Makes sense if you think of it as a future space HUD that shines the information directly into your retinas. It's the future.

How would that work when you move your eye ball and that stupid hole part on the front of your eye ball moves. That black hole part on the front of your eye. The eye rear end in a top hat.

From the Gamespot article here: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-citizens-fps-gameplay-will-be-more-lethal-tha/1100-6433524/

"...we have the hologram gadget where you can put up a hologram version of yourself and you can be off sneaking somewhere else" - Christ Roberts

Fantastic. Nice to know they've caught up with Duke Nukem 3D.

"We are going to have definite things that will help you with hiding your radar and noise signature, or heat signature, and stuff like that. So we definitely want that." - Christ Roberts

Nice you have it so concrete.

"We have vents, that aren't in 2.0 but will be in in the future, where you can sneak around or crawl around in and outflank people and do stuff like that." - Christ Roberts

Space vents. Well at least that hasn't been done before. I can see how he's planning to exceed expectations in the FPS space.

"Overall, Roberts said he's envisioning the Star Marine FPS component to be "much more tactical," and naturally, a part of this is allowing players to "do stealthy stuff.""

I love doing stealthy stuff.

This article is short and worth reading. You really get the sense that for Roberts, game development really does consist of just sitting there and thinking/talking about poo poo you think would be cool, maybe.

Yes, it's actually him pecking away in visual studio and using the editor to test it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=165H_5jgE5g

He claims credit for the original physics and skeleton animation attachment code.

It really explains a lot.

e: They actually look at the "Falling through the floor" problem that's still ingame today. That video is from July. Yeaaaa.
e2: ROFL it also has the "You can just mash use from outside a ship and have it still put you in the pilot's seat." bug, which is also still there.
This is the part that Chris specifically says that he's working on.

OK I seriously can't stop laughing at this because literally everything in this vid is still in 2.1 and it's still lovely.

When Chris is working on the retaliator it's jittering the gently caress around on the flat test level floor and he just casually goes "Oh yea it's really wobbly because the landing skids aren't actually even level teehee"

100+ million dollar engineering everyone.

Why does it sound like Gary Oldman is shouting his lines to me from the other side of an auditorium? I didn't think it was possible to have both the face of an actor and him doing the lines and somehow make it seem completely phony, but there they are.

someone should change the speech of oldman with the words Sandi posted in the replies to Beer

I think that would be awesome, especially the part where she thinks she is the most educated, best saleswoman ,etc in the world

In case anyone was wondering, you can indeed get banned for what you post off-site.

I'd like to extend my thanks to Sandi and Patrick for being so forthright and polite with me. At first I was a little worried I wouldn't see anything beyond an automated response, but then an anonymous CS rep helped me out, followed by Sandi herself, and then when Sandi couldn't provide the necessary information Patrick was kind enough to clarify.

I hope you guys find the attached conversation as enlightening as I did.

So basically, Sandi:

- Does the job of 6 people, down from 10 earlier.
- Is a shrewd businesswoman with a lot of experience in business.
- Wrote up the full plan (on what, the JPEG business model?) all by herself.
- Apparently is irreplaceable and paid such a low salary that it turns away everyone willing to replace her.
- Is a VP who gets her hands dirty�at a software development company.
- Doesn�t have an assistant.
- Hasn�t taken one day off in the 1-4 year development period.
- Works 16 hours a day, along with CRobbers, who is coding into the early hours.
- Used to have a lavish lifestyle from that renowned acting career and gave up to create a video movie game.
- Is the most formally educated person at CIG, even though she's never taken a proper professional writing course and writes atrociously.
- Is a qualified teacher.
- Is one of the best saleswomen in the world, without a shadow of doubt, since she was a child and has the acumen to identify the next great product.
- Claims CRobbers re-wrote a bunch of the CryEngine code to �make it do what it does now�, even though �what it does now� is exist as a jank-rear end pile of garbage.

Where Chris adds a new feature to SC because he started playing a new game, Sandi goes through a list of traits she believes will make her look more professionally credible.
