You guys need to lay off the tournament thing because I don't know a single tech company that doesn't do something eerily similar. I mean just last month we had a ping pong tournament and late last year we did a smash bros/sf5 tournament buy-in for extra life. Out of the laundry list of things we can sit back and laugh at CIG, this isn't really one of them. Though our Foosball table isn't a 2 grand one but it's lasted years so who knows.

No, we really don't. If they were actually MAKING A GODDAMN GAME, then sure... but they aren't. It's a scam run by incompetents.

In the grim darkness of the future, writing is hard guys . This is the case where they should have copied from an actual sign and would be an example of a time where it is okay to do.

Pirate of the Caribbean would be a good license for Frontier, maybe we could get a free roaming pirate game that isn't a janky mess from Akella.

When this all goes tits up, do you really think Chris and Sandi are going to want a cheap foosball table in their garage to go alongside the cutting edge motion capture rigs and office furniture made from bits of SR-71 Blackbirbs?

Jurassic Park does come to mind, especially due to the rumors that existed about Frontier making a Zoo Tycoon type game. A new Dune game (especially if it isn't a strategy game) would be a dream come true...I'm not really counting on it though. Dante80 fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Feb 6, 2017 |

It totally won't be, but my dream scenario is that it's a Firefly Space sim, so all the shitlords that bought into Star Citizen to live out their Malcolm Reynolds fantasies get all twisted up in their poor consumer decisions.

Well the announcement talked about an "enduring franchise of global renown." so I don't think that is it. What about the Expanse though? (that would be awesome!)

A new Tie Fighter or X-Wing space sim would be hilarious, if only because it would further put pressure on Roberts and his non-progress.

Yeah true, but I've had coworkers leave for startups that haven't released anything and still have a ping pong table We play Project M with the ganondorf mod and it's much better than anything Smash U has to offer

That's just an indictment of startup culture though. The foosball table costs a shitload less than paying for the 20+ hours a week your employees are working for no pay. The dumb ones even go "look how good COMPANY treats us, they bought a foosball table!" "I need you to come in on Sunday"

It would be really really great if Frontier could put out an FPS and thereby dunk on CIG completely in every category. They won't, but I wish they would.

AP posted:What happened in the end with all that drama over the new Warhammer Fantasy stuff? They canned the original Warhammer Fantasy, their longest running franchise, in favour of a simplified system that allowed them to include fantasy space marines (the best selling part of 40k) and to trademark classic fantasy races like Elves and Orks by renaming them Aelfs™ and Orruks™.
