PS4 graphics are really bad post the update...

Im primarily a pc player, but just had a chance to give it a go on my ps4 pro with quality setting..

Every single aspect of the graphics is looking like mud. This is compared to what it used to be like..

The best comparison is.. on pc.. people have raised issues with the corvette razor paint pack, like straight lines look like they're made of runny blobs of paint.. this is how the entire thing looks to me now.. from faces in the starport services panel, to planet surfaces.. text in the ui. Coriolis stations especially.

I saw this in a system where the star was of a white coloring.. check out the system chertan to see what i mean.

Last patch, it took a few goes for something in the graphics to stabilize so i'll keep at it... but it was noticeably bad enough to pen a post at least.

Part of it is an effect of the new lighting, that on average makes everything more "dreamy"-looking. However, on top of the well-known issue with shadows and flickering, I too have encountered some slow-streaming texture s and a LOT of stuttering. The framerate in asteroid fields is definitely worse than it used to, and yesterday after cracking an asteroid I had a couple of complete freeze-frames where the image freezes for over a second and then restarts. Not to mention the "shudder" glitch when in supercruise that has been there since day 1 and was never fixed.

In general the PS4 optimisation is, well, not optimal at all.

Flat black does a nice job at hiding these terrible shadows and supersaturated colors, LOL. I've been tempted to start a separate thread, "A Tale Of Two Frontiers", because there is a small part of me that does have faith in Frontier, but that may just be Stockholm syndrome...

No one listens becuase all you do is moan and complain, like some cantankerous octagenrian harping on about those “bloody kids!”

Even when you are right :D
