Imagine overheating in MechWarrior during a fight and suddenly losing all your armor. You die instantly. Lest we forget that  also added the ghost heat system of an uninstrumented heat malus.

There’s also the concept that positivity will get them over the line, which is another classic piece of social superstition. Don’t get me wrong, positivity is an awesome thing, but positivity based on bad expectations is just delusion.

When in doubt blame the backers. Really, how dare they question Crobblers plan? How could anyone throw a stone to the magic man who absolved himself?

He wasn’t kicked out by Microsoft and did not leave a fiasco of a game development project that took 3 years on top to finish the chaos into a game with a release state. He was just misunderstood, and now, free from publisher boundaries and leadership and milestones, we all can witness his expertise. CIG needed 8 years for their PTU on a 2014/2015 tech level. That’s pure skill.

Bronze Fonz posted:I know I'm speaking to the choir, kinda have too since the whales will keep a whalin' and reject this immediately, but loving hell... I don't understand the "super advanced tech" that the uber quantum-engineers at CIg are not at all implementing that's "never been done before". So many actual, released games of the genre have already done it... you just need to take your dysfunctional head out of the sand to acknowledge it. The shitload of systems/planets/moons/worlds, the ships, ship customization, dynamic economies, whatever. Not the first time I plug it here but try Evochron Mercenary or Evochron Legacy from like a decade or so ago to see how good this was all implemented well before Chris thought he could make games again. An amazing oldie in which you can (gasp!) fly straight from deep space to a planet's atmosphere with no loading screen or transition, it's all in the same world and it's not freaking black magic. I remember some debates i was in with backers where they were claiming no game had ever done before the ability to get inside a ship and walk around doing stuff while the ship is moving and everything work due to the magic of localized physic grids. Replace ships with dinosaurs and you can do that in Ark. In Ark you can be on the back of a dinosaur (even a flying one... at least the largest one) and build a base on its back, while its flying, then do cooking, crafitng, whatever, while someone else is controlling the flight. But noooo, for the backers, nothing like it has been done before. They seem to live in a bubble where only CIG exists... well, other games do exist, but only when CR acknowledges it to compare SC to them and say SC is better.

Because your forgetting that "Star citizen is the only game doing it all at once with high end graphics" defense, even though they haven't implemented it in any way besides a video talking about it. The backers really don't know about games, all they do know is Chris mentioned them in a video either making GBS threads on it or the developers and claim whatever victory that CIG will beat their games released half a decade ago, even though they have failed at every release, doubled the time they promised people the game would release, and at this point, starting to look more dated than DNF

Given how ray tracing usually works, won't this make SC unplayably dark? I doubt they set up their interiors with actual light sources, not any sensible ones at least. I mean they claim they have but we all know it's smoke and mirrors.

No it should be fine. Games use several tricks to approximate day traced lighting, which Cryengine is doubtlessly using. One of the major ones is baked lighting and another one is a reflection probe. Baked lighting literally "bakes" Ray traced lighting into light maps (textures) which are then used to make areas darker or lighter. It costs nothing to render and as long as none of the lights move it looks just as good as Ray traced lighting. Reflection probes basically capture the scene from a general area in a 360 map and apply it to the object as color, creating "reflections" and tinting dynamic objects so they match the scene. After that I think it's down to just having really efficient real time lighting calculations for dynamic lights. The reason why laymen don't see the benefit to ray tracing in real time applications is because the industry had gotten so good at taking it that doing it for real isn't that noticeably different. However all the stuff I described requires work and render time, to bake out the lighting. With real time ray tracing it's a lot easier: just plop down the lights and they'll "just work". So short answer: Star Citizen will probably look the same, real time ray tracing or not.

stingtwo posted:now that other companies are using it, it will soon I doubt that CIG has the know-how to properly integrate Raytracing into CryEngine 3. But okay, let's assume they give this task to a junior dev that reads up on this stuff and has some more-or-less workable solution ready to go in a year or so: In true CIG fashion there will probably be one raytracing-enhanced puddle somewhere, where, when you look at it, get single-digit fps with an 2080ti. Citizens will of course be ecstatic, "Wow, look at this puddle! This has never been done before! Here, take my money!" since that`s the cycle of things.

These will teach us how the show was made (and how shows in general were made back then; the advent of digital animation has rendered huge warehouses of animation cels a thing of the distant past! Wing Commander Academy was one of the last shows of its kind, in that respect.)
