Ursine Catastrophe posted:Honestly it's not even that-- you can certainly slap together something barebones in a short period of time (just look at the 1-dev Plebian updates), it just gets exponentially more complicated every time you increase the scope. Ferdelicious assets, plus massively multiplayer, plus FPS plus space sim plus plus plus and suddenly you're looking at a 20 year dev project-- and they haven't even started doing DNF's musical engine routine, either. How much you want to bet it's coming, though... The funniest part about all of the Microsoft chat is even if Microsoft took over , they'd probably make it worse. It would have to be win10 dx 12 only, and work on the xbox. I hope Microsoft takes it over.

It all would've worked out if those mean old developers had kept throwing money Now I'm imagining what would've happened if someone had yanked Romero off Daikatana and desperately tried to salvage it. Would he be in Croberts position now?

PAGE 42!!!! O9  Star Citizen ruins my immersion because if we have push-to-start self-driving cars in ten years, then in the year 2900, we'll have AI flown push-to-start ships and the monetary system as we know it will be discarded.

Ravane posted:Solar Plebian should have this though. Like pressing the red start button for the ship should just make the sound "beep boop beep boop". Not only that but the 'get in' animation should be ten minutes long, unskipable, and 110% immersive! Get in, make sure he's buckled in, check his belts and suit, check his helmet, put helmet on, double check oxygen supply, run through life support test, etc. etc.

xanif posted:No matter what game comes out, no matter how good it is, the cultists will not admit that it could possibly be as good as Star Citizen will be because they imagined a perfect game that is unattainable. Yeah, they're pretty much immune to being tempted away from SC by other games coming out because they honestly expect Star Citizen to be the second coming of Christ. No game can meet their expectations so as long as Star Citizen continues to be delayed, it's just more confirmation that they need to wait for this perfect game. CIG should just take another decade over this game then retire.

"oomph ok here we go, just gotta.. ahh there we go and the other leg... oohff ok right, mmph there's the seat ok where's the... ah ok just gotta push the.. humm... ah ok right push then errmm.. where's the... ah there's the one right so now what's next, oh I remember...." Because that's exactly what I hear in my head every time I watch one of those ponderous "use" animations.

Lime Tonics posted:Oh poo poo, police quest popped into my head. Forgot to check your tires before driving? gently caress YOU YOUR DEAD. I loved that game though. So unforgiving, so entertaining. Old Sierra classics are some of the best games I grew up with. I was a little too young to play them and naturally they were all made in foreign language which helped me to learn English better than most of the kids of my age.. but drat, those games were so drat unforgiving back then. I think it was in Kings Quest 4 where I accidentally uh.. missed with an arrow early on in a game and spent another.. only to get completely cut off near the finale of the game because hey, you shouldn't have wasted a single arrow! START ALL OVER AGAIN. Edit: Codename: Iceman is the one game I could never finish, nor could my older cousin.. because that game had one insanely complex submarine sequence.

Kavak posted:It all would've worked out if those mean old developers had kept throwing money Doesn't appear so, but I did find this resonant blog post. It's very worth reading. This guy gets it. Star Citizen will be this generation's Daikatana. quote:"Roberts has vigorously denied many of these claims, threatening to sue The Escapist, whose story on them was even harsher than those of Joystiq and Kotaku. But he cannot deny fundamental and well-documented problems remaining that point to another Daikatana in the making: the profligate real estate expenses; the workplace turnover and the vengeful former employees, whether they are being honest or not; Roberts’ incredible boasts that seem impossible to fulfill, promising lightyears beyond what competitors are delivering yet with nothing to show so far; endless delays; damning media coverage; Nixonian levels of paranoia (why on earth is Roberts obsessed with Derek Smart?). No matter what Roberts’ lawyers say: this is Ion Storm all over again." quote:"Star citizen will prevail as it already has. You won’t get to laugh like you imagine". Uh-huh.

Computers did perfect play, and were thusly predictable (anything a computer could do, another computer could handle). Dunno if SC is going for that though

Dark Souls 2's ladder animations are better. I've been playing a lot of Guild Wars the past week and every time I play that game, I'm always impressed by how good it looks. It's the best looking DX8 era game I've ever seen and, in my opinion, still holds up today. The ritual area in the catacombs during pre-searing still looks very good and if I weren't so lazy, I'd include a screen shot of it and ask everyone to tell me when it was released; but I'm too lazy. With all their talk of 'fidelity' SC fans are blind to the fact that art style and consistency trum-- beat polygons and shader complexity every time. edit: http://40.media.tumblr.com/9fb5533231150393d44a62c82fe06c3d/tumblr_nc6fwyBAVo1spi3bdo7_1280.jpg Roflan fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Mar 3, 2016 |
