? Live stream showing PS4 PRO footage?

I don't even care, ive watched enough xbox footage so I know what I am expecting.

Agree, I already know what it looks like on the other two platforms, I expected to see what it looked like on a PS4. Oh yea, loved how he danced around the question of us getting a cobra mkIV. As well as a couple of others.
 
You not hyped? I am hyped. :)

About the release, YES. about the stream, no. I mean what did he actualy say that we here in the land of PS's didn't already know. Oh, yeah, servers on at midnight, tutorials will work prior. As a bonified, red blooded, American white adult male. Who the hell needs stinking directions? I believe in Full steam ahead, dam the torpedo's.
 
While I don't blame them for wanting to show the best version they can, they should have mentioned from the start that they would be playing the PSPro version. It just feels sleezy that they have been saying "PS4 version" all week, and then here comes the stream on the PSPro.

I just hope the standard PS4 version is as good. Especially the menus in the station. They're so fast on the stream, I would love if the PS4 version was just as fast, or at least close. The XB1 version is sooo slow.

The speed depends on the network connection, since it needs to get the data from the server. On the stream they are playing on a local server, quite different from the live environment.

For me lots, PS4 Pro info that's caused salt elsewhere, that alone was great news for me. The frame rate looks fantastic, loading times, menu interaction and transitions also look fantastic, the galaxy map was fluid and quick. So yeh I was really happy. Yes it was on a crappy 720p compressed stream and it STILL managed to look good, so at 1080p its going to look great.

Dancing is good. Dancing means hope. Ed pretty much shot down PSVR in a ball of flames.

'Dancing' is a bit of a flattery. I'd say we got a pat on the butt and a 'maybe later babe'.

Looked to me like they clean forgot PC/XBox guys both got the Cobra Mk IV and it's not an option for us now. Not that I'm bothered in the slightest, there's more than enough ships in the game.

Yeah it was very smooth, it's going to run great on the Pro, no doubt about that.
 
Wow, some people are never happy.

I enjoyed the livestream, it confirmed what I thought all along. It's pretty much the same port as the XB1, with a few PS control tweaks (right down to the keyboard inputs being chat and map based only).

The Pro specific stuff was quite cool too. I don't own a Pro, but it was nice to see the improvements over the standard PS4/XB1 version.

Now, I think I may put myself in to cryo sleep until Tuesday, the wait is killing me! lol
 
I upgraded to a PS4 Pro while it feels faster in menu's and load times. I do not really see that much difference in game play graphics on my 1080P screen anyway. Even looking at side by side videos on YouTube it's not a big deal. More of a boost in frame rates i do notice in some games. With out Super Sampling for 1080P there will be little difference in graphics.

Really? If they showed the Regular PS4 version on stream then this forum title would have been "Live Stream not showing Pro version" and people would be salty about the lack of Pro features shown. The game will run beautifully on both versions. Don't be so quick to discount the capabilities of the standard PS4 console.
 
Technically (please don't get mad, Dusty) the PS4 is marginally better hardware than the XBox, so everything else being equal, the PS4 should perform better, not worse than the XBox. Like I said in another post, this is ED PS4 version 1.0 coming out the door, so if there is some performance issue, it's a glitch that FDev can fix with a patch. There is zero reason for PS4 ED to be any less responsive or graphically stimulating than the XBox version.

Not getting mad on facts.. lol. the PS4 does have better hardware then the XboxOne..

There was always going to be salt tonight, whatever happened. It makes sense to show the Pro version because you would not have been able to show the graphical differences between quality and performance.

Yeh its a little disappointing for no super-sampling, 4k or HDR but maybe later....
 
I bet when they're streaming on PC they don't exactly have it running on a 386 with 4 megs or RAM either.
I play on PC , but my brother is on XB1. FD worked magic , it looks okay.
It has a lot of aliasing and the planet lods are low , but its one of the best looking games on XB1 and it will be the same on PS4 I guess.

Like I said FD did a great job

I have a laptop from the stone age and never bought an Xbox.
Good to know that the verdict of someone who has seen both PC and Xbox versions think that the PS4 version is shaping up nicely.
 
I'm disappointed that FDev decided to show ED on a pro, but I'm not suprised. Of course they're going to want to show off the game in the best light possible. I'm confident the game will look and run brilliantly on my vanilla PS4

I was trying to be nice.

But what kind of marketer compares his product to one of his competers as an equal. Quote "It will look as good as an Xbox".
