hehe, yep. It had often been going on so long about "the grass is greener" over on the SC side compared to ED's gradual development, and it was discouraging to see so much naysaying and impatience particularly on ED's own official forums and of the naysaying forum trolls who just have their fun bashing the game and the dev endlessly. Sure, it took a while, but Frontier is a legit dev studio with pragmatic business oversight on their board, realistic design prioritizing with their limited time and resources, and a growing now publicly traded company already with tier venture funds invested along with three other successful games released since ED's launch. But now, I'd noticed a lot of the trolled criticism of ED has shut up for now and there's a lot more positive enthusiasm and hopeful comments in general on yt and in discussions. And the SC yt shill channels and commenters have largely shut up or quieted as Odyssey is moving to phase 3. I think it dealt a serious reflective blow to the cultists now that the SC ponzi and their predatory marketing and propaganda is further exposed comparatively, by Odyssey alpha's functional success. Maybe some more sillizens are finally realizing or facing up to their sunkcost predicament and realizing how duped they were for too long by CR, Sandi and the shills. Hopefully class-action or at least some petition backlash gradually gains traction to finally get some serious action done about this cig-sc burning dumpster of a project , long turned into a crowdfunding ponzi.
Anyways, great new videos I've picked out showcasing the new planetary texture with light atmosphere of ED Odyssey alpha. With so much infinite seeming possibilities for these new vistas and visuals as the millions of locations gets opened up in the future with Oddysey's improvments. A short, eye-impressive one already obviating CR's old justifications for cryengine use visuals:

A longer video showcasting light atmospheric lighting and expansive vista, also great generated atmospheric haze of the horizon edge on approach:

I thought this was an interesting russian version mission video of the alpha. Where the cmdr does a non-lethal electiric shock takedown, and otherwise does a subterfuge mission culminating with doing some fixing replacement park task in a chemical industrial outpost. He also speeds up the lull walking in between. Very nice that there is russian voice acting with the npc's. So Frontier also comprehensively updated their language support with the Oddysey alpha. (although there is missing mouth movement of some npc's with the russian dialogue)

So overall, far more to see and do and functionality than just fps shooting combat. o7
edit: oh wow, I saw this new one of Odyssey which also includes timelapse. A great "RIP sc" one.

Shitizens are jumping ship but keeping it on the down low :)

Yes, there were a few threads on the sc refunds subreddit where a few sunkcost were saying they were trying ED, finally , after rejecting it from the naysaying and shilling for so long, pretending quietly on the lowdown haha, they weren't that sunk and cultish, but good at least they're finally "wising up", where the ED:O alpha probably saved some more with its realization/"shock" therapy. :grin:
Here's another great video, this time from Buur pit and collaborators, showing another great summary of the Odyssey alpha and it's multiplayer, multiasset stability and great visuals. (um, ok, they need to sort out that walking bug) enjoy, o7.
