Can I get some e-credit for the Crobber Spirited Away ghost, it was my sharp observation skills which flagged the similarity.

also the ghost is called 'No-Face' and I said 'No-Space' which is p.good imo


Further nitpicking: that is the American style. British rules put commas and periods outside unless they're part of the original quote. Britannia rules the words, as well as the waves.

I used to follow Scientology and Bitcoin threads but this game is better.

The part of the entire project that they're furthest along with is actually the making-of documentary.

Honestly, Chris Roberts and Sandi Gardiner disgust me.

Also the XBox One sharktank thread. Same thing happened over the last several months, everyone seems to have kind of given up and agreed the console is poo poo, even Microsoft.

gently caress, there was the general Microsoft gently caress-up thread too. This thread is just meeting all my needs that I used to need 2 or 3 for.

He has been a little too specific in the past. Remember that he called: the in game spaceship dealer, several people leaving, roberts big meeting in LA, and probably a few other things i'm forgetting. These were not vague things he guessed about. That coupled with Derek's belief is enough for me. Do you really think he would share the spotlight with EightAce if he wasn't legit?

I wish I'd saved a copy of that guy that was neglecting his RL farm animals because he was going to become a professional bounty hunter in the Verse or something. I didn't and now it's lost among 100k posts.

stuff like that pushes me more into the "it's a scam" column. i don't want to believe that they're so blisteringly stupid as to film and edit a "making of" documentary before the core features of the game have even been designed. i'd prefer that they're actually master manipulators and are wrapping up their take the money and run exit strategy

This is Elite, right? I thought all the stuff about that was a joke. Like I could imagine a friendly rivalry, but they don't even look like they're supposed to be similar games to me other than being in space.

No, I would not. That would be silly. And I'd look like a fool if it turns out to be a false flag op

Given how hosed the performance capture allegedly is it might actually be Andy Serkis.

The industry is a very small place....despite it employing thousands of people world wide , there is only really a small amount that control it and have any real clout. Someone on here , I know who , but no hard feelings whatsoever, pasted some of my more predictive posts on Chaos engine, in an industry only forum where there is much speculation and hilarity from people that really do know what they are talking about. The whole industry is laughing their collective sexual organs off at the whole thing. But there are exceptions. Most noticeably one Evangelical young man who is so brainwashed that he will not hear a word said against CIG, the project or the management.
Because of this , much of what is discussed here has circulated among the dev staff. I would say 60% think it hilarious, stick it to them etc. 20% Im sure are making GBS threads themselves in case they have any connection to me and 10% are determined to track me and any other dissenters down like wild beast's, and present our pelt's before the Stimporer and his consort.
Thing is they are now running on fumes both figuratively and ideologically. People realize that this is doomed including the press who are contacting people left right and center. I still maintain that this is NOT a scam and even now in the dying days of Rome the brains-trust still really and truly believe that if they show enough shiny JPEGS and trailers for SQ42 then they will get over this and still produce the BDSSE.

Things to look for soon ......

There are 3 trailers . Best one has Craig Fairbrass in he is pretty awesome..one will be released soon. The Stimporer is being selective

Apparently one of the A listers is not happy at all about being associated with this gently caress up and is currently seeking distance. ........a lot of distance .......off grid physics distance.

The animation system is so hosed they have to reshoot mo cap......The budget set aside for this element of the game has over run by 12 times the initial estimate !!

Chris is really pissed about ED I mean really pissed. Its everyone fault but his of course

This forum and any forum that has any SC content is read by paid peons CONFIRMED. To be fair , they do adjust policy (with regards public facing issues ) in response. So.....
No more of that fake news report bollocks, more dev interviews etc. This in itself is amazing

Ben is actually in a really bad way. I am not taking the piss here but please remember he is a human being and is clearly in a lot of trouble .

3 ! Yes 3 high profile ship jumpers in the foreseeable.

There have also been some rather explosive conversations behind the scenes with some very disgruntled top tier Wales. there is a genuine concern that these people band together ........

Other than that its business as usual: The Vanduul are up for a rethink by the looks of it as they didn't go across as impressively as was required. Slight concerns about scale/ships are now becoming real panic blockers and the blame game has begun. SQ42 Ep 1 or 10000 will be here next year , late next year .

For anyone that still has money in this, if what they want is a visually impressive but really boring first person dog fighting game running at 3 fps with loads or terrible and I mean loving terrible cutscenes then sit tight it may still happen and you will be very happy.

Anyone that bought into this for an open world alternate reality where you can roam the verse and be who you want to be, farming and raping and grieifng and parkouring etc . I suggest that you rethink your investment..... and be loving quick about it

At ease commandos

Had it been an honest documentary, it might actually have been interesting to see more of that pre-produciton phase, similar to all the ugliness they left out in the open in the Doublefine documentary. But they're not going to make one of those, are they? It's just another self-promoting PR piece to stuff a few more IMDB entries into everyone's CVs (at least Sandi's).

When Tim Schafer has more self-awareness and distance to his work than you do, it's time to pull your head out of the coke mountain…
