Mr. Carlisle posted:For Roberts this is a best case scenario at this point right? Big bad Crytek comes in and kills his masterpiece and there's nothing he could do about it! So CIG goes under and he hands over all the broken half finished bullshit he's been squirting out to keep the millions rolling in and fucks off to some island somewhere with the personal wealth he's swindled while still being held up by his fanbase like some martyr once again hosed by an evil greedy publisher. If by best case scenario you mean he gets to be the new Denis Dyack, then yes. All he needs now is for one of his lead writers to end up being a kiddy diddler.

This poo poo makes me laugh pretty hard. To the cult, it’s amazing that Crobbers is being so open and detailed about development! Other coders wouldn’t dare spill the beans like this! He’s showing us how the magic works, amazing! To anyone not in the cult, especially with a little experience in software dev, it’s amazing that Crobbers is admitting all this poo poo in public. “Wait, wait, AI and object culling and general garbage collection are *on the list* after five years in development?

Cao Ni Ma posted:What gets me of the "Its alpha" excuse is that its done without anyone giving any critical thought about how long the alpha stage is going to last. It'll continue to be called alpha till every single gameplay element they've sold is actually in game to be tested. They just marketed a ship and gameplay element that will take years to implement, whose groundwork doesn't exist at all, years after they sold things like dedicated mining and salvaging ships that still dont have any ETA. There is no reason to believe that SC will be out of alpha till like 2020 assuming they dont run out of cash first (they will) It's in alpha, but it's also at 3.0. Totally normal.

D_Smart posted:Good job. Now you see why the "exclusive" language in the GLA 2.1.2 is critical because it is NOT standard language. It is a custom contract specifically tailored for CIG-Crytek. And so it has custom language that expresses the agreement of the parties: That CIG would exclusively use CryEngine in Star Citizen. So, question: Is there other context or precedent that rules out the interpretation of “CIG has a license that allows them to embed CryEngine in the Game, and not embed the engine into something else or subsequent products” for 2.1.2? A basic (and admittedly incomplete) reading of the GLA makes that seem more logical to me than either “you can only use this engine” or “only you can use this engine” based on the context. Section 2 seems to mostly be about their rights and limitations for sublicensing and re-use of the engine, and in that context it does seem like the meaning is “this license being granted is for Star Citizen and nothing else”.

D_Smart posted:The reason for the exclusive language is right there on the first 2 pages of the CryTek lawsuit. Isn’t that the same logic that leads to CIG’s countersuit being rock solid in the eyes of the true believers though? “It’s in the lawsuit, QED.” I think they have more problems here than just 2.1.2 and Crobbers is still screwed, but if that part gets contended in court I’m mostly curious how solid the wording is in that specific section.

nopantsjack posted:It's really embarassing when games treat models of women as like surplus chaff, superfluous extras it'd be nice to get around to. SC is far from the only one. So this is from a few pages back, but having actually played AC Unity I think they were completely reasonable in making this decision and handled the PR over it in a really boneheaded way. At the point they were at in development when people started asking about a playable lady character, I totally believe it would have been impossible to add, and the story they wrote just meant it wasn’t something they’d considered from the get go. Adding a female character model sounds like a generically easy task, but Unity actually has an insane gear and outfit system. There’s like, six or seven different armor categories like stealthy or plated or fancy, each with six or seven quality bumps and new models/textures for each, and every single piece of the wardrobe can be equipped individually like a hood from this set with this quality, legs from here, bracers from there, in these colors, etc. Like most of Unity, it’s completely unnecessary but extravagantly detailed. What they didn’t have time for was the huge effort that would have had to go into planning, designing, remaking, retexturing, re-rigging, and yes re-animating every piece of that clothing system (since tons of them had moving bits and bobs), then testing all of that to make sure that it didn’t break the game. They clearly kept that in mind for Syndicate and included Evie as playable from day one and reduced the complexity of the armor system, but it’s definitely one of those cases where their answer was completely oversimplified and yet absolutely reasonable given how game dev actually works.

nopantsjack posted:I understand it would have been a lot of work at that point, but at the end of the day they decided to make a man the main character of every single one of their mainline games apart from syndicate where she has to share the game with her brother so its not just lady times on the front cover. Totally agreed on all points. They’re definitely guilty of the core design of the game missing the mark, but when they put out that response it really was truly and seriously too late to go back in and make the change. And yeah, given the political climate at the time, AC1 was ballsy as hell in its choice of setting and protagonist.

Hav posted:You're consistently arresting and charging the wrong people for the 'Werewolf' and are never given the opportunity to arrest or even know about the real killer until the third act or so after Cole and Phelps move through the different departments. It's a story, but you're still on effectively a funhouse ride. Let’s not forget, the game was also sold on period accuracy and deep respect taken for the source materials and for the actual criminal cases and victims that were used as inspiration! Actually never mind gently caress historical accuracy or being respectful your character was involved in covering up the Black Dahlia murder. Not a similar fictional murder, the actual one. gently caress LA Noire.

Sarsapariller posted:Also, fun Warframe fact- the game began development in 2013 and the start-to-alpha launch only took them 9 months, because they were going to go bankrupt as a company if they took any longer. Warframe in its entirety has literally been around for less time than Star Citizen. Wasn’t a ton of the art from the failed original version of Dark Sector? That was in development and turning heads around the time Escape From Butcher Bay came out.

big nipples big life posted:The original pitch for dark sector was much closer to warframe, the publisher had them change it a ton. Yeah this is the one I mean. Like the space marine, the ship, the space ninja, it’s all here in basically the same form it was when Warframe launched, but maybe a decade earlier. Warframe was their “ok what have we got sitting around” project and they were lucky that it turned out pretty drat fun.

I'm always amazed at how the people who know the least boast the loudest about whatever their chosen tech - SC, Ouya, block chain, what have you - happens to be, and how hostile they are to reasoned dissenters. There was a fantastic Bitcoin related (I think) story like this about someone who was making a big deal out of analyzing every single line of code to proof the work, talking about how it was the best idea and they were going to get to the bottom of everything! Their first progress post was asking what “#include stdio.h” means.
