Odyssey for PS4

There's a lot of 'could haves' in here. If we're going to go that way, FDev could just have released a game with no issues on all platforms. Problem solved, everyone happy.

Only they didn't, they released on PC first, probably due to most of the player base being there and it's a lot easier to do the inevitable fixes when you don't have to send things through Microsoft and Sony first. Also Odyssey has significant issues and FDev have said they want to fix it on PC first before it comes to console.

This is a good thing.

We will get a port which won't be based on the version of the game that is out at the moment that just is not ready. When will that be? Who knows? How long does it take to fix a game that still has significant issues after 7 major updates. Answers to the nearest month please.

If that's not enough how about we just say the 24th of April will be the release on console. Complete guess but made with the same certainty as anyone at Frontier could manage about now.

You do realise that Sally has been trying to get across the same thing to you for weeks don't you? You do remember she literally asked you to stop pinging her as when there was an announcement it would not be in a reply to a forum thread? You do remember how you repeatedly ignored her wishes?

Just as a point, and though I acknowledged there would be nothing about Odyssey streams weren't mentioned. In a prior point where I hadn't pinged it was assumed I was talking about Odyssey when I wasn't and it was replied that we would be made aware if there was console content (stream wise). Think the original post was boppa he made a joke about how are we supposed to know if there was Odyssey content in stream or not this got misinterpreted I replied by saying it in defence it was a community stream etc etc Sally said there would be notifications about content. I was asking about that but fine will keep even more schtum from now on and to be fair there were no pings just my own opinion but hey ok boss o7

"Sally said there would be notifications about content", so you decided to ping her to ask...

Trying to separate out console content in the Tuesday stream is ridiculous as there is always a mix of all platforms. There's no distinction when it comes to Stellar Screenshots or the community content that is submitted because there doesn't need to be. If there is time on the Tuesday stream at the end then they will play some of the game, this can vary depending on how they feel or how much time is left. The content of Thursday streams, like the content of Tuesday streams are communicated every Monday in a forum post laying out what it coming for the week, which had already been communicated earlier in the thread. If there is a dedicated console stream it is mentioned there, which happens sometimes, sometimes it is a stream that is related to Horizons, sometimes it is a stream related to Odyssey. These threads have been made for over 6 months now.
Wanting someone to tell you specifically what is going to be in the streams, before they publicly release the content of the streams, is a bit much imo.

Point taken, generally a very pragmatic guy but seeing the way things are going is really frustrating. I'm weaning myself off the pings so you'll have no trouble off me will back off forums for a while o7

You're talking to someone who asked for any kind of updates to or information about Exploration for four years, and then about fixing it for the last 3. Believe me I understand frustration :)

Hello everyone.

This message is addressed to the developers of FRONTIER

I find it really very offensive and provocative to work and add additional content for the expansion "ODYSSEY" (SRV SCORPIO) while console players are just waiting for one thing: That we tell them whether or not ODYSSEY will see the light of day on console. We're not asking to take advantage of ODYSSEY tomorrow, we're just asking if ODYSSEY will actually see the light of day on console.
There have been no announcements for a long time regarding this topic.

It is totally disrespectful of you and shameful.

More on this as I replied to thread about the new Skorpion SRV...
Let me restart here. I logged on, which I rarely do, since you know.... no updates of any note or even acknowledgement for or towards console players.
SRV and Limpet control was offered on GalNet at some point while I was away. I thought to myself, cool. No Odyssey, but maybe they're gonna throw us a small bone here. Soo..

Like the OP, I went in search for about an hour until I realized it was yet another cruel joke played upon us consolers. We aren't getting anything, (aside from the limpet controller which... seriously?) why think otherwise when FDev fails to even address it?

What do I do now FDev?
Do I continue to play this game and grind to keep my Fleet Carrier in hopes that Odyssey will be released?
Do I stop all together because it's not happening and there is nothing left (end game-wise) for me? I mean a lot of stuff is broken and the new stuff and fixes are all geared to other players.
I see the new footage of fleet carrier interiors and it reminds me that I won't be seeing it, in fact... half the time my carrier jumps without me and a relog is necessary.

"Oh, here's a Skorpion dual seat SRV.. not for you though... you must just keep using the broken multi crew where you and your mates cannot even land on a planet together without exiting MC".

I love the game but have spent years grinding on the same thing over and over. If you expect me to keep doing that (grinding and purchasing Arx) Then it would seem proper that you give me something to hang on to while doing so.

Perhaps your plan is to let this pass and hope we go away so console porting is not necessary and you need not face any of this. If so cut the lifeline now please.
A new ship Horizons only version, access to the SRV, even a word from the pie in the sky guy DB about our future would go a long ways. Some of us have been waiting since Elite, through Elite Dangerous until now and others joined console recently because of the promise of a great game that was cutting edge and larger than life only to find a console community broken, offended and hurt by the lack of communication.
So what should I/We do Fdev, Have faith or no?

Maybe you should call a FDev member. I doubt, that they would read the post, if you don't. They simply don't care for us.

I totally agree with your post.

Don’t believe this is going to do anything, but maybe. They say they understand our frustrations but have made no action to address them. It’s been said time and again that what console players want most is to be included in information updates. “No information to give” was fine for the first couple of updates, but now that new content is added and PC CMDRS seem mostly content, not happy, with performance it’s time to come up with some to address the console players concerns. Will they? No, they will not. I expect we’ll see more updates and released features before we hear a whisper of anything console related. Given this debacle with update 9, how many fixes do you think it’ll take for FC interiors to actually function? They’re not doing anything with consoles until long after that and they’re definitely not going to say anything. I am interested in seeing what they do to lure us back though. If it’s all a grind for you now though, I’d suggest decommissioning your FC and wait. No sense playing a game from a developer that doesn’t respect us enough to keep us included in communication.

And I think, that they had no effort to bring it on consoles. The lack of everything related to console is awful in so many ways. And in the last days, it was more then ever clear. (SRV question was complete ignored and overeaded till the update hit the daylight) and yes they do it actively and with knowledge, because to answer the limped question for HRZN, and one question early there was 2-5 time asked about the new SRV. They simple hide this information to avoid the console HRZN cmdrs valid outcrys

I believe the last time FDev said anything about a PS release was around Sept 20 and they said “Late Fall” .
Well here it is mid December. I’m wondering what exactly does FDEV define as “late fall”?
In Britainia fall officially ends and winter officially begins December 1st.
Not so much as a whisper in the wind from our FDev friends.
I’m not mad, but I think its tremendously bad form to let PS gamers know a time frame while taunting us with the enjoyment (not without bugs) that PC cmdrs share and then they release a fricken scorpion that couldn’t shoot the side of a barn from 50 meters and some limpet controller just for the sake of the PCers.
If things go the way they have been FDev will spend the next month trying to fix the Scorpion release rather than releasing an imperfect EDO for consoles.
“We want the PC program to be perfect so the consoles have less problems “.
oh sure. I get that. But they’re adding on to the platform which tells me, they have solved 99.9% of the bug problems.
Time to focus on consoles FDev.

I agree. They are adding new content to PC which means either the game is 99.99% fixed or they really are ignoring the console community. Time to restructure from the mountain down.
