Planetary Textures and the PS4?

God bless you, kind woman.
No one has to worry about anything. Just go over to Xbox screen shot thread and look at all the awesome shots that are there. Especially since the new camera suite. This game has how many billion different systems in it? Just the fact that they can get this in any game format is amazing to me. Some textures may take a second to load.... Who cares?
Its true, and for the entire Season actually. Those who were here with the 2.0 beta will remember that it kinda looked like the screenshot of the OP when playing on the pc at ultra, and it made my pc cry.
Since then both graphical quality and performance went up every patch, on both PC, and since it launched, Xbox. I doubt PS4 can match PC, but it should probably be between high and medium for each setting which looks far better than the OP's shot. Also, remember that the upcoming 2.3.10 will 'improve planetary performance' on all platforms, and will release the day of the PS4 release. I smell a connection. If anything you guys should ask for a proper POV slider.

seriously this whole pc's are better than consoles stuff really gets me, i don't know why it bothers anyone what you play games on as long as you enjoy it. the only reason pc players have better graphic is they can upgrade there graphics cards every 6-12 months, the funny things is console players get decent graphics for a one off price yet pc's need constant upgrading to stay competitive
You've been hanging with Billl too long. Assuming you're replying to sleutelbos, he's just saying that we shouldn't expect PS4 to look like one of ObsidianAnt's videos, but that it can still look mighty good all the same. This is just fact - a high end PC is more powerful than a PS4. Nobody's trashing consoles around here, unless I missed something. sleutelbos is actually for us, not against us.
Remember, this thread was started because someone was concerned that the console would look awful rendering planets up close.

I think the main cause behind mild panic (in this thread) and concern is mainly down to fdevs lack of info/news we should hopefully hear something next week but we're so close to release and still haven't seen it running the main game :/
The pax video was live and poor quality when I watched it but having now watched it back in 720 the release at that time looked pretty much the same as xbox.

nope i am just making the point that anything to do with graphics rendering will always boil down to pc vs console in a friendly debate thats all, and it was arch emperors post that stood out more than any others.
by the way i blame bill as well

I just verified that said person is at the top of my ignore list, which means I didn't see the full "conversation". My apologies, as I thought you were responding to a different post.

LOL Given the contributions I've seen the latter is probably the case. I think I'll follow suit...

I've noticed this varying quite a lot in videos I've watched. It can make a dramatic difference in the readability of text on the HUD. Are the changes all being made by the player? (I presume to alter what they can see through the cockpit)

Hey, I've not chimed in because, though you experienced pc players and console players are use to their devices colors, textures, etc. The majority of the rest of us noob video gammers are not. The debate and the terminology might as well be written in Thargoid for all we care. As in any hobby, the more one experiences the more one wants to experience. My age group played "Pong" which was originally only in black and white for countless hours. Fast track 47 years, the games are still nothing more than bits abd bytes on a monitor, the difference is, todays monitor can handle more bits and bytes.
A pc is by deffinition a personal device, a gaming family of 4 would have to replace their devices at least every year to keep up with the Jones's. The vast majority csn't afford to do that, abd settle for 2nd, best, a console.
Buy what one believes is the best that will fit ones budget. If personal transportation to and or from a destination is ones goal is the most important feature of buying an auto. Then a Beemer (BMW), is no different than a Volkswagon (VW). Except for the lettering. Money isn't an object to me, although I can afford an BMW, I choose to drive a VW. Same with video games, though I could afford the best pc, I chose the PS4.
You inadvertently nailed one of the many reasons I switched to a console. Back in the day I used to lug my gaming PC over to my friends for our LAN parties. Talk about a hassle. Now I can toss my PS4 into a laptop carry bag in mere minutes and take it wherever I want, even on a plane! Not that I'll be playing on the plane, but spending a week at my mother-in-law's without my PS4 would be torture.

Because of the later; In my younger days I attempted to pass legislation in which the mother of the bride after the wedding fiesta is put to rest. In America, thousands and thousands of failing marriages could be saved. Thus, one could afford a new pc every couple of years instead of those annual one weeker's at the mother in laws, or beer.

Not sure what happened in this picture, but this is NOT how Elite looks on XboxOne. Looks like the CMDR in question lost his internet for a moment there..
It was always better then this, and since latest patch its even better..
I truly hear you bro. Although, I am not sure that's what he meant but I agree with your overall sentiment. it's childish snobbery mate. like kids in a playground, my ball is better than yours, iv got bigger feet than you !! one thing I have always hated though is when people decide to "brag" or show off their PC specs at the bottom of forum posts or on gaming site comments, I really cant stand that. I truly do not understand the purpose of that other than trying to lay claim to be better than anyone else.
POV is fixed unless manually changed by the user in the graphics options. The slider is quite limited. Personally I prefer much higher FOV. you really notice how different each cockpit is as the (universally shared) HUD doesnt fill as much of the screen. For example, with higher FOV you can actually look down to the planet surface below your HUD on some ships! On consoles this isnt possible (yet), I suspect due to the heavy fish-eye effect you get with higher FOV settings. Also, most people playing on a console are much further from the screen than the average PC player. Sitting close low FOV seems a but like tunnel-vision to me, but when you sit on a couch away from the screen high-FOV can look pretty silly as well.
