It's Roberts trying to make his game into the Star Wars franchise of the new millennium.

Star Wars had preludes so his game has to have preludes as well.

The one thing I am genuinely surprised by is that no employee has gone rogue one and leaked in house gaming footage of the SQ42.

I used these things once and never again. It doesn't look right and it feels god awful. Like being drunk.

Predictions:
SQ42 will not be in 2017 (obviously)
Something called 3.0 will be released mid year. It will have nothing in it that was said to be in 3.0.
The engine change will not be done before the end of the year. Nothing of value will be gained from Lumberyard and they will just stick with what they got.
Derrek Smart will promise big things that turn out to be reasonably medium things (Yes, console release. No, it will also never be done)
And the big one: A massive change in the direction of the project this year will be openly announced. Think: dropping the MMO side.

You didn't hear this from me. Natch'.

-We're going to see 3.0 release much earlier than "mid-year."
-SQ42 will, at the very least, have a level (or few levels) drop this year. Though, I'm optimistic for a full release before end-of-year.
-Certain evocati will begin testing 3.0 very, very soon.

Ok. From what I hear, there will likely be one more 2.6 drop (2.6.1), which should include the first iteration of the "mega-map." That will be the primary test-bed for the Stanton (?) release in 3.0. There will be multiple stations, at least one full system to traverse as well as enhanced quantum travel and flight mechanics. My notes are still pretty vague, but hey: it's more than anyone else with a "source" on this gay thread, right?

Derek, do you know what's actually going on with this lumberyard "switch"? Because from most of what I've heard it doesn't involve making any changes what so ever and seems to be simply a way to get Amazon to support them if/when Crytech goes bust.

You seem to be implying that there's some work involved in the Lumberyard switch, but since they've said merging with cryengine 3.8 would be impossible, I'm not sure what they'd be trying to do.

Also, yeah I don't remember anything about episodes being mentioned when I pledged. And nothing was mentioned about an option for the "expansion pack".

But I wasn't an early backer so I must have missed that "Behind Enemy Lines" promise. Pity, because backer exclusive poo poo like that, do trigger me and I would have never backed this loving garbage company in the first place.

And then, what the gently caress is the prelude or whatever? Is it episode one, or a prologue to episode one?

It's not backer exclusive. CIG would never avoid offering something for sale deny fans the chance to access content.

The prelude is a rumored attempt by CIG to stave off the oncoming tide of anger by releasing some kind of ultra-preliminary taste of what Squadron 42 is supposed to have.

It seems like a really nice place to visit. Weather is good, lots of attractive people running around to yoga studios, and the pier and beach seem nice. No way in hell would I want to live there though, especially with traffic.

The last time I visited LA I saw a man die on the 405.
