Everyone in CIG walked into it knowing that Cryengine couldnt do Star Citizen but its not like they had a choice in the matter. Given that Crytek was the only one that actually bothered to actually make the poo poo for them

After a few years. The project wasn't scoped or expanded upon with a Crytek engineer around saying, "No, really, PiP isn't a thing, nor can you even implement it at anything short of great cost" for example

Person2: "No, no-no-no. They did consult somebody, and what did they tell them?"
Person1: "Uhh I can't name names on that one, but yes. Close personal friend told them 'NO.'"

- CryEngine/Lumberyard development experience

- Havok, APEX/PhysX, Bullet, or other physics package experience


I hope they bought a licence for Havok...

e: Nice to see they're finally thinking about putting a physics engine in there, 6 years into development. I'm sure it'll go just about as well as putting MMO networking in, VR and pole vaulting.

I don't believe they have any intention of integrating Havok. It will break everything. The job posting is just listing those middleware in order to hire someone with a passing knowledge of how middleware physics engine work.

It's even funnier if you consider that people after still taking Star Citizen seriously. Chris certainly isn't. The developers certainly aren't. The only people who still care about this abortion and think it has a chance in hell of coming out are the backers who "will never know". It's particularly hilarious when you consider that they're disputing a basic verifiable fact sourced to Chris Roberts himself.

There is nothing left about Star Citizen that should be taken seriously. Chris is a joke. Derek is a broken clock. The rest of the staff stopped giving a poo poo and are just trying to collect a paycheck. The product is an unsustainable mess. The backers who are left have proven themselves to be insufferable fools who deserve to have their money wasted... assuming they're not paid shills.

There's no reason to counter their arguments. They don't care any more than I do about hearing about how great Star Citizen is. There's no reason to listen to anything CIG says; it's all lies with the sole purpose of exploiting the gullible. It's all a giant joke and the punchline is Chris's bank account.

Sounds like Person 1 is Mike Juliano, the Rogue System dev? Def lends weight.

I like this game! I missed the era of full flappy gums Chris, but somehow these two have become gems I treasure:

More than a decade, closer to two. And apparently he doesn't miss a day? He probably has a backlog for emergencies.
