It does, if you consider what's on screen. Imagine a surface settlement in EDO, but with the size and detail of Cyberpunk's Night City, with weather effects, and bustling with NPCs. It would be a slideshow. FDev's crappy in-house engine wouldn't be able to handle it; in fact it can barely handle what we have now.
Odyssey Optimization Needs to be Fixed
- Thread starter Martineli
- Start date
Imagine Night City the size of a Planet - real planet - why didn't CDPRed do it, why stop on a tiny city? Because it would be a slideshow.
Size matters.
It's not so much crap...just over extended. Perhaps on reflection, development with cobra 4 was a bad idea.
Yeah they wanted horizons and vr etc in the loop. But limiting elite to an engine that's out of date.....
Unreal 5 engine elite ll.
That's the way to go.
But in the meantime can they please fix frame time issue at bases..do that and our lives are better for it.

hersey nothing was posted. menwhile i posted and proved people wrong ..
You seem to know a lot about the Cobra Engine - which bits are out of date exactly, and in what way?
What makes you think Unreal 5 will do the job - which features allow it do do planetary creation, large universe etc.
I ask, as genuinely interested, as somebody who must have access to the info I / a lot of us don't.
It's an intelligent guesstimate.
OK so maybe not the unreal 5 engine maybe the cobra 5 engine if it existed.. my point was the cobra 4 engine in odyssey is just not working. And lm speculating totally here. I'm allowed to speculate. It's a cornerstone of world finance....Good enuff for banks good enuff for me.

Blaming the Cobra Engine for being slow (without any knowledge of it whatsoever), is like blaming a car for being slow, when somebody is driving it at 20MPH.
I don't disagree that further optimisation is required, the difference is, I'm just not stating speculation as if it were fact.
Remind me not to invest in anything you do
So I went to Odyssey's Steam page this morning to re-add Odyssey to my wishlist, in case it goes on sale during the huge Steam Summer Sale coming up. I confess that despite my many reservations, I'm occasionally tempted by some of the amazing screenshots people post. This is Odyssey's status today:
Notice that recent reviews have dropped back down to Mostly Negative. For awhile they had climbed up to "mixed", something fans of the DLC were very proud of, but I guess this latest update changed that. There is no other game in my wishlist that comes close to this poor of a review score, so amazing screenshots or not, it's gonna have to be one hell of a sale before I pull the trigger on this title.
BTW, I know it doesn't come across in my average post, but nothing would make me happier than to see Frontier turn this around NMS-style. I'm just not overly hopeful this is going to happen now, a year and 12 updates later. But if recent reviews (which are the ones that matter) do someday swing from mostly negative to mostly or overwhelmingly positive, I'll happily jump on this train with the rest of you.
So unless the opinions of others on Steam change, you will just continue to suggest everyone move back to Horizons in every thread? Rather than trying Odyssey for yourself?
Cool. Cool.
Yes. Every thread. Like clockwork.
its expected , odyssey is in a terrible state , I was holding out hope for update 12 but I was let down , so far they haven't delivered , on release the performance requirements for this game were listed as the same as horizons , a bold face lie , Until they fix the game I wont suggest it to anyone , and telling people not to get it is a good idea
Just reading some recent negative reviews its:
- No VR
- Not like my favorite FPS game
- Hardware is too old to run this game
- It's not StarCitizen.
Tbh, i read a lot of your post, and you don't look like the person that would be swayed by other opinions with out trying out the game your self. But since you resisted for over a year now, there must be some other reasons. But regardless of what you think, Horizon has no future, only Odyssey does. So if you don't get on board eventually, you will be just left behind.
the way it goes, only horizon has a future, if 90% of the players can't play the DLC due to poor performance, it doesn't matter what you put in it, nobody will play it, because there is odyssey CG that literally started with 1000 and the second was 300 and now with the new one it's 200, I don't know if it would have gone up, but the fact of having Odyssey completely spoils you for example landing with the anaconda
Is that really a promise? I see that as it being the intention but things went terribly wrong..
Kind of similar to me saying I'm gonna pick you up at the airport but having an accident on the way and not getting there on time. Would you turn around and tell me that I broke my promise?
Yes, how the lighting should work is maybe up for discussion and one could argue for pretty or realistic. Still the game needs a lot more work on lighting and shadows. IMO, it's still far from where it ought to be..
This are not my words. This was an offical statement by Frontier few month ago. They are done with Horizon, and will focus on Odyssey.
They also said that it would work the same as horizon with the same pc and that the one who tried it has my same CPU and it gives me problems, or that it would come out on the console, right now I trust FD as well as Ubisoft etc
They did release SRV for Odyssey only and FC Interior - it's already something they are doing.
Console regardless of statement, was a great decision. It was sinking too much time, and needed too much support. While it only brought like 10-15% players, but demended full attention.
With PC only they can bring much more content to the game.
