From the article:

quote:

Anderson got out her phone to show me pictures of herself at work on the game. She was in some sort of hangar, mid–motion capture, wearing what looked to be a rudimentary Halloween costume — Ping-Pong balls stuck to Lycra, a helmet with dangling things that turned out to be tiny cameras. “Here I am, in this ridiculous getup, and the furniture’s made of plywood. There are like 45 cameras in the room,” she said. “To be in this suit, seriously saying ‘Abort mission!’ or whatever it is.” Anderson crumples into incredulous laughter.

:laffo: that's the only mention of the game, then she goes back to talking about real things :yarg:

I imagine after getting their little boners over Scully in their game, reading this will leave them hurt, torn, confused, as if touched about 6 inches away from your no-no spot becaue he can't really get any closer.

What's funny is the comments directed at Sandi they cling to don't ever disparage her simply for being a woman, unlike what was said about Liz Finnegan in that reddit post.

Granted some of the Sandi bashing is, like Lowtax said, not focusing on her actions as the CIG VP of Human Resources/Marketing/Customer Service/Hostess which are far more ripe for the mocking.

I really would love to know how much money has been flushed hiring the SQ42 actors + the mocap studios. Having absolutely no familiarity with the industry I'd guess it would be in the range of $20 million.

Sure. It's semantics and wordplay. The main issue is that they're trying to hold it up as some kind of mark of distinction even though, if the exact same wordplay and semantic shift is applied to the supposed competition, SC doesn't really have those “extremely large expanses” that is supposed to make it special. Compared to the equally seamless EVE and E:D, it's positively tiny.

That doesn't preclude it from being trickery. It's just the standard, sane, sensible bit of behind-the-scenes trickery all games use because simulating arms and legs would be, not just massive detail overkill, but ponderous and utterly unplayable.

It's trickery the same way as using a matte painting of a mountain rather than a real mountain is a bit of movie trickery. Everyone does it exactly because it's trickery — because moving the whole production to the foot of the mountain would in most cases be very stupid. It's still trickery.

Yeah but in this case Chris Roberts justified the cost of his film with the fact that he was shooting everything on location and Sandi is now trying to pass a very poorly done matte painting of Everest as the real deal and pointing out how if you had 15/15 vision you could even see a penguin jumping from a rock to another.

I know this is the thread for the greatest space sim.....wait no sorry, greatest video game ever made but somebody mentioned "Angels Fall First" earlier. It sadly will flop because nobody's playing it but that did get me thinking about the other attempt at a big space game supposedly coming out in the near future. Battlescape: Infinity. Does it seem to have any of the pie-in-the-sky ridiculousness that SC does or could it actually be something to keep an eye on?

Modern military decorum wouldn't be identical to that of what's used in the 2900s.
