How do firstly just want to say this is the most feedback I've seen from a Cm on here and it's hugely appreciated as are you for taking the time to reply considering what your current workload must be like, so just a huge thanks and I'd put something a little stronger in that glass next time your on stream ;)

When these kinds of posts appear amidst the "head down, focus" stuff, my little eyes shine (well...they're no so little but you get what I mean...).
Truly...I don't think I'll have any metaphorical shoes left soon with the amount of "running around" going on, but I absolutely adore my job, what we're trying to achieve and you lot of...well...of whom we're smashing through to achieve it for! Thanks for you all being...you all!
Let's do this!

You just need to look at Microsoft flight simulator 2020, they first released on pc and had lots of performance issues all over, so after a year not working it out what did they do? They fixed those issues by optimising it for the xbox, knowing by doing so they would fix the performance issues for the pc community.

Job done

Microsoft have far more resources than frontier and Microsoft flight sim is not the same as ed.

Don’t be dull thepirateorc,

It’s the process, they couldn’t fix the issues of performance for everyone on pc so chose to fix the performance so it ran on the Xbox smoothly then rolling that build out to the pc, problem solved, it has nothing to do with resources.

You might view it, if Microsoft with all there resources can’t make it work trying to fix the pc side first then fdev don’t stand a chance trying to do it!

Go join frontier and help them if you have all the answers, I'm sure everyone here will appreciate your expertise and help bring about a Xbox release.

@sallymorganmoore thanks for the reply, I think, all of us are happy, that you give us so much pure enthusiasm to keep us calm, you deserve a medal 😜.

and please didn’t think that, my statements are means in the bad way. They sounds a little bit hard, but they are meant honest. Believe me, I would like to give you some warm words.
We are all hoping to make elite great as it should be, some of us (including myself) sounds hard, but we all love elite, and with this passion about is, we would like to stay in the game. Help each other, experience cool adventures and a lot more( anybody knows how deeply elite can go) speak for myself, I’ve would like to honor the engagement of the CM‘s especially from your side.

thanks for that. It’s let me hope a little bit more. Have a nice evening. o7

That's very kind Sasa. The cooperation and enthusiasm from you all is what keeps this all going!

Well...unless people get directly nasty or dictate at us angrily and THEN expect to be helped out immediately...it gets tricky then ;)
Let's keep going.

We can do this! For the Galaxy! o7

No it isn't. They've directly said there are 'no plans' to make new current generation console versions. Don't give your self false hope with these guys. They'll break your heart faster than 6 corvettes with shard cannons

Unless there’s some new major engine update, there’s no way the other CPU’s and GPUs can run Odyssey smoothly with beauty.
It’s already not optimized for the PS5 and Series X/S and that has to happen.
When they split the servers that was my first hint.

i just can’t see it going well on the older consoles.

Unfortunately we just don't know.
As non Frontier employees, the best we can hope for is to put up the questions in a way that the likes of Sally can take back and make sure that they aren't forgotten about.
We may not know the inner workings of how the engine works or how it handles certain CPU / GPU constraints but as customers we can make sure that things that are important to us are included in the conversations about what to look at first.

things like:
  • No Plans for new consoles = look Frontier, there is a demand for the game on the console, please keep us in your thoughts.
  • Screen resolution bump, FPS bump = Frontier, please take the opportunity of opening the codebase to introduce the Odyssey DLC to make use of the improvements made since the game launched on our respective platform x years ago
  • Will consoles support multiple input controllers at the same time? = As a user base, we have identified that those that use HOTAS on console will have appreciable problems when walking about. Through ignorance, we don't know how it will work if consoles are constrained to a single controller, please cover this in your FAQ when you finally do launch.

That's off the top of my head. I am sure if we (or the CMs) asked for a top 10 things that we would like to see as part of the Odyssey update (both DLC and retrofitted into base game) that there would be more.

(I'm a bit loathed to do it myself without knowing how Frontier could use it because if we identify 5 things that are important to us, as a console community, and Frontier either weren't or can't do them then there is a whole expectation management issue going on. Cue open letter claiming they Frontier have failed them...)

Dovetail, another UK developer have had some problems with their console product. See how they deal with this and wonder if Frontier could raise their game.

Loving the honesty that was shown. I clearly understood the problems that they faced and what they are doing to fix them.
I had never thought about TSW 2 before but seriously considered it given the way they handled the stream, including a series of obviously provocative posts that they were receiving about the state of their recent rollout. (part of contents broken, FPS taking a dive in certain locations, viewers demanding a refund - sound familar?)

what a great pair, really liked that honesty and open talk
I have no interest in that game but I listened to it all the way through

It's all about time folks.

By the time EDO becomes stable on PC, say a year from now, XB1(2017)/PS4(2013) will be another year older.

PS5 will be out and by that time, Frontier (DB) has to make a decision on which consoles it will offer EDO on.

By that time, Frontier will only be interested in offering EDO for PS5 and future consoles, not obsolete six plus year old boxes, regardless of their capabilities.

I am wondering what they have been doing since summer 2018 for the defective product that they have released, it does not seem like the 3-year job, correction, 3.5 years and increasing development seems like a job of less than 1 year and in a hurry, then They tell us that they will not see content after launch and they are doing it, they spit in our faces with their lies, as a console gamer, I understand if we are really going to receive it or not, but in support of those who bought this scam on pc I say: is it all you have in terms of content?

No Man's Sky offers feature parity across PC and old and new console generations, as well as seamless cross play and VR support. Highly recommended if you're looking for a feature-rich space genre explorer with a deep story and excellent multiplayer. All updates are released on all platforms simultaneously👌

The grass is always greener on the other side.
And more cartoonish too...

but there is a market for NMS pretty much as there is one for ED, so everyone can play whatever game ticks their checkboxes.
