People on /r/games are loving INTO the Squadron 42 trailer.

This fella seems to be especially into it, calling it the next Mass Effect. Shame he's not exactly familiar with CIG's scheduling though...



Yeah, six months of polish is all this turdburger needs to come out...

E: holy gently caress that ZenMaster video. This game looks so bad. The flight model looks awful, the gunplay doesn't look fun in the least. All they have are graphics and even those aren't THAT great.

People who know nothing about SC, can be easily impressed by just a trailer, and don't look too hard for actual gameplay could be impressed by the trailer.
Backers who are desperate to justify the cash they dropped on this pile also have to be impressed, whether they like it or not.

Both these groups of people deserve the steamin' dump they will eventually get. If ever.

6 months for CIG to put in all the planets, stations, ships, get the tech working, and more..... because S42 depends on a lot of tech and assets from SC.

If SQ42 releases as a decent game in 6 months, ill eat a pie. I like pies.

However, maybe these walking around videos and cutscenes are preparing everyone that SQ42 will not be much of a space sim, but more of a playable movie with riding trains and walking around. Perhaps some space bits with dogfights in limited areas, with no free roam... hmm, that might be a bit more realistic.

Who is tracking funding by the way? How does today's sales compare with those of previous years?

boviscopophobic posted:

Citcon revenue update and comparison to previous years.

Usually I mark the start time of the sale by looking for a very obvious upward spike in funding. For this year, there was a small spike at 16:05 UTC right at the start of the con, and a larger spike at 19:30 UTC which presumably marked something becoming available. To forestall any possible objections from Citizens I have presented revenue plots for 2018 using both start times.



It's too early to call it right now, but we might need to release the Kraken posthaste.

Looks like FacewareTech's twitter abruptly stopped posting hype tweets about their tech and switched to two equally stupid shilling tweets for Crobbear's Con before finally shutting the hell up. Probably due to the fiasco that FOIP was during the demo.

Also as far as videogame mecha/jet mercenary campaigns go, I'm getting a kick out of the mercenary campaign for Nato Fighters 5, which requires Strike Fighters 2, and replaying Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries, which is still a masterpiece.

Still doesn't mention that CIG already (last December) made the promise to release the roadmap early 2018. And then they didn't, because Crobbear absolved himself.

This joke is already a year old.

It's amazing how little interest in SQ42 there is. Only 11,000 watched the Livestream, and the Trailer has racked up only 90,000 views since it was released.

In contrast, the Cyberpunk footage was watched by 300,000 people live, and racked up millions of views in it's first 24 hours.

Except, of course, that it's not a release date for a release date. It's a release date for yet another "roadmap", which will turn out to be every bit as disconnected from reality as all the other roadmaps have been.

Based on the number of cartoon fans around here. I agree.


Haven't seen the keynote or any of the discussions from CitCon yet, but the two ship commercials were very well done.

I wasn't expecting the one for the Kraken to be that entertaining.

So in addition to higher-level ships having higher prices (which is reasonable), it is more inefficient to grind for them even on a proportional basis. One might almost say that this confers an advantage to those who purchase ships with cash -- almost as if, in some sense, they were able to PAY in order to WIN. :thunk:

Presumably your ability to obtain spacebux will increase with bigger ships, so the curve won't be linear. However just knowing the ballpark of what a ship costs destroys the value of purchasing money from CIG. Gold farmers rejoice.

It's a slickly produced pre-rendered trailer. Looks nice, but it's not indicative of the final game is it?

LMK what you think of it. IMO, there's some nice graphics on display, but the lack of gameplay is crippling. It also showed no progression, at all, from previous demos from the past few years.
