It's a pity you picked SC then, since it is a micropenis. Mind you, the prettiest micropenis you have ever seen, but a micropenis nonetheless.

Maybe because it is an actual game and not a half-assed tech demo, so people can have fun while indulging in their nostalgic remembrances of days past which is better and easier?

I honestly don't understand the obsession of walking around. I'm still poking about in E:D, and, as I said a week or so ago, I've STILL never thought "Gee, I wish I could get out of my chair and... uh... walk around a bit, rather than flying through asteroid fields in my kickass nimble as gently caress ship blapping baddies and collecting cash.

It's really loving baffling.

I mean, idiot commandos spend $324985723094865720 on pretend spaceships, and their go to redeeming feature of Star Citizen is "you can walk around in Star Citizen, take that E:D!"

Ya know, if CIG released a game that was half as good as Elite, shitizens would jizz their pants in an eruption of euphoric nerdgasm. They can rail against elite all they want but they god drat well know they'd take an elite clone with the star citizen logo slapped on it and swear it was the best game that will ever be made.

In the future star citizen will have perfect vr because when it's being played by robots it can just worry about rendering the virtual space without needing to work around things like motion sickness and other problems peculiar to the human brain.

In the future, someone figures out that Chris'wavy hands are accessing an AR game dreams programming interface that only he is able to see to weave his ideas into SC.

Or they find out he is a hack.

Not only that, but the bots will be jacked in, so they get full sensorium, including motion cues and the smell of incredibly old farts trapped in the wank pod.

It's funny to watch :reddit: rationalization morph in real time to make the grim reality easier to cope with.

Not long ago, about 1 year (?), splitting development in two games was good because "both games share most of the technology" and it would "help bring in more money from new backers, since they are two AAA games now".

Now, suddenly, it's a major challenge because "CIG is developing two AAA games in the time it takes Rockstar to develop one", so it's naturally more expensive and they need more money.

Frontier Developments—the studio responsible for Planet Coaster and Elite: Dangerous—has announced is acquisition of a top Hollywood movie licence to develop its third game franchise.

That's according to a press release posted this morning on the London Stock Exchange website, that suggests the English outfit is working on a new series based on an "enduring franchise of global renown." Beyond that, details are thin on the ground however the developer says more information will follow later this year.

"The third franchise is an important next step in our growth," says Frontier's chief executive David Braben. "We have chosen to license this particular IP to work with as our third franchise, because we believe we can create something very special. It is creatively stimulating, already has a high worldwide profile, and is a perfect match for our expertise."

So a movie company is throwing money at Braben, how come they are not throwing money at the visionary Chris Roberts?
