Improvised props like these aren't uncommon with games mo-cap.




I believe there was one game (I want to say it was Uncharted?) that tried having an actual car on the stage for the actors to interact with, but it caused more problems than just having some boxes and gym equipment "stand in" for the car.
I don't think we'd agree on the definition of 'improvised'.

There are clear signs of planning and measurement in those pictures. No one was arguing that motion capture sets need to have authentic props.

It doesn't take Jason Bourne to figure out that account is affiliated with CIG in some way. It might as well be called "Judas Steer" or "ASTROTURFER" for how subtle it is.

2019+ complete game

SC
2017/2018 3.0 (with all promised features)
2019 first real pre-alpha release
2020 alpha

I'm gonna go ahead and be the anti-I.N.R.I in a fashion.

By themselves, you owe your parents nothing. Sharing a few chromosomes with a person does not make them automatically worthy of your love and respect.

My dad's biological father was an rear end in a top hat of the highest order who ran out on my grandmother and him when he was less than eight years old. The man she remarried was more of a father to him and a grandfather to me than that sonuvabitch ever was, and we told him as such when he had the balls to show his face again at my great-grandmother's funeral.

If your family are loving and worthy of your respect, you should call them. If they aren't? Don't. Reconciliation is for Lifetime movies.

Thank you.

Yeah I don't think anything has made it to the alpha in v1 form. And 2.0 versions of poo poo is kind of a lie bc a lot are on their 3rd or 4th design pass and just get renamed to hide the fact they gently caress up everything multiple times before it's barely passable.

When all they poo poo out between patches is a few more ships and none if the gameplay features that would let them move to other proper phases. Right now they are missing every single gameplay loop the game has to offer other than simple blow up pirates missions. They are missing, mining, refining, crafting, trading, farming, exploring, bussing, pirating ( and its innevitable consequence), salvaging, repairing, mending, a ton of other ings im forgetting

When your market is detached from your actual product and is instead propelled by the amount of stupidity your customers have you are going to do things like label 0.0002 as "2.0" and be $134,000,000 deep into something that barely classifies as a prototype / first playable version of a game.

Just wait though, sometime in 2017 you'll get another 1 of the 40 promised mechanics in Version 3.0.

Something I've always wondered when they show themselves dragging the supposed sun around in their videos to change the time of day on a planet: they say this is a real sun so does that mean if another camera was out in space would they see this massive sun model being dragged around at like millions of mph? From how responsive it is in the editor I can't see how it's not just a little light that looks like a distant sun but that's not what they claim right?
