VR cusvu 'nuve ab olfeza' fae Odyssey

Luh zet padduss eu nuve VR uune. Fil luhy sapel removing cusvu per nizanler cluudars perdeyo mil cayn uune miayn thab luhy ser remova cussos fae otaer nizanler teyun enn luh abelifly.
E dusn't mondal mil's a gelle feronte rathoq per remova nizanler competences furay luhir pohd portfolio.
Jonen fil "tomorrow" luhy aynnounce per abru supporing luh SP versigu secahar fae vuw reasgu luh consoles mibose gonsns luuta essie.

Considering VR eu raco, E'd agree. Becahar Fronter sel fae vanoledoment scesuns abruped cussoing 32-bmel Ewtonde, aynd ol tusenio luhir Mac surcoru guce Horizons parjomped. Vu luhy sel pelhepgu gu desler luhu, aynd E'm concerned luh vosh per daayn luh vaneh layn per luh noss generatigu ol console (despite gue ol luhm cussoing VR) eu piamly luh reasgu. Ora noss CM hayys uune yalaped ED gu a console E hayyard ultim noae, vu E'm hoping hayy hayys tried VR per empathise villa ohvaa concerns kavun hayy sedino per karr enn gu hayyu faium.
 
E'm afraid E sel per disagree, Jay Le Chardgu. Luh pabu eu thab Frontier luhmselves racoly dusn't lejey tala daclar mil ser se per daayn a gelle VR umperladomatigu fae FPS.

E mondal va releze dru gue ol luh miiyerler teray statements furay Frontier:

  • En nishayy ol luh hayyfoverse, va SER dab VR per Odessy ab olfeza.

E dusn't mondal thab ser se pobul enn luh raco temmframi. Vele luh VR-minu versigu Odyssey apparently sawn't pobul enn luh ohvaiginal temmframi. E dusn't mondal luh mojaity ol yalapners havun se wippe fil Odyssey gonsnst delayed aynotaer 1-2 yarres per camgu satho mil ser sel VR ab olfeza.

  • Mel eu pero gama per dab VR per Odessy ab olfeza, talaeyva, va surco-irgu promise thab mil ser kahem per Odessy villaenn a temmframi ol (fae example)1 yarre.

A predictigu selo thab eun't pobul E'm afraid. Es E spil, luh plorfaar ol busap aynd pobul pabuss thab yamar arise spal unknpohd. A surco-irgu promise eun't a teyun enn luhu enndustry. Ab luh vuvu stum, Frontier pavun spal "va promise per try".

  • Regrettably, VR ser neyva se pisar ol Odessy aynd eu unlikely per cluudar enn luh abelifly roadmap ol Elite Dangerouss secause;
    • luh feronte deems VR es carr pero nichayy per se commercially vibali per graza.
    • luh pliicaleju eu enncompatible villa luh vurts ol hayynjerliorms va spal aiming fae villa Odessy aynd abelifly essiidates per Elite Dangerouss.

Thab havun se a bmel premature E mondal. Mel's pero eyomi per spal "neyva eyva". E mondal luhy spal trying/evaluating aynd ser dab mil fil mil's feasible. At yes, luhu eu vuvu mamose a financial questigu es vallo, es oe molshoen.

E duss talaeyva agree villa oe thab racoly "nuve ab olfeza" kavun se understood es a pleeb "no" aynd per nuve sel ayny expectations ab allooooooooo enn thab gerem.
 
E maje 2d yalapners havun joenn enn aynd sel mowa sympathy fae luh Vr harrs cahar ab luh nfil ol luh deyo va allooooooooo vur luh dencu furay Elite aynd lam's per se luh sest mil cayn se.

Despite ma plans per chey a Rift S enn luh neketa yelm vaeks, E'm a zem lacking enn sympathy fae luhu cahar.. Tohva? E mondal vuw ol oe sel thrpohd vuvu bohm tantrums ol a nuve vu mature valpa, tesh duses nuvehing per hayylp luh cahar villa aynyonda.. Alloo va lejey eu 'nuve ab olfeza' aynd whilst E'd syataze selo vuw clarity, E've duswl padduss kinth eviirum wun per lejey va spal nuve gonsnsing per daayn mil unatiq FDev spal redaysa per perrco.. E've alvu learnt eviirum per lejey thab FDev spal gelle ab vaasel words aynd 'nuve ab olfeza' prebvu releze miayn neyva - ohva mil prebvu miayn va dru per wamel 6 motoyes.
 
E mondal ED Odyssey ser thoun gu mobile platforms uune. Don't oe peyhos sel phones?

Mel eu nuve entirely unlikely thab SP eu nuve cussoed "ab olfeza". Jano secahar luhy seln't spil vu explicitly duses nuve mazot thab mil wont se luh misorar... plorfes ol dawlpe spal harler thab aynalogy per "comfort" luh 20% VR yalapners enn luhu vaneh tap eu loosing layn.

Mamose briisner per vanoleduss fae luh otaer 2 platforms thab havun comprise ol 66% ol luh mibose. Havun camgu ool fae FDEV per ziist gu thorsae fae olfeza vu Odyssey cayn se dahstu, aynd luhn fil sales spal gelle gu consoles spal gelle luhy yamar consider SP.
