Both missions and FPS are in there. WTFO was doing some repair mission before it crashed. Then he tried to get to the FPS station, and it crashed. :)

Oh, I guess no missions and no FPS, heh!

Remember what I said at the end of Aug 2015?

Well that's precisely what is playing out atm.

  • I don't believe that there will be anything tangible in the upcoming AC 2.0. And by the time the dust settles, everyone will be wondering why it's not AC 1.47 (or whatever)
  • I believe that they will try to get that 2.0 build out in the PTU in time for the anniversary sale on or before 11/26.
  • That 2.0 build won't i) have fps (aka Star Marine) in it ii) have anything "persistent" about it iii) have anything previously promised (see below) in it
  • Probably won't support any new ships. And if it does, there will be maybe one multi-crew ship (still trying to find out which one is the likely candidate)

And whatever they release as 2.0 is purely designed as more smoke and mirrors to show "progress". So it will be a buggy mess in PTU until well into 2016. Lest you forget, AC is still a buggy mess. And whatever it is they currently have in the PTU is best not even discussed. Remember, they still can't even get buggies to work right.

Going into 2016, we'll be dealing with v2.0x builds; all of which will remain in the same buggy state that the current v1.xx builds are in.

Four years. $94m+. 500+ people. Still talking pre-Alpha. And no game in sight

2016 is the mad rush to get a scaled down version of EP1 of SQ42 out. Depending on how much they want to cut, it probably won't happen. Which is why they are currently hiring more people at Foundry 42 because all bets are now being placed on SQ42.

Then I hear today that, amid all this, Croberts is still doing mocap shoots. Seriously.

In case you all have forgotten...







You specifically said it would not include FPS (wrong), would contain only one new ship (wrong), there would be nothing tangibly new (wrong), and that it wouldn't have "anything previously promised (see below) in it" which included EVA (wrong), Missions (wrong), Large World (wrong), Multicrew (wrong), and the Zone streaming system (unknown if active or not).

Have we actually seen anything in 2.0 other than crashes?

Actually, in DS's defense, he said "Star Marine" specifically. So he's right, Star Marine, doesn't exist in 2.0.

Also in those cases he just said he didn't believe it was going to happen. He didn't claim his sources told him as such.

I mean it's a few right a few wrong anyway, it hardly invalidates anything we're seeing now.

You're making GBS threads me, right?

1) I was talking about the *new* Star Marine fps (combat, weapons etc as seen in GamesCom, CitizenCon) they canned and rolled into the PU. No, it's not there. The fps in there is the same one.
2) It does only contain one new ship. The Crucible. The Archimedes is not new. It's a variant of an existing ship. Look it up.
3) There is nothing "persistent" about this 2.0 release. Or you don't know what that even means
4) I didn't say anything about EVA
5) The 2.0 just released, has no missions in it
6) The 2.0 just released doesn't have the large world promised. In fact, go check their own star map to see what they just released
7) Multi-crew isn't working in the 2.0 just now released
8) There is no zone streaming because there are no zones in this 2.0 release. It's all one large area

Quoted again for context:

And this is everything that Chris - TODAY - said was in 2.0.

quote:

20 encounters (not sure what that even means. are they missions?)

8 dogfighting missions

8 research missions

1 exploration mission

1 on-going battle in the background

1 wreckage in asteroid belt

1 station with PvP (fps presumably)

Security area (not sure which location) is PvP for fps and you can pick up weapons, recharge etc

You can repair ships

You can heal players and group (?) with others

Mobi-glass

Access to Crusader region which has 3 moons, 3 stations and an asteroid belt

You can fly ships such as Avenger, Retaliator, Constellation, and Vanguard

New flight models (we already knew about this from dev logs)

You can now EVA from the ship. This was shown at CitizenCon

I can't sleep for some reason. Anyway, I didn't even remember Derek said this "I believe that they will try to get that 2.0 build out in the PTU in time for the anniversary sale on or before 11/26. "

He's pretty spot on and thanks for quoting that, FPS isn't in as it's obvious they are recreating it and most of illfonics work was binned, FPS being the space balls game and gold horizon.

New constellation looks like it's in but shouldn't be, unsure how much actually is new and not seen before and you kinda wandered completely off point towards the end.

I want to revise my previous opinion that he might be out of sources.
