"I confirm that you can actually feel the weight of your ship, this is a plain new sensation, your ship is heavy! There's a lot of inertia and I sometimes struggled to keep my ship straight!"

NOT A SHILL!

The translation is poo poo, adding in complements to the game that don't exist.

For example:

Original
"La Nox elle, est très classe ! On a une sensation de vitesse pas trop dégeux et j'ai trouvé qu'elle se maniait bien malgrés le terrain pas trop adapté pour elle."

Reddit
The Nox is a beast! Classy also! The speed feedback is quite good as of today. As you can imagine, the Nox is really agile, even on Daymar's scorched suface.

Actual
The Nox is very classy! You have a sensation of speed that's not too disgusting and I found that it maneuvered well despite the terrain that's not suited for it.

During those 20 min, I had a strong feeling the game evolved a lot, that's what I retain from this playthrough. I wonder if we'll be able to get as much fluidity as I got during this lite demo.

Yeah, the fun thing about that clip is that they 'scroll around to see the gun', not to cover the sight of the character spazzing around trying to get out of the door. Leaving via the sunroof was not the plan. He has to walk around the outside to close the ramp.

I didn't get the clip, but someone fires that *shoulder-mounted* railgun at the feet of another player for no visible effect. None. Graphics may be in, but the gun don't work.

So, for the next few minutes I'm going to loving rant about a shoulder-mounted recoil generator and point out the relative difference between say, a shoulder mounted missile, which has a charge to clear the tube, then ignites the motors, and a railgun, which uses electromotive force to accelerate a slug. One delays the acceleration of the projectile until it's past the clavicle-snapping stage, the other doesn't.


Missile fired, note the exhaust from the kicker.


Motor Ignition ~1.5s after launch. Stops cooking the operators and allows for an acceleration stage.

The sheer idiocy involved with coming up with the idea is beyond belief and the designers should be taken out and made to shoot a .303 until they understand recoil.

Note: Traveller had this and a shoulder-mounted plasma-gun, but both required use of TL15 Battledress that would lock to absorb recoil; that's what thinking science fiction gets you.

Even WW2 Nazi's understood rocket propulsion and the need for protection from it. loving kids today have no respect for weapon tech history.

I was told that we'd see a playable state of SQ42, albeit not for release to backers as of yet. My understanding is that the assets from the PU are used by both branches, but because SQ42 doesn't rely on the netcode and infrastructure requirements as does the PU, it's a much more simplified batch that is just being polished for the release that it's supposed to be. That said, I signed up for SC the MMO and I'm really just dying to see working scalability and netcode.

There'll probably be a ship advert for it, so he'll cue it from the stage so the maximum number of Citizen viewers see it, get hyped and buy it, plus he likes getting cheered like he actually did something.

Not and expert, but could this behavior be explained by the engine being unable to ascertain the ship and actors correct position due to CIG having muked with the scales ?

Instead of being in a fixed point with an insignifiant margin of error, the ship is in a "bubble" of possible position due to rounding errors, meaning it is redered in a different position every few frame and the rounding error fluctuate.

That or the whole thing is Jank floating on putrid code.

No I think you're right on. This has been my working theory: In order to achieve bigger levels, they downscaled every game object. This, of course, is a terrible idea, because physics engines are designed around a specific scale. You can't just make objects smaller, it throws off the mass/size/force/velocity math that's going on behind the scenes. It explains the lack of inertia, constant collider/clipping errors, and all the small jittery glitches that happen constantly.

How come the Hellblade developers could make convincing mocap with a cheap janky homebrew setup but with $150 million CIG has nothing

Because i'm starthing to think that Roberts did not do Mocap on those numerous studio session. He (tried) to do green screen cinema in the like of Lucas prequel trilogy. The data was thus produced with cinema in mind and turned out to be completely useless as mocap data. SQ 42 was probably a "cinematic adventure" at some point and the mocap cinema created for that can not be used for whatever it is supposed to be now.

Also if the big names of Oldman and Anderson really did pull out, its possible all mocap data figuring them (even if just in the background without any spoken lines) cant be used or released, creating major holes in any storyline.

I don't know how anyone can continue to back this project after watching this. I'm not trying to be snarky or mean, I just don't understand it.

Its good looking jank. You have the "feel" of a game, even if the crucial last 30% (Gameplay, narative, characters) are missing. If you dont have a bit of wisdom and life experience its very easy to project your wishes on those last remaining 30% and have the thing turn into your dream game.

Problem is those 30% are the glue that make the whole fit together, and without it the game is just a very expensive art book or ship commercial.
