and potential performance hits) that I don't want forced on me as a Horizons owner, and I'm hoping these things will be fixed come Fall.
The one thing I'm having trouble wrapping my head around is the differences in planetary outposts between Horizons and Odyssey. As I picture it, Odyssey will literally be a parallel universe to Horizons, with not only new and different outposts, but the same outposts (like engineering bases) being of different design in order to fit into the different procgen terrain. It feels like FDev will need to maintain two separate stellar forges for this to work..
Btw, that a very 'distracting' Tennant gif you posted there.
Before they can do that they have to bring down the min spec to horizons level, both to be able to upgrade horizons accounts and to be able to make it run on ps4/xbone.
If they manage that, they can then begin to think about foot VR
A: I'd very much doubt that was the case. Fdev will want to retain their Kelvin Timeline
Shrug... Same place, different terrain.
I'll have you know that I have a mattress protector on my bed so that I can wet the bed with impunity! Us bed wetters have rights you know! Why hinder our wetting when we plainly enjoy it so much! So nice and warm!
