The first 30 seconds kinda sums up the whole vid.

They can't even get ships to work right as non-moving objects in the hanger.

It's one of the few ship designs in the game I actually like but holy poo poo it's just a pile of broken jank they're charging hundreds of actual dollars for.

Can't wait to see how bad they gently caress the PTU since even a few starfarers causes the server to poo poo itself.

I love the the more CIG releases the worse it looks. Not only does the game run shittier than last year everything they crap out just shows the complete lack of creativity or talent from Croberts and crew.

Blatantly rip off better franchises, show no ideas or innovation about how things might work hundreds of years from now, quality that would be embarrassing for tiny studios to release in a fraction of the time.

Star Marine is worse than what Ilfonic showed in basically every possible way.

Polished games like Infinite Warfare and ME:Andromeda are being released and all CIG has for their magnum opus, Due November 2014, is this lovely hanger scene .

That reddit thread was great. I love how they still think real developers hit the same problems CIG does, just behind closed doors.

I have never worked on a project that is anything like Star Citizen and thank god for that.

Dear reddit lurkers, Croberts is a talentless hack that missed nearly two decades of industry advancements and best practices yet micromanages his company like he has any loving clue. Literally everything CIG does is done the wrong way and they're working backwards. There is not a single serious studio in the world that would be redoing art assets 3, 4, or 5 times in alpha while still nailing down documents and missing effectively every core feature.

Since Chris does not know modern coding, or design, or how to lead all he does is focus on fidelity but no matter how many polygons you try and fill that gameplay hole with it won't be enough.



But please continue to pledge often and in large amounts, I don't want the show to end.

Man I love that a year after launching their so called Alpha, all CIG have managed to add is a couple of ships, the ability to buy pants and one new space-station. The Alpha still doesn't even have one star system and they haven't been able to do monthly patches as they said they would at the start of the year.

Well, you see with all the background work on pipelines, items 2.0, persistence, and everything else content should start coming out much faster.

Still no response from CIG on how much they're going to offer, which Ray said they would do yesterday.

The date he gave was just an estimation and not a promise. CIG was just being overly optimistic about their ability to do basic math in your account and you need to be more patient.

They can't fail a deadline when all they have to do is update the fake schedule before release.

Then when they do release it will be right on time and just when the schedule said it would be.

hello, some of this is prob rehashed

  • 2017 is now looking like the last full operational year for CIG (*from the perspective of 2 people who recently left)
  • several office/staff moves (including the Brno move, disco lando, ben, etc) are still planned
  • roberts joked at one point "the cheap labor must flow"
  • the "must deliver" deadline is still march/q1 of 2017 for the sqlude
  • might be much less than what was planned to be released (think less than an hour of story content, highly repetitive missions to pad playtime, grind, etc)
  • sqlude will include the new footage shot earlier this year of hamill
  • direction/management are being shuffled around, some people with no experience are now in charge of dozens of employees
  • several employees and execs are now gone, including cashing out on promised bonuses or other monies when they left
  • motion capture problems include missing payments to studios where work was done (backend, most likely)
  • "If [we] didn't have money in the tank for refunds, delay. Delay, delay, delay. Promise, then delay. That was standard, yes."
  • had to cut one or several major characters from SQ42
  • additional mocap is required "to have the story make any sense" thanks to "constant" changes to the script
  • entire maps, levels, mocap, VA, music and SFX have been thrown out, reworked and thrown out again
  • what was promised for 2.6, especially networking, won't be in until late Jan/Feb 2017 at the earliest (maybe midyear)
  • 3.0 networking is a massive, complete mess and won't be anywhere ready for 2017
  • "They are walking the design back on a massive scale. Try and get a refund."
  • ^^ moma that one is for you because the guy who said it, lol, just lol
  • crunch time has continued now for over six months, some people over a year
if you're in this project for anything over $40, get a refund. get a refund like now. after 2.6 releases to the PU you're going to have a hard drat time getting anything back unless you pledged for the SQ42 package only

Oh Santa, you're early!
