Justin Tyme posted:The high-profile leaver is totally Tony Z, who else is high enough profile to cause a huge fuss? Sean Tracy (He just moved to LA so unlikely) Zane Bien (He moved to LA, then moved to the UK so unlikely) Darian Vorlick Mark Skelton Chris Smith Mark Abent Struggling to think of anyone else the spergs would care about, the developers in the UK apart from Erin Roberts aren't really featured enough to cause a fuss. If they are cutting back on detail to make stuff run faster you could maybe see senior artists considering if it's worth sticking around. Tony Zurovec would hurt them the most though, difficult to pretend that's not a major change.

Ponzi posted:Maybe the energy IS the ammo - think 'futuristic disposable fuel cell type thing' Not particle weapons, but Old Man's Sky had a neat idea for sci-fi guns - rifles used blocks of metal which the gun turned into different rounds on the fly. If you ran out of ammo you could stuff random junk in the gun at the cost of reduced efficiency.

Scruffpuff posted:I have a question for some of the recent CIG refugees: was it a huge surprise after being surrounded by hostilities, and the constant yammering about how evil SA is trying to destroy everything etc., to come here and find out that all that poo poo is totally wrong? That you're welcomed and are completely free to say anything you want, and that this is one of the only places on the internet where you can actually have a calm, reasoned discussion? I'm genuinely curious how many of you were surprised by how chill it is here when compared to the cultist narrative. From many pages ago while catching up on what I missed but thought I'd offer an answer. Not speaking for others that just showed up, but was not really surprised that this place is saner then the cultist's den. The MWO branch of Lowtax (some I see here) were always on point and humorous about what was hosed up in pgi land and the worst behavior I saw was squaaaaawking in matches so I couldn't figure out where the hate/fear was really coming from, then after #SaveMWO had genuine respect even though the efforts were ultimately pgi-proof. That and you guys helped me learn the about not getting mad about videogames a while ago and the snark here's quality so the general narrative in Koolaidville only further cemented that I've been posting in the wrong forums and should have jumped on years ago... Mostly seem like reasonable people masquerading as dickheads instead of dickheads masquerading as reasonable people. Mostly.

Star Citizen is better than any AAA game. I mean just look at all the things you can do, like moving a vending machine to an asteroid or moving a vending machine on top of a space station or moving a vending machine...gently caress it, best game ever.

Ash1138 posted:Oh and Sandi if you want to take down videos that make you look bad, there is one here that you should know about : https://vimeo.com/49705991 Best actor since she was a little girl. At least now we know which video is the reason that she never became a successful actress. It's too bad that the cut-scenes in SQ42 will not be real video. It would be an incredible treat to see Sandi act the horrible script and pretentious lines written by Croberts.

I hope they are going to make an advert for Big Bennys vending machines with a famous star from Squadron 42. An A list actor who is friends with Gary Oldman and Gillian Anderson.

The biggest question that I have after following SC for the past 2 threads is: What is croberts supposed to be the chairman of? CIG? Private companies don't usually have chairmen. Some lore position he gave himself? It drives me crazy every time someone mentions 10ftc.

They are acting like this is the final game. Which actually it probably will be. It's because it's literally the only even slightly amusing thing to do in their game. It's an oversight that the developer who first implemented it didn't tether the object, and because of that a small bit of fun managed to slip into their bland grey game. Upcoming patch notes:

its also worth noting that "the vending machine challenge" can only be considered fun in a game that doesn't have anything resembling fun within 20,000 lightyears. I would still be entertained by a run though.

Just when I thought that video couldn't be better I check the comments and who's that posting a giant wall of mad? And cross-posting it from Reddit as well making it super easy to verify? Why it's Nitro! Man pgabz you're hosting some start studded line-ups these days. How long do you think it'll be before they make a subreddit stalking you, and start writing threat assessments about you?

Ummm. Everyone in this thread keeps saying that the programmers at CIG are GODS. I'm not really seeing it? I'll give you that the artists are drat talented. And yes, I understand that this is "pre-alpha". But why don't they ever fix anything of actual substance? Oh, and also: the engine is tailored for FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS to begin with. How can they gently caress that up so badly?

D1E posted:Ummm. Everyone in this thread keeps saying that the programmers at CIG are GODS. I'm not really seeing it? Well let me use this analogy. Below is programming with a clear direction from the very beginning. No scope changes, no suddenly mocap gazilion polygon poo poo and no quick implement VR to this stuff crap.  This is pretty much SC, changes upon changes, adding features upon features that ( probably) nullify the previous work.  To add, the latter is probably how all the new programmers have to start working. the thing you wanna implement has to go somewhere in there. Lovely. Even the best programmer couldn't work in such an environment.

D1E posted:Ummm. Everyone in this thread keeps saying that the programmers at CIG are GODS. I'm not really seeing it? Take a look at the character models. Of particular note are the animations in latest video. Do you see all that unnecessary mo-cap animation - all the little movements and poo poo that nobody in their right minds pays attention to? They had to hack the FPS engine into oblivion just to get it to look that way. Form over function always wins when the CEO is autistic. So now the developers are faced with attempting to "fix" something that's broken by its very design. The engine they have now isn't really tailored to do anything any more, except fulfill Chris' "vision" in screenshots or short bursts of video - contiguous gameplay does not exist in his vision. So the way to fix the engine is to remove all the player models, all the motion-captured animations, and all the weird physics, and just start over from scratch and do it properly. If Chris vanished tonight, and the programmers had the freedom to do anything they wanted without adhering to his outdated design principles, they could get this working by cutting out all his sacred cows. That's why I, for one, don't blame them for not being able to accomplish the impossible.
