Odyessey will mean more button bindings?

[Marbat]

Undecided if I will get Odyssey but if I do I know it will mean more bindings.
As it is now and I play via VR and also use a game pad along with my other stuff, it will be more confusing. As is now I still can't remember them all, most that I do are just by touch, sometimes a combination. Heck I don't even have my camera set up properly to this day or is but lost when time comes to use it.

Should be interesting.

I'm already growing a third arm to cope with the extra bindings.

Don't worry, once you're out on foot, you can use all the keys again you've already used up for other game modes.
Personally, I am more worried about all my bindings getting deleted because there is some format change or something in the bindings file and we have to re-do all the bindings from scratch.

As long as we console peasants get an update that allows us to use both a control pad & Hotas at the same time then it’ll be fine as far as I’m concerned.

I’ll have my Hotas for vehicles and my pad for walking.

If not...then there’s going to be a lot of frustrating controller swapping

Walking and fussing in FPS on a HOTAS seems like it would be weird to me. In the end I will figure something out. I can walk and chew gum, so I have hope.

I use a gamepad and have nearly everything bound. This game has a lot of bindings, that's a great thing. I'm sure on foot there will be separate bindings just like srv vs flight bindings vs camera vs galmap bindings etc...

Of all things to complain about....

I wasn't complaining. The amount of bindings in this game is incredible.

It's not like you need to have every possible thing you can do in the game on it's own unique keybind. Many modes share keybinds with other modes. For example, I use the same keys for driving that I use for flying, and the same keys for moving the galaxy map around that I use for the external camera. Once Odyssey comes and we're walking around, the keybinds will switch to walking.

And anyone wondering whether to use a HOTAS, controller or something .... unless you're in VR, I suggest you use the keyboard. I don't know what VR users will do, but I am sure they'll figure it out

EDIT: I do realise many will use a controller to walk around, and that's fine if that's what you're used to.

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

Undoubtedly. I imagine it will be an extra mode like SRV, so you can double bind keys.

IIRC FD said they wanted something that falls inbetween Call of Duty and Arma (don't crucify me if I got the COD part wrong) I'm not sure where on the scale Odyssey will plop, but even Arma and Dayz are fairly standard FPS controls with a minor difference and a few extra bits, so it's not a huge deal to memorize if you've played shooters before.

Yes it will.

100% sure there will be more bindings, but I doubt we'll need more buttons than now. Like others said, many controls are reusable for different things, and while on foot you don't need to keep any spare unique bindings for SRV's or Ships, and vice-versa.

I just hope Frontier will develop a clean way of dropping the defaults binds into everyone's customer binds instead of how they've been lazy in the past and left the new binds empty!

NO!
I don't want them messing up MY custom binds!
