D_Smart posted:SQ42 is coming to consoles. It just hasn't been publicly announced yet. Question: do Microsoft and Sony still do some kind of certification or QA process or is that all out the window now and they'll allow something utterly broken to ship for their platforms with the provision that the developer "patch it later?" I can't imagine SQ42 passing some kind of formal review if people are still clipping through ships, dry-humping the floors, and shooting guns by pointing their index finger while the pistol remains holstered. Oh, and they still haven't worked out the crosshairs thing either, right?

You still have the QA process I believe. They arent like steam in that regard.But you have to pay for patches if memory serves correct as well.(Xbone)

Chocobo posted:Am I retarded or do simple things like dropping out of supercruise within a reasonable distance of your target take some serious practice in Elite? I overshot my target twice, then dropped out a loving million miles away. I mean, it seems like you could very easily drive yourself into a sun by being off a second in your timing. I prevent overshooting by watching the 'time to destination' counter next to the targeted planet or station. When it gets under 0:15, I slow down to halfway the blue zone and then calmly get there, slowing down some more when it gets really close. But I still overshoot often after a year hehe.

Yes. Don't worry; not way those fuckers aren't passing cert with the crap they've been pulling. And the good thing is, once you fail cert, you go back in the queue. Keep failing, and you can miss your launch date by a good 6-8 months. I swear if these clowns seriously port SQ42 to any console in any form, it's the end of that game. Aside from the truly horrid acting that I'm hearing has been done to the cut scenes. D_Smart fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Feb 28, 2016 |

D1E posted:Question: do Microsoft and Sony still do some kind of certification or QA process or is that all out the window now and they'll allow something utterly broken to ship for their platforms with the provision that the developer "patch it later?" You still have to go through cert, but these days the thing they are paying the most attention to is system-level bugs and security. Your game can have bad clipping, dry-humping, missing models, and hosed crosshairs and still get out to the market. But if you have just one buffer overrun that might let someone break through the OS and create a softmod exploit, you ain't passing cert. That's where their priorities are now. Berious posted:Word. It's not like the gaming press don't know. If you listen to gaming podcasts and so forth you'll often hear oblique references to SC being a disaster. But none of them want to touch the story. Even "opinion formers" on Youtube don't want to create a fuss. I don't know if they're scared of getting sued (seems unlikely after Escapist called their bluff), scared of the crazy fans, scared of losing access, scared of being labelled a muckraker. Something is going on though. I've posted about this before, but it's nothing to do with being industry shills or whatever. I don't think anyone's scared of losing access to Chris Roberts and star citizen. They're scared of being wrong on a big call like that because the blowback is real. Gamers are babies and hold weird grudges for stuff like that. To report on what's going on inside CIG, they either need an insider who will go on record, or they need to wait for the fat lady to sing. A post-mortem expose about how poo poo went down is safe. Also, games are very frequently on fire while they're in development. Doesn't always mean they'll be terrible games. Game journos and industry vets have seen plenty of train wrecks, sometimes it results in a crazy collapse and sometimes the train miraculously puts itself back together and pulls into the station.

Thank you for knocking out these questions with detailed answers. Is there usually a particular tipping point when the landslide begins in the media? I'll admit to having spent next to no time reading/caring about gaming media in the past so I've no idea when the dogpile begins.

intardnation posted:DRM, No customer service, up till a little while ago no refunds, anti consumer, early access garbage, unity asset flips. Paid mods are going to happen and at first I was angry about too but thinking on it more it sounds like not that bad of an idea. You'd even begin to see businesses grow around modding, where people can be hired to put the time and effort into creating complete and robust mods for various games. Kneejerk reactions to things because they're different is no way to be.

Dusty Lens posted:Thank you for knocking out these questions with detailed answers. IDK, when do they get actionable information to report on? A good example is 38 Studios, which the gaming media treated with the same type of kid-gloves until a traditional dead-trees paper reported they were out of money and failing to repay loans. Then games jumped on it and we got lots of stories about line devs being hosed by this epic mismanagement. (However that case was special because 38 had gotten a $75 million loan from the state of RI, that's why traditional news was digging in the first place. It was a public interest story. That probably won't happen here.) So I'd say most likely the worm won't turn until: a) CIG starts running out of money and we hear about big layoffs / people missing paychecks b) Squadron 42 gets released in some way where crobberts is expecting people to pay for it, thus counting as a "review-able" product. (Note that b probably won't happen until they're really close to a, so the end result might be pretty much the same stories.) Then there will be a huge vomiting forth of articles and opinion pieces, like someone finally unclogged a poo poo-filled toilet. Hell, at this point I bet some people already have their "what does this mean for crowd-funding" articles pre-written, like a big newspaper had obituaries for famous people.
