trucutru posted:I yearn for the times where they had someone competent make little commercials for their wares. Nowadays we get about a dozen of still images and a bunch of people who should not be in front of a camera in front of a camera half-assedly speaking about how cool a lame cargo transport is. Just look at where it started, back in April of 2015. Adorkable Lisa Ohanian with a short, simple summary that felt rough around the edges but hardly like a full-court press on a non-stop sales pitch. A few pictures, some pipeline talk, and it's over in a little more than one minute. They added a title graphic a month or two later. Run time around 5 minutes. This is it today.  A half hour long. Extended discussions from various artists about gameplay futures that seem entirely outside of engine feasibility. Weirdo inside jokes aimed solely at the long timers and whales and likely to disorient and be off-putting to anyone casually checking out the episode. TYPE ON SCREEN: "Is this too much. Probably. But I don't care." Baby talk to grownups who know better: "A couple of months of what we call 'R&D'." The irony is that the winsome, authentic person of Ohanian inclined the viewer to trust the information given because it wasn't really a sales pitch. Yet today, the sales pitch lasts a half hour and stars a half dozen guys who serve the huge ship schlepping apparatus CIG has built up and normalized under Chris's leadership. A show that began and originally felt like a little update from an actual game studio now puts the macro transactional heart of their enterprise front and center, and blissfully unaware of how completely bizarre and offputting it is to those not completely given over to the collector theorycrafter compulsions that drive them further and further up their own arse and away from anything resembling what they once sort of were and always should've been. quote:Why would you bring 200 people to a battlefield when a) those 200 people own at least 200 ships and b) 200 ships are more effective than 200 people in pretty much any circumstance.

That's ten bonded EC2 'supercomputers' at least. 'Angels Fall First' is available and out there and playable and pretty much like Planetside II, but without the scale.

If you want to get somewhere else, you must code at least twice as fast as that!"

Some Citizens have some questions...quote:How the hell will bombing with MOABs work?? That is concerning feature creep to me. Will structures be impervious? Will you just die inside a structure that isn't destroyed? If they're planning destruction of structures that means an enemy bomber could level your whole settlement in one go from the upper atmosphere--and what is your defense other than a permanent combat air patrol? quote:I felt the same thing, like has this really been planned out? Don’t think. Spend. Believe. Repeat.

Frank_Leroux posted:Now that's just crazy talk right there. You nip that in the bud, hater. You raise a good point. Many, myself included, have implied that CIG is constantly changing the focus of their game in order to chase more money. After investigating all available evidence, I have concluded that I was mistaken in this assertion. CIG isn't pursuing money - they're evading their own ineptitude. The said they'd make a space combat game. They failed in every way. They said they'd make ship boarding and derelicts and FPS on ship levels all seamlessly blended. They failed in every way. Then they said they'd make a single-player game with all of those things. They failed in every way. Then they said they'd make planets that were both procedural and hand-crafted with more playable content than all of Skyrim in just one crater amongst what must surely be millions spread amongst moons, solar systems, etc. To say they failed would be quite the understatement. CIG is basically in a constant cat and mouse game with their own ineptitude. They say they'll work on something, they fail spectacularly, then quickly memory hole the event and pivot to the next thing. Rinse and repeat. The fact that each new thing just happens to be marketable with a new JPEG is just a happy accident. Remember when Star Citizen was a space game about space? I barely do.

Just a minor derail, but Twitter just mentioned that they had a bug which stored passwords unencrypted in some internal log, so you should all change your passwords. Now back to your regularly scheduled mocking of Clown Imperium Games.

Foo Diddley posted:"Well, in our company," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else—if you code very fast for a long time, as we've been doing." Love the classical reference. Here's one from more recently. It also points the way for CIG/RSI/whoever to extract even more cash out of their pool of whales. Once they have all of the mechanics of ground combat with tanks and infantry and such in place...  Yes, yes, I know....after that then they need to come up with ANOTHER class of spaceships which dispenses with all of that ground-pounding bullshit and bombards everything from orbit with tungsten rods accelerated to escape velocity. Throw in a few nuclear warheads to keep things interesting. You could call this ship class the 'Kutuzov'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mote_in_God%27s_Eye

Man, I miss Ryan Archer. He truly embodied the spirit of the project is a way that anybody could understand. Sadly, for some mysterious reason, his web presence vanished, like the dew. Here are his last words (of wisdom) quote:Many of you may not know that recently there has been some controversy centered around my artwork in general and especially that used on the presentation of the KickStarter for the Star Traders game which has recently funded. I know there are some people who have been very upset by this.
