Elite Dangerous PS4 Feature Requests and PS4 FAQ

mmmm - yes but... just because it 'can' play on PS4 doesn't mean it will be either reliable or good...not sure.

I don't know the technical specs of the PS4 vs the Pro and / or the technical specs of the VR hardware etc. etc. I was just wondering if they were closer to a VR launch than further away..

I guess my point is, if FDev discover ED PSVR is not doable on the PS4 OG then they likely won't release it, even if the Pro is capable as it would be against Sony's policy.

I read it as they were initially talking about general VR when they mentioned ED; VR is already out on PC. Then they talk about a specific VR game for PS4.
 
I realllllly hope that they offer PS VR support. I'm giddy to get back in the game! Also, any idea what's up with using a Thrustmaster T flight Hotas X on PS4? I have it and tried it, but the hat switch won't register on War Thunder. Any way to fix that for ED?

As far as I am aware each game developer codes support for the joystick into their games, so what does/doesn't work in War Thunder will be different to ED. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

EDIT: I've just plugged mine in and the hat switch is recognised on both the home screen and in War Thunder in the menus so you may want to check your thrustmaster. Can you plug it into a computer and test the signals being received?

The T.Flight HOTAS X Silver ring around the joystick and red accent colors will not work with the PS4. You need the T.Flight HOTAS 4 it has a blue ring around the joystick and blue accent colors.
Also check to see if War Thunder has controller settings in the game. The hat switch may not be set correctly for the control you wish.

When I briefly tested mine the hat switch works like the dpad on the ps main dashboard after a slight pause (I assume to recognise it or load drivers) and works fine in war thunder although it took some messing about lol 😁

The changes to note are:

How much will Elite Dangerous on PS4™ cost?
Prices are being finalised and we hope to announce the full price list before the game is released in Q2 2017.

Will you de-couple Elite Dangerous and Elite Dangerous: Horizons?
Yes, you will be able to purchase the base game and the expansions separately.

Also:

Will you make a physical disc version?
We are working on a physical version of Elite Dangerous to be available as an alternative to the digital-only version on the PS4™.

I did suspect closer to the time that would be the case. I vanilla purchase and then another for DLC.

The wait is still killing me :D

Will both be available at the same time or will one be ahead of the other?
 
all i am hoping for is that there is enough new stuff for us to discover and that i have a chance to get a few first discoveries under my belt before those pc/xb1 commanders take all the credit

There will be an immense amount to discover,the Universe is HUGE!Dont forget that about 1% of the total ingame has been discovered.

My 2 cents:

I read the original book and watched the original movie named "Titantic" (just one example). And all of the three dozen variations ever produced for the big screen and or TV. As well as millions of others have done. Regardless of the fact that they are all the same story line, with the same exact plot, and ending (Spolier Alert, the boat always sinks). WHY do individuals like myself and millions of others, spend time and money repeatedly on an movie, when we already know the story line, events, exploits etc. When the only thing different between ALL the variations are in addition to different actors, only basically the graphics. WHY; Does one pay money to read and or view it again and again etc.

On the other hand, though ED first released was back in 1984 (34 years ago); FD's release of ED on Sony's PS4, will be new to the majority of PS4 gamers. I concur, that unlike us, the majority of which have not and or are not subscribers to the numerious forums, or view(ed) the numerious u tube productions; Making the game entirely NEW, along with all its various plot lines, events, etc.

Personally, though I am EXTREMLY interested in the numerious plots and events uploaded to u tube. I deliberately make it a point not to pay much attention; Which makes me only aware of them. Thus when I start to play, it will all be new to me. I tend to only wach or read about the "How to" data.

ED on PS4 could be aquaited with having had sex with numerious partners, and or watching porno. Though we all may know the how to play and or the (happy endings) results, we have an over whelming desire to seek other partners and continue to watch other video's; WHY? With the exception of indivuduals and or actors, the ONLY difference is the graphics.

sorry billl, but elite 1, 2, and 3 were not FDev games, the Elite Dangerous we are waiting for is only 3 years old and is the only elite game by FDev.

and to be honest the rest of you post seems to be going on about titanic porno films which i have no interest in lol
