I see no reason to nitpick or disbelieve their claims that the integration of their stuff from Cryengine to Lumberyard went smoothly. By all accounts Lumberyard is just Cryengine + Amazon's networking stuff. If the majority of the stuff that Amazon added or changed was in the networking and the core & rendering stuff was left alone then yes, it should be easy for CIG to keep their changes and get it working while still using CIG's existing networking code & servers. If they said it didn't take a ton of time and it demonstrably happened then I think that we can take their word for it in this instance. I don't believe the "2 guys did it in 2 hours on their lunchbreak" part of their claim, 1-2 days is probably more reasonable. Also it is possible to twist and turn yourself in micro-gravity. You can't add any angular momentum but you can change your orientation. Chris Roberts was right in this instance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJcno_XL4RU&t=42s

Fatkraken posted:I thought the other guy (Lord British?) was saying yeah you could twist and change orientation but not change your overall position; ie, if floating stationary in the middle of a big roomChris thought you could shift your weight in such a way as to go in a particular direction and reach a wall, the other guy was telling him in no uncertain terms he was wrong and you'd just spin on the spot It's been a while since I've seen that. I had forgotten what was actually said and was going by the repeated consensus of this thread. You are right, Garriott specifically mentions being able to turn around like a cat but not changing your overall spin which Roberts is contesting. My bad.

TBH getting the engine free from Amazon/Lumberyard instead of having to pay future royalty + licensing fees to Crytek sounds like a good business reason for doing a fake switchover.

Midnight Voyager posted:It's almost like it's hard for women to be confrontational even when someone has crossed the hell out of a line in a society where a woman being confrontational is punished in a myriad of different ways. She probably let one thing go, thinking "They'll think I'm a bitch, and he's drunk anyway, it's just one thing." And then more and more things happened until she slow-boil-frogged into a spot where someone felt like they should physically throw his rear end out. The solution is to buy more Star Citizen starships.

I'm pretty sure that further interactions with the Thargoid ship will come through completing community goals to either develop a translation device or a module that will allow players to use the wake portals that the Thargoid ships open up. Someone tried flying through one of their portals but was pushed out. I wouldn't be surprised if all of the coded functionality for interaction with the ships/portals are already present in the game but the players currently don't have access to the ship modules necessary to initiate it.

Beet Wagon posted:Nope, the Prometheus was built by Weyland Corp before the merger with the Yutani Corporation. Nostromo was built afterwards. Besides that, Gateway Station (from Aliens) is cramped and lovely and built out of garbage, and that didn't even begin construction until after Ripley left Earth for the last time. A mobile refinery and a military space carrier are not going to look like a top of the line luxury research vessel just like the interior of a Tesla is not going to look like the interior of a UPS truck. Yet both those things co-exist side by side in our world and it doesn't break our minds trying to comprehend how we could have electric cars with high tech computers and have gasoline powered mail trucks on the same roads at the same time.

Including one of the games as the tutorial for the other is such a slam dunk case that every lawyer on earth would rocket into the stratosphere through the sheer amount of jizz they'd be uncontrollably spewing in anticipation of the case. Not even CIG is that dumb. I don't think you understand backers. They will gladly pay again and they will try to convince you that this is a Good Thing.

The greatest part is that if it is true and SQ42 as a standalone game thing is canceled then they don't have to release anything until the full Star Citizen multiplayer persistent universe is completed, which will be Any Day Now. You see, this is a good thing because it will give Chris Roberts the time he needs to polish up the singleplayer portion of the game and story to be even greater.

Beautiful. Spoiling unrelated Space Movies can get you banned from Star Citizen and all of your jpegs forcibly refunded. I think you've been one upped, Derek Smart. All you did was voice a negative opinion about SC on an unrelated website. This person failed to spoil a star wars movie on Discord.

Being careful and stealthy and having good positioning and awareness in PUBG will carry you much farther than just having mad fps shootin skills. Then you get to the top 2 and spray wildly in front of you like a panicked idiot and are unable to hit the other guy who is 2 feet away. I cri evrytiem. This is as opposed to Star Citizen, which is not a game that actually exists.

MilesK posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/5835j6/what_exactly_is_items_20/ Reddit posted:Nearly everything in the game will be an 'item' of some kind. To achieve the complexity, functionality, and efficient communication between items, they had to rip out the existing entity system in CryEngine, and replace it with their own one, designed specifically for the task of managing 'things' in the game. An item could be a rock, a jacket, a ship, a space station, a scope, a coffee mug.. you get the idea. An item has attributes, slots for other items, specific logic, and a set of actions relevant to the type of item it is. The item system must be able to represent, manage, and manipulate every type of thing in the game, and do it well. It must also handle all of this in beautiful harmony with the networking part of the engine (which is also being gutted and rebuilt because it cannot scale to the needs of an open universe). The system CryEngine comes with didn't meet the requirements, so they ditched it. Item 2.0 is in development and is supposed to partner perfectly with the new StarNetwork module. In the end, what this all means is better performing game code on a much larger scale. So it is basic core functionality that they turned into a buzzword and spent years not being able to implement.

I have an acquaintance , who is a volunteer firefighter and for some fest here they gathered a bunch of stuff (I think they've cleaned a river from fallen branches and such) and burned it down. The only thing I was thinking was - weren't the firefighters supposed to extinguish the fires and not start them? Sometimes you have to set things on fire to stop them from burning. It is very much like game development.

The amount of users who have legal binding contracts with Crytek and who have or are planning on switching to Lumberyard without resolving or renegotiating those contracts is probably so small (1) it's not even worth considering defending it on the basis that it will impact future users. Switching from CryEngine to Lumberyard is just one of the charges Crytek is making, there are other violations of the licensing agreement that they entered.

What I'm curious about is this claim that RSI "Bought out the Engine". Did RSI buy the complete engine and rights to it but Crytek is still holding them to the original terms of their GLA? What does RSI think they bought? Why doesn't Crytek think that they just flat out purchased the engine from them? Is RSI just talking out their asses or grossly mistaken about something and they never purchased the engine? (I believe that this is the most likely explanation)
