"Graphics on Xbox One version will be improved to PC-quality, I'm sure Gary actually said 'better than PC.' - Considering the wide variety of specs' on PC platform, make of that what you will. Either way we are in for a graphical improvement on Xbox One."

So folks, what do you think FD mean by this?

The new version of xbox one with upgraded hardware is true. Or they don't do anything and just use it to make viewers happier. You know how many improvements to existing stuff frontier have promised and how many of them have actually happened.

Xbox One with upgraded hardware? First I've heard of this. Source?
 
"PC-Quality" can mean so much. Which PC? There are quite a few out there and not all have the same graphics capability.

It's a rather nebulous term.

My thoughts too. I actually posted on the original thread that I think this is just a bit of sales talk, on this specific point.

For some odd reason these vague statements remind me of a box of hot dogs my friends and I saw at our old university cafeteria a bunch of years ago..... "Grade D but edible". Sure its food folks... but barely. If you eat it you won't immediately die, it won't poison you outright, and it'll suffice as a source of caloric intake. Then again, I could also eat a cockroach. It is edible too. As long as it hasn't been sloshing in a puddle of petroleum, hiding in an asbestos ceiling, or scurried away from an irradiated nuclear plant... it'd make an adequate snack. Thus I'd call both those hotdogs and the cockroach "Food-Quality".

I'm all for Frontier supporting console platforms to their maximum capability.. and if XBox One has upgraded hardware on the horizon, great!I'm all for that. But we should be honest with ourselves. A $500 gaming console isn't going to equate to a $2k gaming rig. It simply can't. It don't compute. But no worries to me. FD will make the game work for the platforms they support in a way they envision it to work. Not much else to say. In either case, we get to play Elite... and that is all that I need to keep me from rampaging cities like King Kong :)

In the original thread, Gary has since stated that PC will see a graphical improvement as well.

Sorry guys, I misinterpreted what Gary said, which was actually that planet textures have been improved for 1.6/XB1 Horizons (and ditto for PC):
