Is this what I can expect visually from the finished game?

I'm wondering whether this rendering is in game, will be in game, or was ED promotional / concept only?

Well the dev diary explains that the cockpit overlays in the battle video were a test to prove that they worked in terms of immersion, but there is in game footage also shown and it is at least of that quality you show in pic.

I believe the finished product will be even more polished.
 
The pic and that bit of video are close to what they are aiming for, but that isn't final.
This is what the game looked like about a month ago when that was filmed. You will get to see something even closer to the final visuals once the alpha starts in a week or so.

In my book it looked a lot better in-game compared to the pre-rendered stuff. :cool:
 
Motion blur has been added in post-production. I think it's very much personal taste whether you like it in game. Hopefully it will be an optional effect. Films use it, because traditionally it's the best way to produce realistic motion at only 24 frames-per-second. Stills also need it to give a sense of movement.

Isn't motion blur something that goes on in our eyes as well as in cameras? If a motorbike whizzes past you, you don't see a rock-steady image -- you see a blur.

You may want to check out these two videos that break down and explain that capital ship battle video

The latter video also shows actual in game footage and some video of people playing the game in a multiplayer environment with HOTAS.
 
I do kind of get it now.

So, the shots are not technically in the game, but have been added to test a concept and see whether it will pay off?

So it is what it will be like with full effects if development goes ahead, but is not what gameplay is in its current state of development.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

The game play looks marvelously fluid and well paced, so it has me very excited so far!

That's pretty much the gist of it except, as I said above, based on the latest Dev Diary I think the game in it's current state actually looks even better than the links you gave in the OP and there are many more improvements to come! :cool:
