I said come in! posted:How did Roberts get some of these actors? Mark Hamill I actually understand because he was in the Wing Commander games, but Gary Oldman???? Money + "You guys raised 92 million without corporate investors? You're mocapping in Hollywood studios and hiring Hollywood talent? I want in on this."

Dapper Dan posted:The Witcher 3 has the best facial animations I have ever seen. It literally beats the ever-living poo poo out of whatever Croberts cooked up. The top of Gary Oldman's face is loving frozen like he's had five facelifts and a canister of botox injected into it. Amazing direction, too. The "buddy" scene was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen in a game.

Which part convinced you, the 20 minutes of three people walking and nothing happening, the part where they didn't fight any other players, or the part where their cutting-edge equipment was lagging out simulating a battle between two ships?

I said come in! posted:That game gets updated weekly and a huge portion of it is playable, but it is in alpha and pretty rough right now but still far more complete then Star Citizen is. At least it is playable, yeah. Adventure Pigeon posted:Amazing direction, too. The "buddy" scene was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen in a game. Yup. People are thinking Squadron 42 is going to revolutionize gaming are just loving deluded beyond all hope.

Alexander DeLarge posted:Space exploration + decent flight/combat model+ on ground combat + planetside content all coming together You are joking, right? Decent flight model? They flew in straight lines and docked. Their 'combat' were blips and consisted of 30 seconds of a 3 hour presentation when that is the whole point of the game. Their universe is a flash map with no evidence of anything but hopes and dreams. Their 'ground combat' was two minutes of him running around shooting at barely anything with still no cross-hair on the screen. The fight somehow ended magically when they cut out of it and that's all you saw. And gameplay was less than a third of a three hour con, when most of it was walking down corridors and flying in a lifeless void. Not to mention there was lag and chugging when run on their best hardware. It is not even close to being put on a normal PC, whatever it is. More was shown about Robert's awful CGI movie than what you are actually doing in game.They have missed every single deadline. Every one. They have broken every promise they have made. Everything is coming out 'sometime soon'. Their big update was animated clouds and two new guns and respawn when you die. This is after three years and 90 million dollars. You go to E3 with this after 3 years and 90 million, you get loving laughed at. Dapper Dan fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Oct 12, 2015 |

This is going to sound like a nitpick, but why is Gary Oldman giving that speech? Someone posted Churchill's speech that's Roberts is cribbing from but he forgot that Churchill is a politician. Military personnel rarely speak to a legislative body like that unless they're in a military dictatorship. I know here, in the United States, we've had speeches from military leaders in joint sessions of Congress, but, in our 300 years, they were never really during a war (although Eisenhower's speech on June 18th, 1945 might still count, but he was called by Congress to describe how well the Allies kicked the Nazis' asses) and are really only there to announce major organizational changes (such as Eisenhower announcing the creation of NATO and Gen. MacArthur's "old soldiers never die, they fade away" resignation). The "call to arms" cries are always from politicians, because, you know, civilian control of the military. Like I said, it's a nitpick, but I guess, since this is Roberts' baby, it gives us some insight in how his mind works.

No Mods No Masters posted:[Citation needed] Well, I mean it's true in my game which takes place in dense environments consisting of nature/urban environments, so I'd imagine space with a couple satellite arrays and space stations made out of prefabs would be even cheaper. The planetside content is what I'm skeptical of, but they're even building that modularly and that brings down costs a ton.

How much money do you have invested at this point? The window on refunds is going to be shut pretty soon. You can always repurchase the game if things somehow turn around...

I haven't played it, but it sounds like the flight/combat model in the arena thing is pretty janky. You saw ground combat and Planetside content in all those cinematic's?

EDIT: Reading your link, and this is the dumbest justification I have ever seen. quote:Figuring out it's income is easy as it's plastered all over the website and pretty much the only thing the press talks about in regards to this game. Some good folks in the community wanting to keep up with their donations created the Crowdfunding Development Spreadsheet. Using this, and the belief that the best way to predict future growth is from past results, I wanted to find the yearly income as a baseline. So I measured from 1/1/2014 to 1/1/2015. In that period Star Citizen raised around $32,000,000. They're not selling a subscription service, so pulling a yearly income figure out of the air is completely dumb.
