The financial year in the UK starts April 5th I think...
ANNOUNCEMENT Odyssey Update 2021
- Thread starter Arthur Tolmie
- Start date
True, but fdev's financial year apparently ends 31st May in their own words. They will be paying Corporation Tax based on their own accounting period, which presumably for them runs 1st June to 31st May. Companies can change it.
As a UK self employed person, I pay mine April 5th to April 4th but even I have the option to change the period in my tax return. Although it's different from Corporation tax.
They're doing that - you get a Pioneer Skin - lucky lucky you!
Well I never...
Why do you think it bothers me?
I don't... Why should it... I mean, why even mention something so unimportant, amirite?
It does require some dedication to remain so unbothered, I agree.We all know its only the most committed unbothered who post here
Seems to me other opinions/observations bothers you very much....as i see same few obsessive fans in all these 47 pages and in every thread on this forum hehe!
It looks very unhealthy
Btw where should i come to check status of the game i preordered if not here!
Not all of us are ED addicts, forum bots or ED being top on our list, some of us don't even playing it but looking forward to the new expansion
.
This thread is interesting when bored at work, a lot of overreacting disappointment over a game and few obsessive fans jumping on every post lol .....and when you think of that these are grown ppl

just the same is justified! The person playing on the console understood or not that the console is slavery and if a powerful game comes out, it will be released on the next console, and not cut off for the old version. This has always been the case with consoles. A similar movement on a PC ... if you want to play on maximum graphics, go for a new video card .... Don't feel sorry for the console players, they made their own choice, but they have "Exclusives" only for PS, for example. An example was GTA 5. Which at first was only on consoles, but when the rockstar realized how they had finished, the game was quickly remade on the PC. It all depends on the target audience. My point is that in the elite, the target audience is PC players.
Hee hee,
You're gonna push a lot of buttons with that post.
Frontier have already said that they have / had no plans for an enhanced new gen console experience so it is one size fits all.
Your analogy is pretty spot on. Games will work until their demand of the hardware is too much, at which point you need to think of an upgrade. In the case of PC, it could be just the graphics card but could also be other components. Consoles don't allow the luxury of component upgrades, it is all or nothing.
Both Sony and Microsoft are currently holding to game parity across their estates - if the game works on the base console in the estate, all DLC must also work on the base console. I don't see that changing soon.
Just wanted to say that I have been a little irritated by the lack of 'hype' around Odyssey, like trailers and other marketing material, but then I thought that instead of dumping dev time into making a bunch of one-use marketing material, you're actually developing the game. So, thanks for that, and I do appreciate the Q&As.
Okay, what is interesting for me as a console player: What is about the users of a Thrustmaster Flight Stick? Will there be an option to switch ingame between gamepad and flightstick? You're giving yourself half a year to do that ^^
However, there is a difference between a new game coming out requiring the next graphics card / CPU / console and upping the minimum requirement for a game you already own from right under your feet ...
100000% this.
"Live Service" as an excuse to release products that are barely functional needs to stop as a practice. If companies don't want to see more regulation being introduced and prefer to govern themselves, they'd start being more cautious in the way they do business.
When money changes hands, there's an obligation to fulfill...
And you didn't think that the development had just entered the alpha or beta phase .... To continue the development, tribute was collected from the players. Well, I paid my tithe too. There is simply no material just because there is nothing else to show .... everything they could have already shown. I personally believe that there will be 1000 reasons to postpone the exit, finish the addon and then only we will have an epic trailer. Something from the series - Welcome back, COMMANDER! We were waiting for you! Your mission is to save everyone! ... and so on ... oh yes it was already in 2008 =)
In light of recent other high profile games being released before they are ready, I applaud your choice to delay the console release until its ready.
One thing I am confused about and has not been explained, most likely on purpose is why the console releases need 6 extra months of work? What could possible be so very different?
Also will there be any type of compensation as a result of the time difference? As you know commanders are credited with being "The first to Discover" and other achievements, now PC players have effectively 6 months head start on any new content?
I very much doubt you'll answer this, but here hoping
I wonder if the fallout from "recent other high profile games being released" has caused the approving committees of consoles to demand a longer time for approval.In light of recent other high profile games being released before they are ready, I applaud your choice to delay the console release until its ready.

could be! Matbe a "if its a PC port, it must be stable on pc for 3 months before we even consider it", which would put it completely out of Fdevs hands...
