I can tell you what you will see. A sweet looking trailer for sq42 at Shitcon. All dev work is now on hold and everyone is taping and gluing furiousley to get a sq42 showcase out. We just need to finalise the attaching of some smoke to some mirrors and we are nearly there.

I'm really excited for Star Marine, IF it comes out this year it'll be right around CoD:IW and Titanfall 2 :allears:

What fraction of the work year is spent making throwaway content for demos that can't make it into the full game? At least a quarter?

for the coders, 85%

artists, none, because they're all making saleable jpegs and hats

in reality of course, none of the work can make it into something that will never exist anyway.

I still think CIG is going to do its best to produce some kind of "prelude" episode (even if it is 99% mocap based and 1% gameplay) sometime in Q4 or Q1 so to avoid the shitstorm of broken promises. That 2016 stamp on the SQ42 video is just too blatant even for any relevant authorities to pass up after all the statements on SQ42 release planned for 2014, then 2015 and this. Nevermind the press.

Also they're gonna have to release something called 3.0 by december. Even if its 1/4 of the features. Like I know some battered women just cant get enough but these citizens have a broken jaw and not even the slightest idea how long a roast should be in the oven for before it burns.

I can't see Chris Roberts releasing anything final (not alpha, not beta, final) until he is running out of money. As soon as there is an actual release the press are going to switch from PR mode to being critics and the carnival of dreams will be over.

They won't. Here's how CitCon will go:

- Star Marine will again be out "in weeks, not months"
- SQ42 will be "in final development" but with no date given
- they'll show another staged gameplay session and pimp their latest Jesus patch 3.0 which will somehow be worse than anything else shown so far when implemented
- nothing will resemble the GamesCom showcase
- Croberts will once again parade out his metropolitan phone book of a script, plus another 40 min "behind the scenes" mo-cap featurette
- Wulf Knight will further stain his undies if he's not already victimizing some poor woman with dick pix
- There will be another sale of multi-hundred-dollar ships that will never make it into the game
- CIG will raise another $4M

Please bookmark this post to see how right I am even though I do not understand game development

I still can't even parse that standalone star marine is back on the menu and shitizens arent even talking about how croberts said it was all already in the game. he didn't even say it was dead or on hold or some poo poo, he said the whole concept of star marine was something totally incompatible with what theyre saying it is and always was now.

how does this happen and how do they just ignore it? :psyduck:

# ? Sep 5, 2016 09:33

Cigstomper58: Aug 17, 2016; by FactsAreUseless

Biggest red flag to me was that they didn't demo Star Marine at all. Like they should have had a match, showed the interface, or gently caress even described what game modes/weapons you'd have.

I mean jesus christ that poo poo is supposed to come out immediately after 2.5 and they showed a literal 3 second flash of the logo at gamescom. Just to hype viewers and saying we remember it exists.

And citizens reading: They're desperate to show poo poo off to silence refunders etc. You know this, you've read the begging emails. If they had anything workable or playable you will have seen it. You and I both know that demo makes 0 sense for star citizen the mmo.

Honestly I'd have been 10 times more impressed (and I think most people here would be too) if they just had Chris, Devs, and streamers have a big 6 v 6 arena deathmatch that looks semi fun.
s
But no you got some scripted linear bullshit you are supposed to believe is dynamic spontaneous in the game. You and I both know Chris didn't boot up Star Citizen Alpha 3.0 dev build and pick up a mission. All of that was hand crafted. They should have said it was a SQ42 level to be semi plausible. But they know most of you are desperate and stupid.

Sorry to be the voice of reason but 15 minutes gameplay at 99% of total would mean 9 seconds mocap. You just dont understand rule of three development.

how does this happen and how do they just ignore it?

Because truth hurts.

IIRC, he said something like "I actually get annoyed about the questions when Star Marine will be released. It was never planned to be released (only he himself announced it couple months before), but was only a testbed for FPS, and the plan always was to integrate it into the PU. So Star Marine already IS released, it's in the PU" (so basically shut the gently caress up asking me about it).

Then, a couple months later, when it gets apparent even to them that they have not enough progress to show, suddenly they announce Star Marine. But instead of showing it in a working state, we see a 3 second clip that has NOTHING to do with the game. And the Shitizen actually applaud this, they go crazy and they throw more money at CIG!

Wanna bet if you can buy (for real money) weapons and weapon skins? Or "concept weapons"? Or going even lower: "for 10 bucks, we up your K/D ratio in the official stats page by 0.1, for 200 bucks, you start every game with 150 health instead of 100".

I remember when they missed 2015 thinking "Wow they hosed up, they'll have to release it before Spring ends at the very least"

And here we are lol

I know 8ace wouldn't intentionally mislead us but I literally cannot even imagine them not having Star Marine released by Citcon. It could headline their entire event. If its not out by then it'll be this giant loving shadow on the whole thing. 2015 all over again.

Remember, Chris said Star Marine is in 2.6. They've said it dozens of times. They literally did the "weeks not months" thing again. THEY HAVE TO DELIVER
