Chin posted:SC is like a modern day Scientology where you get to watch L. Ron Hubbard flail his arms around on Youtube and the inevitable final act is going to come within months not decades. I watched The Master a couple of weeks ago (amazing movie) and Star Citizen did cross my mind a couple of times. Philip Seymour Hoffman did an extraordinary job of playing a megalomaniac with charisma, as Hubbard so clearly was. The mind boggling thing about Star Citizen is that Chris Roberts has all the charisma of a styrofoam cup, but somehow he's created a cult of personality around his completely boring personality.

"Why is the star being drug around in a "procgen planet?" Definitely not correct in all of my non-existent game dev knowledge, but this just screams 'built level,' and how it doesn't to these imbecile backers, I'll never know. It's also funny they mentioned a few months back on star citizen's development on volumetric clouds (Seen here how CryEngine ACTUALLY has clouds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjqddgfzfuE) Yet, they're working with texture layered clouds? the gently caress is going on with this company? Can they just say anything and these retards willfully eat it up because BDSSE?

By this point this has become tantamout to dangling a shiny object in front of a cat to play with, but never actually catch. The only difference being, that the cat doesn't empty its wallet for this.

also also, although the demo of the rocks they showed looked like dogshit to me we shouldn't be piling on CiG for trying to develop a workable "cheated" solution when 100 pages ago we were dogpiling them for insisting everything had to be full fidelitious

Isn't parallax occlusion mapping extremely resource intensive compared to say using normal maps for small details and actual geometry for things like rocks the size of your spaceman?
