my first Impression of ED on the PS4pro

Hi,

i already have a physical copy of ED for the PS4pro. I already own it on PC (secondary CMDR), and XBoxOne (primary CMDR).

It installs, and you may or may not link your profile to an existing account (which i did).

This is of course without the DAY1-Patch.

It works to the point, that you may play all of the training missions and challenge scenarios.

The PS4Pro-exclusive Option to switch between "Performance" and "Quality" is not there, yet. So i have no Idea which mode is the default.

Overall performance is similar to the Xbox One experience, however it at least feels much faster to deploy the SRV or SLF. There is no real loading or waiting for the sequence to start.
(just tested in the training missions).

What is, at the moment (again: pre day1-Patch) kind of annoying, is the screentearing. Especially in the first training with the asteroids, it is quite obvious to the point of "really annoying".
That can be noticed best in head-look mode, where you make the head movement with the PS4 Controller.

Regarding the PS4Controller : the implementation is quite nice, and i like this already much more than the XboxController. If you come from the Xbox, or Xbox-Controller, the transition is quite naturally.

Overall, and that is of course my own personal perception, it runs a little bit more fluent on on the PS4pro.

I tried to capture the screen tearing with my phone, and i switch back and force between PS4pro and Xbox. It is (much) more noticeable "live" than on the Video:
(may still take a while until it is available in in FullHD ...)

Thanks for sharing this

I'm rather concerned about the screen tearing issue, FD need to get a grip of that immediately if it isn't resolved by the day one patch.

Cheers for the heads up cmdr o7!

Very worried about the screen tearing now :( does it do it often in regular flight or just headlook?

I only did a few training mission. You notice it the most in headlook, in all other scenarios it is almost not visible at all (e.g. Combat training).

Cool, headlook has always been abit jerky on xbox (not sure on pc) although it doesn't tear. If regular flight is OK I feel abit better :) give it a try without using the gyro headlook as that might help?

Cheers for posting and gl with the game cmdr o7

AND...that's what i was afraid of... :rolleyes:
Oh, it's noticeable! Probably not to the untrained eye cause you filmed your tv with your phone and the image quality is surely not the best, not to mention the "ghosting" effect, but it's noticeable.

Well, let's hope they fix it with the day one patch, cause i didn't notice any screen-tearing from the xbox one footage i've seen so far. Not to that extend.
I will leave this video here, which seems to be from either an pre-release or release build from Xbox one, and as many of you can see, the game runs really smoothly.
It sure has it's share of aliasing, shimmering, etc, but no screen tearing whatsoever. The image doesn't stutter like it did on PS4 Pro on damajoo's game or thursday stream, creating a big amount of screen tearing.

Some users laughed when i mentioned this before, others don't seem to care or simply didn't noticed it before, but believe me you will witness it first hand on launch day.
That's if the day one patch doesn't solve the issue. Let's hope it does, for our sakes. :x

I've also got my copy but I'll be playing it on a standard PS4. I'll let you know how it runs and if there is a screen tearing issue like the op said.

I'm just in the process of doing a "native"-PS4pro Video - copying to USB take forever ....

Yes it takes. Been there done that, and it's really annoying how slow it is. :p
Nonetheless, thank you very much for your impressions, my friend. I appreciate it! :)

All CMDR's relax - this is BEFORE the already announced DAY ONE Patch.

Here's my first Trophy for ED on the PS4pro :D

Awch that is not good looking and this is on PS4 pro what will it than be on regular PS4 which I'm gonna play it on damn.

That's exactly what i am thinking right now. [haha]
We need to be patient and hope FDev solves this issue. If screen tearing isn't present on Xbone One (At least, not to this extend), it makes no sense that a more powerful console like the PS4, suffers from this problem. Not to mention the PS4 Pro, which is even more powerful than the standard one and still suffers from this issue. :x

I sure hope this is one of the things that will be fixed in the Day1 patch. The build in that disk is probably a few weeks old by now...

Devs usually sent their master copy for mass printing about 30 days before release, so yeah, it must be at least 4 weeks old.

The Day One patch may be the answer for our concerns!
Or maybe not... :p

Yes there is no day1 patch in it so I hold breathe and hope that the day one patch will fix this .

When you look left and right, at the beggining, i noticed the game is rendering the sides of your ship on the fly.
Dunno the propper english name, but it's that bottom part of your ship's windows on the sides. Anyone else noticed it? :p

But that could have to do with the field of view. Did you change the sliders?

And yes, the problem seems to be even more noticeable now, when you look around you can see the image stuttering, like micro-stuttering, it's not smooth at all. That's what causes the screen tearing.

There will be a Day one patch, Fdev said so on thursday stream. Unfortunately that patch is not yet available, so Damajoo's game is running on 3-4 weeks old build. ;)

Hey FDev, if you need me on the QA Team, just say the word! [haha]

But on the other hand with the live streaming the dev where surprised seeing the tears falling apart so I don't think we will see a improvement in day 1 patch .

Beware: Still without Day1Patch.

Beware: if you are easily worried, don't watch the following video :O

I switched from the gyro-headlook to the "normal" R3-headlook ... made things worse ...

Here is hoping that this is really fixed with the Patch, as this is nothing like it is on the Xbox One. And yes, PS4pro footage ...
