I just loving love the idea of all these idiots scoffing at the idea of Elite Dangerous so they can talk on a forum instead. It's got like 50% of what they want already!

Can you imagine how much money they would have made if they hired Olivia Munn instead of Olivia Munn on meth? 150 mill easy. Also can you imagine being on of the guys who programmed the Crytek engine having to look at Roberts' code vomit that he puts out nightly?

I thought the real issue was that they're trying to implement physics inside the ship instead of handwaving inertial dampers or whatever magic would keep people from rocketing across the ship. And that's why the ships keep on loving up.

So I'm assuming that Illfonic had a bad contract that gave them a completion bonus and didn't have a good buyout clause. It would make sense they were booted out of making Star Marine so that CIG could save money and salvage what was left. The statement they put on their webpage about the project was not even thinly veiled.

Berious posted:Once Frontier get multicrew working I'd say Elite would have most of SCs unique selling points actually working. Apart from the most pie in the sky stuff like space research ships, mixing drinks and molestation. Yeah. It looks like No Man's Sky might actually end up being entertaining for 30-40 hours. I still want to give Elite a chance since everyone else has supported it through its most boring moments, by the time I get my desktop built I think it'll be a lot of fun.

Hav posted:There's some argument that the engines matured during the 'development' of SC, but considering that they'd settled on cryengine before CRoberts started agreeing with every half-arsed wishlist item. Fundamentally the issue is that you have to heavily modify frameworks to do what you want if the feature that you want doesn't already exist, and even after Crytek offering a hand, they still don't have a physics engine worth a drat. As far as fidelity, my favorite thing is the door that they passed off as part of a corridor because they didn't feel like making a proper model. Now that I think about it, cheap jury rigged space ships like something out of Mad Max in space would have made for an interesting faction design. Not Mass Effect but blander.

Tippis posted:UE4 seems capable enough at this point. There are local physics plugins and middleware, and every version of UE has had some kind of reasonably competent vehicle-based game come out of it. Hell, if they could have been satisfied with cheating it, UnrealEngine 1-style portals could have been used to create the seamless feel they're going for. Actually that would have been a brilliant solution, portals that only allow objects coated with a certain substance to pass through so suits, cargo containers, etc. could instantly transport outside and you wouldn't have to worry about air locks. You could also make a few giant ones and handwave them away as prohibitively expensive to make in a large scale so you could use them in hub locations to move ships.

Why do spaceships need a runway, why do none of those people have spacesuits in their spaceships, why is there gravity on the outside of the spaceship.

So do you just target one shield generator subsystem or do you have to hit 6? It might be easier to just EVA and hijack the ship since I'm assuming they haven't engineered shields to detect player characters yet. Edit: Actually if they did and it launched you I would probably buy the game in 3 years after Gearbox comes in to rush it out the door.

I'm just saying, if shields deflected players and you could knock people off landing pads like ping pong paddles or wait for them to eject and then ram them and send them flying it would be a core gameplay mechanic that could sustain me for weeks.

It's gonna be hilarious if they ever try to implement any sort of physics based flight model like that. Because you know it's not going to be a gradual atmosphere, it's going to be 0-100 once ships cross the threshold and they're going to crash hilariously.
