But what if the hype after the trailer isn't representative of what the game will deliver at launch, or what if it won't ever be released? Oh right, they'd never blame anything other than the devious developer fooling them by using new sneaky unknown tactics such as "showing footage"

...you thought I was being ironic? This is video game journalism, there are writers who write as if they were bought, who really try to get bought -- and I guess a few who legit are bought.

So Delamar is another landing pad in Stanton, which should have like 4 pads?

So most of one system done in 4 years? Assuming most systems won't have 4 pads, I look forward to Star Citizen's triumphant release in 2216.

Yo, TheAgent/EightAce/anyone with CIG contacts: are they still planning on releasing this poo poo for consoles?

Because my guess is that they were running that demo on the fastest PC hardware money can buy, and frame rate was still crap...

John Birmingham's Without Warning had near future weaponry with ceramic ammo for use on subs and ships, which would shred people but not ricochet inside a hull.

Great, you just turned all those bullets into sharp bullet fragments and dust. You're going to be eating that poo poo for weeks.

More seriously, rubber bullets just gained a whole new level of hilarity.

I'm actually impressed with all the new stuff being introduced: hangar and fighters stored in bigger ships, hired wingmen, detailed planetary maps, the ability of sending stored ships to where you are and passenger transport amongst other things.

Already on the Star Citizen list. Nice try, Guun.

Okay sorry reddit. I fully apologize to Sandi for thinking and calling her a horrible human being, a lovely business woman, and a failed actress even though she is all of those things.

Now how do I reverse the refund I never got because I never purchased or backed the game because this game has always looked like boring poo poo and I've never had faith in Roberts???

Just watching the video. The space combat is worse than NMS.

That's the thing...even if that video wasn't heavily staged for the purposes of selling more jpegs and they are capable of putting it in the game and fixing all the many many bugs, it's still not loving fun to play. The flight model is poo poo, the on foot combat is mediocre at best and if the best example they could show for this big reveal was a tedious fetch quest it does not bode well for the rest of the game.

peter gabriel posted:

The first time I saw it first hand blew me away. I mean, yeah I sort of thought they'd be chilled and maybe a couple didn't give a gently caress but it was all of them. On the rare occasions that someone showed any inkling of interest in the game being shown you could feel an awkward atmosphere, like they were the worlds biggest nerd for taking an interest or something ha ha.

I like getting money in exchange for playing games and the free poo poo is always welcome but gently caress press events. E3 and the rest are tedious after you've been once, and hard enough to tolerate in the first instance.

EAT THE PAIN AWAY!
I am posting this as i feel like it kinda underlines one issue - it's one of the modders working on his dream chariot since January 2014, this is one is only a third of the size of a bengal carrier.
And there's multiple cap ships, some even dwarfing the bengal for multiple factions in this game that need to be created to insane quality standards. OFC you can re-use assets but it
quickly makes for boring and repetetive environments.

The amount of work that needs to be done is crazy and I am surprised if these ships aren't going to mess up the roadmap dramatically in the end, unless the interiours aren't fully fleshed out.
If ever completed these assets must still be huge - I dread the cap-ship warp stutter on their current network implementation, most probably it will break their physic systems.

Also in view of all the glitches and bugs encountered with the smaller ships, how are these not going to drive your QA Teams insane.

The only ones I have been to have been invite things, usually 20 - 40 people there and hosted in a swank place, I've never done the huge events, gently caress that. Well, no I did do one but it was more informal just to chat with a few people in one day / impressions on the event.
