It would be interesting to compare the answers to the submitted questions and see how many were answered and the answers them selves. We misfits have all speculated as to what the answers would be, how many of us were correct or not answered at all except with a "That's a good question, we will take it under advisment, maybe sometime in the future".
? Live stream showing PS4 PRO footage?

Developers are not going to show "console favoritism" The Xbox version of ED is not in competition with the PS4 version of ED from an FDev POV. They are not going to show bias between the two version publicly. We all know what the PS4 is capable of from a GPU standpoint, otherwise we'd have chosen the other console.. ill leave it at that...
Good answer, you sir, should run for office.
I am very elitist when it comes to graphics.
I would call what FD did engineering , they min maxed everything it seems.
For example when you dock at a station the scale , the soundscape are all present.
If you look very , very close you can see that the LOD is a bit lower. but thats not something you are going to notice in gameplay.
Same with planets , the close up details are good , they lowered the LOD but they seemed to have picked the best possible distance to do it as its only noticeable (I think) if you see both versions in the same day or something like that.
My brother told me that the online community is great. its mostly silent unless you ask someone a question , he has winged with fellow CMDRs at random and never had issues (Wings is underated TBH, I use Wings with IRL friends and randoms)
The ships , objects , stations and special effects all look good to me. I think the only things that are not present are the tiny minor details light light reflections on the end of the SRV (like in the stream) but Ps4Pro will have those turned on.
On top of that the background galaxy and nebula look fine and the star count in the background looks like its the same as on PC with ultra.
FD said that base PS4 version will be like the Xbox version , whiles the pro version will have more of the ''ultra'' settings turned on.
What I got from that statement is just that the default PS4 version of elite is closer to the XB1 version than the PC on ultra.
Whiles the PS4Pro versino is closer to Ultra settings on PC.
It will be intresting to see what is different , sadly due to the stream its hard to make out details
ok i held out on writing anything because i didn't think i was qualified to comment as i am not that clued up on differences between xbox/pc/ps4, but from what i have seen from xbox1 videos and the stream tonight i feel that we are in for the adventure of the year. because to be honest i would of been more worried if the game didn't work at all, so all in all i don't blame FDev for showing pro instead of the base ps4. and if they had done it the other way it would have been just as bad with pro fans complaining about it not being shown.

if you want to see what it looks like / runs like on standard PS4 - check out an Xbone youtube. PS4 has an enhancement so i think it was fair to show this. I'll be watching the stream again later on my HD TV at close range to see what it looks like - Looked good on my work PC (ahem) - but i need to get closer and bigger.....
did anyone notice that when they showed the decals in outfitting the quickly missed out one called founders decal, Ed was about to name it then just skipped to the next one. i wonder if that is for anyone who preordered weather its Xbox1/pc/ps4???
time stamp?

That decal is exclusive to those who backed at £150+ during the Kickstarter campaign 4½ years ago. They get that plus instant access to the Founders system (Shinrarta Dezhra) which other users only get access to when they have attained Elite rank in any of the other career paths.
The dev accounts just tend to have every possible option unlocked for testing even if they're not necessarily going to be available to purchase.
Ok time to rewatch.
Yup I caught that decal too.
This is very true.
PS4 IS DEAD
Yeah, hyperbole, but no less hyperbolic than screeching "PS4PRO IS THE MINORITY"...
Seriously, the writing's on the wall for the PS4. How is that not obvious at this point in time? 4K gaming is the new reality, and FDEV embracing the future via PS4 Pro is the most rational path to take - especially considering how the game looks is one of its key selling points. It's going to look its best on a PS4 Pro.
Agree, the king of sony, stated it was a mater of if but when the ps5 will be out. And though I don't remember where, it supposedly will be what ever the term is where as all platfroms can play and interact in the same space. Having your own sandbox is m'kay but a community sandbox where any body can play is M'KAY.

I'd like to see the source for that, that isn't a UK tabloid newspaper.
I think that it would be nice to see the differences between ps4/ps4pro,apart basing of XB1 videos...
but i understand the decision to go just on ps4pro on their first ps4 livestream...they showed the best version said this,i'm on ps4,and considered that Elite is not new idea but it's marvellous after years and years...i'm optimist with Fdevs

really mate? must be nice to have a spare £1200 just lying around to justify spending on gaming and 4K tv mid cycle, look id honestly love a pro, I have swithered a few times, but for me, and id actually imagine most people, just don't have that spare. in fact sony themselves at e3 said 1 in 5 ps4s being bought is a pro..............hardly a huge uptake.
If its wait for what? 2/3yrs for a ps5+psvr2 or give up my well worked earned holiday abroad this year and spend half the equivalent of a holiday later but still mid cycle? hmmm its very tough ask.
Every single one of us on this forum and the player base would love to see the best graphics in any game and would take a pro.............. only its just a case if you can afford it, which I would say is the "majority" of the 60mil base ps4 users

This is some xbox one footage taken from E3 in 2015 (3301) This already looks mighty good.
I have a pro, but I would be just as happy with a standard PS4 seeing this. To me gameplay is the most important. Graphic performance comes second. As far as I can see, PS4 handles both very well.
In the 80's I had Elite on a ZX Spectrum. Tv resolution of 360x240 at 15 fps. I enjoyed for a long time, until the cassette that contained the program broke, so I couldn't play anymore. Gameplay is the trick that makes the game tick.
