Congrats to CIG for thoroughly owning goons by releasing a few percent more of broken game only 6 years into development.

I woke up yesterday thinking I had woken up in Wonderland when I heard that 3.0 had been suddenly and unceremoniously shat out released to PTU. Today I woke up to find out that a voiceover recording was leaked which contained Peter loving Capaldi?!?

Am I in a coma? Is this all some crazy dream? :psyboom:

By the way, is mobiglass in any way connected to their Spectrum poo poo or is Spectrum still pointless.
Yes, the answer can be "it's both", though obviously I still prefer "parp".

The art team is surely up to the task of adding genuine 3D high-poly rivets to every ship in the game.

Because we are desperate to exaggerate the issues. Its really not this hard when you put aside the bias for two seconds. Yea its janky but it fundamentally works

The rivets thing totally reminds me of something, but I can't place it. Like something out of Robocop or whatever 80s film with some genuine satire that he's just ripping off.

Maybe this?

Its an exciting new game mechanic. When you take damage you'll have to run around the ship, patching the damage with space rivets in order to stop the water space leaking into the ship chariot. If you dont the ship chariot will sink crash into the planet below.

Exactly. And sometimes you just have rough writing. But that's usually when you write something you don't care about, and that even happens in works you're passionate about. Sometimes stuff just doesn't come together. Sometimes it's a boring transitional chapter. But that stuff reads like the prose I write in a fit of pique, when I'm just trying to get something out so I'm not staring at an empty chapter, paragraph, exchange or sequence. But it's the stuff you go back and edit so heavily that it probably comes out completely different.

It's not the sort of thing you pass off to people to record.

But like, with 165 mil, he can't (or most likely won't, due to his ego) spare enough money to hire an editor or two and a team of knowledgeable people to actively hone his ideas. Like, gently caress, if you gave me even just five million I'd get an editor, a creative team, and probably a few authors I really respect to go over my work and make something great.

Ah, this reminded me of something that bothered me about Star Citizen "lore" in general - despite trying to pass it off as sci-fi, it still feels more like space fantasy. It very much seems to be a result of breaking the rule of sticking to writing about the things you know. The writing team (and Chris) don't know enough about the science part, and the result is a bit of an uncanny valley in written form. Going full space fantasy would've removed this problem for them as everything could be solved through the means of space gods, space wizards and handwavium, but as we know, it's not quite the case.

However, that said, how does one gently caress up a newsroom interview script? Our mass media is saturated with this stuff, the format is well established and easily accessible, just turn on one of dozens of news channels and mindlessly ape a debate - how hard can it be? Or do they feel the need to reinvent everything? Tech and management weren't enough, and even the whole xenolinguistics were not the final fronteer, CIG needs to reinvent newsroom drama too now?

No. They are looking to make movies and other media using the IP. That's pretty standard. Just like what happened with Wing Commander.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand 3.0. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the mechanics will go over a typical players head. The fans understand this; they have the intellectual capacity to appreciate the depths of these mechanics. As a consequence people who dislike 3.0 truly ARE idiots, they couldn't appreciate the humour in Chris's existential catchphrase "Soon tm" which itself is a cryptic reference to CIG literature.

The funny part is that they don't even have proper Newtonian mechanics or gravity that makes any sense at all, but instead of ditching realistic physics to make a more entertaining flight model they made ships have super powerful thrusters, pathetic top speeds and noclip in atmospheres.

Actually while we're here, how many of the top posters in this thread were responsible for buying into the hype in 2013 or whenever? Shame on you. You should all have to write long blog posts begging forgiveness.

It's true. I once thought that all of the physics and collisions were irredeemably broken because the underlying engine had been butchered, hacked and ruined, but then I realised that the gameworld is inside a bose-einstein condensate, the ships are constructed in real time around a point mass using first order differential invariants and the commando's nipple jets are an artistic abstraction of Kirchhoff's law of thermal emissions
