Albion is great because it also doesn't exist yet (still in perma "beta" limbo) and the drama is real. Goonfear and goonhate are running rampant. If you have some shitposts you need to squeeze off feel free to head over to the AO official forums to get a break from the SC fiasco

But I already gave them another ultimatum before I burn down their JPEGs. That's pretty crazy. I mean, can no one step back and think critically about this? Is nostalgia just that strong? I don't get it, I seriously don't. The question: 'Why is it ok when CRoberts does it and no other studio does?' will probably almost always be 'oh, he made great games in the past'. 1) Its been over a decade since he produced anything, the business has changed so much it is nearly unrecognizable 2) Past success doesn't free you from present consequence. George Lucas made the prequels. Again, why? There simply is no answer but blind faith and trust. Its garbage. I guess you really can't pull people out of this massive fantasy they have built for themselves.

A Neurotic Jew posted:It's especially funny because Chris Roberts is also friends with Vox and together they batted around the idea of him having a role in developing Star Citizen. Yeah, that's why I wasn't entirely against Smart actually talking to him about Star Citizen. As odious as Vox Day is, I knew he had that connection with Roberts that it would be willing to put up with that poo poo to get more goods on him. The hilarious thing is that Karl would have never heard of Vox Day a.k.a. Theodore Beale unless it was from this thread. That whole "Nazi, racist, and woman hater", while true, was entirely picked up from complaints coming from this thread. Young Freud fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Nov 10, 2015 |

It would prompt bitter tears from the Concierge Black Card holders if ours were actually well designed, black metal and customized while their's are not black, mass produced and goofy rear end. Having a superior execution without requiring $1000 spaceship purchase to qualify definitely would definitely make the point. Then we could drink "Bitter Tears" beer, while their only option would be licking tears off each other's faces... I can't brew beer but i can take a stab at a design. Got a vector of the SA grenade already. Btw- it's only $0.50 for name customization per card... It would be the little touch that hurts so much...

The other thing is if people start trying to use the whole "Derek Smart is friends with a nazi" line of attack outside of their echo chambers they are also going to look even more like lunatics. It just looks like Godwin in action.

Derek doing the interview most likely helped his message reach some actual Queef Citizen backers that may not have otherwise taken the time to listen. They aren't all VD fans but the demographic ranges overlap (white male sci-fi fans).

Loiosh posted:I can answer this from my perspective, but I'm not a game developer. The issue with starting over or moving to a new engine is one of capability. The requirements for SC's goals are not available. From the sidelines we look in and see vehicles in (Halo or Unreal) for example and go, Look at that, it's right there! If you dig into it though you begin to realize limitations and how well hidden they are. It's why you (In Halo 5 as an example) still see the same jump height/floatiness while supposedly jumping 'down' the side of a large ship. The engine only supports a single zone (which includes a universal gravity vector). Unreal 4 is the same. (Tech note: 'zones' in Unreal Engine are self-contained area. They're not nestible). Even in engines with zoning, like Uncharted 3) they tend to be heavily restricted. Uncharted 3 has nested zones, but they're clamped on the X/Z axis. It's used for the sinking ship level where 3 different zones are nested to do the physics simulation, the only zone rotation is on the Y axis (bank) as the ship rolls. I'm curious, how did this 8 year old source mod manage it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA4CwmaiG7c

Gamesguy posted:I'm curious, how did this 8 year old source mod manage it? There's not much of anything special going on in that mod, and certainly nothing like the implementation in Star Citizen. The larger ships with people inside them appear to be simple fixed geometry, and the ship->player transitions are just model substitution with gravity disabled when in the fighters. The map is a contiguous physics space, and fairly small. I'm honestly not even sure what you think it's demonstrating that is especially out of the ordinary for its time.

Welcome back Octopode. Do you have anything funny to say about the fourth mocap studio and how 2.0 is so finished that there is nothing to show for it? Tell us of the innovative QA process at CIG that results in not a single in progress jpeg or video clip. Will you be getting a concierge card? Namaste.

Once you leave the actual on-foot map, you're basically shrunk by a scale of like 16 and shoved into essentially a separate skybox. It was fun to play and a neat bit of trickery to get around the source engine's limitations, but TBF it's not really what Star Citizen is trying to achieve.

Shrinking things doesn't actually fix the problem with spatial imprecision that necessitates 64-bit values for object positioning; there's still the same number of discrete values representable with a 32-bit float, no matter what you call the measurement between them. It will allow you to work around some other limitations built into some engines, but those weren't the issues that CIG had issues with.

Re: Concierge Black Cardsquote:[–] pittsburghjoe 2 points 6 hours ago --- It's honestly amazing to read all the enthusiasm in that thread. If I had spent $1000+ on spacepixels I'd bloody well be demanding the stupid thing free. Hell, they haven't even shipped all their backer rewards as it is-- and now, the very group they should be treating like Kings and Princes they are instead fleecing all the further with a transparently cheapass not-black "Black" status card that denies their unique identity, demands their fealty until death, nut-punches their very dignity, and is certain to impress no one other than other fellow nut-punched not-black "Black" card holder chumps who are PROUD they spent $1000+ on space pixels. --- quote:[–] SC_Druggie 10 points 7 hours ago G0RF fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Nov 10, 2015 |
