AbstractNapper posted:Merging SQ42 with Star Citizen would make sense. It's idiotic for them to keep to making two games when they practically and provenly can't handle developing one, while the project management is chaotic due to parpy Chris and marketing stuff is taking up all or most of their resources. Yea, don't think that would be just broken promise, it would be a clear case of false advertising that they couldn't delete from the internet, given how many "news" articles were put out about the split of S42. I can see them trying to call S42 prelude as "promise complete" and then try to roll everything else into SC, but even then they'd be running a really big risk of a whale going over the edge and starting the lawsuit train.

I have a theory that the SQ42 Vertical Slice was cancelled due to Infinite Warfare showing them up. Within two months they went from "nearly done" to contradicting themselves about the nature of what the demo would even be. There's a big thing that happened in those two months and it's the launch of Infinite Warfare. A blockbuster military scifi AAA dogfighting and on foot combat game that simulates downtime between missions in your spaceship carrier and lets you freely choose which missions to do across a whole Star System, and performance-captured Game of Thrones characters, i.e exactly what SQ42 is supposed to be. It even does the more open-freeform combat situations that SQ42 is supposed to with your character movement, hacking into bots to turn them to your side, calling in air support, using turrets, even hijacking mechs, all of which is more dynamic than Star Marine combat. Despite backers insisting SC will be insanely polished, unlike those evil publisher games, they've never put out anything polished for anyone to judge this, and I genuinely think they can't, even their pitch videos passed off as progress are buggy messes. IW is actually insanely polished and good looking, it has probably the most stunning space vistas of any released game and faces that don't look like they're melting. So I think they realised their grand showing was poo poo compared to games actually released and chickened out, Chris then turns up to the Anniversary show announcing they're redoing the Vanduul and all their ships because they're not fidelitous enough, so they're probably redoing everything to try and stay on the bleeding edge. They can't convince anyone with gameplay, so they have to do so with graphics.

That thought had crossed my mind, take this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmaZw1xMxBQ&t=71s and contrast it with the morrow tour or the star citizen equivalent of the spaceship launch sequence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8wTqdDXplc#t=014m47s . You can polish that as long as you want it's not going to look anywhere near as dynamic and exciting.

I think it's awesome the game has progressed to the point they can create meaningful videos of legit gameplay not just ~=dReAmS=~ With one of their top streamers contributing, they stand to increase their viewership a lot compared to the measly thousand or so who hung around for RTV. I can see great potential in this

nawledgelambo posted:loving lol, rip rtv Aim =/= Resolution? There's the problem, a 'Resolution' is an absolute that must be kept or else is untrue, whereas an 'Aim' doesn't have to be accurate to be true. I can see why they didn't make "Continue to improve content" an actual 'resolution' though, just aim in it's general direction and hope it sticks, they are amateur hour.

The cutscenes won't be skippable because they will all be done in-game from the player perspective.

It's gonna be like half life with cutscenes. But you'll jank through the floor every 5 minutes, so make sure to save often unless you really like Pusher.

The funny thing about SC is, cryengine has been used for MMOs before, and while most (maybe even all?) MMOs built on cryengine are poo poo for one reason or another, many had zero issues with a) performance b) netcode lol. tax:
