But soon, soon my friend, you will hear something great. It will probably be this:

“This was our vision all along. This is... Star Citizen.” and then Chris will take half a breath, “But now we’re moving on to another fresh kickstarter project! Entry donations start at $5k for your name to be in the game! It’s an open world exploration game over an entire solar system! Millions of players! Meshing technology!”

Next to him, the computer running Star Citizen grinds to a halt before the “Star Citizen has encountered a problem!” dialog box pops on screen with the percentage bar slowly etching along its path.

Chris Roberts pats the computer and says, “We look forward to your continued support in our next breakthrough game!”

hello

all of these are god knows how credible
  • chris roberts is transitioning away from any game or art design to focus more on company matters
  • someone close to chris (sean tracy??) will be handling all end stage design and art approvals
  • expect 3.0 features in 2018 at the minimum
  • sqlude is still scheduled for this year
  • sqlude is working off a different engine branch than 2.6/3.0 (???)
  • mocapped assets are undergoing redesigns (again)
  • some mocapped characters have changed due to rewrites, causing dialogue to be re-recorded
  • crawling/wall/fast attacking vanduul were too "problematic," will now stand and fire normally
  • AI still broken (shooting through walls, instakilling the player, animations not firing correctly, spazzing out into the great beyond on death anim)
  • netcode still broken
  • updated design docs are forthcoming and will detail some "minor" changes to scope
  • larger ships with full player crews will be hamstrung fighting against AI ships until problems are fixed
  • larger battles are still not possible (2018/2019 minimum) and SC will focus more on smaller player driven skirmishes
  • end year sales "barely put our nostrils above water"

We always predict Chris will stumble on stage in a drunken / high state. But by golly I feel like this year it will finally come true

Bonus points if he does a face plant into the stage and Ben comes waddling over to save him , trips on a cable and crushes poor little Chris

It should be cringy but they have to make the money. The project can't be allowed to fail. They can't be allowed to stop. They have to pay. CiG, the backers, even the innocent entry-level staff. They have to pay for wasting the angel cash that rightfully belonged to me competent companies.

I want to see Chris, 5 years in the future, hawking even more bloat for an even more broken game. I want him to get the smallest bits of false hope that will keep him talking and gesticulating, long after he can't even see the dreams anymore. I want the yes-men to give less and less effort. I want the artists to fondly welcome the reworks. Always teetering on bankruptcy, personality conflicts and fights, with a workforce that contracts and expands with the smallest shifts in funding. It must destroy them all completely, and they can never stop.

That guy talking about pain amplifiers and deskeletonization had some good ideas, but this is the real poo poo.

you'll probably see a few NPCs there, like Pusher or Oldman, as questgivers as they try to sort out all the single player poo poo

wouldn't surprise me if they straight up refunded everyone with a $15 separate package, because producing sq42 is going to take another 4 years and probably an additional $150m minimum

More likely they give people a $15 coupon that can only be used on warbond purchases over $100.

Sucks to be you Roberts, the devil doesn't exist and there's no supernatural force to save the poo poo game/movie you have created.
