Remember that the only thing CIG said to expect this year is a new patcher and the opportunity to get on the Spectrum.

2.6 going to 2017 would be delicious. Somehow I can not fathom such level of major screw up. CIG surely needs to deliver something "playable" by Christmas no? Or do you think they will settle for some kind of demo?

The thing about it is, I specifically remember Roberts being interviewed back in 2012 exactly about Molyneux and his rampant overhyping and underdelivering, and how that might pertain to Star Citizen which was even back then being hyped to hell with its promises. And I remember his exact answer was that he felt that Molyneux was just unfortunately that type of developer, who let things get out of control and got carried away.

And yet mr. mushmouth failed to apply any of that insight onto himself, to keep himself from falling into the same trap and here we are in something far worse. :v:

I remember making a couple posts about it, back when this update was coming 'soon'. It was going to be an update to Arc Corp, back when the game was still planned as separate modules. After 2.0 got released, it completely fell off everyone's radar. From every indication that they've given, they encountered production problems with their contractor (Kythera). Their recent videos talk about how the German studio is building the tools, and doing all of the work in-house. This doesn't jive with the notion that it was supposed to be close to release over a year ago.

The AI got Star Marine'd and no one noticed.

It's amazing how much of this stuff falls through the cracks. This may have been pre-disillusionment for me (barely). I remember them showing the AI being worked on. Stuff like janitors cleaning up bartenders, well, tending bar, patrons drinking, walking around and finding seats, etc.

Seemed like it was days or weeks away....



It's almost like some.... I don't know, some kind of PATTERN or something, man....

3.0 likely won't hit this year. We'll definitely (most likely) see 2.6 drop though.

I know the development is the openest it could possibly be but as a skeptic I don't keep up with the latest information on the project as much as a loyalist so please tell me friend, what can we expect in 2.6?

I'd like to remind everyone that Civ 6 comes out in 3 days. It may be good or it may be bad (it will be good), but it is definitely a game and definitely being released and also you can kill Gandhi in it.

He is using the Citizen measurement of development for sequels. Once a game is released, the sequel is immediately in development. Then you need to add a few more years since most developers think about a sequel while the original game is being made. So it took six years, and over a thousand people (everyone who ever touched it, worked in legal, catering, or was a voice actor for a foreign language).

But Star Citizen, that was done in 3 years. Anything longer doesn't count. Stop spreading FUD.

I hope Cyberpunk 2077 comes out before SC.










That would be funny.

I have no doubt they'll release 2.6 sometime before the end of the year, the backlash would be too severe if they didn't. And it will no doubt be the same janky mess that the recent releases has been, with maybe a new flyable chariot. But with anything significant? Nope,

Star Marine is the notable addition with 2.6, with two playable maps. If it does get released before 2017, just how broken will it be?

Considering it's a year and a half late and entirely based on stuff that was "already in the game" it's not like it'll be an impressive accomplishment if it's released and isn't that buggy.

It is my first ever pre-order (via CDKeys for €36), after watching Total Biscuit's Initial Thoughts on it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q9fAlfEh6I

Mainly based off his comment that he felt it didn't obviously appear to be missing anything from previous Civ's, and so not immediately require expansions to be as good as the prior iterations.

I liked the lore and legend of the Silmarillion. It woulda been nice if he coulda whipped it into an actual concise book form before he died though.

It pretty disjointed and therefore a tough read, as is.
