Yet still too cheap to hire a proper support staff because they're happy with taking weeks or longer to solve backer problems. Kinda makes you think these people don't give a crap about anybody but themselves, don't it?

I kinda hope they crash and burn on this, the assets get picked up by a better developer, and it gets released way down-scaled and ran by a competent team. Thats honestly the best case

I dunno. I paid 35 bucks for alien isolation, tomb raider, and star citizen. so that's.. 11.66 bucks. Plus it came with a flying AMD billboard of a ship you can't get anymore that's APPARENTLY worth 55 bucks even without game access. So poo poo! I'm already in the black!  Still runs like garbage though.

There's a lot of cut corners on the Vanguard too, the newest hangar-ready ship. If you can stomach the  for a couple minutes this guy shows a lot of the missing detail.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxZfEV6CejI Like two-thirds of the interior including the full cockpit setup is just reused Retaliator assets, and half the exterior appears like they just ported over the website model. Keep in mind they're now selling a whole other ship, the Sabre, that is basically reusing the exterior assets of the Vanguard. Seems a bit suspicious.

I really doubt the assets are even worth picking up at this stage. Spaceship design is a dime a dozen, and the engine is super-garbo-useless. I suspect that at this stage, it would be quicker for someone to just start from scratch, and not have the bad smell of this rotting corpse following you around.

I was going to chime in to say this-Star Citizen as a brand doesn't have any worth beside "made by the guy who made Wing Commander and EDIT: Has there been the typical vitriol-filled response to the PC Gamer article yet?

Amarcarts posted:I'm the engine intakes and the laser that has barrels I get irrationally angry by those ship designs. With E:D the ships are at least streamlined or utilitarian, and they're easy on the eyes. SC's ships look ... overengineered. They don't know what they want them to be. And they're going for an airplane look except actual airplanes do not look like that. This is sci-fi. You don't need spaceships to look like airplanes when they fly down onto planets -- you can give them shields or some other gizmo that counteracts aerodynamic effects. Whatever, make it up. It goes back to that stubborn focus in which everything has to be needlessly complicated to be "realistic" but without any of it making sense within its own setting. When did they decide that the ship needed air intakes and the other ones didn't? Goddammit I'm so angry. What I'm saying is that I get irrationally angry about internet spaceships. Edit: I'm loving serious. But it's better to read this in a Plinkett voice. BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Nov 25, 2015 |
