Mr.PayDay posted:Nice, CIG is hiring. That seems like an awful lot of important people to be hiring this late in the game 19 from Engineering? 16 Art types? That's all they produce is art work, and they need MORE? I guess either so many are leaving they can't replace them fast enough,or Crobberts wont be happy until he has 500 people under his will and whim

Why would the super special evocati have their own forums and discord etc , when they're all on the spectrum anyways ? It's almost like none of this exists in a usable format and never will

So in that atv video the one guy was talking about 'we just recently shot more animations' just how long has Crobberts been camped out at the mocap studio for ? Wasn't that the place that was like hundreds of dollars a second to shoot anything ? It seems like they've been shooting mocap for literally a year or more straight If sq42 ever comes out its going to be like a FMV game from the 90s isn't it ? Click on an npc and watch as it switches from in game to movie of the actor going through the lines God drat I am angry at this specific video game Blue On Blue fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Dec 9, 2016 |

XK posted:This is what I've been predicting. There's no way you could use that much specific scene oriented mocap without locking the scene into a prescripted play of actions. The guy mocapped mopping could be background poo poo, but the mocap of multiple people moving around, talking, and interacting with each other could only feasibly be some kind of cutscene. There's also stuff like the mocap of soldiers carefully stacking up at a doorway to prepare for entry. What if the player just runs right through? Has to be a fully controlled scene. Even If the game locks you into a cutscene it would take someone all of 2 minutes to figure out a way around it , console tricks and what not Remember back in the day when you could go online and download no-cd cracks and patches to disable all the start up videos for a game ? And it will make Crobbers absolutely furious that someone would alter his magnum opus vision, I hope the cameras are rolling when the first cut scenes skipper is shown to him

XK posted:You could usually skip those start up videos by just deleting the video file. Skipping in engine cutscenes is another thing entirely. Yeah usually the patch just changed the .mov file name to something else so the game wouldn't load it But no sense is debating this small point , as we don't have to worry about any of that for another 1-2 years at least

Tippis posted:But remember! Animation blending of skeletal animations is a completely revolutionary technique that hasn't been done before so we can finally get out from under the yoke of having completely stiff models rattle around the hangar in response to forces that won't affect the player. *random npc walks past the player and straight into the wall, his arm gets stuck and he jitters off into space at 5,000mph*

Kosumo posted:So, how would it been seen if you where to try to help CiG by running as many hacks/aimbots/cheats as you could while playing Star Marine (pre-alpha) so as to help them get on top of these early before they become a problem. http://wallhax.com/hacks/star-citizen-hack/ Also lol https://forum.aimjunkies.com/f32/hack-star-citizen-87904/

XK posted:Spend several dollars to wreck everyone, or spend several hundred to get a piece of poo poo space ship. I guarantee CIG is nowhere near being capable of having any kind of anti-cheat technology in place, and it's likely on the priority list just before custom servers. I doubt they even have the employee talent to do anything about high level cheating involving network sniffing or code injection. You're probably very much correct, considering the amount of leaks they've had due to insecure network protocols and URLs And plus cryengine is such a mature engine at this point there has to be 100s of different ways to hack it up , being no one ever used it as a serious competitive fps before no one will give a poo poo about keeping it secure either.

TheAgent posted:fyi my car cost sub 50k and I consider that a luxury car There are two levels of thought here. I've had the privilege to know some wealthy people, and learned a few things; Being able to buy a 500k car, and being able to afford one are two different things. It's no different than driving through a neighbourhood and seeing everyone in 100k Range Rovers parked infront of their 5mil$ house, chances are they have multiple credit cards, and a huge mortgage LOTS of people can buy a 500k car (especially when we're talking LA) The truly rich would buy a 500k car and add it to their collection, their wealth management company would cut a draft to the dealership. Crobbers walks in like a big shot and leases (he seems like the type to lease) that car, knowing he could never comfortably afford to out right buy it, as the space ship sales could end at any moment How many times a week do you hear of 'Insert Rapper' whoever having their lambo reposed because they over spent and are no flat broke, everyone spends when the cash is rolling in never thinking about what happens when it stops

Skellybones posted:What makes a $500,000 car ten times better than a $50,000 one? Like where do the costs go, does the chassis use iridium alloys or something? Endangered species hides for seat covers? In the case of a car like a Porsche, it will be tuned and outfitted like the track variant, but intended for super rich yuppies to buy to live out their racing dreams on the commute to work, stop light to stop light. Debating the semantics of how rich people spend money is kind of silly though, considering Chris is still in the 'I have money, but I'm still a pleb' class of citizen, he drives himself to work? What a chump

Madcosby posted:Star Citizen Squadron 42 promises to be as tough and exciting as the whole game. To begin with, it is going to be a sandbox with numerous opportunities. You can create your own character, your own vehicles as well as your own weapons. Use of CryEngine means that we are going to see exceptionally beautiful scenery along with good physics. So traveling through space is supposed to be a thrilling experience. This game focuses more on battles with those aliens that want war. Nevertheless you still can develop diplomatic relations with peaceful races. The main advantage is that you have an opportunity to play it with access to the Internet and share your achievements later with the rest of the world. It's like someone put the actual text through a translator a few times and then dumped it on the page Very strange

DogonCrook posted:In Texas if it is found that the violation is willful the state consumer protections board can open an investigation and is not required to notify the person. Potential remedies are fines of 20k per violation and the person or business can be barred from conducting business in the state. There are a hell of a lot of reasons to be scared of this law, and all you really have to do to stay clear of it is not loving lie. This is what should be happening, citizens from each state should be filing complaints against cig for their sleezy and deceptive business practices Hilarity would ensue for they got barred from conducting business in any state , let's see them weasel out of that with their horrible track record of deleting tickets etc

The simple fact that they raked in literal boat loads of cash under one version of a TOS And then changed to a new TOS which specifically handcuffs people from getting a refund (or so CiG thinks) should be more than enough incentive to get any number of federal agencies interested Sure companies change their TOS all the time , but it would be like Apple suddenly slipping in 'if you try to get a refund for a song , we automatically have claim on your house' into the latest iTunes update I honestly think no one bothered giving a poo poo before because lol stupid video game nerds , but $100 million plus raises a lot of questions in the real world

Cig pays wolf to promote their game in which he receives free ships , then he gives those ships away and acts like everyone's personal Jesus, then asks for more donations so he can gift more free ships This guy is worse than Crobbers in that he is actively aware of what he's doing , while Cribblers has been in a cocaine coma for the past 5 years
