I really want to know if there is some kind of timeline for this to be pushed out and.. yes i have read all the post stating that ohh the ps4 cant handel it.. noted but thats player opinion not fact respond all you want its still coming from someone who isnt a programmer for this game . I want a Dev responce please on if this is even really being worked on or did i buy a psvr for nothing because this game is the whole reason i got it because nothing in it says that it wouldnt work on it until i tried playing it and there was no vr option. thanks in advance really love the game
PS4 please turn on the VR aspect

The last response from devs on this was, quote, "Nothing to announce at this point", granted things may have changed, personally I don't think it's the case.
It may. Before 3.0 my biggest performance hit on PC in VR was on planets. Now they look better, with better performance. With these things added, with better optimisations, it very well could come out. But not yet.

imo if you want a chance of PS4 VR sony will have to losen the reigns about allowing VR only PS4Pro content...
however you specifically stated you only wanted a dev comment. problem is FD may not be allowed to come out and say the PS4 vanilla is too under powered. (or if not actively blocked they may not want to cheese of sony)

Drathmor, are you saying that you bought your VR kit specifically for Elite: Dangerous? What made you think it was definitely coming out for the PS?
Was it because Sony had released information that Elite was compatible with its headset. If that is why, then I think your beef is more with Sony than Frontier.
If you knew that Frontier was just considering it, then why did you not wait until Frontier had come up with more concrete information before you bought the headset?
I agree with what Max Factor said. There are some real VR enthusiasts working in Frontier that would love Sony's headset to work with their game. There's a good chance something will happen sometime in the future, albeit something limited by having to work on a standard PS4 as well as the Pro.
Hopes and prayers aren't the best things to base your buying decisions. If I were you I'd forget about Elite: PSVR for now, and play some of the offerings that are actually available to you. I thought Skyrim and Fallout 4 was available for your headset? That's better than what I have available to me for my Oculus Rift.

skyrim and doom are available on ps4
fallout 4 is pc only
(fallout 4 and doom both work on the rift btw tho you have to get a mod to properly use touch afaik)
edit... skyrim vr is coming to pc too at start of april and unlike fallout it is the full game with all dlc

I dont have PSVR or even a recent playstation but:
The PSVR headset itself can be used on PC (if yourse is good enough) with a bit of 3rd party software.
Trinus PSVR is supposed to be as close to end user friendly as possible and should give 3dof tracking, ie head rotation but not position, for positional tracking i _think_ you can use ps3 eyetoy cameras and facetracknoir but you would have to look that up closer.

There isn't a plan to, and there won't be one.
You can desire a dev response all you want, but I have not seen single dev respond in this subforum in the last three or so years I have been here, it's normal policy for almost game developers.
That the ps4 is isn't powerfull enough is no opinion.
It's fact.
It was comparable to a mid lto lower evel gaming pc at launch, which was five years ago.
It can't even do 60fps at 1080p. The ps4 pro has the option to slightly increase fidelity or fps.
If the game graphics and physics simulation was scaled way waaay down, the pro might be ok.
But that would be a rather different game.

to be honest i didnt know it didnt support it when i bought my psvr I had been playing the game as normal with a flight stick and saw that it was a vr game or had all the features of one on
PS and so i got PSVR and hooked it up and when logging into the game it was just the cinimatic screen and then researched as found out that it wasnt supported on that platform. and after research i sw that it had been a good while since adev responce and was hoping some forward ground had been made
have looked into this but really didnt want to have to buy the game and exspancion all over again and not the least of wich starting over from scratch on a new platform would suck royaly

Keep an eye out for steam sales, i think elite cmdr deluxe edition (base+horizons+some skins) went for like 10 eur last sale.
There are also some 3rd party sites where you can get the cmdr deluxe edition a bit under full price.
You gotta get the game on PC and you wont keep any ranks or engineering you have but you can transfer your credits:

Starting over: ive reset a commander with maybe half a week of playtime, when starting over and actually understanding a bit of the game the experience of going from scratch is very enjoyable till you start trying to get at the 10+mil ships, thats where it gets slow.
