So, the talk about being able to chose your path early game was bullshit. Still the same shitty, handhold-y tutorial, made even worse by taking up half your screen. Judging from the subreddit and the patch notes, the talk about new biomes was also nonsense, but that did not come as a surprise to me.
On a positive note, the base PS4 version runs so much better. It feels much closer to 60 fps than the previous 20-30, but I am bad at judging stuff like that. There is pretty bad pop-ins but those never bothered me much. The new cockpits are great and the scale of space ships feels so much better. Everything feels so much more polished overall.
Biggest thing was seeing those textures that look likes grapes as bushes again. I have been missing them for a long time.
Going to play my new save a few days, just to make sure there a no reports of corrupt save files, and then go back to my old one. Can't see myself playing through everything again.
