The Kins posted:Crytek has its own colossal share of problems, that, while there is some intermeshing of the two, are largely independent of CIG's. I suspect the Amazon partnership is in part because of Crytek being expected to keel over at any given moment. There's no "partnership" here: a year ago someone went to the GameLift tab in the AWS console and clicked "get started". I would recommend anyone with an Amazon account does the same. Head over to the console and see how quickly you can get something up and running. You can even start servers in Europe and Asia with a couple of clicks! You'd better do things in the AWS way though, if you try and do a lot of custom or non-standard stuff you're going to be constantly fighting the platform. If CIG really have done stupid poo poo like change the precision of the positioning code there is zero chance they're going to be able to just patch it into the Lumberyard code and have everything else just work.

scrubs season six posted:Doesn't regional servers in this case consist mostly of them sending an email to Amazon saying "hey, put our poo poo on your hardware in a few different locations"? There's no email. Unless they're spinning up thousands of instances, it's likely no human being will ever know. If you already have an Amazon account, you too could be launching servers in Australia in minutes! The only reason they've "solved the problem" of Australian servers is that Amazon launched a region in Sydney. Before that Singapore would have been the closest.

This is the first of these I've actually watched and holy poo poo this company is broken, Trying to reproduce ship bugs in the same fake manufacturer, and between the other fake manufacturers in case.... they have a fake common design flaw... in their fake design offices? what? These devs all know this is bullshit. I've seen that look before wrist computer is the worst loving ux can't wait to get it into player's hands! every eight months or so! not cheating in this video to achieve the same loving visual effect im loving dead

juggalo baby coffin posted:uuuh what tech have they actually built though? they're just using cryengine, badly. This is what stands out to me as well. There's all this talk about incredible advances, huge leaps forward, but to someone who knows nothing of game development they don't seem to doing anything you couldn't do in CryEngine hacked to support 64 bit positioning. People that do know, is there anything else there? The stuff that will be genuinely groundbreaking, like dynamically partitioning players and physics simulations based on moment-to-moment load calculations, they appear to have done literally nothing on. A $175 million prototype-in-production.

G0RF posted:But let’s say that that you want to go to the moon Cellin, and it’s on the other side of Crusader from you. You obviously can’t fly a straight line from Port Olisar to Cellin without crashing into Crusader. Wait, what? Is there an invisible planet you have to navigate around? It is just on the space sky box? Is there a magic "planet TBA" exclusion zone? What does this even mean?????

shrach posted:Foundry 42 Ltd has independently audited figures for employees and their payroll. There's no way they are doing anything dodgy with their payroll/paye. Their staff has consistently grown. Interesting. I wonder where they are they are then. I find it incredibly hard to believe they're in Wilmslow, I know Wilmslow. It's a nice enough market town some distance outside Manchester. Start here and keep zooming out. This is not a vibrant tech hub.
