Update 13, Narrative and Access to 4.0

[BL1P]

Im very worried. I play Horizons because it works in VR 1000% better than Odyssey does.

If its GFX are updated to match Odyssey, I imagine Horizons will be just as BAD in VR as Odysssey is
Hopefully I am wrong and VR will still work fantasticly in Horizons !!


Edit :- Oh I see im not the first to mention this

Consoles?

Left behind on 3.8 I guess, until such time as Frontier decide it's not economic to continue support.

 

[Rubbernuke]

So in plot terms: Salvation activates Proteus and wipes out 3.8?

This is great news! Looking forward NOT TO SEE "ED:Beyond" instead of my friends' locations in game anymore! <3

Yes, everyone back in the same universe, multiplayer wise that is...

I salute you - o7

Which means it does not make much sense to discontinue 3.8 on PC, although it would require a redesign of the Launcher to allow launching Horizons 3.8 and Horizons 4.0
(which might be more or less trivial)

I'll miss the crystalline shard sites. Could we please have POIs back for bio sites in Odyssey, some sort of compromise between the new and old system?
Also, the canyons...

He forgot to take a backup. There is going back.

 

[Lyamecron]

Well safe to say that the azimuth finale is really going to change the universe of ED. Thats gonna be interesting.

Is upgrading to 4.0 mandatory or can Horizons players stay with 3.8? Asking because the "updated graphics", especially the planetary rendering, is ugly.

I guess you could switch to xbox or playstation.

Hes IOI from ready player one, hes about to destroy The Oasis. (VR)

Please bring back the Bio/Geo Planetary POIs for significant concentration of such features

Question for the devs - will this merge fix the double ticks that we see?

It is trivial, the only thing needed to launch the client in base game/Horizons mode is an additional command-line parameter.

That's great news, thanks Bruce and everyone at Frontier.

I'm excited for next Tuesday!

That would actually be very cool indeed!

 

[Rubbernuke]

I hope Sally has extra strong coffee and / or pink gin handy because this thread is going to get mind bogglingly confusing real fast.

 

[Taimaru]

If Update 13 is merging the galaxies from Odyssey and Horizons this could mean double the number of Thargoids. Things could get very interesting...

 

[Go'Gen]

What?? No more Horizons as we know it?

Moar players = moar KABOOMSs!!!
