I was thinking of buying the game because $30 why not, I've probably spent over 10k on steam on games I don't even play, but this stream is reminding me not to give them any money :|

Chris: "Anyone watching this. This chat interface, I promise you, is going get scrapped. This is the most awkward, ugly, unusable interface I've ever seen."

There's a bit of that Chris the Escapist told us about. He's just not yelling since he's live- but the bile is real.

This latter portion of the livestream is delivering some serious future Parp material. I'm glad I came back.

Holy poo poo this is really really really really bad. If the owner of the company can't run the game how are they refusing refunds?

Why are they showing this? The only thing this does is confirm that Chris has never actually played his own loving game.

I mean, you've got nothing at all, but don't somehow make it worse!

G0RF: Mar 19, 2015; Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.

We were right (those of us speculating earlier in the thread on the big reveal of today...)

This is Chris' "SUCK IT moment for Braben...

G0RF posted:

think this is a reasonable guess, for the following reason.

Chris Roberts seems to have the frenemy dynamic with Braben. On the one hand, he encouraged backers to support the game and makes nice in joint interviews with Braben. On the other hand, there have been gauntlets thrown down ("BDSSE") and attempts at upstaging Elite which backfired and were postponed.

I honestly think it burns the hell out of Chris seeing Elite quietly continuing to make steady progress-- with regular new ship roll outs, CQC, expansion to Xbox One, in game Community Goals, etc. Elite has also been on the leading edge with VR - and is about to get a nitrous oxide boost with Vive and Oculus' commercial launches. It's consider a "MUST OWN" title for VR owners because it embraces VR's limitations perfectly and apparently truly does make people feel "they are flying in a spaceship in a huge beautiful galaxy"...

Put simply, to maximize Chris' horror, Elite in VR is "hugely immersive".

As annoying as those milestones are, and as bad as they make CIG's flounderings, their buggy releases, their ship delays and postponed shooter components look, the upcoming planetary landings expansion represents a hugely ambition expansion to the Elite universe. It's now two miles wide and an inch deep.

Nevertheless-- it's pretty drat cool and with refinement passes and looting/crafting in Horizons, it has the potential to get even more immersive. While Frontier strides from strength to strength, CIG lurches, slouches, and can't walk a straight line, let alone start running.

I personally think this really bothers Chris-- and it's made worse by the fact that he has so much more money and should be absolutely leaving Elite in the space dust by now. So I do believe there's a chance Chris- motivated by professional jealousy and pride- would've had his team fast tracking procedural generation with planetary landings. It's on their "To Do" list anyway, but I think a near term preview is possible, though not a near term rollout...

Because even though he's got Braben in his crosshairs, those crosshairs are floating around unbound to his weapon due to crappy code merges...

"seamless transition from space to ground level" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

e: procedural gen though, I thought they wouldnt do that. I think its just for the surface though, you can go inside a hangar and stuff that would be the same always.
