I love that the original release date was November 2014, yet this guy thinks that CIG not even starting until that year looks good for them

in a space game where you spend most of your time in a space suit and/or in a seat staring out into space. They decided to work on that.

This is breathtakingly retarded.

no u see that was before some random poll on the forums which asked backers if they wanted to delay the game another 5+ years

We have a project I'm leading at work that's now about six months late from the original schedule, owing to a number of technical issues, timetable conflicts and lack of personnel resources. Thanks to Crobbers, every single time that there's been another delay for whatever reason, I've just said to myself "well things could be worse, at least it isn't Star Citizen" and just changed the deadlines. We're now finally getting it to the finish line, and while there'll probably still be some unexpected issues to work out, well, at least it isn't loving Star Citizen 3.0.

So thanks for all the paaarps, Chris!

That and mainlining 3 hours of pure CIG.

The webcam gimmick is such an odd hill for them to plant their flag on.

Not really, it's a functional 3rd party product they can easily bolt on to the foundationless buggy mess that is Star Citizen. Add in Crobberts obsession with mocap and FIDELITY and it's a natural fit.

In one stroke Chris gets to show off "progress" that CIG barely has to do work for and at the same time he gets to make his dream game/movie/story more cinematic.

I started to reply, then realized I don't give a poo poo and these idiots deserve to be scammed. They won't learn, they won't care, and it's not worth the effort.

Even worse: that's all they had. Just think how many thousands of dollars of crowdfunded dollars they've burned to create commercials to sell in-game ships. Not a grounded vertical slice, not stabilizing the loving build - but they put the most love into loving advertisements.

lol wasn't chris' original pitch that they wouldn't have to waste cash on pesky publisheresque things like advertising, so every dollar backed actually if you think about it was worth like six?

With face tracking CIG can now automatically detect when you look away from a ship commercial and detract UEC from your account as a penalty

Video games are escapist fantasy. I specifically play them to become a space princess or a ninja murder hobo or whatever other long list of cool things that you can be in a game that I am not in reality. One of the things that I am definitely not in reality is a professional face actor. I'm not even an amateur face actor. I have no idea why anyone thinks that I'd want to spend a bunch of money on gear to transmit my awkward face into a game.

The headline feature of this demo was the ability to put on community theatre in space.

What I decided to comment on is much smaller and much more telling about CIGs way of thinking in my opinion. The buggy. Well not exactly buggy but that 6 wheeled Apc they archered from Alien 2.

We all know that cry engine has a class for vehicles with okay-ish functionality. Indeed they used that for the grey cat for example (that buggy thing for the hangar)
But that's not what the APC or any of the levitation vehicles run on.
...
But you have to understand what this means for a gameplay versus cinematic design side. For gameplay, this is disastrous. It means that the player is unabled to predict what a vehicle is gonna do because we humans don't have a feeling for movement parameters, we have a feeling for repeatable mechanics. At the same time it's a blessing to the cinematics, because you can now go and tell a live simulation of a vehicle "how to look like" instead of going the route of actually finding a mechanical tune to support that visual appeal (which is likely impossible, because what looks good usually doesn't drive good) and now that you read this about the vehicle suspension, you should all take a good look at the ships landing gear too.

Checks out.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...
