Popete posted:CIG is charging far more than even DCS for single ships and ships in Star Citizen have the flight model fidelity of a cardboard box attached to strings. I think he's also referring to the upcoming Microsoft Simulator and why the cost is so high. And I think it's less to do with Microsoft joining on the 70 dollar bandwagon 2k started and more to do on how simulators like DCS are very expensive in comparison to most games. Space simulation ships don't have to be as detailed as an A10 Warthog in DCS,as an Origin 300i or whatever are not real and are left entirely to the imagination, and modelling a real plane with that kind of detail requires a considerable amount of research.

And I think it's less to do with Microsoft joining on the 70 dollar bandwagon 2k started and more to do on how simulators like DCS are very expensive in comparison to most games. Falcon 3.0 had a $79.95 list price in 1991. Which is a year or so after Chris Roberts last made his impression on the gaming industry by slightly changing the color of a pixel in a game other people made but went largely uncredited for. Obviously in 2020 there are more pixels on the screen than back then, so it's going to take him longer to identify which one to change the color of. Once that happens PC gaming is saved. You know I remember that game even chugged on a 386 at the time, and required a math coprocessor to do half-well, and it strikes me that kind of thinking is behind why Chris constantly mentions system resources alongside his magnum opus. He really is still in a time vortex from 30 years ago when PC processing power directly translated into performance. The passive implication is that his game has a similarly complex flight model; the literal interpretation is that Chris is a loving idiot, his "game" is an unoptimized piece of poo poo with no flight model to speak of, and that Chris is a loving idiot. He was the Forrest Gump of game developers even during his heyday, with sheer luck and efforts by others placing him near relevant figures and allowing him to mistakenly identify them as his peers, or more accurately, himself as one of their peers. The difference is that Forrest could play ping-pong and didn't steal from the disadvantaged. Scruffpuff fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Jul 13, 2020 |

colonelwest posted:The radiant AI in Oblivion was sort of cool for its time. NPCs would go about daily routines around the cities, so when you played the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild quests, you could follow them around and figure out the best time and place to kill/rob them. It all had the classic Bethesda bugs and clunkiness, but it worked from a gameplay perspective. I would like to see modern RPGs take that concept further. The idea behind it as hyped was neat, but in-game it was basically idiot NPCs with a basic schedule mixed with sitting stupidly in chairs randomly. Majora's Mask did that daily schedule poo poo better years before Oblivion. I'm always down for more believable and liveable NPCs though. SpitefulHammer posted:I remember reading this in a games magazine a year or two before Oblivion released and getting completely hyped for the game, because I was young and stupid. Oblivion and Fable are the two all-time greatest gaming disappointments. It's always weird to encounter the stans for either of those games, but at least none of them ever actually have anything significantly positive to say about them, it's always just about the time and place in their lives when they played it. Plus a generation of folks whose first Elder Scrolls experience would've been Oblivion, so they really just didn't know what was missing.

He is currently in discussions with Donald Trump about selling it to the US Space Force. I understand that one of the hold ups is over wither Chris is prepared to throw in his RSI space mops. Also, Trump wants the rights to the real life versions of the Bagman face mask to allow him to perfectly dominate the coronavirus.

what happens if you send them a 'suggested pledge' of $10, and then backup your reason for doing so as that is what you suggest the jpeg is worth? Would there be any legal case for them putting 'suggested pledge' on the website and giving you absolutely no way to suggest your own number? It implies that you're given an option to pick anything but the $ amount they want you to pick forgetting the already argued part that it's not a pledge, or donation, or anything like that and everyone knows full well it is a commercial transaction since they're charging tax and VAT etc on it

Obviously in 2020 there are more pixels on the screen than back then, so it's going to take him longer to identify which one to change the color of. Once that happens PC gaming is saved. That brings back memories.... bought Falcon 4.0 as a young lad, with the enormous handbook, the keyboard reference card and so on. Spent literally days to take-off, then learning how to use the different weapon systems and drat, how it paid off. The dynamic campaign in Falcon 4.0 is a thing I've never saw again in this detail. I literally felt being a small gear in a modern-day korean war. I mean, yeah, without time compression it could take quite some time to reach the target, especially if you've learned to do air refueling, but it happened so much around you I really enjoyed the flight. Friendly A-10 flying ground attack missions, tanks fighting on the ground, lots of contacts on radar, periodically check in with AWACS to get situational awareness... and with 2 spare AIM9, why not waste one or two old Mig-19 on the way? However, when Su-27 or Mig-29 entered the area it was a different story. And this whole thing with the simulated, dynamic conflict and (for its time) awesome graphics ran on a ~1999 computer. The requirements were pretty beefy at the time, but for today's standards its a joke. I mean, sure, from a gameplay-perspective it's risky. Having 100% dynamic missions guarantees that you get a few boring ones: Fly to the target without contacts, drop your bombs, fly home. To address this, Falcon 4.0 had 3 different starting scenarios: One where the attack from the north was repelled, crippling their air force which was the 'easy' scenario, one with a balanced situation and a third one where the north steamrolled the south and you operate out of the remaining, small pocket with basically no supplies. AIM-120? Sorry, we just have a few outdated AIM-9M available. The thing is: Even with todays enormous computing resources, I never really saw this kind of dynamic campaign again. It was basically 2 games in one: One strategy game were two AIs fought in the background, and the "front-end", which was the actual game at the first glance. What I want to say is, while games get more and more impressive graphically (which is a big factor in the absurd amounts the production of a AAA game costs nowadays), gameplay-wise there wasn't much groundbreaking stuff. Indeed, the "dream" that Chris sold was exactly this: A groundbreaking advancement. You aren't the ship anymore, you can walk around, fly and land where you want, and all of this in never-seen-before fidelity and with thousands of other people. However, Chris thought it was simply a matter of enough computing resources (server & client) and manpower to make this work. He had no idea that his dream would be an enormous (but no impossible) engineering feat, requiring laser-sharp focus, an engine built from the ground up for that purpose and of course the right people to do it. No bullshit "stretch goals", no tacked on mechanics, no fidelity-fluff, but a clear goal. And make no mistake, even with these things and good leadership in place it would still be difficult and could fail miserably, but Chris and his clown troupe never had a chance. So, yeah, Chris is an idiot, he literally thought "Well, computers are 500x faster now than in 1992, that means 500x more fidelity!", went with an unfit engine because someone made a nice render trailer for him in it, went with a naive "let's figure out how and what to do along the way" and the rest is history.

The 'suggested pledge' isn't about how much it costs, it's about which of the half dozen packages that include any given ship they think you want.

Some of the submarine games back in the days of keyboard overlays were kinda cool too. Since Chris thinks space battles are both Star Wars WWII dogfights but also simultaneously "shh they'll hear us" submarine tactics in space, has anyone competent ever made a space game where the combat simulated the latter? I can't think of one.
