They can't even put out a 30 second teaser with 5 seconds of actual gameplay? Showing any gameplay would spoil SQ42 and Chris wants to keep everything a secret. Only someone that drank the Smartaid would imply that they don't show it because it's a buggy pile of poo poo. e: missing cattes

Most open game development in the history of world! *Hides the alpha behind a pay-walled NDA* *Refuses to release a single frame of graphics from their "soon to be released" epic singleplayer game*

Only someone that drank the Smartaid would imply that they don't show it because it's a buggy pile of poo poo. I just had a thought. What if EightAce was serious when he wrote a couple weeks ago that Squadron 42 would be the greatest game since like ever? I'm not trying to argue that he's got the "right" answer to that question, I just think we should be able to handle conflicting reports more maturely than Reddit does.

It's just ridiculous. How hosed is the development of SQ42 that they can't even put a few seconds of someone shooting in a hallway or flying a spaceship and shooting a little? And this game is supposed to come out within 6 months? What a joke.

There is a lot speaking for Squadron 42 after all: its star-studded cast, the enormity of its ambition and vision, the jealously guarded gameplay footage It's easy to lose sight of what's right in front of you after all. Maybe 1.1m+ Citizens can't be wrong?

MeLKoR posted:None of which transforms what he did produce from poo poo into gold. Yes Crobers is a tard but that doesn't make the rest of the people involved good as if by magic. What we do know is that the art direction is terrible, the extent to which that is the fault of the art director or the fault of the CEO is debatable but it can't be the fault of the CEO alone. Yes it can be, remember the David Jennison letter? Also do you live inside the US? We're all pretty much living paycheck to paycheck due to student loans/mortgages/health insurance tied to employer. We also work at will and can be terminated for any reason. It's called "At Will" employment.

Only someone that drank the Smartaid would imply that they don't show it because it's a buggy pile of poo poo. If CIG was telling the truth (bear with me here), then the claim that showing any footage at all would be a "spoiler" is basically confirmation that SQ42 is made up entirely of cutscenes at this stage, and there's actually no implemented gameplay at all yet. This is consistent with CIG's ability to create a game. Realistically, if they had 5 seconds of working gameplay to show, they'd be plastering it all over the place. They know they're losing people by the truckload. The inability to produce even the smallest amount of actual upcoming in-game content to whet people's appetites at a time they desperately need exactly that paints a rather dire picture.

No one is going to buy this game if it ever gets released. To a normal human being it looks like complete mediocre garbage. It's Space Game #33232. They are doing nothing new or compelling, and the stuff they are doing isn't even polished or interesting compared with any single game released in the last decade. The target demographic has already bought the game. It was dead as soon as it got removed from Kickstarter. I guarantee Kickstarter saw that coming and got rid of them so they didn't have to deal with all the backlash from returns and lawsuits.

There just has to be - too many of the references are things a casual observer of the trainwreck just wouldn't know about - from the "Commando" references, the bunny costume, the "M'Lady" references, the guy tipping the fedora, the stretch goal for a space door, the gold vault having more money in comfort than in actually making the game, and on and on - there is so much, and so much of that was a humor focus in this thread and not necessarily easily found elsewhere. It's like a summary of this thread in game form. GOTY. I was thinking of posting pretty much this, there's just too many really specific thread in joke references for it to be coincidental

You're giving people the benefit of the doubt, life isn't simple black and white. At CIG I'd assume as with every company there are excellent, average and poor employees. In the early days you'd hand pick the best and employ friends (suck ups/family), as time has gone on I suspect it's a lot harder to employ the best and it's increasing noticeable that people being promoted internally don't seem to have any prior shipped games... If I worked in the game industry I'd be looking to get out of CIG asap now though, this game is going to be infamous.

Watching him on the old videos from 2 years back or such, he always struck me as the creative sort that gave no particular fucks, so long as he got to do a job well enough. So my guess is that there finally came a straw that broke the camel's back, he got fed up with it, put in his resignation and switched over to make a clean break, while his career still remained not too tainted by CIG's mark.

This is the Goat Simulator equivalent to Solar Plebian. And as someone pointed out, the NPCs actually mention Star Citizen by name. It's really awesome if you think about it - back in the day when Daikatana was tanking in similar fashion, there wasn't really the kind of transparency and Borg-like instant hive-mind communication that social media has brought us. As a result, we had to wait for it to fail, and then read about it. In 2016, we can watch it fail in real time, while games taking the piss out of it come out just to poke fun, etc. If you're a failure of a game development company, nowadays you simply don't have the luxury of time - you have to fail quickly, or get eaten alive while you ineffectually flail around.

This is consistent with CIG's ability to create a game. They do have working FPS gameplay. If you think even a lovely studio like CiG can't produce a basic FPS with 114 million dollars and 4 years of development time you are wrong. I'm sure they will probably produce a trailer with short spurts of SQ42 gameplay at some point this year. 20 seconds of Mark Hamill and Admiral Parp, with 10 seconds of counter strike level FPS. The problem is that this is all a bait and switch. As DSmart says, they basically put SC on coasting mode to turn their efforts to something they actually can produce, which will be a lovely, uninspired, "Wing Commander"-esque FPS that they think will confirm for fans that the Crobbler is competent and following through on all promises. In a way they are right. Getting out SQ42 by the end of next year will give their most diehard fanbois an out to claim their money was well spent. It also gives CiG cover to let a few more years go by before their game is actually released. 2020 Star Citizen release with limited features (and maybe half of what was originally promised). Of course it will end up being a mediocre game at that point with old graphics, but Crobbler and Sandi will be millions richer and ready to retire at that point, or make a movie.

Guys. Goat Simulator totally doesn't reference Star Citizen. The NPCs shout "Star Citizen took all my money", "I'm so poor" and "My wife hates me and my spaceships" when you headbutt them across the room. I don't know where the gently caress you're pulling all this poo poo from. It's mainly about Star Wars.
