I didn't know that was an option. Did you already pay for the preorder? Is there a simple "cancel order" button, or do you have to contact Sony?
P.S. Joan Collins comment had me spitting coffee. Kudos

I just read the news on Eurogamer. Here goes:
Space-faring game Elite Dangerous will get a 4K patch for the Xbox One X's launch on 7th November.
The game is being shown here in Los Angeles at E3, where Xbox One X was debuted just two days ago.
"We will of course be embracing it at Frontier," Elite Dangerous director David Braben said in a statement to Eurogamer. "Elite Dangerous runs very well on the Xbox One X, in 1080p and in 4K, at launch."

What do you think. Also, Gary if you read this, can you comment anything on this? Higher graphics settings, better framerate, anything?![]()
I have read this on Eurogamer, but can't comment on anything further.
I'm frustrated. Many of you are frustrated. However, I personally don't want to become one of those "angry people" we so often see over in the PC forums. Today I want to "let it go", but before I do so, I need to express clearly and concisely why I'm frustrated. I created this thread so others can do the same.
The best analogy I can come up with is the teacher who lacks passion for the subject he / she teaches, especially when we the students are passionate about the subject. As I and many others see it, Frontier lacks passion for the PS4 version of ED. Now I'm sure the team of developers working on the PS4 version is very passionate about their work. The marketing and communications team, I'm sorry to say, is completely unengaged with the PS4 community. They just don't seem to care.
Like a passionate student stuck in a soulless class, my own passion is starting to ebb away. I'll still play the game when it comes out, and I'll enjoy it for what it is, but will I remain passionate about it? I'm beginning to have my doubts. It's my passion that turned into frustration, and to let go of the latter, I may have to let go of the former.
There's so much more I could say (TL;DR), but I'll save that for the conversation that ensues.
Its not just us boys (and girls), its not just us....
Your passion shall be increased 10fold when you finally play the PS4 Elite: Dangerous.
There is no lack of passion on FD's part towards the PS4 version. The Cobra Engine they use to build the game is a true multi-platform authoring tool.
I think there is a good chance the game will run even better than it does on the Xbox.
The frustration is a function of your ability to have patience, which you show quite admirably.

I can cut them some slack for not commenting further on the XBox One X - it was just announced, and the console itself won't be in stores until November. The irony is that we know more about how ED on XBox One X than we do about PS4 / PS4 Pro. That math just don't add up.
Agreed, you are right, its not a place I expected to be in 2 weeks before PS4 launch, I guess this is the way, the FDev way.
but PS4 will not really be news...
...what are you wanting to know RE the PS4 version and I can see if I can get some answers for you
Things i'd like to know:
Pre-order bonuses
- will we get Cobra MK4?
- will physical copies get gold Sidewinder?
- will non-USA preorders get Elite avatars?
- any special editions (physical Cobra MK3 model plz?)?
VR
- any more on PSVR than "we're looking into it"?
like can you say if the issue is the original PS4 holding things back; can it be released as say a graphical upgrade on PS4 Pro only; how about in the released game having a beta "at your own risk" checkbox to enable PSVR, to circumvent Sony's requirements *cough* just for feedback?
Graphical options (my preferences for Pro)
- 60fps 1080p + supersampling / high
- 30fps 1080p + supersampling / ultra
- ...
- 30fps 4K + sub-high
I'd definitely favour framerate, FoV (field of view) and textures (especially planetary) over 4K. Definitely give us FoV slider!
HOTAS and controller support
- do we get full button remapping? and I mean every PC option able to be chosen if one likes (including deadzone customisation, inverted and hold toggles etc)
- other Thrustmaster product support? eg Warthog
- other manufacturers? eg Saitek / Logitech
PSN / integration
- implement PSN "players met" properly
- allow PSN level player blocking to block users in Elite (including them resetting their CMDR account in-game, and PSN subaccounts, ie inheritance from PSN master account)
- multicrew joining from PSN Party groups and "games in progress"
- allow 100% trophy completion solo (Ed has already confirmed CQC trophies, but for the love of whatever deity(s) you believe in, give us bots or something so we do not need human players)

They are afraid that if they talk about it too much that too many people will want to play on day one. That's it. This is how they prevent server overload. I figured it out.

We may all need a Snickers soon.
I'll give it you to, that made me laugh. Of all the replies to get. It's all good. We are all just venting anyway since we can't play yet....I could use a Snickers myself.![]()
