WCCFTech - Odyssey Interview - From the Darkness of Space to the Light of Uncharted Planets

Actually it would. During the War of Independence our lads were in the same time zone as yours.Cough... cough....
It wouldn't be the first time
I blame the French.
Although the interviewer's questions and terminology give the impression he thinks it's going to be some sort of 'team based arena FPS game' tacked onto ED, the answers from the Frontier developers here and in other information they've released so far don't seem to suggest that at all. It sounds much more like an extension of the game's existing mechanics for missions, trading, combat, exploration, etc. but extended to in-person as well as the current in-ship. Of course, as with the current game, there'll be the possibility of players confronting each other directly in some circumstances but the emphasis seems to be on continuing the predominantly PVE theme.
For those players out there still hoping after seven years that FD will redesign this space adventure game into a PVP gang-warfare game, the wait continues

Sure you can. NPCs, skimmers, etc.
Is there going to be any weather system affecting players and/or their ships on planets, such as thunderstorms or dust storms?

Tinted sky-box confirmed

You can, it just means it isn't a single instance-only outcome. Just like every other conflict between factions.
It may be immersion breaking (for you), but it can absolutely be done the same way as currently, and I dont see any reason it won't be.
Question - on the (admittedly extremely rare) days I look up here in Scotland and there's not a cloud in the sky, is it just a tinted sky-box?Is there going to be any weather system affecting players and/or their ships on planets, such as thunderstorms or dust storms?

Depends how much Scotch you have drunk by then...

How would you control yourself in zero G?
Same way Crysis did it in 2007 maybe? That had a zero-G level and you moved using your suit’s micro-thrusters - basically looking in the direction you wanted to go and pressing forward.
Several other FPS games I’ve played have used the same idea. VR with motion controls does it best, though
There are no player factions. I'm assuming you would be fighting against NPC opponents like we do in combat zones or on the odd occasion human opposition if people want want to partake in PvP.
"PowerFoot"?
Banana thinks footplay better...makes open letter, yes?
Low G football with G5 nuclear footballs?
There can be only One!
What FDev needs is a roadmap for a roadmap, and sell a jpeg of it for $800. I hear that idiots buy that sort of thing

Seems more like the vague non-answers that FD usually give out. Don't get your hopes up just yet.
See above. ^^^
Concept art is just that. Concepts. How many times have we seen concept arts over the years, only for a good portion of them to never "come true"?
