If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Why are Star Citizens hyped for RSI to release a shooter based on a shooter engine? To me that looks like a move to keep the crowd happy while they continue to sell jpeg ships.



Why are they even making an FPS how do you manage to get from 'remake Wing Commander' to 'Remake Freelancer/Privateer' to making an FPS

The FPS has always been a part of it. The core idea of Star Citizen has always been that a player can walk around a station, get in their ship, and then fly around with starship pew pew. The scope creep is things like the scale (100 solar systems each with more capacity than an entire region in EVE), mechanics (farming, drink serving, AV repair), and fidelity (animation, poly count, all the other poo poo that looks pretty but means nothing with respect to gameplay).

Anyone who had trouble getting into Elite Dangerous should check out Giant Bomb's Quick Look of the game. I didn't even watch the whole thing and I still picked up enough about how to take off, land, fly around, etc. without having to bother with the tutorials.
And of course right now it's a perfectly fine clone of Privateer, but without a story or unique places to land. So it's pretty all right to fire up every now and then and shoot some space rats.

Star Citizen proudly announces in game crowd funding simulator. Got an idea for a great new idea for a spaceship? Have an exciting business plan? Now you can submit it in game and have your compatriots support your effort. CIG will take a modest 50 percent cut of the proceeds from your creative effort.

You wanted the future of gaming, and now we're giving it to you by letting you crowdfund games to your heart's content without ever leaving the security of your Idris.

I know I am the minority here but to me CR response read really genuine. He really believed what he wrote and the emotion is raw there. He believes he is fighting the good fight and that he has a decent chance (or had a decent chance) of finishing the game aslong as the bloody journalists and DS do not gently caress it up.

That does not mean that bad management or HR or PR does not happen. Probably does to some extent but just anonymous sources are pretty lovely.

quote:

which is honestly why pointing at year old timelines and saying "they didn't meet this! so it's not coming" is ridiculous
to be honest I don't expect the game out very soon either, likely in late 2016 or early 2017 well begin to see everything coming together as they've fleshed it out, because that's how long game development takes
my problem has been with all these people saying it's just a scam, or not coming at all, because of a few relatively normal delays. It's just not sensible.
Hell at this point I wish CIG didn't bother with the whole "public involvement" face and just kept everything behind closed doors like other developers do, this is why

Yes, tell me more about reasonable development person who said they were fine if nothing new ever came out.

When asked, "why are they still selling .jpegs of ships when they haven't even finished the kickstarter ships" the response was

quote:

ships are on a cycle, they're developing the ones they need or had planned for the 1 player campaign first, then they're moving into those that are going to be the most used in the initial releases of multicrew.
As for "new ships," these were already planned and come from a different department than those currently developing the ships in the dev stream

Let me be clear, I'm glad that treasures like this exist. I mean I'd always known there were stupid people with disposable income, but you never quite believe how stupid.

see this is what I was just saying.

Then they say "this will take longer"
then you point at the timeline they gave for a much smaller game and someone his means they're incompetent? for what? adding more? because they can't compete a much, much larger game in the same constraints? that's just not fair and seems like a real stretch that you would try to reason the game isn't coming at all because of this

So like, In four years when this game comes out. Can I like buy it and play it? I mean I haven't been really keeping up with what this game is and all but I was under the impression that the video game was gonna be like, other video games where it like, totally comes out after they like, did all the work with like, the computers and stuff.

The only thing I like, know for sure is like, there is this mini-game you guys like, played and stuff where you like, give them all your money for like, things. So I was just wondering if like, I got this game down the road if I would like, not have any of the things you guys won in the mini games and like, start with nothing? Because that sounds more like, video game to me.
