ethanol posted:so if I want to play this I have to buy some $40 spaceship that does not exist or what Yes. If you have not pledged before now then the minimum is a $40 Aurora + $5 for a pass for Arena Commander. That will also get you access to the actual full game when it comes out. Don't just pledge for Arena Commander though. It isn't worth $45.

Exnihilation posted:Not mine, but this video does a good job at showcasing the jerky, bobbly movement particularly noticeable when you yaw: That's sort of what I was experiencing too. Pitching seemed to do it as well. I kind of hope people who backed the Aurora can also pick the Mustang later on in AC (since new players get the choice between both) but I doubt that will happen.

Think of it like playing minigames in GTA5 or whatever. You can't just buy the minigames without buying the larger game that comes with.

The logic they go by is that since it's a multiplayer game then they budgeted for a certain number of players in the early alphas. They advertised how many of those slots they had left until they ran out about 2 months ago. The $5 fee is to compensate the extra overhead they'll need to accommodate extra people over that amount. Everyone who pledges regardless of getting a pass or not will get access when it moves from alpha to beta. (I don't necessarily agree with all of that, but that's what CIG's philosophy on it is.) macnbc fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Jun 4, 2014 |

Just got done trying out the free flight and Vanduul Swarm modes, and I have to say, not bad! Please note that my impressions come from being a long time FPS player, and having virtually zero experience with flight sims or dog fighting (with the sole exception of Battlefield 1942, the paragon of WW2 realism).

Really enjoyed the Vanduul Swarm mode, it made me happy I pledged when I was initially worried. I'm using an Xbox controller and the controls feel superb, if anyone has one I would really recommend it over mouse+keyboard!

The insanely staggering price of :5bux: is to pay for extra bandwidth. There was a countdown on the website for available alpha slots since the beginning.

Well that was actually fun, messing around in free flight mode. If you are like me and have an Avenger, you get a loaner Hornet to crash into asteroids with. The Aurora feels like a starter ship, but I expect the LN will be a lot better to murder dudes in. The gamepad controls will take some getting used to, but I found it pretty easy to get going in one direction, flip off the guidance, and spin around on my center to face every direction. I am also pleasantly surprised with how well it ran on my old-rear end HD5xxx series card, I had a few visual bugs but nothing gamebreaking. Well, aside from the hanger still running like poo poo but I think it's just how it will be until I eventually upgrade my hardware. Overall, I like what I see so far.

I just can't get over forcing rumble, or that the ship controls are inverted and the look isn't. It doesn't feel natural to have one hand doing one control scheme and the other doing the polar opposite.

I ask because my X52 does have the broken twist axis as well and if there is no way to remap, then there is probably no way to remove it from the game and ill be yawing all over the place.

The fact that it now exists doesn't change that it's a wonky piece of crap. It has the same loving phone home to big brother roberts connection issue the hangar had when it launched how many months ago now? And that loving server trouble stops you from playing the swarm mode they specifically put in because they expected server trouble. It's hilariously inept. The Aurora also wobbles like a motherfucker (and rolls into turns when you Yaw - what the gently caress?), which means they've either got some serious problems in their physics model or they simply didn't bother to make sure the Aurora works and instead only checked the Hornet and 300i. But hey, only 75 bucks to upgrade to a ship that maybe works and isn't lovely. That's how you monetize an Alpha I guess. The controls in general are a mess and more than half of the functions are pointless and don't need to be there. There's no reason to have 3+ different flight models apart from "realism" which is another way of saying "wasted dev time". There's no reason for the mouse controls to be so bad just for the sake of being different - they had the perfect mouse controls in Privateer 2 and Freelancer. There's no reason for the throttle display to be offscreen half the time because of "G-forces" and realism, while 30% of the screen are taken up by gigantic pointless displays about the status of every bit and bob complete with huge hologram of your ship. The UI placement seems completely random instead of functional. DatonKallandor fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Jun 4, 2014 |
