Been (still am actually) away for a few days, missed shitcon, is PC gaming saved yet?

Citizencon 2017 was the most boring-est thing I've watched on a screen.

They can't show any gameplay because it's always a disaster, and the pre-rendered tech demo stuff is so devoid of imagination, style or originality that it's a genuine snoozefest.

All you need to do for next year is see which big sci-fi movie is due, knock up some visuals based off it, throw in your spaceship model built by whichever 3rd party studio needed the work that month and BAM $2 million dollah

I've gotta know, when you saw the 2016 presentation that talked about how 3.0 would have all these awesome features and would be out really soon, how did you feel?

How different was that feeling from the one you felt when you watched the 2017 presentation about how 3.0 would have all these awesome features and would be out really soon?

When they showed the phone box chariot flying over a city I thought 'wow that looks cool' and then the whole cityscape started wobbling around on obviously pre determined tiles and I thought 'oh yeah it's CIG' Then I ate an egg

I'm glad I used the thread to give me the high points to save me six hours of boredom. I can't recall seeing a single gify link in the thread during Citcon, which kinda says everything. In comparison, I remember one post about GamesCom 2017 collecting like 20 or 30 gify links, all of them hilarious.

I Saved PC Gaming

That's a really nice megatexture of a dead city with 1 or 2 ships flying in straight lines, and 0 signs of life. You can fly around in a render of a city.

Are there thousands of ships? NPCs, cops, traffic, maybe some exciting chases to see or supply ships you can rob? Criminals you can shoot down? Maybe take supplies around the city for cash?

Maybe attack some buildings for other corporations or raid supply warehouses?


No?


Just float around above the city?






Yeah, it's a tech demo.

The problem is that none of the features they showed are for 3.0. They said they are for post-3.0, and they didn't even imply they would come out soon. The only moderately scummy thing they did (if we didn't know that most of it is never happening) is show that interior procgen video just after showing the procgen cities, so that the backers would put them together in their minds to dream about.

Again, if I didn't know anything about this mess and I saw that last presentation I would be like "cool tech, I hope they get it working in their single-player game soon". This, compared to their previous dumpster-fire presentations, which were transparently full of bullshit.

Seriously, no promises were made, no dates were announced, no real gameplay was shown. Chris even learned how to barely cut a cake (still smeared his hands with frosting and took him like 9 cuts to produce a piece but he has shown he can learn). Iron-loving-clad.

As you can tell from the lack of "lol cig gifs" it was boring and professional.

Tons better. Basically the big CitizenCon demo was a higher poly version of the Second Reality demo with Crobberts babbling about how all the AI characters had lives and worshiped him as a god (might have added that last part).

Honestly I know we are all jaded here but you'd have to be made out of stone to not be affected by the scale of what was shown there. I know I know, its not "in game". But thats just you again moving the goalposts. For years it was "impossible." Well they've done it.

CIG have done what?
They have produced some pretty convincing movies.
I know I'm sold.

As the 'ground breaking technologies' they keep introducing are renamed technologies from five years ago.
Roberts is really good at smoke and mirrors.

Next thing is he'll package one of pgabz piss sandwiches and persuade the backers that it is worth $900 and essential for immersion.

Don't lose hope. I'm new here and a little optimistic, but I'm sure the lulz will come back.

I don't see what the big deal is. They needed a good presentation to buy some more time, they gave a presentation without major fuckups, even if it was so boring I didn't watch most of it. The last 3 months of the year is their most important funding period, so they just don't want to gently caress that up. 3.0 is so bad I don't think they'll release it soon, they may feel forced to anyway.

The key points haven't changed, they should be short of money, they can't create decent gameplay, the engine is a mess. Apart from encouraging gullible third parties like Intel to get involved, the only real way they can cut costs is to reduce headcount, so I expect plenty of funny stuff when that happens over December/January.
