Why doesn't FD show more stuff of Odessey?
- Thread starter Wobblin-Gobblin
- Start date
End of May for release, or the stockholders riot
Next in-person stockholders meeting will be like this.....
"It's kicking off, Pru!" Armstrong and Miller Show - YouTube
Because there is not much more to it than what has been shown.
Like for Horizon and all other minor updates. Fancy stuff shown in the trailers ? Well, that's 80% of it all.

Horizons was a minor update?
Definitely supposed to be a 4th, I think it was "Assemble Your Crew".
Well, the 3rd was supposed to be the 4th (by the title). So either they skipped 3 because they were ahead of schedule (
), or they're doing them out of order, or they just decided not to do it.Normally when they have one in the works they will say "it's in editing" etc in livestreams - this time they're saying nothing. So expect nothing. (Well, unless you want to be disappointed and outraged - which some seem to enjoy)
True, I guess the last official talk of videos was Arthur when announcing the delay:Well, the 3rd was supposed to be the 4th (by the title). So either they skipped 3 because they were ahead of schedule (

I doubt Fdev care whether you eat your hat or not unfortunately.
With frontier you see 200ft scalpels, 4 football teams, 2 cranes, 6 big haulers with materials, 2 foreman's but the project they reveal is no bigger than a waitress revealing your eggs Benedict!?
If you look at some trailers, they give away 90% of the movie and their highlights.
I really hope Odyssey will be that groundbreaking thing FD is saying it is, the cynic in me however tells me not to hold my breath.
Well, here is to hoping the cynic is wrong.

Wouldn´t a month or two long alpha, and presumably beta, be precisely a bit counterproductive to that line of thought? I mean, if that was the way I rolled I might aswell just release without any testing at all, and feedback be darned.
Well, I stopped caring for it before it got fully delivered.
I'm surprised (and a little disappointed) that we've not seen more of the planetary surfaces.
Obviously any guess could turn out to be what they do but they have sold an Alpha
Personally I'm sticking with my original estimate of 'something' being released before the end of the financial year (end of May?) whether that's just the start of Alpha in a poor state of playability or the 4.0 commercial release.
Why they aren't talking about it constantly is anyone's guess. Makes me think they don't know what features will be ready rather than not wanting to spoil a surprise.

I think you expect too much.
EDIT:: I do think its high time a release date is provided for the Alpha, its appropriate that people who have paid their money have their expectations set.

'Assemble your crew' has become "trap your slaves" maybe?
But my guess is the Q&A is the stop gap for the video, since its been piped to media outlets as news.
What month long Alpha?
For all we know the Alpha could be a single week(end) before the PC release so Frontier can stress test their servers.
Just managing expectations.
Its always been super easy to oversimplify what you have not been directly involved in. Even technical resources do it.
Darn! I obviously got sold some duff stuff...
All I see is a spaceship game, are you sure you are not confusing yourself with another permanent-alpha offering?
