Nice rant. Makes you seem a lot younger than someone who played the original games.
FD have said they are committed to supporting VR and all the headsets, yet all some people see everywhere is conspiracy. FD have no vested interest in what’s the best headset, only that they have support for all of them so they can appear to the widest possible audience of potential players. They have also said that the reason they don’t support the latest firmware and why they might not support CV1 is because of technical reasons. Again the conspiracy is FD are secretly withholding the update just because they are evil and like doing that sort of thing. The reality is they are working with Oculus to resolve the issue. Since FD haven’t come out and said directly what the issue is, it’s likely to be an Oculus problem and FD are not in the business of pointing the blame at others.
Its highly likely that whatever the fix is, it needs to come from Oculus. And since they are busy with the release of their hardware, FD can’t guarantee when the problem will be fixed.
This reminds me of the AMD SC issue that was around for quite a while, everyone was saying that it was up to Frontier to get it fixed, but the reality of the situation is that things like this are out of Frontier's hands for the most part. If you are waiting for a third party to get something fixed there isn't much that can be done.
The Rift (along with all other current VR solutions) WILL have issues with ED and any other game that says it 'supports' it. What seems to have happened here is that Frontier (quite rightly so) are stepping back and saying 'hold on, we cannot guarantee this is going to work'. In the end these pieces of hardware are first gen so there are going to be issues when you consider the software is also first gen.
Don't like it? Then don't be any early adopter of hardware, because this will always be the case regardless. Come back in a couple of years when the standards and hardware for VR make more sense, the Frontier will officially support it.
Would people prefer the Frontier just said its going to work, and then people spend £500 on kit to find it doesn't? They are protecting themselves and quite rightly so.
what's the problem?
