Furia posted:This gun is loving ugly This 'surprise giveaway' is just another example of Chris' micromanaging decisions. The giveaway structure itself, not the gun. He presents two options. Tells the audience to cheer for their choice, then cheer again (louder) for their choice. Because there can only be one winner. Ultimately he makes the decision of which will be given away - unnecessarily disappointing about half the attendees. In a saner world, you would just say - you get to pick one of these colors when you log in. But control freaks gotta control, I guess.

It's more that they offer something with very low cost but perceived value that switches people to a more receptive frame of mind when faced with the kind of money for a jpg, jpg/drive deal that is pitched at the cost for a plane ticket and hotel room for their extended advert. I bet if you look at some of those original timeshare pitches, you'd see a very similar structure to the whole thing; sell during the high points, dull the senses for a bit, provide for more high points. The level of applied psychology in the games industry is truly astounding these days; They've managed to de-emphasise missing a deadline by months and upsell a function that doesn't actually exist while shading the last big sale of a mining ship and the mechanics of mining itself. It's like an idea Ponzi; sell the dream up front and bank the cash to keep the lights on. Again, I don't really believe the _scam_ line, personally, I've always been a lot more focussed on the fact that they're led by someone who has a vision that he can't express without anger or criticism that hasn't been involved in a professional project in years. That vision was never solid, and is suffering from the kind of do-over mentality that is not normally exposed in triple A publishing, but is massively front and center here. I'm beginning to smell Andromeda. A lot of that development was done in the last year before release because they kept luxuriating in the idea that the fans would buy what was offered and hitting the 'do-over' button, but they've pre-sold all of this and are hoping to backfill mechanics. I mean, I'm fascinated by the Pioneer's construction abilities, but how does that _actually_ work? They offer pictures and fidelitous concept art, but the _actual construction_....how does that work?

So, I did not watch the stream. Question for those who did: was "Silas Koerner"'s presentation a mocapped harangue a la Morrow Tour, or someone appearing in person as the character?

goddamn I was kinda not expecting a whole lot from Wolf2 other than shootin mechanazis, but it does a pretty loving amazing job of balancing an arcade shootmans with spot on Trump era mockery and actual, real feels due to excellent voice acting and writing and citcon, what can I even begin to say, it was boring as gently caress and it won't surprise me if they 100% stop doing any live playthroughs with actual game mechanics also no free flight this citcon lol

That's actually a really exciting idea. Basically an octree of servers where space is subdivided into cells with a max player count. When a cell has too many players, it is subdivided into smaller cells, each is a new server. Players connect to whatever server is controlling the cell they occupy, and they interact with whatever other players are in it. I don't know anything about this, but some challenges come to mind. Maybe there are solutions to them? -Two players in different cells could actually be very close to each other, if they are near the same border. This might be resolved if players were sending their updates to their server-cell, and all adjacent ones (total of 9). Likely the player would only communicate with a single master server, which would in turn communicate with the 9 cells. - Even if space is subdivided, it doesn't prevent a large number of players from congregating in a small space. In fact, this will be the rule, as players will clump around jump gateways and stations, hang out with their org, or deliberately choreograph the biggest space battles evar. The subdivided cells would get so tiny that you're only 'see' a few hundred meters (an Idris 1km away wouldn't be in any of your adjacent cells, so you wouldn't see it). There would need to be a way to get some information about ships outside of your cells, even if it's just a position and ship type, to populate all the blips on your sensor screen. Also, in a busy place ships would constantly spawn and despawn as they enter or leave your cells, with a big initialization hit per spawn. - All this constant connecting, disconnecting, spawning, initializing needs to happen in a way that creates no lag spikes, stutters, framerate drops or physics glitches (to say nothing of disconnects or crashes). It needs to work perfectly, all the time, regardless of internet connection speeds or player's geographical locations. The combat is fluid, and there are harsh penalties for losing your ship or dying. An untimely lag spike could clip two capital ships into each other to vanish in a flurry of debris and two dozen angry spacewalkers, instantly wiping out thousands of man hours of grinding for credits, or even real cash. It sounds so ridiculous and so goddamn beautiful. This has to be made.

I don't fault people for generally not understanding networking, but how does this guy think all these machines move data between them, and does he know that there are limits in both speed and quantity? Do these people think EVE implements time dilation because they think it's fun? Also, the top half of that post describes WoW's cross-realm phasing tech. Have fun implementing that in an environment with physics that affect gameplay. Canine Blues Arooo fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Oct 30, 2017 |
