RubberJohnny posted:As part of G0RFs project to dispirit the SC backers by collecting evidence out that it's never coming out I decided to go through Reverse the Verse and create a list of every feature so we can point out just how much is left to be implemented. Although I'm not going to watch them myself, and just use INNs transcripts - but even reading those is terrible and kills me. BanditLoaf posted:"Sandi keeps coming back to my office with more sketches, film clips, blueprints for me. Best job in the world!" I've found a lot of little gems that INN didn't log in their notes just by scrolling through the videos. Logged the best material for discussion purposes and downloaded some of the best footage just because CIG is Orwellian as hell and tends to erase things from the record once they read here that they left yet another smoking gun in the archives. I don't consider what the community team says regarding release dates as especially valuable-- because Chris can always wave it off as underlings speaking out of turn about things they don't know about. The best gems tend to be the accidental disclosures, the emotional tensions after big moments of internal drama, the inadvertent confirmations of formerly alleged sins, and stuff like that.

Lime Tonics posted:Even though Squadron 42 is released as a final product, players will also here have to be patient: “The one player campaign in Squadron 42 is played out in five chapters, with around 15 hours of content in each chapter. Each chapter will be like a game in it self, and when all the chapters are released Squadron 42 will contain over 70 hours of content.” - ERIN ROBERTS Oh for gently caress's sake. Now it's 15 hours of loving content? Let's go over the history of Squadron 42: In the beginning, Squadron 42 was to be a standalone game. Then a stretch goal came along with a mission pack called "Behind Enemy Lines". At some point SQ42 was described as this epic thing with 50 hours of gameplay. Then last year it was split into three episodes, with the first episode having around 20 hours of gameplay and people with the mission pack getting the second episode. Then in October it became an open world concept that CIG still hasn't explained. Now it's five episodes of 15 hours each.

Which is also cool because it's helped provide incentive for both companies to roll out mechs that haven't been seen since Harmony Gold started suing the bejeezus out of anybody who tried to use them in the early nineties. And because the MWO art guy (Alex Iglesias) is incredibly talented, and all of his giant stompy robots look pretty incredible. Especially compared to some of the older Battletech art (I understand the nostalgia value, but come on, that poo poo's goofy as gently caress).

Even if you assume only 100,000 people will play (something like three times EVE's peak load) that's still 1000 players per system... assuming a perfectly even distribution. LOL!! That made me spit out my coffee. Seriously.

Yep, I can already see Ben reaching out: each episodes provide you 15hours of Chris Roberts Entertainment in a time where most other AAA games provide only 5-10hours max on their Single-Campaigns, that's a good deal, considering that we drop an interactive movie on top of it.

One of my favourite things about all this is this: Squadron 42 - no one gives a gently caress apart from Chris Star Citizen open world thing - everyone gives a gently caress apart from Chris This is how and why hilarious times are a comin' - as more and more of the dwindling resources are forced into SQ42 the louder the crying will be from spergers who want the open world, which will be neglected / shitcanned / mothballed
