Being a dev myself, I think thats a pretty crazy response coming from an ex-dev. No idea what you have been working on and up to what level, but splintering resources doesn't have anything to do with nerfing graphics. The thought alone is just hilarious.
Question - Is pc version being curtailed because of console versions?

The illusion that console is holding back the development of ED is just that, an illusion.
The Ps4 Pro and Xbox One X are perfectly capable of producing pretty high end performance in comparison to a lot, or maybe most, gaming rigs out there.
As mentioned before, I think it's the minimum spec PCs holding back ED's development more then the latest consoles.
If FD decided to take the Ps4 Pro or Xbox One X as minimum spec regarding PCs then thinks could be different imho.

Strange that, as my PC visuals which is not top spec has already better visuals than the consoles in ED.
Actually, this thread is absolutely nothing like that at all. But I agreed with you up until you said “The salt”

Also, you dropped the use of “ye” and “yer” which is a very welcome step forward.

The reason you are an ex-dev must be because you are not very good at it. Otherwise you would know that he Xbox version doesn't slow development down, but makes continued development possible in the first place by increasing funds and budget via sold units.
BTW, David Braben said during Kickstarter that he wants to release the game on consoles, so technically you can't slow it down with something you always intended to do. Otherwise the PC version is also slowing itself down, which doesn't make any sense.
No, the reason I’m an ex-dev is that the company I worked for went under. Lol but nice try at a sly hit. You chump.
What I said was that it DIDNT nerf the graphics. The console release was NOT responsible for the graphics changes. They were implemented BEFORE the console release was done.
However there IS an extra load on any company associated with supporting different branches of the same code. To say otherwise is wishful thinking. But to say the console version was responsible for the nerf is tin foil hat material.
I can tell you much prefer to play on the Forums. A deadly chat merchant, novice at combat I take it?
You should also consider that the mind set of console players are sometimes very different from pc gamers. That in my opinion is what's contributing to a quagmire.
The same could be said of a failed player.
Bad day, Enderby?
And what mindset is that pray tell?
There was a bit of a world surface detail "nerf" earlier on somewhere in Horizons.
These are the horizons of some worlds to show the effect taken from 16K screenshots. On the left is the older terrain.
Hopefully we get some of this resolved in Q4.
I'd like taking more 16K screenshots but they don't fit on Imgur, and Microsoft Paint won't open them, and the skybox is generated at a lower resolution and upscaled or something, so I generally make do fine with 8K, but occasionally I'll sneak a 16K screenshot out...

Have you seen his avatar? He is a badass and can handle it!
I believe it's not the 90ies anymore and the days only casual instant gratification kids playing on consoles are long gone. If you take a look at the console subsection of the forums you'll realise that most discussions there are way more mature than the fights we have in this part of the forum.
Usually this is true. I'm an Xbox CMDR who used to only post in that subsection. I've since taken to mostly posting here. It sullied my view of this community for a short while, but not for long. When the salt gets to be too much, I can retreat there. :3
Almost all of my friends on Xbox also play on PC. The idea that mindsets are exclusive to or even indicative of one's platform is indeed quite strange in that light.
You are comparing what with what exactly?? Details of your rig and details to what you are comparing. Pics or video comparison would be also nice.
And by the word "better" you mean what exactly?? Better to YOUR eye maybe?
Comparison should be made with a top pc and a top console. But i ll wait to see what you 've got, and we will take it from there, as i have plenty of comparison material right here in my house and i am pretty certain that you are just defending the devs, with no real life info but i ll wait.....
