The other is a game development company that has touted their open approach to design and community , allowing unprecedented access and farrrrrtttttttttt

Yeah, lethality is at the stage where he can see that the project is full of lies and bullshit but still trusts CR. Kinda like where Beer was around 2 years ago.

a lot of these guys will be absolutely devastated when 3.0 drops. you'll start seeing the absolute faithful put in for refunds

it's going to be glorious when they turn on each other

i know i complain most of the time when you do this but literally nothing else is happening so go hog wild

Unironically name something good that has happened for Star Citizen.

Think again. If Chris hadn't "expanded the scope" you might have a videogame to play right now.

Sabreseven posted:

To normal men and women, 3.0 is just another patch. To the faithful however, it represents much more than just a series of fixes, it's their validation, their saviour, their justification in kneeling to their mush mouthed spendthrift thumb-lord and it's also their sole bullet to throw at anyone who casts doubt on their 'game'. (I say throw because CIG brand gunpowder just glitches out of the side of the cartridge and through the map, rendering the projectile completely lacking in combustable propellant)

You come on too strong Surface. Your first post would have been enough to get plenty of reactions.

Virtual Captain posted:

Probably easier to talk about what it won't have

Most certainly won't have:
The entire Stanton system like Chris said it would
Immersive landing pad and traffic control from NPCs
Basic mining
Bounty hunting board

I really don't expect to see:
A full planet/moon you can walk for days around because can never be done Lumberyard. But let's pretend it is in there, are they going to fill it with random outposts or just leave 90% of it as blank terrain?

Maybe if CIG has been super busy we'll see:
Some basic cargo system, but any trading profession would be boring because there is no supply/demand for materials.

What I expect:
Stationary NPC(s) that give some generic fetch quests.
Seamless landing will either work or they will delay until it does. Derek says Chris is arrogant enough to release it without, but that could spell financial suicide imo.
Moon station as a separate game-mode seems doable by the current interns, and Chris may say the seemless landing was not polished enough for 3.0

Is there any indication that SQ42 has had any work done on the actual game part of it? Is all that's ever been released some mo-cap shots, Morrow tour and the canteen / hangar poo poo?

AbstractNapper posted:

Any SQ42 work (including custscenes, and fake gameplay) seems to be mostly re-purposed to be as part for the demos in their 'Cons or ship promos.

Does anyone remember that animation video they showed in the last CitCon, with commentary about a war and resistance and poo poo, which almost everyone thought it was a trailer for SQ42, until it was revealed to be a concept ship promo at its end?

guys, listen to yourselves lol

D_Smart posted:

Except that the fallout is going to be worse.





Also remember that the Amazon guys are all gamers and engineers. So it's highly unlikely that they're not going to see the train-wreck for what it is, then put their reps and livelihood on the line. For croberts. <--- LOL!!


Well, when sources tell me not to divulge something, I don't. I only Tweeted this one because there is a story in the works that's going to make it public anyway. So I wanted to get in front of it just so I can come here and yell TOTALLY CALLED IT at some point down the road


I don't know about you, but most of us WANT it to fail. Because, you know, lols, pay back, vindication and all that stuff. Nobody gives a poo poo if it was inevitable or not. Plus, I TOTALLY CALLED IT!!! :grin"

D_Smart posted:

Wot? Back in the now infamous "July Blog", I called it a loving scam, that they could never build that game as pitched etc. So there. :allears"

ps: Why so aggressive? Call your parents, and tell them you love them.

why the gently caress would you care about or want to collide atoms on your spaceship

No dice , Ben already purchased all the rights to the wing commander franchise

Then he gave it all away to the wing commander museum

Actually gently caress. Anyone remember he actually did give some museum a bunch of wing commander trash ? I wish I was joking

The Ben lesnick memorial archive or some poo poo

the best is going to see the broken and unplayable mess of 3.0 on the demo stations at gamescon

I don't even think they'll have them there and will just have a shitload of streamers playing star marine or something lol

if 3.0 is just some smoke and mirrors gamescon demo and backers don't actually get 3.0 in the next six months I'm going to lol

I'm going to loving lol so goddamn hard

Jesus Christ I never looked up Mark Abent before, but I wanted to see what the Senior Gameplay Programmer at CIG has done in the past.

Mark Abent has worked on the following released titles (credited):

• Black Mesa

That's it. He was a programmer for the Black Mesa mod. That's his only released game. What the gently caress.

The Senior Gameplay Programmer for one of the most ambitious and costly games in history has a single released title, and it's for a goddamn mod. What. The. gently caress.

Tbf he didn't fleece people

That I know of

A part of me is glad half life modding had an era of quote unquote purity but the other half wonders how much more could have gotten done with the incentive of cash flow

TheAgent posted:

right now their servers probably only have maybe a hundred or two hundred people online at any given time. when 3.0 hits its going to be a mad loving rush to play and every goddamn thing, from authentication servers to world servers to the coffee machine, are going to start melting down

people are going to see single digit frame rates, crashes, but the best, the loving best

is going to be their pretty, pretty ships that have all been reworked and changed again. that is what's going to cause people to flip right the gently caress out

its going to be fantastic

that doesn't count the PU, which is where I'm assuming most players are
