Virtual Captain posted:There's no way they aren't already working on another bullshot. Since they don't need a separate one for Gamescom it'll probably be quite impressive to the faithful. They will have a really impressive demo, with 2 sandworms, and it will be announced that both SC and SQ42 are just around the corner, release immenent. Then there will be some sort of excuse how they won't be released due to something needing refactoring, and Chris has just had another amazing idea that will set back development another year, but it will have so much more fidelity because of it.

G0RF posted:They had the not a joke Sandworm at CitCon 2016 and Blade Runner Arccorp meets Coruscant at CitCon 2017. Without a Gamescom event and nearing the end of yet another year of deflating hopes, Chris has no choice but to drop massive space pornage this year. This is their biggest rental venue ever, the out of town (out of country) audience attending will have been hugely inconvenienced for the chance to attend and they are counting on Chris to dazzle them like maybe never before this year. Well, they sold those land claim thingys, so makes sense they will start to milk people for buildings to go on their land. $100 for a toilet perhaps?

MedicineHut posted:Apologies for sidestepping your overall great and awesome post but... Why on Earth do ships have to absofuckinglutly QT navigate from nav point to nav point in the first place? and in straight lines? And why is speed capped? Why can’t CIG just allow player full QT navigation and speed control ED supercruise style? Because as long as its different to ED they can claim its better. Copying ED is definitely a no-no. That's why mining is going to be so stupidly complicated, because ED already took the simple shoot rock, collect stuff mechanic. So CIG have to add loads of complicated progress bars to make it more fidelitious.

Grubby Hobo posted:Burning with curiosity about the goings-on at the Whale Dinner More likely backers turn up, get told that CIG did a forum poll asking if the scope of the dinner should be expanded (which wouldn't affect delivery of the dinner!), and backers of the dinner said it should be expanded. Unfortunately, this means the dinner is delayed, but while they are waiting they can pre-order extra courses for just a few hundred dollars each.

My response to that would be along the lines of, if they don't have lots of money in reserve at this point (unlikely) and the game is only 15% done, it means they need in the region of a billion to make the game as promised.

Oh my, on that stream one of the guys says about the new ship: Its good, we will need something to transport tanks and armies across the galaxy. I'm like, what loving armies? Who the gently caress is going to be part of an army sitting on your ship going where and for what reason? The dreamcrafting is insane.

EightAce posted:Hilarious new glass door review . Indeed it does. Caught up on the last half a dozen, only seems to be a couple of marketing made ones in there, the others seem genuine. However, you have to take sites like glassdoor with a pinch of salt. People are always more likely to leave a negative review than a positive one. Having said that, some of the comments do align with our own impressions of how CIG is run. The ones about how CIG management should stop the nepotism and stop hiring their old buddies from the past who have no understanding of modern development methodolgies certainly rings a bell.

So, Star Citizen tracker currently has the development at 18% (of major systems) developed. Funds raised = 184,964,599 (if we accept this is in any way accurate). Assuming they don't have much in the way of a war chest (suspicion: constant sales, changes to purchases, no LTI, etc), this puts the full cost of development of Star Citizen and SQ42 at: $1,027,000,000. Ok, ok, i know, linear extrapolation for this sort of thing isn't reliable. We all know when CIG finish the pipelines things will just zoom along! /s

You know what I would like to see? No? Well, gently caress you, i'll tell you anyway. A poll! A poll of SC backers asking them what they want to do when SC is finally realeased, how they want to fly. A) In my own ship by myself B) As captain with other players as my crew C) As a crew member on someone else's ship I'm going out on a limb here, but i suspect the results would be something like this: A) 80% B) 19.9% C) 0.1% This of course might cause a problem for those wanting to command peons. Perhaps goons could make up the shortfall.

HycoCam posted:My first probation on the RSI forums came from this exact discussion. The suggestion back in 2014/2015 was many of the backers had wives/significant others that wouldn't be good pilots but would be excellent as crew members. I only pointed out it would be hard for them to be effective at crewing a spaceship because they were too busy making sandwiches. I believe the making sandwiches gameplay is currently being refactored.

I love ED and hope to play it for years, but sooner or later it will go into the pile of other loved games that i rarely play, and I still play other games regardless from time to time. Anyway, back to the grind... and no, i don't mean ED, i mean Fortnite: Save the World. Playing as a constructor i'm always needing a ton of crafting stuff to make decent bases.... that other players then screw up by building all around my carefully designed defenses... assholes.

The Titanic posted:I always love people who cite "exploration" as a reason for having procedural content. I've seen lots of procedural content in lots of games, and I'm afraid the one thing I don't feel as I'm sanding across some procedural land, is that sense of exploration. Ah, i remember when SC fans bashed ED for its use of procgen. Of course, this was back when SC was going to be 100% handcrafted, and handcrafted was the best thing possible... until CIG said it would use procgen, then procgen would be best. Regardless, 100 systems..... yeah, that's not really going to give much in the way of exploration, especially since QT is point to point, little chance of finding something new or interesting that hasn't been found by someone else within a day or two of launch... or even before CIG makes a 1.0.

Beet Wagon posted:It's not different in Elite: Dangerous. Exploring is insanely boring and most of the time involves pointing at a planet to scan it and then leaving. Occasionally you'll get out and drive your rover around, but Elite has one thing going for its exploration that Star Citizen doesn't - you're constantly reminded that you're in space. Well, you're not wrong in some ways, but as someone who has spent well over 1000 hours exploring in ED, and with the greatest possible respect, gently caress you buddy.
