the absolute best thing is gonna be when they show off the sneaky sneak gameplay of you escaping a "player owned" space prison or whatever and I'm sure it's going to be super organic and will work fine and the players will get it sometime in 2022

Does SC really have 'jaw-dropping' graphics anymore? Maybe back in 2015 it was but now it seems just okay and heavily hampered by random and terrible art direction.

Scruffpuff posted:An alternate end to the Star Citizen saga occurred to me today. What if, while they're chugging along with insane backers footing the bill, while Chris waddles around the parking lot with his pants around his ankles, PC gaming moves forward? New CPUs, new video cards, and finally one day some company with a shiny new engine basically makes Star Citizen with a different name. I can very, very easily see CIG framing that as the other company being carried by their work, and riding their coattails to success, as if CIG paved the way. Then they're just take their engine and game, reskin it, and market it as "the original" and backers will 100% repeat that everywhere they can manage. There is 0% chance of this happening because there is no star citizen engine. If you gave me every line of code CIG has made and asked me to produce a space MMO, I would start by DELETING EVERYTHING. And that's not spiteful, that is honest to god the absolute smartest move they could make right now. What they have is an unmaintainable nightmare. Its a loving disaster. Its pure tech debt. So this doesn't make sense. Everything that looks good about SC wasn't made by CIG, its just Cryengine/Lumberyard. Anybody who wants Cryengine can already license Cryengine, and you do it from Crytek, not CIG. There is literally nothing to license from CIG, they have not made anything other than JPGs. They do not understand how to design new game systems, so all they do is hack things together to give the illusion of progress. They have nothing. I cannot stress this enough. They have nothing. Beyond that, you really think that if Elite Dangerous finally fulfills all the vision of SC, that star citizens are gonna be cool with that? I mean, they'll definitely jump ship, but they'd be pissed at Chris for wasting their money while David Braben showed that what they wanted was easily achievable without even busking for their cash.

He's saying Company B comes in with the Company B engine, creates a game like Star Citizen on the Company B engine. Citizens of course don't care about this game because it's not Star Citizen and cannot live up to Crobber's grand vision. CIG quietly licenses the Company B engine, throws their assets into it, and then Crobber goes "look at OUR GREAT ENGINE!" Cue Citizens again fellating Crobber for his incredible vision and talent in all things. Truly the greatest mind of all time!

zebedy posted:why do they have citizencon? was it a stretch goal? utter insanity For the same reason MLMs have conventions. To reinforce the cult mentality and sell them a bunch of poo poo. Expect at least one finished and immediately buyable ship to be revealed there that was intentionally hidden from the roadmap (like everything they're ACTUALLY focusing on creating now).

Today the players can dissect your engine and analyze it better than you within a week, this wouldn't really pass. Took days to completely analyze (lack of) NMS's multiplayer. And CI isn't competent enough to cover it up successfully.

Also is now the time to buy into Star Citizen? I don't want to be left behind when the next age of gaming comes out!! Also I am seeing Death Stranding and I hope so is Chris Roberts with his crappy game designs and poor looking characters. And it runs on a PS4.

It's that time of year again, folks! Let's do some numbers: Total in 2012: $7,226,318 Total in 2013: $28,446,117 Total in 2014: $32,933,205 Total in 2015: $35,961,202 Total in 2016: $36,100,538 Total in 2017: $34,912,412 Total in 2018: $37,759,020 Total in 2019 (to date): $27,580,617 CIG has less than two months to make $10m+. Usually CitizenCon is in October and the Anniversary Sale is in late November, but right now they on the same day: November 23rd. No idea how this will impact funding. 2018's CitizenCon Sale total: $4,123,565 2018's Anniversary Sale total: $9,172,592 Reminder: according to CIG, they burn $50m+ a year. Without the Calder investment, they would have been sunk around Q2/Q3 2018. If additional revenue isn't secured -- either by a product release or additional investment -- they'll be out of money (again) by Q1/Q2 2021. And that's with funding continuing to hit the ~$35m/yr mark. TheAgent fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Nov 12, 2019 |

That's exactly what I'm saying. Some other company will build a game and CIG will claim they stole the tech and ideas, because that's what Chris Roberts does. He plays in a pool of his own piss saying what he WANTS to do, then when somebody else winds up doing something similar, he claims that he gave them the idea.
