So Star Marine in "cancelled" then. IE, what you see is what you get, again.

No no, not at all - you see Chris explains it - it's not cancelled, it's just the opposite! It's actually finished! Millions of people are simply remembering it wrong! It's all very innocent, you see. Just a massive misunderstanding of a million people. Could happen to any company with development this open.

Yeah I skipped ahead. So now the narrative is that Star Marine was never going to actually be a thing - it was basically just shorthand for the fact that there'd be FPS in the game. Well, 2.1 has FPS, so Bingo! Star Marine delivered, promises met!

I specifically remember their site having a whole section on Star Marine so I went to check it out - amazingly enough, it's gone, and that part of the site was replaced with the push for SQ42.

Well that's good to hear, and I'm glad he corrected that.

It's too bad they couldn't get crosshairs working before they completely released the FPS huh. Oh well, maybe for the DLC.

Well, from my understanding they are still patching in the holographic doors, so after all the doors are done. Do you have a link to say the waybackmachine or something to the previous Star Marine pages?

...It's kinda funny, I have absolutely no idea what the actual FPS module was promising beyond guns in space. So your comment about stealthy stuff/fake holographs and poo poo, could easily have been promised and I'd have no idea

I've been trying to find those pages without luck. I can help you on the "stealthy stuff" though:

http://wccftech.com/star-citizen-fps-gameplay-lethal-call-duty-stealthy-stuff/

Also required reading:

http://www.pcgamer.com/inside-squadron-42-star-citizens-ambitious-singleplayer-campaign/#page-1

Pay special attention to the end of the article, after the PCGamer reviewer spends the whole thing gushing about how awesome it all is (SQ42, their "ambitious single-player campaign"), in the penultimate paragraph he admits that he didn't see a single piece of it. It was just described to him by a developer.

Flowers to start, maybe not every flower in a field of procedurally generated flowers (unless Bethesda ends up doing that and then GAME ON.)

But don't forget the hunting of procedurally generated alien life forms. You'll be bagging alien pelts, skins, teeth as well.

So, this is the first time I watch 10 for the chairman. Are you basically telling me that every freaking week Croberts gets in from of the camera and adds* months of extra promises to the content he is supposed to deliver? Holy poo poo!

*with the exception of star marine, which was only a side-project that they were making while they managed to put everything together and now that everything is together there is no need for it.

Edit: Hey, Beer, for this special occasion can't you make one of your recaps this poo poo?

Looking through these star marine updates, I don't know how I could have been so blinded that it was already released. For example:

"Where Star Marine differs from Arena Commander is that we’re not launching it in its most basic game. Instead, we’re trying for something more. It includes animation fidelity and attention to detail that you wouldn’t normally expect in an “alpha” gameplay module. There’s even an entire sci-fi sports game with zero-G movement fully simulated and animated in there! (And don’t worry, there’s traditional FPS action too… with some new ideas that aim to set Star Citizen apart from the crowd.)"

I mean, just look at the animation fidelity and attention to detail in pgabz vids again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go1oFvxUoeI
