just take the sentence "i bought this hot piece of info on some prime real estate. i'm going to land and take some core samples and conduct a seismographic survey to make sure it's suitable for my ore extraction outpost. also i want to make sure it's not too far away from the refinery infrastructure as not to impact my economic bottom line" now take a moment and for each single step imagine the necessary fully fleshed out gameplay systems that need to be engineered and implemented for this to happen

So after almost six hours of this complete bullshit, here's some things I'm taking away: * They sell a contradictory message. You'll explore planets alone and claim them. And at the same time, you'll have to claim land (with a BEACON) on a planet you have to share with others. Contradictory messages like these are get-outs, the citizens will only hear the positive message and ignore or discount the negative. They'll trumpet the space-to-assets zoom in on a planet and discuss how labour-intensive the work is. And then tell you there's hundreds of planets out there to explore. * All the partnerships are marriages of convenience. A useless app for weather on imaginary planets. An over-expensive SSD from a hardware company trying to get into the SSD market is the only way you can get another imaginary ship. * moisture farming. * really really obvious discussions of game tech problems that have already been solved with other engines. To the point I'm actually wondering are they trying to "white room reverse-engineer" unity or unreal engines, because that's what it looks like. They would discuss these in excruciating detail in the powerpoint presentations/panels, and then discuss them AGAIN in interviews with Lando afterwards. * mutant chinese spaceship turtles. * Getting citizens to vote on the top 10 broadcast moments. All of which were terrible. There's more but my brain is trying to stave off the horror long enough to make it to the WAVY HANDSES keynote address.

Why even bother with a Q&A? Every single loving question people have, asking "Will it be possible to..." is ALWAYS answered with a "Yes". They loving promise everything, and deliver nothing. Why can't whales see this happening?

Pioneering the Future Presentation Summary - Canned presentation by Not Elon Musk about the development of technology in SC's universe. - Pioneer introduced, when seen in motion it looks like an even bigger Homeworld ship rip-off. - Brian zombie update: still a zombie. - Tony Zurovec makes an appearance after being stored underground for a year by CIG. - Show is about how the planetary landing mechanics will take place. - "This is for Orgs or a single player" - Stats that will almost certainly change. - Built for 4-8 players (or one player and 3-7 AI). - Limited amount (1,000), unless cash-buys are unlimited? - Tony Z explains how mechanics work: You can buy plots of land to build on! - More mechanics; they might as well be arguing over what colour unicorn they want, given how far out this mechanic is. - How they plan on having players build outposts. - Plenty of concept art 'ideas'. - Moisture farming! Q&A: -Can I land my dream chariot on it? - Yeah it was all just a ship sale. I'm not going to do a summary for the keynote since most people will likely be watching it and it'll be on Youtube. Forgot to mention moisture farming. Nanako the Narc fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Oct 27, 2017 |

FMguru posted:I think that Face Over IP technology company had been rattling around the game industry for a couple of years too, trying (and failing, because it's a dumb idea that adds nothing to game play) to interest companies into licensing the tech for their games. Croberts picked it up because 1) he is a idiot and 2) it would give him something to point to as evidence that there's a game with features being developed here. I assume the Intel SSD is the same thing - Intel had a bunch of those things sitting around unbought and cut a deal with CIG so the division making those SSDs could point to a sale and Croberts could tout his partnership with Intel. They're marriages of desperation, not convenience. I imagine every company with an unwanted dead-end product or technology is beating a path to CIG's door to form a "partnership". Star Citizen, the game with a dozen new kinds of technology (that were all passed over multiple times by every other game company)! It's not Intel's style to be desperate. The Intel guy (who is an actual salesman) was telling the crowd that they didn't want to alter their drive tech to fit SATA, they want everyone else to use their PCIE, that's patronising even to a crowd of gamers. I'm pretty sure they really want to get those customers on their sales list for later sales since they're gullible enough to buy their poo poo. But I agree, every shyster on the block would be trying to get in on this. I think the weather app guy was definitely desperate.
