Give me 4K and lower res planet textures over the 1080p mess that is PS5 right now. It's truly awful.

Yeh you can't usually due the the stream artifacts in motion. Plus the stream is actually 1080p.
The 4K source is clear to see on the UI, when he was doing photos with no real artifacts and even the title screen.
Looks so much cleaner.

No he was doing the CG. Killing Thargoids in Horizons.
I was hoping to see the console build.

Well hopefully we get more Console LS, maybe even regularly like once a month or something, and in time we will get to see bits and bobs of things. Maybe we need a KS to get them a PS5 though as feel a bit guilty its all XB and they cant join in at all yet.
If memory serves, Ed was the last CM to play on PS and he did a few streams on it. As an original XBox CMDR, I feel for you guys.

I think Zac has a PS5.
so..err... not going too well at the moment is it
Braben himself has been on the forums apologising about it all, what was interesting from our side of the fence is the mention of a roadmap release some point in June.
Could this give us an indication of what is happening with consoles? could it even elaborate a bit further on the autumn release date?
Seems to be a hell of a lot to get the game right and turn impressions back to where they were
Maybe when it gets round to a console release there will be additional content with it (new ships/vehicles/on foot thargs) as a sweetener
one things for certain, it's become very clear why it wasn't released on consoles

Yeh we have had similar discussions over on the PlayStation forum. I can partially understand why consoles are largely being ignored because of the firefighting over on the PC release of Odyssey.
My concern is this could potentially push the console launch even further and we are desperate for some information about Odyssey on console. Although I personally would like a lot more information than just when it's coming. Although probably a big ask at the moment.
Maybe it's a blessing and ultimately this will be positive for the console launch.

See, that's the problem with such an announcement. Everyone will seize on it and expect what's important to them to be included. Cue even more disappointment when some things don't make it onto the roadmap. They`ll probably lose players over it given the current climate
For the record, I really hope they do provide some information about console plans. However, there is a microscopic nano-chance that something could go wrong.
Financial year-end isn't until May, December isn't a hard stop.

Plus we all know how Cyberpunk went..... (It's still not back on the Sony PS Store).
Autumn technically ends in December, and Mr, Tolmie made a bit of a slip on that front on the Elite Week interview, where he said it would be released "Fall of this year", and then used the phrase "Holiday season this year" ... before quickly moving on.
So my money's on Thursday 16th December 2021, for a release of the last-gen console version of Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.
The last gen version I speculate will be low on-foot textures, max 30FPS and between 720 - 1080p max resolution.
Whether the console platform holder's backwards compatibility modes will bump that up enough for current-gen console holders to be persuaded to part with the £30 it'll cost for the DLC, we'll have to wait and see...

I might be in the same boat as you folk, because being the very fussy duck that I am, I don't want to touch Odyssey with a 10 foot 40 dollar pole until it's actually done, which won't be until December 16th IIRC.
Now a $10 pole, should it go on sale between now and then, that I might cause me to compromise my high standards

May might be the financial year but chrimbo is huge in the console calendar and besides, they are needing a win sooner rather than later
if they can get a semi stable console build out by chrimbo that will be seen as a huge success and pats on the back all round
Console CMDR's....I just wanted to pop in and say that it's really not as bad as people are saying, performance wise. Absolutely riddled with bugs, yeah, but performance wise, I think you're going to be fine on console and as some of you have already said, all this hoopla is probably good for you. It means the issues will be ironed out before they port it for you. Moving into PC gaming as been eye opening for me...they may be "teh mastur race" but there are attitudes that come along with that. All this carping about frame rate is ridiculous. One dude literally said that anything below 50 FPS is "unplayable." I mean, I don't know even know what to say to that. Sure, there's some optimization that needs doing, but it'll get done and some of the bugs will get ironed out and you guys will have it soon-ish. Chin up and good luck out there!
I imagine by that time many last-gen Consoleers will be looking to upgrade to a shiny new console if they haven't already. The perfect time to be releasing a last-gen only DLC with no plans for current-gen!
