Sarcasm? Hello Games just moved to newer offices in Guildford, which are hardly flash, but i remember the old ones were distinctly grim:
I was looking at their job applications before NMS got released, so looked them up.

You can just make out the logo on the doors.
They're a world away from Frontier Development's offices:

That's where your ARX cosmetics go :unsure:

Just as long as you don't do a Bernie Slaven.

In 1999, Slaven bared his buttocks in Binns department store window in Middlesbrough after telling Brownlee on Century FM that if Middlesbrough beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, he would perform the dare.[84] Middlesbrough ran out 3–2 winners, so Slaven had to go ahead with the dare, with the score painted on his cheeks

I love that the game is smoother and loads quicker in BC mode on PS5, but absolutely hate that the visuals are broken with the PS4 Pro having been ignored for years! Visual glitches, and a broken avatar... Not so good.

Quality mode menu is blurry. Performance mode is sharp. .. Adds up.

Agree. It was a big disappointment to boot it up on the PS5 for the first time. It still is, even just switching from other games. It looks terrible.

An experience Arthur Tolmie would've experienced recently as he's just got a PS5.

Cannot be so hard to figure out if there will be Odyssey on consoles and if yes, when and on which platforms...

But it is. Becuase Odyssey is so badly optimised. Dont worry, FY year end is crunch time. Its hard to see how they can move into a new financial year without telling their shareholders whats going on with a release which was planned for Autumn last year and never happened.

Shareholders only care about their investment and returns, publicly traded companies only care about shareholders, they are specifically set up to make money for shareholders and nothing else. FDev will concentrate on PC player because that is where most of the players are, consoles are a nice add on. Judging by the chaos caused by the Odyssey release a few months back I am totally fine with not getting it on my PS4, apart from any technical issues it looks like a poor man's version of Destiny 2 and if I want a FPS I will play that. As for PS5 I have not been able to get one for love or money except through shonky sources and I will wait to see what happens before I worry much about getting ED ported to PS5.

As I commented on YT when the video was posted, he's really not wrong. I would go a little further and say the current communication strategy shows a lack of respect and regard for console players, who are also paying customers.

Frontier can't afford (literally and figuratively) to ignore console players forever.

As I've also said previously, no more Arx for me on either of my 3 accounts until something changes. It's never been a good enough way to treat customers, but now more than ever so.

Also isn't it time @WINGBACON gave us a facial hair update?

Nothing that hasn't been said by console users for the past 10 months.

You can add to it that if consoles have been dropped, holding off telling people isn't going to help remove the noise - rip off the bandage.
Is console coding being deprioritised downward due to a very small player base? - the DLC will only be a % of active game users. If the active game users are a small number, there isn't much potential revenue due from consoles. It's potentially becoming a self fulfilling prophesy.

Of course it is deprioritized.
That's what they've told us like 8-9 months ago - they are focusing on PC version. Which means the console version not only was deprioritized, it was put on hold.
This hasn't changed or better said, there is no announcement from FD saying anything else on this matter (we have no news, when we will have new we will let you know)

Not entirely sure that the player base is that small on consoles, Liberum in one of their reports from this FY (Sept 21-ish I think) had the PC player numbers making up 2/3's of the base as a whole, which is to be expected I suppose. So the console player base makes up a third of the total, obviously split across the two platforms which is a significant number of EDO £30's they're missing out on and probably explains the revenue reduction from £25M to £15M for EDO as the £25M probably included console sales plus a decent product uptake on PC.

FDev understandably from a numbers perspective opted to focus on the PC release first when they couldn't deliver on all platforms simultaneously as that would generate the larger revenue, it is a simple enough decision to make. The delay in announcing anything in relation to EDO on console is probably more hardware (previous vs current gen) rather than it not being worth the effort to port over...

All guess work of course as none of us have any inside info so we are left to navel gaze :)

Trying to sell no news as news is still weird. And it’s only a thing here in the forum to put this meaningless statement in every speculation about consoles. Meanwhile the whole world accepted that the current situation on consoles is awful but still some guys didn’t regonize it.

it’s like everybody pointed at an astroid which will surely hit the world, but there are still few peoples who blinded by the sun and explain everyone that there is no asteroid.

no offense too you specially, just an observation
