Swat team gets an emergency dispatch to an address in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Leader is visibly nervous while briefing his team en-route to the site: a semi-retired PhD has constructed a nuclear device, and is threatening to blow it up if the neighbour's kid doesn't stop riding the wheelchair over his wizard lawn. A squad member asks the leader "So what's the PhD's name?". The leader mumbles something barely audible. The SWAT van comes to a stop abruptly. The driver is staring at him. After a slight pause, he comments: "Right, you guys are on your own." He opens the door and leaves, during a storm of stern orders and insults from the swat team. As he's walking away from the van, it proceeds to drive off into the night. This was the last time anyone has heard anything of said swat team. All the records seem to have been lost, and both that night's dispatch worker and the van driver have gone missing. The only clue to the mistery is a saliva stained shred of paper with the barely legible letters "D..k..rt" on it.

Guys, guys, I figured out CIG time. They kept saying "two weeks", which is 14 days. Now, after 4 years of development, they're saying "around 10 days". Star Citizen is releasing November 2025.

CrazyTolradi posted:Give us some loving examples of why CIG having money in reserve is bad business practice, even if it's in German. German speaking goons can at least translate it for us. Otherwise you're just a walking joke, who refutes everything with "You are wrong because I say you are wrong." I don't disagree that having 94 million dollars "just lay around" is a bad idea, when you could be making interest off it, instead of having inflation slowly eat it up. At that kind of money, the difference between the two can easily be >10 million dollars in 3 years. Supposedly, they're spending money on the game, though, so

lovely game engine blurb: Today, it's easier to take a game engine, rip the "game" part out so you're only left with the renderer, and put your own game logic into it, than it is making an engine from scratch. 3D rendering has changed a lot from the late 90s/early 00s and it's literally impossible for someone to make a well performing render engine that looks good and is also capable of rendering a lot of complex geometry+effects in less than a couple years. It's why most games with in-house engines today are either technically demanding, but feature simple landscapes, or look just okay when doing something more complex. Making a rendering engine with dx11 is like walking a narrow path, with both sides of it being vertical cliffs. If you stay on the narrow path, your game will perform okay even when making a highly detailed world and having it look good. If you stray even a little, enjoy your shitshow. Therefore, you instead take unreal engine, unity or cryengine, rip out all the game logic the engine shipped with, and replace it with your own. It's still far less work doing that than making a 3d renderer that will both look good and perform well in your game that's supposed to feature "AAA" levels of detail and complexity. So, SC using cryengine didn't sound like a bad idea in 2011/12, when UE4 didn't yet exist and unity was still a joke engine for simplistic indie games. IIRC, it was the only "AAA grade" engine able to be licensed back then that didn't have a directx featureset several years out of date. Unfortunately for crobbits, you need more than just a good rendering engine to make a good game. Add the facts that since Unity 5 released, cryengine is the new comedy option engine and UE4 being better than cryengine at just about everything, plus 20/20 hindsight, and it makes it look even worse.

peter gabriel posted:Did uber nerd Carmack have an engine out back then? Carmack's Tech 5 is a really good engine, but 1) who the gently caress knows what kind of licensing deal you could even get since bethesda took over id, and more importantly, 2) Carmack makes game engines that play well. Today, that often means they won't look as good as something else, and can you imagine crobbits settling for something that doesn't look as good as it possibly can, and then some? It's the first difference someone who played a lot of id games notices when trying a cryengine game for the first time. There's absolutely no way to get rid of input lag on cryengine. In a quake game, you obviously ideally want as much FPS as possible for a smooth experience, but the game stays completely playable even when your FPS are in the teens, as controls stay just as responsive. In cryengine, going below 40-50 FPS can often make games unplayable and even at a stable 60 fps, you can feel the input lag. It's just there, constantly. In a quake game, moving the mouse 2 inches moves the crosshair by the exact same amount of degrees every single time. In cryengine, it's completely loving random, and the lower your frame rate, the worse it gets. It's absolutely horrendous.

Xaerael posted:What's the odds they'll cave in and switch engines eventually? They won't switch engines unless they're dumb. Cryengine renderer is still the best there is, or at least close to that, and it's not like they can use anything besides the renderer for the space part of the game anyway. This would also be true of UE4 or whatever other engine, so... As for FPS, it was going to be poo poo tier either way, and would be with any engine, but we knew that in 2012. It's a minigame inside a space game.

Cao Ni Ma posted:It took FFXIV like a year and a half to switch from one engine to another and it was going from a horrible proprietary engine that ran like poo poo and wasn't designed to be used at all on an MMO to one of the most efficient MMO engines in the market that can run on a toaster. This is true, and it shows *again*, how just taking good graphics comes 3rd behind making the game play good and good art direction. Technologically, FF14 graphics are pretty bad by even 2012 standards, but with proper art direction, it's easily one of the prettier MMOs out there.
