If crobbelz made the next Madden NFL offering, the fidelity doctrine would dictate that someone come to your house and hit you with a baseball bat for maximum concussion immersion. It's me, the sports joke in a games thread.

Scruffpuff posted:3.0 is irrelevant - it's just another inevitable consequence of the mistake they made in 2015 when they released what they called "2.0" - a cynical ploy to prove a "game" existed and an excuse to begin denying refunds. The cancer released to the PU two years ago is simply continuing to advance through its stages. Part of what keeps me coming back to Star Citizen is trying to find out if it was a just a fake demo or really the best they could come up with. I wanna believe it was just a hollywood set and there was a plan to make an online game but the longer this fire burns to more apparent it becomes they just keep on adding bits onto the CryEngine demo level shown in the kickstarter. Granted they did manage to add a nice bit with the seamless space -> moon landing.

These also mirror my own professional opinion as somebody who is Chris Roberts secret confidant whom he whispers sweet nothings to in my ear while also slapping me in the face with wildly gesticulating hands.

Here's something that's going to be interesting to watch in the time between now and March. Star Citizen has little to no actual gameplay in 3.0, and with that lack of gameplay is going to come a pivot, embracing the exact things that the citizenry condemn Elite for. This is a good example. This dude loves space trucking, which isn't the problem in and of itself (it's 99% of what I do when I can be bothered to fire up Elite) but look at the way he describes it. Everything underlined in red is either the exact same mechanic from Elite (but described in a way that makes it seem more than it is) or something that straight up doesn't actually happen in SC (AFAIK you don't have to 'request' a pad at Port Olisar and instead are just automatically given a couple to select from when you switch to landing mode). How do you differentiate the process of plotting a route from that other, better spacegame? Simple: flowery prose pointing out "I didn't have to use a menu," who cares if it's true or not.

There's a lot that could be done with Madden covers and the Madden curse. Madden 175M Edition with a dumb Roberts in a slow bus helmet as running back or whatever on the cover.

"So there I was hauling 5000 sexbots from <vaguely racist sounding planet name> to <planet name that could also be that of an accounting professor>. I was about four (real time) hours into the mission when I was jacked by pirates. They made me unload all of my cargo (one at a time), blew up my ship, and then took me hostage. I spent the next four weeks (real time) confined to an in-game cell before I was able to trade my LTI ship respawn for my freedom." That is a thing that sounds fun to someone who presumably has a real life job and income that was used to purchase access to Time Sink the game

If citizens were shown elite with all the branding removed and told it was the next sc patch, they would jizz themselves while proclaiming it to be Game of the Century. But because it's elite, it's a "mile wide, inch deep" and other nonsense. Someone should stream themselves playing Elite, all the while claiming it to be a leaked internal build of sc 3.1 that is totally coming out in March or whenever.

The hilarious bit is a lot of people set up voice commands via an outside program very quickly on in Elite. Maybe SC has it internally, which is cool and all, but definitely lifted from streamers in Elite's beta days. Incitatus posted:I too play video games so that I can watch DVDs. I've been known to surf the forums while exploring in ED. It gives me something to do. I know a decent amount of the F1 thread participants also play Euro Truck Simulator, and a lot of them went on record that they listen to podcasts and such while playing. Mind you that game requires a bit more focus than ED but the fact remains.

A Neurotic Corncob posted:Chris has made a rare appearance on his weird discord knock-off in order to provide the base with some fresh talking points for the new year. I don't know what the hell to make of "a batch updating [physics] model". That seems ultra dumb because what happens when the batch is delayed by the rest of the client going slow. Objects stop moving? lol Probably more addressing the symptoms instead of the problem. Funny part is backers think this all makes sense when CIG start talking about threads.  'The client is drowning in 2000 physics calculations a second so the game runs slow' 'Batch up all the physics calculations and run any new ones every tick' 'The batch takes 3 seconds to complete whenever two ships run into each other now. Sometimes gravity is off when the client is too busy for a physics update' '...'

I'll be the first to admit if Chris Roberts took in a hundred and sixty million dollars to make an online space game and emerged several years later with a massive lawsuit over his game engine and the cure to loving cancer I'd still want to know how the gently caress we got from point a to point Cancer.

Objects stop moving? lol All of his "solutions" in "various stages of progress" are fundamental early-stage design decisions, meant to be built into the engine from the beginning, and are problems already solved by other developers. I guess to be a visionary it's necessary not only to be the last person to come up with a solution to a problem, but also to be so blind that you can't see that it was solved decades ago.

I feel strongly—as in my spiritual scam sense—that they must either be pumping the funding tracker to prime false interest in the project and bait more whales, or the ship sales are a vehicle for a laundering scheme of some kind, or both

Why do people keep giving Magic Leap money? quote:Magic Leap, an augmented reality company that has never shipped or even shown a product, has just gotten a $502 million investment on top of its nearly $1.4 billion in existing funding. The round is led by Singapore holding company Temasek, and includes major existing investors like Google, Alibaba, and J.P. Morgan Investment Management.

Easy answer: to Olds, what Magic Leap is peddling looks just as plausible as Oculus did a couple years ago and that took off real big and will probably define an entirely new market some day. It turns out that investors are really bad at understanding technology. Which just goes to show you exactly how blatantly fraudulent CIG must appear, that nobody's stepped in to fund them yet.
