The ship altimeters literally update every 45 seconds, at best. I don't know how they hosed that up. Tons of time was spent flying around well above the surface with altimeters reading -100 something.

I think the best thing so far out of this is Lando telling everyone that it's the entirety of the 3.0 build just with disabled Quantum Travel.

Except for a major problem: Watch this part in the beginning. Gamble is flying off the planet, and eventually you see the ship just stop, like it's hitting an invisible wall; I figure it might just be my hosed up perspective of it, but nope, sure as gently caress, I read his dash on the Cutlass, and it's maxed out 10670.9 elevation and just stays there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwUtzq3A5-o&t=1755s

keep buying ships idiots lmao

Anyone have a idea why 10670.9 was the maximum height? It seems such a odd number to erect the invisible wall at.

At first I though it might because they were using feet internally and meters for the display, but 10670.9m converts to 35009.51444 feet, which is also a odd number. Maybe they only have control of planet scale objects in 10' segments? That could make it make sense then, 35000 feet of "atmosphere" for the demo then the wall 10' later.

What makes it even more amazing to me is that for the last year, they've crunched on this bullshit non-stop. Everything - everything they've worked on - was designed first and foremost to make sure that forward-facing poo poo looked good enough to get more cash coming in, and to save their flagging customer base.

That's what all their efforts went into. Not improving the engine, not making a game, not putting in playable elements - all efforts were for appearances. The real development of SC was put on hold so the superficial elements could be perfected.

And this is what came of all those efforts.

Don't forget what the entire point of Gamescom this year was for CIG: "proof" that they have "planets." So now we've lost the "space" in Chris Roberts' space game, and we're left with a small little terrain area which serves to prove two things: not only can Chris Roberts not make a space game, he also can't make a regular Crysis game either, even with an engine designed specifically for that.

Chris Roberts gets the industry lifetime achievement award for Creating New Ways to Fail.

This is true.

This is the fruits of their labor for 1 year.

I hope the backers are happy and totally ready to buy more ships. :)

Also, I wonder if at some point CIG will force GamesCom people to show a "functional proof you can do this" sort of demo before they let people set up shop.

It'd probably have been better for CIG if they were not allowed to attend over coming in and embarrassing themselves.

They could then make something up that sounds like they made the decision themselves instead of got booted because they suck.

Not after they get sued into BK, which is precisely what I envision is going to happen when this poo poo-show collapses.
