[Speculation] Commanders, no walking inside your ships for Odyssey

[Alien]

I can't find it either. It's more a matter of logic and common sense: Why on earth would they not want to announce it, if it actually would come with the release? Makes absolutely no sense to me.

I suggest it's one of three options ...
1. "Interiors are not coming" - They don't want the negative feedback until they are ready
2. "Interiors might be coming" - They are trying to get interiors working, but they aren't sure yet, like VR
3. "Interiors are coming" - They know they work, but want to save the reveal to keep the hype going.

In my (lengthy) experience with Frontier, if it was 1. and they weren't coming, Frontier would have said by now.
So it's either 2, or 3.
I think it's likely 2, interiors are possibly coming, but there's issues we don't know about, like with VR, and Frontier don't want to commit to anything until they are sure one way or another.

Such a load.
Your degree of presumption is outstanding.

So you won't mind one sincere "I told you so" sometime in the future?

I don't know. Someone sent me a link to this article. I literally just read it.

 

[nicedevill]

Yes, you have



You just did it again.

I'm guessing you have evidence that prove me wrong?

You are right, that doesn't make any sense. Hence, my conclusion provided in the topic.

The article contains quotes following the no ship interiors confirmation, so I think yes.

Example : “I know it sounds like a bit of a cop out, but it really isn’t,” Hughes said. “We’ve had to get so many of the the kind of fundamentals in place before we can look at almost this layer of sophistication and presentational elements on top. And we’re just finding [...] the development focus to start really looking at those now.”

For me this article is a confirmation of no ship interiors....

another quote:


Also undecided is how players will transition from ships or wheeled vehicles to walking on foot. The team wants players to have their own “Neil Armstrong moment” Hughes said, of being the first person to step on a distant world. Trouble is that they’re just not settled on what that moment will actually feel like.

Well...

We all suspected it, but now it's been "confirmed" that we'll be able to walk only on the planetary surfaces. Devs were really specific about that one. So, everyone who hoped that we'll finally be able to jog around our Anaconda, tough luck.

Wrong on all counts. We don't know. They have to manage the information to support the release of the expansion, and rightly so. This was only their first dev diary and apparently you don't put your best batsmen in at the start of the match. Surely there's enough doom and gloom without you manufacturing it? XXX

Give them time. It's not like they're done developing the game after Odyssey. It's pretty apparent to me this game is long term and that is one of the reasons I love this game so much.

not sure what game you have been playing...but FD have more than earned a reputation for half-baked content and features that never get looked at again. Not sure why this would be any different ??

To generate positive hype, the industry minimum is to at least release short teaser of a new product.

You can't do that if you have nothing to show.

cant argue with this point...I will be surprised if this releases 2021.

I don't even understand what that means.

Right, in an interview they said, 'not at launch'. This is pigging VR all over again. NOT AT LAUNCH.

However, the first post in this thread says:

Not at launch is not the same as above.

They also said many many times that they were departing from season model and that the next big expansion ( oddyssey) would come out in one piece.
So not at launch to me ( specially with absolutely no details on when) is confirmation that it's not on Oddyssey.
