Odyssey For PS5 Rumour?
- Thread starter Harrier_1961
- Start date
It might not be the one that Geezy mentioned, but at least one Frontier PS5 game is running on the Cobra engine - Elite's engine!It's not the same engine. It's like saying unreal 2 is the same engine as unreal 5. Did you notice that the new games have working AA?
.Edit - It seemingly is the one I was thinking of and there are probably more
...Edit 2 - Wikipedia lists eight* "next gen" games from Frontier, with at least three running on the Cobra engine
...Indeed two or three of the others are running on Unreal, while two or three of them don't say what engine they're using, but let's say that at least four of them are!
.*Though either some troll or wishful thinker has Elite currently listed as a ninth! - if only!

Bioshock 2 and Black Myth: Wukong are both on unreal. One is unreal 2 and the other 5. Not the same.
And as I mentioned, AA still doesn't work in ED. Seems to be working in Frontier's new games. Wonder why? If it was so easy why not just make AA work in ED? It's a perennial complaint and really makes the game look really dated.

Well at least one of them says, "Cobra V2" or similar, I'm willing to bet that that is the engine Elite 4.0 is using!Bioshock 2 and Black Myth: Wukong are both on unreal. One is unreal 2 and the other 5. Not the same.

.On anti-alaising, it doesn't bother most of us console users!
.The rare times I made the effort to play select PC games, mostly Egosoft's X series and Age of Empires III, my main thoughts were, "Will it run?!" and "Can I use a controller?!"
.I could only partially make BF2 work with my controller, so I was "stuck" (very happy!), playing Modern Combat on PS2!
.Mostly between 2005 and 2008, in the later days of the PS2 and before the PS3 really got going!
While in every moment I wished I was playing my PC games on PlayStation!
I'm still shocked that we never got any X games on PlayStation (at least the X3 Trilogy, but really all of them!) and that we "only" got AoE II on PS2!
.One series I first owned (though I rented Big Red One on PS2), was CoD 2 - which didn't run great and turned into a slideshow whenever a smoke grenade was thrown!
(While I rented CoD 3 on PS3, the next CoD games I owned were Modern Warfare 1 and 2 on PS3, but I hated Black Ops, never played another CoD after that, but loved and played every Battlefield game on PlayStation from Modern Combat to the present!
.Overall console games, just "work", you didn't have to mess for hours with settings and fixing the controls and I almost never saw slowdown on PlayStation, not like the 15-29 FPS I got on a pretty good PC!
.As for buying a gaming PC to run ONE game that I want to play and should be playing on my PS5? - No thank you!
.While my current PC will just about run X: Rebirth, but certainly not X4, which the PS5 will surely run (well!) and probably the PS4 as well (the PS4 would surely run Rebirth, while the PS3 would have run the X3 Trilogy and the PS2, X2 and before it!

Yea same. I'm not dropping $1k+ to only play elite. I'll stay stuck in legacy before that ever happensWell at least one of them says, "Cobra V2" or similar, I'm willing to bet that that is the engine Elite 4.0 is using!

If FDEV think they can make money with it, they'll do it. If they think they can't make money with it, they won't do it. It would be nice though. Maybe it would have to get an engine upgrade with working AA that could then trickle back to PC to make crossplay possible.
I dunno, maybe fdev had reasons for not porting Odyssey to consoles? Other than not wanting your money.

You want someone to take your money without delivering, there's an option for that. It claims to be a PC game but I bet they start selling to consoles real soon now. 
Yea I read that before. They said it was taking too long to get it running on consoles so they just gave up and split odyssey from horizons. I wouldn't be as upset if we were getting new ships and the same lore as odyssey. Idc about walking around. Call it elite dangerous console edition and I'll be satisfied.I dunno, maybe fdev had reasons for not porting Odyssey to consoles? Other than not wanting your money.

It was already sold on consoles so I'm not sure what you're sayingYou want someone to take your money without delivering, there's an option for that. It claims to be a PC game but I bet they start selling to consoles real soon now.
They only tried to get it onto the last gen consoles. Looking at how demanding Odyssey is on PC, I can see how that would never work. Current gen consoles should have far less trouble running it.I dunno, maybe fdev had reasons for not porting Odyssey to consoles? Other than not wanting your money.
