What? No they do not have any issues like that? Terrain in ED Horizons v1 is much more complex than the Perlin Noise in SC planetary tech v2 (yeah no shiny bloom, sry) and runs on a 5 year old laptop with 50 fps in 1080p. What you say is ridiculous. SC is awfully optimised, and it is nothing special for nowadays standards (and is still years away from release).

And fact that SC fanbase has been trying to sell it as actual gameplay coming at the end of the year on unsuspecting newcomers at reddit and everywhere else.
Are you seriously bench-marking "other" games against a show demo?
That's a thing you can do now is it?
Please... share the hardware specification of where the demo was been running. Plus... was that multiplayer?

Ok please show me a screenshot from Horizons which has a similar quality as this one:
ED: Doesn't have atmospheric planets that you can land on YET and you know it. But it is an actual game.

Fair enough... And what was the hardware specification where it was run?
And of course... could you let us know how that worked in your personal PC?
Ok i don't mind the color of the sky, i mean the terrain detail quality. You'll see i didn't post any screenshot with plants or trees.

Only thing that left strong impression on me was that improved CE game editor and how easy is now to work in it.....that staged demo looks good but that´s it,if it is done in 2014 then yeah could be more then good but we are at the end of 2016 so many other new games looks better,if SC going to be delayed for few more years this GFX by then will be outdated for sure..... and yeah AI of that Sand people was just meh......
Is atmosphere important when it comes to "quality"? There are other planets out there that don't have blue sky and G-Type main sequence stars. George Lucas filmed Starwars on Earth in the 70's and Chris Robert's seems somewhat keen to maintain the illusion of Earth worlds because that's movie tropes again. ED has been about astronomy since FE2.
I can pick numerous screenshots from my own screenshot folder have very impressive detail in terms of ground quality, that's not with any hand-baked textures either. That's just PG. But if blue sky, single G-Type stars is the only thing important in a space game, then obviously your better off comparing with something like GTA that happens on Earth.

People with knowledge have been saying that editor has been tweaked very easily too.
When did you play this. OH NO you didn't, and never will. Not in SC anyway.
But come back to ED in a year or two. You will be able to then.
Lets benchmark against this, they (CIG) are not even close to what can be done.

I remember how the Star Citizens killed that project from Piranha Games, outraged by that team shown similar assets in their demo during their kickstarter campaign. Their double standard is almost like the core of their mindset. Everything is valid and ok for RSI, just put an "alpha" label and "fidelity" label and press "use", nothing is valid and ok for any other dev, even if they do the exact same thing, or even that RSI do a lot worst than any other dev in many situations, from shows to deliveries.
I remember how they bashed ED by not showing anythign in their kickstarter, and singing songs of victory about how Roberts shown "real gameplay".

Here's a good one, I won't post it here. It's huge http://media.fyre.co/B7XlAixShG3VmAYFW2sQ_elite_dangerous_screenshot_20160818013424_1_original.jpg
OH. You may not know, but you don't get erosion on planets with no atmosphere.
tbf, the fact that PGI was going down that route was very unfair to the MWO userbase, but certainly yes
It's amazing how quick citizens are to apply their double standards
I guess it's because they're just ignorant. There was some guy saying the sandworms were a "shot at NMS". Does he not have basic knowledge of science fiction history?
Yeah just you wait unbeliever!
The next citCON has this thing called a "murder star" and a new concept ship called the "millennium hawk" in it.
Just you wait! Then you'll buy a Idris or polaris or even a millennium hawk and be damn glad you did!
I don't see any in-game screenshot there...
