JFK gave the moon speech on September 12, 1962. America landed on the moon July 20, 1969. Now maybe we should give CIG that much time to make the game before the pitch forkes come out.

That's the really strange bit as far as the culture part goes. I've come across a surprising amount of pro-gun people who are against that violence in media. I never got that particular bit of logical cross-wiring worked out.

i would guess its because the media usually trivialise the resposibility of gun ownership. It make owning and using a gun appear easy and fun, something you dont want in the mind of a person the first few time they handle a firearm. You want them focused and calm, not giddy with enthusiam.

Just getting stopped over for a busted backlight become a lot more complicated if you have a licensed firearm on you or in the vehicule, even if its locked in the boot, but the media never go over that in detail, unless its to cause another action scene.

No game but AMAZING FACIALS

This looks good!

Every game that is played needs an extreme close up into your characters eyeball so you can see them blink.

Does the normal game let you zoom in that close on your characters features?

The gameplay looked a little jank though. But baby steps! If the graphics and polygons are high enough, a game is just going to appear suddenly.

It kind of makes us look callous now but when you have four years to watch an idiot furry octuple down on the dream while writing a new bible on being an idiot you kind of start being harsh and not liking these guys.

At least MoMA keeps it contained to this thread for the most part and is mostly alright despite causing the conflict where people use reason to try and reason him out of a faith based viewpoint.

This is true.

Also when the backers interact with people it sort of degenerates further when they act like pricks.

In my experience this type of poo poo is usually dictated from up high. Imagine the scenario...

[Crobbler] Right we're doing a uhh Star Marine game and we need to get some ideas together of what it will look like. You've got 2 days.

2 days later

[Concept Artist] Right, okay.. well we've come up with the following ideas to get a feel with where we're going..
[Crobbler] Yes! That's it picture 2, perfect we'll use that.
[Concept Artist] Well, these are just early ideas, I mean we'll need to go away and..
[Crobbler] No picture 2, that's perfect, we'll use that. Well done, get those files over to marketing.
[Concept Artist] B..but..
[Crobbler] I'm off to Italy, see you all in a week.

In the past I've actually had to explain to customers why they can't use the actual artwork in my portfolio because that was commissioned by other clients.

I thought Chris Roberts was interested in fidelity and realism. Who goes to sleep like they're living in Leave It To Beaver? If my Herculean ripped guy isn't going to sleep holding a phone or a tablet for 2 hours before finally going begrudgingly to sleep, this is junk.

Refactor this 1940's fake crap. Come on CIG guy reading this forum. Don't let this lack of realism slip under Chris' watchful nose!

Halo is just a little known franchise. Once CIG can properly metastasize into every franchise and steal every ounce of original art; only then can Star Citizen finally release.

And Star Citizen 2 can only happen after enough new original ideas and art have been created. Stealing stuff isn't easy, but CIG has made it into an art form.
