I agree with your point, however Citizens will point out that the back of the t-shirts for quite a few people there say volunteer and so will be unpaid. The streamers they flew in though, not so much. https://twitter.com/SteelSeries/status/890289135042396160 Also new full time Greek Cinematographer at LA from looks of it, oddly, two new Greek members of staff in Derby too. https://twitter.com/Relshin_alot AP fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Aug 30, 2017 |

One thing I don't get is that if CIG has 400 employees then why can't they just pump out different linear demos for SC every year to keep the hype going by showing a variety of missions, environments and scenarios? None of those would actually have to work as a part of the full game of course but that's exactly what the latest demo was so why do they refuse to keep the hype train going? Surely a year would be enough time to build a new level with a new basic mission. What are those hundreds of people working on otherwise, there's really nothing to show for those numbers - pumping out spaceship jpgs only takes a small dedicated team to keep going.

Technically they should have enough art assets to build multiple games. Its because of CR's promise to bring the most fidelitous experience known to man, they have to keep rebuilding 90% of it.

Mr.Tophat posted:Remember, it's never been done before I watched Aliens last night, and seeing (especially) the lander scenes made me think... I bet that's exactly how SC backers see the final game: Envisioned Scenario: An 8 man group of badasses sits in a dropship, preparing to land on an alien world. One guy, whom noone likes, stays back at the dropship and takes it back into orbit. Group of badasses enter a huge derelict ship and starts sweep for the mission objective. After Miles Eckhart's crate is retreived an alert blares, and a relentless enemy attack begins. An epic battle back to the extraction zone begins, fighting fidelitious AI-controlled enemies on ground and in ships ("You forgot to bring the railgun? GAME OVER MAN!, GAME OVER!"), they slowly advance to the extration point while defending the crate-carrier. Exhausted, they call aforementioned guy noone likes (he's been sitting in orbit the whole time) to bring down the landing craft, so they can get out of there. Lander guy takes dropship down from orbit, and everyone enters the landing craft, and straps in. There's an order to go, and the lander screeches through the sky while a couple of badasses who sits at the rear of the craft, dispatch of baddies through the open hatch in the back. Hatch closes at the last possible moment. Everyone enters the capital ship, which probably is owned by the lander guy, since he's the only one who could afford the jpeg. He bought it to compensate for his extremely poor social and gaming skills by buying ships noone else can afford, so they'll have to have him in the group. The horror! Badasses discover that an alien lifeform has attached itself to the hull of the dropship. It turns out the crate contains an invaluable egg, laid by the alien. An intense battle ensues through the corridors of the captial ship, ending with the creature's defeat and a hefty mission bonus for its carcass. Miles gives each party member one of his jackets (that's the bonus for the carcass) and a fuckton of cash. He still wears 3 spare jackets. Everything presented in a level of fidelity never before seen! Reality Scenario 1: After a grueling 50-minute session to get everyone on the same server, one party member disconnects. Another 30 minutes is wasted, as the guy who disconnected was the guy carryng the railgun. A badass goes to get a replacement. Everyone else goes AFK, as to minimize the chance of a bug or a crash occuring while waiting 1 member falls through the floor of the dropship while entering atmosphere. Only 2 of the remaining 6 party members can see the crate. Unfortunately one of those guys is the one carrying the mission essential railgun, which he cannot use due to having to carry the crate. The other guy who can see it needs to leave in 5 mins, because of homework. They decide to abort the mission and just leave. 2 members gets stuck in the hallway on the way out and have to relog. They end up on diffent servers, and logs out to play Sonic Mania instead. The remaining 3 badasses and the pilot leaves the planet. 1 badass falls through the closed sidedoor at takeoff. Pilot tries to land again to pick him up, but unfortunately he's crushed by the dropship ramp. Back at the dropship, 1 badass barely make it out before dropship clips halfway through the capital ship floor and gets stuck there. The remaining badass and the pilot manage to clip through the roof of the dropship. Game crashes because the scripted alien attached to the dropship is dependant on the crate with the egg being present. As the crate is not on the ship, and the game has no contingency for this scenario, game client is programmed to do its 15-minute reboot cycle. Reality Scenario 2: Badasses ever gets to leave Delamar, because of an army of Goons blotting out the sun in zerg-like amounts of Auroras, waiting for anyone trying to leave or approach any point of interest, shoots them before they even get to board the capital ship.

After Derek got involved they locked social media down tight, it's been 2 years, so many new staff and people forget. Also everything is on fire which probably doesn't encourage people to be careful..

I gotta question, shut the gently caress up and hear me out: What happens, right, when someone is flying their squad of baddasses in a dropship or multicrew fighter, and the pilot disconnects? Like, in a dropship maybe someone can scramble to the pilot seat fast enough to save someone, if crobblers envisions such a thing to be possible, but in a multicrew fighter with a gunseat and no redundant pilot controls? Hahahaha. The best thing in the world would be the Forums Post: "So I disconnected and lost my Idris: is this covered under LTI?"

One of my friends swears by this method of telling how a business is doing. It doesn't matter how much they spend on promos and advertising when they start cutting on creature comforts that's when they're in trouble. Going from branded to off brand things in the kitchen and toilet, thinner toilet paper etc.
