For a second there I was shocked they'd agreed to do a presentation on stage at a live event but upon further reading it's just a Q&A with devs. No gameplay footage necessary! Just like PCGamer articles.

if CIG are ever going to do anything live on a stage again after their other debacles, you better believe i'm going to stream the absolute hell out of it.

i can't really believe that the 'CR Plays Star Citizen' video didn't get more attention by games media. it's just downright funny from start to finish; if it was any other games company president bombing so hard it'd be a memefest for the ages.

As much as I'd love to believe Ortwin is involved with porn, Rising Star Pictures, LLC registered in California is different that Rising Star Pictures, LLC registered in New York (the porn one).

That being said, someone should inform Rising Star Pictures, LLC (porn) in New York that Ortwin and Co. are infringing upon their copyright.

Ouch. If anyone else subjected themselves to "Meet the Devs" the one with Lesnick is instructive in this. J Pugh (fired in the Sandi rage incident) had a gimmick of asking his guest what their fave film was, then responding "I haven't seen it" This got quite funny when the films were Bladerunner, Star Wars, Alien etc. Lesnick was asked then told by Pugh: fave film which is NOT Wing Commander. Also at the begining of the interview there is an aaawkward moment where Lesnick says to Pugh "Good to meet you... Person who I employ" Also instructive to see that J Pugh is approx .025 Lenicks in size.

Not much has been going on in the stimpire so goons get mean. 2.2 should be some good drama.

In finding other things to do news I've got back into ED today. Played when the game came out but I got bored of the space trucking. Came back and made as much money shooting dudes as I ever did in weeks of space trucking. Also did a multipart mission with a huge (for me) payout. Planning to join up with goons shorty.

It's still very much a make your own fun game, but at least your own fun doesn't have to be space trucking unless you want to earn a space pittance. I really enjoy the combat and how heavy the my cobra mk 3 jpeg feels. Also I forgot how amazing the game looks. Especially when you DSR it up a notch to see space battles super far off.

Think I'll buy Horizons tomorrow and fart around on planets a bit.

After a nice hit of :420:, I think that Chris's only connection to Rising Star was for the legit projects (it's a dissolved company). It was probably set up just to transfer $$$ for tax reasons. However the Rising Star companies Ortwin is connected to are still active., the site says that it has been around since 1995. There is no way Ortwin would allow another company to infringe on his IP, so I think Ortwin is very much still connected with Rising Star.

Horses, porn, money laundering, mafia connections, embezzlement, fraud.... This is going to make a great movie.

CIG has decided to push forward with the Buccaneer, releasing another piece of concept art to give pirate players the dogfighter that the Cutlass was supposed to be. The thread itself is hilarious as backers vomit forth every possible piece of concept art they can imagine.

quote:

Now, since it can be hard to get inspired on just a name, here are the details we can share right now:

• Single-Pilot craft with no interior.
• Fast and Maneuverable, under a pure racer in speed, but handles well at high speed.
• Roughly the same size as a Sabre.
• Pairs well with the Cutlass or Caterpillar as an escort fighter.
• Extreme reliability, exceptional ease of maintenance.

That gamespot article is one of the most pathetic things I've read in this whole debacle.

quote:

"One of the oxymorons of crowdfunding is you're asking for money to make this game, but you don't know how much money you're going to get," he said. "Unless you just want to pocket the rest of the money, which isn't my thing at all; I want to make the best game possible

quote:

"Games get cancelled all the time. Games get pushed back," Roberts said. "By the time you hear about a game, it's probably been in development for three years and already had a whole bunch of delays. There's a whole bunch of stuff that I know from when I was at EA, working with Microsoft--loads of games got cancelled, loads of games got pushed back. Things always took much longer than anyone thought. But the general public isn't aware."

quote:

"Now you have a million game designers, a million arm chair developers, a million CEOs [telling us what to do]," Roberts explained.

This is a man that clearly feels no obligation to deliver on his promises and it just bleeds through his every response. He doesn't deserve a single ounce of the trust and respect heaped on him

Wasn't the Cutlass originally supposed to have an interior? I think the description when I first saw it was "...it has the appearance of a military fighter, but mated to an awkwardly larger hull for collecting loot." This just looks like they want to sell a ship that is essentially a Gladius, but shittier.

yea I think it's pretty weird that Ben would be talking about post mortems when they've put out maybe 5% of the final game.

Like there's a huge discrepancy between what he's implying, which is basically that the game has changed in fundamental ways, and the public farce where everything that's been promised is still somewhere in the pipeline and this is just what game development looks like.
