Zaphod42 posted:As usual CIG are inventing things that are easily 15 years old. Try 30+ years old. I have my robotics textbook from my college days, with significant chunks of info on inverse kinematic math. It is the exact same mathematics as is used to determine how to move a robot to a certain position and orientation. Frankly it wouldn't surprise me in the least if we found out hundreds of years ago, Euler or some other mathematician did work on surface normals that was used as the basis for modern kinematics.

Zaphod42 posted:I did not say "DS1 was the first game to do it", it was just an example of something years older than that video. I know. IK is really old tech. Didn't mean to sound like I corrected you, just wanted to go even further back to highlight the false myth that CIG is some pillar of innovation when they can barely get the engine they signed up for to get it to do what they want it to do. I keep harping on this, if they had used something reliable like Unreal 3 at the time, they wouldn't have wasted so much time trying to get his game to work in any capacity.

I flipped through the album Ars had embedded in their article: I wonder what % of work that they show these poor guys working on has since been thrown out? (a lot I'm guessing)  Are they really sitting around drinking beer on the job?? (that would actually explain a few things...)  This one confused me for a second- a bunch of PS3 and 360 games?? Oh, right- this is from 2014.  The empty chair is a nice visual representation of Chris' current involvement in the project...

I'm loving the latest "hello" and Pixelate's great bug reports. The funniest scenario would be if the investors outsourced the console release of SQ42, and it releases in a year or so, but the backers still had to wait for CIG to release the fidelitous PC version to play it.

im the mining vehicle that looks like it can carry maybe 1/10th it's own weight in cargo also fast forward to 8:08 where their showcase space explosion features some debris that acts like it's in a gravityless vacuum, some like it's under the influence of gravity, some like it's experiencing drag in an atmosphere, and everything between. Also the thing that's being destroyed randomly rotates for no obvious reason and then freezes in place while it explodes how the gently caress can you be *proud* of this poo poo

If they actually wanted to make a game, agreed. The thing is though, when you realize Star Citizen was always a grift, crytek actually makes a lot of sense. Would the whales ever have invested so many thousands if they had used Unity or even Unreal? They'd have a much harder time making everything look fancy and shiny out of the box. Unreal looks good, but still takes some work... Course the game has taken so long that now it doesn't even look impressive anymore in any way, but the backers are already cultists and aren't going anywhere. Zazz Razzamatazz posted:

So if 1 year equals 3 years, Star Citizen has been in development for 24 years and still not released!
