I still can't believe that people are falling for this video. Its nothing more then a badly done PG world with their Nyx mining base dumped into the middle of it. If you look at that video you can actually see the transition from the handcrafted Nyx base assets to the PG world. With the PG world being nothing more then a noise generated bump map.

yeah lol

the moon doesn't even load in until it cuts to them being loaded into the level instance (because the moon's just a skybox jpeg)

the terrain you can glimpse in the areas they don't go near is obvious jpeg crap

It might not look as good as people want but people seem to be saying that the high-detail to low-detail transition means this doesn't count as a planetary landing for some reason or I'm misunderstanding the argument

what we're getting at is that it's faked

it's not a planetary body in a seamless space, it's an instanced level with one big flat noisy terrain with a hand designed landing zone dumped in the middle, with an obvious skybox (look at the moon.jpg after loading in)

done specifically to make a slick video and create the (false) impression that planetary landing tech is coming along nicely, when the truth is that it's still a long ways away


they just rushed this out in an attempt to stay relevant with E:D, another space game that actually dropped playable planetary landings recently

Final Thoughts: Game is not really improving in terms of stability or jankiness, but they appear to be adding more content in the form of missions and ships. This isn't really worrying to me, because it's likely that the pipelines for tech fixes and the pipeline for content generation aren't really crossing paths that often. What does bother me is that the new poo poo seems to be broken in exactly the same way as the old poo poo, and that suggests that they are not learning from their mistakes. If every single goddamn ship is going to come out with clipping errors and physics grid issues.... well I'd like to make some kind of ultimatum, but it's not like assholes are going to stop handing them money. I guess keep doing what you're doing, CIG, it seems to be working out great for you (right up until the Feds come knocking).

it's a fundamental engine problem, that's why new stuff is broken the same as the old

their physics system is clearly hacky, inaccurate and full of jank

Piece from the Farticle :

A huge milestone towards achieving this goal was the release of Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 earlier this month, with the ability to play in a huge area (the biggest yet in gaming thanks to 64 bit floating point positional coordinates) and offering up all of these exciting options in that world: walking around a space station on foot or boarding a space ship by yourself or with friends… walk around that ship and/or have your friends man various stations while you are flying… fly thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kilometers, engage in ship to ship combat against AI or other players, exit your ship to EVA and explore space stations… engage in FPS combat (on foot or in EVA), rescue stranded players, perform various missions. All of this happens seamlessly without loading screens at a fidelity and scale that has not been seen before in any game.

Can someone confirm how much of this is true? And how much is carefully worded bs?

lol largest play area in gaming what a load of horse poo poo

There's nothing there other than a couple of allegations, and a whole bunch of weird poo poo about Sandi Gardiner - and nobody wants to touch anything that might be GG poop.

Come up with a concrete issue, or when one of them decides to 'revisit' their story, and you'll see a difference, but without a solid complaint it's a nerdfight, and at least one party in the nerdfight has history of this poo poo.

you realize there's a janky pile of poo poo they can log in to see that is woefully incomplete and way behind schedule

My suspicion about why Chris suddenly jumped up and said "SQ42 HAS TO COME OUT NOW" is because he knows he only has enough money to complete one part of his project, and SQ42 in the end is the simplest thing. In addition, it has his fucktarded script, his ridiculous mocap, and his wife's "acting" which he agreed to shove down the world's throat or she'd cut off what remains of his balls. It's basically his final attempt to produce something from the ashes.

Not sure how anyone can think the SQ42 code will be anything like what's in the PTU - they're completely different games, no matter what lies Chris told his followers. It's basically Wing Commander all over again, but worse.

actually all crobizzle wants to do is make his lovely movies, he's just using the insane promises of this "game" to fleece some dumb nerds

they'll dump out a piece of crap, with the bare minimums needed to avoid legal trouble, and find some way to monetize the hell out of it and if that fails to keep making them money they can shut it down and walk away

There once was a boy who was bored as he sat at his computer watching his secret star citizen facebook feed. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Star Citizen! Star Citizen! Star Citizen is here and doing great!"

The redditors came logging into the verse to help the boy crew his ship and play the game. But when they arrived at the launcher, they found no game. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'game', boy," said the redditors, "when there's no game!" They went grumbling back to /r/dereksmart.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Star Citizen! Star Citizen! Star Citizen is here and doing great!" To his naughty delight, he watched the redditors patching their launchers to help him play the game.

When the redditors saw no game they sternly said, "Save your praising song for when there is really something to play! Don't cry 'game' when there is NO game!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling back to /r/dereksmart once more.

Later, he died of old age, never having played Star Citizen because it never was a game.
