Something I've been wondering about :
What was their reason they gave for choosing CryEngine?

Chris at that time thought beautiful pictures trumps scalability and I think he still believes that till now.

I think it was the opposite, Crytek was the one who gave them a reason.

he created a prototype, showed it to crytek..maybe some few cocaine sessions crytek decided to lend their thralls to him to further develop jpegs

They didn't give one. But since it was 2011, and given that CryEngine was capable of some drat fine pretty pictures, my guess is that's why.

No they promised CR people from crytek to help him on his game/prototype. That is why former CIG Dan Tracy is there together with that German dude. In which later on Chris poached them right under from crytek's nose

Of course Ben is stress eating. Even if this game ever comes out he will never be able to experience it like others will. The super fan won't be able to keep up with the plebs, he will be unqualified to judge the game's true beauty because... have you ever tried VR with only 1 good eye?

I've worked with someone like Ben before - I suspect he's not a bad guy, he's just too drat invested emotionally in this project - and being told by his hero how great he is and how much he's contributing - that he just doesn't have any perspective on how completely hosed the whole situation is.

Are like any of the people who spent thousands and thousands of dollars on space ships super pissed off if they didn't get an invite to play the 2.0 PTU?

How about that guy who spent what was it $55,000.00... did he get an invite? How about Wulge?

I got an invite and I am pissed that they should rename the game to Crash Citizen because all I get are crashes.

those who did not receive the invite should be thankful.

Question: Can't you steal ships? So what happens when the person whose ship you have stolen logs out crashes to desktop?

Yes you can steal ships and that ship will be marked as stolen. The ship is yours and will not matter if the owner logs out or have an epilepsy.

In my opinion, now as an outsider, the trouble CIG is going to have in the next year is as follows:


3) Squadron 42 Ep1 Release: This is the litmus test, the make or break deal. If core physics and gameplay haven't been hammered out by this point, or if SQ42 slips another year due to "technical difficulties and blockers", then the writing is on the wall as far as product health. Any delay will probably be met with "well, film some more mocap" filler waste to appear productive.




CIG has stated that flight models and related stuffs will not be final in Squadron 42, that is one of the things that pissed me off.

SQ42 will be a good enough kinda thing because they say it is a single player and no balancing needed.

When the game releases probably in late 2016 along with my 5 other ships. Not all a once of course that'd be silly.

Even if you have faith that the game will be good, if you're in the hole for anything other than the absolute bare minimum, get a refund. You can always buy the full release for $40 or whatever in three years when it's out, popular and bug free.


If buying in at $40 ends up being a substantially worse experience as a player than having a $3000 pirate racing fleet, then the game is a failure on a fundamental level and not something you should want to be involved with anyway, because that would make it a lovely, cynical pay-to-win scam.

that kind of logic will not penetrate the 14 inch think tinfoil helmet of those white knights
