ANNOUNCEMENT Odyssey Update 2021
- Thread starter Arthur Tolmie
- Start date
I believe the British like Spain for the holidays.Unless things change radically, the alleged 'blue skies and warm temperature' season will still be locked down by all of the sensible countries... That is why so many of my fellow British citizens are busy booking their foriegn holidays for this year
(and on a really positive note: I get my first COVID jab on Monday)
A country at risk, however, for the Covid.
Like others I would prefer a polished release rather than a rushed buggy mess. Will fdev be extending both the alpha sales period as well as the alpha testing phase to be inline with the alpha launch
I don't think you can see other platform players without crossplay, so I don't think so? The planetary changes etc will presumably be rolled out to the console versions when it releases on console.
Now I've discovered how great it is, whats the deal with headtracking going to be in Odyssey? - it works in ship, it works in an SRV, will standing up mean we are stuck in a neck brace or we will be free to look around seperately to movement direction?
Headtracking only works because they coded mouse headlook (or axis headlook) so it depends if they allow headlook for first person. If so, it will work. I suspect they wont include it.
I've tried it in ARMA and I hated it, personally.
Unfortunately, the console release is planned after the PC. So you will discover this a little later.
I do not think so.
The new graphics technology must be technically implemented on the consoles.
I also doubt that you will be able to see the new planets with atmosphere.
But patience, it will come.
Different servers though I imagine. I cant see that if a delay is required for consoles, it only applies to the code for first person not being finished, it surely must apply to the code for first person and the planets at the same time.
I think I need more patience to play this
We've had a couple of statements on the AMA`s now which specifically stated that a certain feature wasn't completed!
Well, the Vanity Cam isn't complete... Which others?
(As I do not recall any other feature mentioned as incomplete in the AMA to date)
I can't remember, but there were two different components I noted myself when reading through.
I had a quick look - the only other 'negative' (rather than put-off) I could see was:
As I'm sitting on an alpha pre-order I'm actively interested in reading how the expansion's progress is going! (Which is why I asked
)
He was talking about Odyssey features. I'd assume most of them aren't completed yet, but to give you an example: The atmospheric flight model.
If you're talking about live game features, I'd say Powerplay. That still misses stuff that's in the manual.
I'd assume the majority are feature complete (apart form the console versions - but whatever) if it is currently being played by staff.. (think about it)
As for the atmospheric flight model, where was it mentioned as incomplete? (which was the topic)
Powerplay has been promised being 'looked at' again... no doubt it will make its way to the back of the queue in short order, again, as it appears to have always done

E.g. from an article from last August (we don't get a lot of updates regarding the development progress - progress is always good and on time until they announce a delay):
