Khanstant posted:lol what movies were these?  for more details.The classic example is indeed Cleopatra (1963), which almost ruined 20th Century Fox due to how insanely expensive the production was. It is remembered as a bit of a box-office dud, but it actually received multiple Oscars and as mentioned was the highest-grossing movie of the year. It had a $44M budget (~$350M in current monies), which I think still makes it the most expensive move ever, or at least a contender for the top spot . It wasn't alone, though. While others did better (relative to their budget), movies such as Spartacus, The 300 Spartans, and The Fall of the Roman Empire were pushing the boundaries of feasibility as everyone tried to out-do each other in terms of grandeur and spectacle. Things got so scary that, after it all came crashing down, it would take almost 40 years, up until Gladiator, for the whole Sword and Sandal genre to be revived. Scruffpuff posted:An economy? Establishing value, how money will be acquired, what it will be worth? How character growth and progression will occur? Getting new ships, their costs, and balancing that against the cash shop? No time for that right now, we have a fish tank to finish.

Literally Kermit posted:Hey quick Diamond Frogs update! I have flown spaceships and shot at spaceships with other spaceships. I have done this with goons. I also docked a spaceship in a space station. Finally, I heard stories of goons in spaceships shooting other people who roleplay in spaceships and blowing them up causing a giant rift in self valuation. I spent $60 on this. So far so good. Join Diamond Frogs. Spaceships.

Tokamak posted:A lot of streamers believe they are self-important. After all, even popular streamers on the lower end with 10,000 subscribers will have perhaps 1000 average views per video. I imagine to a streamer that it feels like you have 1000 friends who are hanging off your every word. In reality, they are probably after cheap entertainment, and don't give too much of a poo poo about your views. It's so weird because they're barely producing anything. I feel like hot poo poo when like a dozen people see something I made and like it on instagram or whatever but a) I technically made something and b) I don't tell those dozen people about every sketch I poo poo out for the rest of my life. I wonder what kind of insane person I'd turn into if people started watching me play videogames and rewarding me for aberrant behaviour?

Tippis posted:Conclusion: Chris won't save PC gaming, but he sure ruined it. thankfully in the decade since (thanks in no small part to things like steam and the humble bundle) you can get hit games with indie budgets so it's not as bad as it could be Kavak posted:What gets me is that all these visions and dreams for Star Citizen, if they somehow came true through the intervention of a deity or whatever, would take place in the most boring universe imaginable. The setting of their ultimate escapist sandbox is a boring, crumbling space empire with an explored galaxy, lame aliens, a lovely metaplot, and tiny, crappy little ships- at least EVE has some goddamn impressive scale. Where's the wonder of the unknown, the strange new worlds? Give me that virtual Enterprise-D, give me a galaxy far, far, away, give me Terra in the 41st millenium, give me anything but the UEE. the depressing thing to me is always there's a hint of a good game in there, and it'll never see the light of day because it's bogged down by nonexistent design docs, perpetually fluid priorities, horrible tech choices and a heaping helping of "me-too"ism from every other game that's been dev'd or released since the SC kickstarter not that it matters since E:D will basically be "everything SC tried to be" before SC gets out of the starting gate, but it's always sad to see those "could have been" early access/kickstarter projects poo poo the bed (before you count drama and real-life entertainment value, in which case SC's easily paid for itself)

I do think SC has a legitimately good idea in "let's make an expansive, immersive space game with lots of physics and detail" I'm not sure how much design has changed, but last I was aware they wanted exploration to be a big thing, to the the extent that new systems would be discovered by players. I think a lot of people, goons included, were actually very excited for the game outside of nostalgia. Space games were coming back in a big way and SC seemed like the epitome of that trend. It's been a long time since Freespace. Of course, it ends up turning out that the entire project suffers from extreme mismanagement, all the usual plagues of concurrent development plus runaway feature creep. Another thing I'd guess is that as all this become more obvious the RSI community becomes more radical as regular people get off the bandwagon. Toops posted:Name: Crobberstus drat.

So for all the problems because of micromanagement from Chris Roberts, and the troubles with trying to reasonably do ship-to-ship combat when every ship is its own instance but will also be able to 100% interact with the outside instances, and for the ships and clothing to be silly looking and over-designed with too many polygons and moving parts which are just going to slow the game down, how come the physics is all hosed up? People have been doing physics in video games for a long time. For almost 2 decades now, there have been games with objects sitting in a 3D world without constantly vibrating and jerking around like they were a book in an Elder Scrolls game the player is trying to neatly place in a bookshelf, except that's okay because it only happens for a few seconds, and only when you're doing pointless window dressing.
