It seriously can't look much worse. I was to be honest shocked how bad this looks on Xbox.
Hmm I think that picture is overstating how bad it actually is tbh. The brightness looks high and I think the screenshot was taken in the phase before the higher res textures and lighting kick in.
Thats not to say the xbox looks great tho as it doesn't, just not that bad
Edit...
I landed on a planet inbetween posts to double check lol

Not bad mate, not bad. Your methods of trying to get Frontier to show us a preview are getting more subtle. I'll still bet you're not gonna see anything before E3 though ;-)
Here's a video that shows the effect;

I just took a peek at the Xbox screenshot thread, and on the one page I looked at, I saw a couple of nice pictures of the ground. Perhaps your find is a fluke?
Video tells the story better than the screenshots. It's the loading that's the problem. As always I am confident the Pro at least will be considerably smoother.
Oh you people, why borrow trouble? We're getting ED. It will be great. BE HAPPY
Even if everyone else is changing into their sackcloth and ashes attire, I STILL LOVE YOU FDEV!!! [heart] [heart] [heart] [heart]
I'm just rubbing salt in Stormy's wounds ;-)
It won't be like that. Ed has a PS4. He's played HZD (I'm assuming). If they showed him that on the PS4 he'd be telling them it's sh 15 and they need to make it look better and would just show them HZD.
as another op advised, I think its just the "inbetween" section from height to surface, the video doesn't improve this really but it didn't last that long, immersion breaking? maybe? for a wee bit. I'm sure the ps4 handles visuals better than the xbox, but in the grand scheme of things it looks great on surface and distance......just that grey area/loading area.
at the end of the day our poor consoles have limits so its a real balancing act

The reason I upgraded our a PS4 to a PS4 Pro was for Elite Dangerous even though I only have a 1080p TV and no plans to upgrade until it dies. Even though we don't know if PS4 Pro support will be available at launch I wanted to make sure I have the best experience possible. With its faster processor and Sata 3 interface I have had a much better experience on Xcom 2 with smoother frame rates and much faster load times. I would hope that with ED the texture pop-in issue (as on Xbox) will be much less evident and certainly loading the instances – FSD jump – dropping out of Supercruise etc... will be much faster!
They should look better the more time you give them to generate, problem is the consoles simply cannot generate the textures as fast as a pc.
man, i have tortured myself over a pro ever since the reveal, mainly for VR, but, its pricey and I have no 4k TV your talking £700 pro and VR its just to much mid cycle
Had to use the srv training mission as im in a trading python doing this week's cg so haven't got an srv equipped.
Bloody give up trying to get photos working on this forum! Who broke it!?
