While the games are different enough to appeal to different niches, and "each have their own strengths" is applicable, it's obvious that Hello Games care A HELL of a lot more about improving their game than Frontier does theirs.
Elite Dangerous has been neglected for some time, and I'll be really surprised if Frontier does anything of substance with it again.

Don't they have a final DLC coming still, or did it already come out?
I have been on a the fence with Elite for some time now for the PS4.

Not sure, brother. I pretty much gave up on it and don't follow it anymore.

Color me unexcited. The overkilled buzz well...killed the game.
It was a meant and build as a meta-narrative, conceptual (the generative part) immersion game (the Atlas, the Portal, the Rune, the center of the universe...) and instead because Sony oversold it, they suddenly had to cater to the CoD couch-potato player base with uninteresting or original functionalities, which led them completely astray from the original game point towards something that will probably neither satisfy the expecting crowds but will also not interest the original crowd it was meant for...
Still a big fucking lesson, if not the biggest, in game marketing and design...

I've been saying this for a long time but at the end of the day, it is what it is and we might as well try and take from it what we need. I have seen enough now to realise, even though a good 50% of this content doesn't interest me in the least, the other 50% is noteworthy and exciting.

I was on a planet in normal mode farming for resources... and a sentinel had his eye on me (theres a new HUD icon that tells you when sentinels are watching or near you).. After mining too many rocks, he started attacking me, so I killed it. Then I got an alert saying that Combat reinforcement sentinels were on their way to me. When those finally showed up, they were like heavily armored versions of the normal flying around type

It drops tomorrow, correct?
If so, I know I am not going into my office for the day. Time to work from home.

I Platinum'd the original version and popped it back in to buy myself a Freighter when that first big content patch came out. I've been letting the game pile up enhancements and content since then.
I'm excited for other PS4 games and X1 owners to finally get to experience this game for the first time. I liked it back then. Can't imagine how incredible the game is now.

pretty...
it's not a big change, and most of the geometry looks the same TBH.. the 'bigger world scale'... I'm not sure I see a big difference...
but the ground? the most obvious improvement at least on this planet is how nice the ground looks. feels the ground textures and added foliage have both been improved. when he started walking around, it look really good.
the two terminals seemed a bit changed, too... the waypoint thing-y doesn't have that half-shield currently, and I'm not sure what the other thing is... a new resource gathering for one of the new resources? (oxygen?)

Has there been anyway word on whether the GOG edition is getting NEXT in full?
I know there were some problems in the past with that edition having less features, but I didn't monitor the situation closely.
Someone asked me today at work, and I didn't know. Google search didn't pull up much but a brief tweet from GOG.

So nice! This will be a huge "wow!" moment for me since I have not played since the OG, and going to feel like a full blown sequel.

Things are happening at the moment, folks. The Steam page has just been updated and Sean sent a tweet about DM21 summoning the patch notes. INCOMING!
Someone hold me!

Why don't you all rebuild your databases in preparation for the update. I've got a nicely defragged PS4 sitting here just waiting for those clouds.

Xbox just got a 7.74gb update. Which is basically the whole game again.

Maybe I downloaded it too early initially?
Had the initial 7.84 download when I got it a few days ago, then just got this 7.74gb update.
