PS4/PS4 Pro info?

do not worry dear inmate we will get the name plates we just have to do it in game with our frontier account log in, same as xbox so don't worry we will get everything that pc *coughs* and mac *stops coughing* get customisation wise. hell i have my eyes on the pink and purple laser colors day 1

*Whew* like I said I was worried there but I knew this great community would make me feel better lol I get 1k with my physical edition and I know I have my eye on some certain nameplates. Not sure what I will spend the rest of my money on. Knowing me I'll blow it all away on day 1. I do like that jumpsuit with the skull on it.

seriously your preaching to the choir, i get paid day of release and will end up at least £20-£30 less by the end of my first session just spent on looking good and making my ship fabulous

I like the way you think. Knowing how I am I will spend my original 1k then eventually 5-10 here and there. I am a huge fan of customizing and this game seems to be the type that I love to do. And hey if it goes towards further development of the game it's a win-win situation.

hmn. well yeah have it. maybe they can have the "first CMDR with mysterious and indeterminate gender..." well thats too long I fear.
ik the only "lady" rank I'd give any about is the one coming with the right to buy snazzy ships.
well I'll be happy enough getting something mildly androgynous out of holo me I guess.

I also still want a rainbow sidewinder. is the right month for it after all.
..
I mean I want the game first and foremost but thats a given anyways.

i definitely would love to have hot pink paint for the imperial ships, but if that doesn't work out. i will just get a dolphin tour bus and call it Priscilla, Queen of the Void

"Aciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid, come out of the station and play!"
"Darling, I'm nearly ready! Just five more minutes..."
 
Hello! Just about to announce this in a livestream thread... but we're doing a pre-PS4 launch livestream next week (on Thursday) where we'll be basically answering any leftover questions. There will be a forum post that runs down all that information too. We've got a couple of things to wrap up in terms of exactly how it will roll out, so we're waiting for that... you should have everything you need to know on Thursday at 7PM BST!

We'll be showing off the game, and all the features on the stream too. Lloyd Morgan-Moore will be joining me on the stream, he's the producer who has been responsible for moving the game over to the PS4 (and he's lovely and has a nice face).

See you on Thursday :)

Thanks Ed. Much appreciated.

Even though i agree that any more informations are appreciated, i'm having a very hard time understanding, why Fdev is not even trying marketing the release of Elite Dangerous to the PS4/pro.
I cannot remember any other release of a major IP to any console in recent times that had as less buzz around it as this.
Given the fact, that releasing it to the, at least for now, most powerful console at this time, and the system with the overall largest market share, one would expect much much more interaction with the Media and community.
(not trying to start a console war - i own both systems, Elite runs fine on the Xbox, enjoying it there since GPP)

It is almost like they don't want any "unwanted" publicity before the actual release.

Giving out the "final" informations 5 (five) days, before launch, where the game is on preorder for weeks/months already does not sum up, if you really want to be successful and get your fair amount of market share as a game developer and self-publisher, imho.

I can only imagine a few scenarios where you would act secretively like this by just announcing it with a trailer and almost nothing else:

- it is inferior to the xbox version - which i cannot believe and do not really expect
- it is superior of the xbox version, especially on the Ps4Pro, and FDev does not want to alienate their relationship with Microsoft, even more so when they actively promote the XBoxOneX with 4K at E3 ...
- Fdev just forgot how to do marketing, and just don't care - which i also cannot believe, because then they could have spared the whole effort of bringing it to the PS4 at all.

Sorry, but i'm completely confused, and this all does not sum up well. It is kind of ridiculous seeing a highly capable Game Company, not using their potential in going to market to the fullest.

For now i did not preorder. As said before, i already own Xbox and PC Versions. I'm eager to see it on the PS4, but the lack of passion and information of Fdev themselves (just regarding to this release, not generally) is disturbing.

cheers,
CMDR damajoo

I'm gonna start with the basics. Name plate, decals and purple lasers. Once I have my Vulture it will have a skin and a kit because a Vulture is for life :)

sorry but the vulture ain't exactly pretty, then again neither is the DBX. but i will still be getting a couple of paint jobs and the pink and purple laser colors and some name plates and a couple decals to finish.

Ship Name plate and ID for sure

Will also pick up a weapon colour and SRV pack. Possibly a bobble head, although I might hang on until there's some more choice

With the kit the Vulture can look very aggressive and to me that's pretty. :p
The MSR007 Acids Lament will turn heads.

Another question to ask. Add it to the HOTAS section please.

Keyboards, can we have some clarification please. Will keyboards be supported? If so to what extent. Will it only be useable for the chat window or can we add key bindings? For example, buttons for galaxy map or cargo scoop or super cruise or whatever support buttons the commander feels they require.

Thanks for adding.

I have no comment to add, as I have a whole thread dedicated to this. However, since AB's buttocks is blocking the view (at least the 20 pages of discussion about it), I'll bump your comment in case someone missed it and wishes to reply.

Another question to ask.

I am ready for some ANSWERS.... Hello, anyone out there?

That question is covered on the PS4 FAQ: https://support.frontier.co.uk/kb/faq.php?id=365

Will I be able to use my PC peripherals (Mouse, Keyboard, controller, etc)?
Players will be able to use a USB keyboard for text input. We have no other information regarding direct controller input.
