I agree, 3.0 could basically be a standalone title with how many possibilities and mechanics it's going to have. Certainly if the game was being made by some unnamed publishers (lol as if) they'd probably present their version of 3.0 as the final release version. Content is content and it'll start arriving when the PG pipeline has matured and all the tile sets are finished. Even with only one system we'll probably have hundreds of hours of emergent content on our hands. Multiple planets with moons and over a hundred points of interests like stations and surface bases and a dynamic task generation system. I guess my point is that 3.0 isn't going to be Star Citizen, but it's going to be incredibly close, and it can surely compete against the very best the current AAA market has to offer. Perhaps in the past I too would have compared it to GTA 5, but now it seems to be so much more.

darkarchon posted:Too bad SC doesn't support head trackers. It did for a while, but the 'fidelity' of having a head surrounding the camera meant that you could clip outside your own helmet. Kinda wished I'd recorded some of that. Chances are they're keeping it out because head tracking can produce quick movements, tank the framerate and makes the motion blur look loving horrible. You will note that both Arma2 and Arma3 managed to pull this off, and you're also not looking at headless models ingame. iron buns posted:
Well, they aren't saying _arbitrary_, but I wouldn't trust them to build an API. Hell, I'm looking forward to a release filled with exploits, if it releases. 2.4 squished a bug where shooting parts of the station would give you money. How does that even work?

It's really sad how they've glommed onto the one and only piece of emergent fun the backers have ever been able to find. Bumping around a stupid vending machine, the movements of which aren't even replicated across clients.

kikkelivelho posted:We are aware, and CIG is certainly aware, that anyone in the alpha can currently use external chat programs to communicate. I understand that it currently has to be like this since no inbuilt system currently exists, but in the future the developers need to take a hard look at this. Electronic warfare is one of the main pillars of combat in the Star Citizen universe and scrambling communications is a big part of that. External chat programs completely negate these important mechanics which is why CIG absolutely has to develop a solution. IMO the game should not even start if it detects programs such as Skype running. This may sound intrusive, but I don't want this to ruin an otherwise amazing game. If we want Star Citizen at it's best these are the kind of sacrifices we will have to make, now and in the future. There have been numerous discussion threads from the shitizens calling for the Star Citizen executable to enact electronic warfare against any other application on the system which could in any way be used for communications. This proposed feature, which no rational game developer would ever introduce, even reached the level in some backers minds where they were imagining Star Citizen running directly on the metal, being its own operating system.

I'm not disputing that he said that, I'm remaining very skeptical because CIG has a long track record of not getting things done that they say they've gotten done. Until I see the procgen tech working for a decent number of worlds, I'm not going to believe it exists in workable fashion.

A little comment about the "You're controlling the hands controlling the spaceship." concept. If that were the case, then of what use is a flight stick? Using a flight stick to control hands seems really awkward.

In Star Citizen, you control your spaceman who controls his space laser rifle, who shoots individually modeled photons through a handcrafted optical fiber, with the travel time of the beam accurately coded. It was a challenge to make the engine handle the "shots" as a beam with individually modeled photons (due to the constraints imposed by our accurate quantum physics engine) but Chris' golden hands solved it after a night of coding

It's not procedural generation - it's "procedural techniques". It's all R&D, ie, a completely separate build. The procedural stuff they're hyping up is a tool for building the planets. There's no procedural generation on the fly, the planets will be modelled and stored conventionally. They'll take the modelled planet and plop it into the PU and call it 3.0. That's it. The networking, AI and collision detection will remain as broken as it ever was. It'll go just about as smoothly as plopping the Ilfonic Star Marine build into the PU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9T48l7Oq0Q Chris Roberts "We're ending the end of the sort of, ehm... sort of... engineering R&D technical stuff, we've got some more stuff to do on the NETWORKING, still got some more stuff to do on the AI and some more stuff to do on SCALABILITY side" "The big difference between what we're doing with our planets and probably some of the other games that have, you know... got... you know, HAVE planets that are out now, so NO MANS SKY or ELITE, is that... we focus on not being... we do use PROCEDURAL TECHNIQUES but ours AID an artist or designer in CREATING the world whereas the other approach is you create a bunch of procedural templates and then sort of depending on some RULES you create these different planets"

Who is right and who is wrong? They can't both be right! At some point this all breaks down into telling people exactly what they want to hear based on whatever game has been released that month, and if you haven't seen it by now your brain is broken and you should totally throw more money into this mess.

I'm not following. They never said, "Oh, well, we're trying or thinking of developing this tech." They said that they're just about finished with it and already have several planets in our dev build. That dev build evolved into the demo we saw at Gamescom and no doubt will evolve into something playable by 3.0.
