I like: Tactical/Strategical games.
Depth and complexity.
Meaningful choice & consequence in games.
Games with a lot of story and content.
I don't like: Shallow repetative gameplay.
Twitch reflex gameplay.
Generic repetative online play.
Abusive monetization models.

I'd be amazed if Elite: Dangerous didn't come to PS$ and made use of Sony's Project Morpheus. That's probably the experience I'll wait for, I just really like how the game feels in VR.

I wonder how a PS controller would stack up against someone playing with M/KB or someone playing with a proper flightsim designed controller.

Though from what I've seen of Elite: Dangerous its a pretty beefy game, so its entirely possible that the PS4 will struggle with it regardless.

The trackpad could be used as a slider for your ship's throttle, so it's eminently doable. As for GFX, I'm sure the Cobra engine supports scaling. I don't think the first-party platform holders would allow multiplayer with PC or different consoles, though.

Not entirely familiar with other existing PS4 multiplayer titles (not a console gamer as you may have noticed) - how do other non-subscription PS4 titles deal with persistent online worlds if there are any?
It seems unlikely that "Frontier Developments" will foot the bill for two seperate persistent servers/worlds?

Honestly, that particular element (persistent world without subscription) still feels like a high risk factor for me to begin with.
If you see that even subscription titles such as Earth & Beyond couldn't sustain themselves in the end.

It's a closed ecosystem (or walled garden, as it were).

Well I meant more like, how are they funded/maintained if there are no monthly subscription fees (or are there only those with subs)?
Cause that may well prove to be Elite's biggest stumbling block (unless they go for the micro-transaction route and we all know the pitfalls of that particular path by now).

This. It'll probably be like Destiny, maybe with paid DLC or microtransactions.

Griffork: Sorry for being away for so long. The job I had at the beginning of the year seems to be having a full-blown melt-down (and I got caught in it). I'm now at a new place but the new job has been a very hectic learning experience (yay for being on R&D!) Aug 21, 2024 7:55:26 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Hi hardly! Hi Griffork! Aug 21, 2024 17:32:42 GMT

Lord Ba'al: He is indeed at it again. I read a few lines from some article saying he took something from this game and something from that game and something from yet another game and put it all together. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:06 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Then it mentioned there was this big hand mouse cursor, and I was like, nah, this will be shit. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:25 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Initially it was promising though, as it mentioned he had "put the old band back together". Aug 21, 2024 17:35:05 GMT

Lord Ba'al: By the way, I closed the whole forum for posting, due to the fact that all that was being posted was spam, but if anyone wants to make a post, I'm happy to open it up again, even if that's maybe just temporarily. Aug 21, 2024 17:36:02 GMT

Lord Ba'al: Or... post in the spammer section, and I can always move it elsewhere
