If a developer says they have multi-crew ships, Chris says he's gonna have multi-crew ships with bartending and in-flight movies. If a developer says they've finished planetary landings, Chris says he's gonna have procedurally generated planets with procedurally generated wildlife. If a developer says they support VR, Chris says they're gonna support VR with free blow-job attachment and integrated space hookers. Someone ought to tell Chris that there's a big difference between saying you're going to do something, and actually doing it. His backers could use that lesson too. This guy opens his yap, and I swear they're carving that poo poo onto stone tablets.

Berious posted:Chris should cash in on the forthcoming smash hit Space Cop by adding a police cop jpeg This raises a good point. Are there special patrol jpegs being sold so you can imagine yourself in a game one day, stopping griefers? Think of how well this would sell. With a well-worded sales pitch, you could have every sperg who imagines himself the arbiter of all that is right and proper in "the 'verse" patrolling through space, enforcing their will, with the endorsement of Christ Roberts himself. "Did you ram a ship off the pad? Put down your weapons, you're coming with me."

Scruffpuff posted:They're not going to put any thought into it, either, until SQ42 releases and Christ reviews how much money he has left, and how far he can run with the money he has. I'm sure he's implied to his followers that the income from the inevitable success of SQ42 (income? success?) will continue to fuel production of the BDSSE (despite saying, multiple times, months ago, that he already have enough cash to do it.) He says it, they repeat it; consequently, it's fact. Remember that they're denying refunds cause 2.0 is enough of a game to satisfy their tos. I have a feeling they're just gonna add a few more ships, make a playable area bigger, add a few minor features and call it a day after 42 gets released. Cig will either be out of money or cr will peace the gently caress out with nerd cash. It's really hosed up that they release 2.0 then immediately start telling people they can't get their money back cause 2.0 is out and that's enough of a game. Then again it's funny that the cultists still think they're going to get a feature complete game and I can't wait for the ritual suicides to begin.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:So apparently this week's 104TC actually contained information. Like, usable poo poo. Hahahahahahah, holy gently caress. You have to have brain damage to believe this is true at this point. Its getting hard to hate Chris Roberts at this point because these retards have long since brought it upon themselves. If there was a space game coming out with an intricate law enforcement system, Chris Roberts would promise a Space FBI with Space Forensics. sanctimoniousqfd posted:Hang on, does CryEngine even provide a basic quadruped animation rig? I know it is a bitch to get looking right (Ubi spent years getting it to look good for Far Cry), so if the engine doesn't support it natively.... well... let's just say even CIGs biped animation looks rear end IMO. Its pointless to ask because this poo poo will not ever happen. Their schedule of things to work on doesn't even exist and its probably whatever Chris wants fixed that day. And I just learned SQ42 is going to be a sandbox. What? How the gently caress is it going to come out in 2016 then? The only way is if it is a mostly empty hub with WoW like side-missions ('shoot 50 space rats' or 'go here and then back again') filled with the most mind-numbing poo poo. G0RF posted:Please forgive me a bit of a rambling effort post, folks. I'm going to belabor the obvious, for the sake of CIG people or Redditors who visit here. That's the ironic thing. All of these games will be better and out before Star Citizen can even have an impact. Its becoming more and more apparent that there are no more potential buyers for Star Citizen anymore. When E.V.E Valkyrie comes out, ED and NMS will be the targets for other VR experiences. ED will already be out, while NMS is releasing in June. SQ42 will be lucky to release in November, let alone 2016. The entire joke of Star Citizen is that it isn't even going to save the Space Sim genre. Its competitors will take any potential sales from it and it will increasingly have to rely on deluded morons to fill its coffers because there's no point in buying something that is never materializing and has hundreds of millions of dollars over something that already exists.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:- LOL you won't be able to buy used ships. You can only buy new ones and sell your used ones to the dealer at a discount. Well maybe, longer term, you'll be able to do it. You will "definitely" be able to transfer ships between players though, within the rules, with poo poo likes taxes. No mention of when that would happen though. I thought it said somewhere you could sell it to other players, but that CiG could take a percentage of the sale as "transfer tax". EDIT: Whoops misread you post.

D_Smart posted:Seriously, he said that. Did you see the look on his face as he was saying that? I mean, is he serious? They will ship SQ42 because its single player and they don't face the same limitations they have to face in the PTU. Most game worlds are a box within a box, think of every world you've ever fallen through, there is a true north and a truth south. The PTU isn't like a single player game where the sun can be moved over the level box and suddenly sunlight, this is space, there is no north and south, theres a bunch of boxes across space all trying to be north and south and generate gravity and projectiles and ships and parts of ships and everything else. The end result is what we've already seen, where spaceships fly right through buildings picking up the people inside of them. Its absolute chaos. http://www.twitch.tv/twerk17/v/33158255 Space? multiplayer? Enter integer accuracy, where as every player gets further and further away from the point of origin the shared cloud computing power starts making GBS threads its pants, and you start to see instances that start at 40fps go down to 2fps as the distributed compute platform tries to calculate a half blown up space turd 2749139295235 meters from players 1-15. I find that twitch clip so interesting because it seem to me, to show the janky solutions in place for the problems they're facing. The engine probably somehow decided since the player was that close to the freelancer that he had to be inside, so it moved his player to the instanced server where the freelancer was and placed him on the ship. It probably went through the building because the positions of the ship and space station are being converted from 64-bit down to 32-bit estimates, but I'm just guessing as to how this happened. The huge list of promises like correctly calculating space physics are a joke. A realistic calculation of shooting a gun in space would apply an equal reaction and your character should be doing cartwheels backward the same speed as the bullet firing. Its just one simple example of hundreds of things they're not calculating in order to even try to get it all working. I'm not trying to put down CIG but Roberts has set an impossible goal, he may have been a game dev 30 years ago, but poo poo is different now and he can tell his team to do something thats never been done before, but what are they supposed to do other than respond with a blank stare? Knowing this, and now seeing Chris promise Crysis levels of fidelity on procedurally generated planets where I can hunt aliens and skin them to trade their hides later at the market blows my loving mind. If the message all along had been that they're trying to solve problems nobody else is trying to solve it would have been one thing, but instead its not something they discuss, but instead now we get even more Star Citizen promises. Is this bait to raise more money for their single player movie game? I dunno. The PTU though, Its not going to exist. I don't believe it, not in the way they describe. I would like to hear the thoughts of actual game developers reading some of the things being promised, to me they seem absolutely ridiculous but then they say more poo poo!!! There was one article a while back I found really good from Ascent's lead dev, I wish there were more like it. http://massivelyop.com/2015/10/21/ascents-lead-dev-offers-insight-on-the-star-citizen-controversy/ redwalrus fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Jan 5, 2016 |
