So erm, they totally missed E3 and played down Gamescon so they could save their best stuff for Citizencon right?

I missed the entire thing due to alcohol and a stag party, did they manage to convert us all yet?

All stage demos have custom scripting, even open world games. It's not a big industry secret, its just amusing listening to Chris hype it up as something more than it is.

Wasn't there a bullet point from The Agent that quoted Chris as saying that the SQ 42 demo was "Not even close to okay"

Ah yes, here it is.

sq42 cutscenes have now hit over $60m to be produced (this includes the mocap work, VA work, stunts, shoot time, internal cleanup of the scenes, character modeling and artwork)

^ this was mentioned to me awhile back, but I couldn't believe it. the two people I talked two and leaked the previous (now confirmed) poo poo before the kotaku uk piece was released, so I trust them

they are trying to find things for ben/alexis/lando to do

their positions are winding down and will be terminated aka transferred

there's been some problems getting some streamers paid (again)

the new troops had a visit from roberts (unknown contracted studio)

From CitizenCon 2016 I got:
- SQ42 progress is good, they just don't want to show anything till it's polished and fully there (makes sense).
- Procedural tech progress is great, the whole company is obviously really excited about it. I think the art and design people are probably soooo excited to get turned loose on creating this universe. The terrain on the planets already looks better than anything I've seen in any other game, and the tech is still in development. During the demo, my brain was going crazy with possibilities for missions, game features, etc. There is so much potential there and there is no better team to run with it than CIG.
- people seemed speechless after the demo ended. I was speechless. Kind of like, wow. Hmm. That gives us a lot to think about there.

I would say the demo transcended "wow PEW PEW! Where's STAR MARINE!?"

It went above that, and focused on the future. And it isn't totally written yet, so it somewhat gives a feeling of "emptiness" I suppose. But that's pure potentiality people.

the damage control from the pr types has begun in earnest

I'm just watching the recording of the presentation now.

But so far, I've just seen more planetary stuff.

So that meains in the last two presentations CIG has spent more time demoing being on a planet instead of shooting spaceships in space.... isn't this a space game?

Also where's derek's blog that's going to get him sued?

I'm almost convinced you're a paid shill, you're so willfully dense. Nobody is laughing at the scripting, we're laughing at the narrative of "pupil to planet - in game!" when they don't show the player doing it, they show it happening from a camera view

The demo wasn't ready, and it squares up with everything we know about Chris's management style.
In development you typically have level/mission where most of the early work goes into. Chris told the staff to polish it up into a stage demo. The staff knew full well that it couldn't be achieved in the time frame, but had to try in order to appease Chris. They kept the homestead test map in a state which could be presented it to Chris as 'plan B'.

Then all they needed to implement was the button pressing bits, drop in a couple of dummy AI, script a storm. And then do the fly over, sandworm, and zoom out cinematic sequences. Compared to loving around with a heavily WIP game build, adding a handful of crap to a test map is a piece of cake.

Did you read what you quoted, that's just what I said. Chris says one thing, shows another. It's just not a surprise to me, and is actually expected from stage demos.

Yes, it was mostly clips of staff but with a few very selective fan bits cut in. The fan bits were mostly streamers/youtubers prostrating to CIG's glorious development.

Ok, let's take a stab at it:

1) 2.6 Drop including Star Marine. The mechanics will be janky and it's like some leftover code from Illfonic. My guess is that it's released in this forum to appease backers wanting an Arena-commander style of play for fps.
1a) Predicting that FPS "2.0" was already created and will be implemented in SQ42 and beyond.
2) SQ42: I predict that we'll see SQ42 gameplay at CitCon with a possible release of 1-3 levels in Q1 of 2017. Remember, this is their bread-and-butter release so they likely don't want to divulge to much storyline (however riveting it is to you guys).
2a) SQ42: Likely a full Episode 1 drop by the end of Summer 2017.
3) PU: We'll likely see more detailed procedurally generated environments at Citcon including vegetation/forest/etc. I'm assuming we'll see better-scaled planets as well.

edit: 4) Polaris Concept Sale
