September Set 2Mailer posted:This is why it's too difficult to explain to people on the outside that this is a dumpster fire with less functional "game" than some 30-minute baby's first flash coding attempt thing on Newgrounds. It all sounds like hyperbole because there's no way anyone else would unleash this sort of nightmare while sitting on a funding figure quickly approaching 200 million dollars. If you manage to get through to them the exact state of things then they say "wow, what a scam" but are still not quite grasping that it's also a cult and people keep dropping $27k on jpegs even with all the knowledge of the last eight years. If Crobberts has done one thing on a grand, unprecedented scale it's creating a situation where it's too difficult to explain how lovely it is.

Sadly, any attempt i make to download the game, wont let me play.

So between Cyberpunk creating an immersive reactive city and Warframe creating multi-ship orbital battles is there a big list somewhere of "features Star Citizen promised" lined up with "the game that actually achieved this feature"? edit; wrong thread, darnit.

Dr. Kyle Farnsworth posted:I love how pissy even seem of the most optimistic backers are getting trying to keep those rose-colored glasses on their face. The Titanic posted:Q: can we get a functional game and a working flight model? Scruffpuff posted:They really do get pissy when the question is about something concrete like "making the game we paid for" and it gets dreamy and excited when the question is "fluff theorycrafting bullshit." The Titanic posted:Chris was upstaged by Double Damage, and when their poo poo tier game looks like it kicks Star Citizen's rear end, and they go after him directly in their marketing, and they also show over an hour of somebody actually playing the game; and people loving love it, he's going to up the score. G0RF posted:I think right now Chris is mad at everyone and everything and is operating under “I’ll show YOU!” logic. I think he’s in a different state of mind than in prior years. The Saddest Robot posted:Physics engine is a different beast since the game engine does retrieve values from it. So if you are taking 64 bit values, downgrading them to 32 bit, feeding those 32 bit values into the physics engine, pulling 32 bit values out of the physics engine, and promoting those 32 bit values back to 64 bit you are essentially losing almost all of the benefits of having 64 bit precision. You would end up with things like Kerbal Space Program's "Kraken", where things start wobbling/shifting around frame by frame. Or physics will become erratic and unpredictable. Virtual Captain posted:I spoke a little bit about this on the podcast but CIG does everything manually. So the simple act of re-sizing a level or 3d assets turns into a huge task for a number of reasons: ggangensis posted:And the best thing is: Even if the most productive thing she has ever done in her life was participating in tickle porn she still won't need to go to work again for a single day, even if CIG is long gone.

Private window says 10th Oct. My money's on a new spinoff of SQ42 that focuses on a hacking minigame involving matching three 'code icons' together in a line to solve that part of the hack and remove them from the play area. It'll crash repeatedly on the demo.

September Set 4Beet_Wagon posted:I've never really understood the "why are you even here" comments that happen in this sub a lot. Whether you believe in it or not, Star Citizen is an interesting phenomenon. It's the largest crowdfunded game of all time, and approaching the top budgets for any video games, marketing excluded. It is a dizzying array of huge numbers, from "promises made" to "poly count on a single asset" and of course there's the "90s gaming god come back to life" angle too. Pretty much any way you slice it - whether you're looking for schadenfreude or not - Star Citizen is an immensely interesting project space-X-chicken posted:You often hear that EvE is some sort of social experiment but INSIDE the game. sc is a social experiment OUTSIDE the game.

PederP posted:A short effortpost/rant about why it doesn't matter what optimizations and fixes they make: Zaphod42 posted:Yep. The architecture is simply wrong, and the people doing work are working at too low a level on one component to see that it won't really work all put together, at scale. TheAgent posted:chris didn't choose anything; he had friends aboard crytek (even their own legal council) and they made a demo for him for free, the only requirement is that he use and promote cryengine Scruffpuff posted:Lots of keyboard jockeys on this page that don't understand game development. Look, this is how it is: you make a ship, and if you have fidelity, then it's a ship in game. Do you follow so far? OK, so you have a ship, and fidelity, then you put in struts and rivets. Sometimes you take out a seat. And then the wings move, and there's smoke and dust somehow on a space deck in a vacuum, forget all that because fidelity and immersion. So far we're making a game, do you see? Then you put in more art assets. Sometimes you render a high resolution tongue and eyelashes and shoelaces - when you do that, that's how an FPS becomes more lethal and the gameplay flows from that fidelity. A Commando posted:FaceOverIP is enabled. posted:Do u guys freakin know what this freakin means? Foip will be the beginning of real movies created in the star citizen universe. Directors mode plus Foip is machinima creators wet dream! I'm excited!!! Beet Wagon posted:The posters that come in here and mock Star Citizen or poke fun at the biggest rubes among the backer base are doing it because they think it's funny, or because they're fed up with the project. Nobody - not even me, the 'refunds guy' - cares even the slightest bit about turning people off of the game, or converting backers into doubters. I'll say it again for good measure: nobody cares what anyone here does with their money or whether or not they support the game. The so-called 'refund cascade,' the 'FUD,' the whole lot of all that nonsense is wholly and completely the creation of the paranoid minds of /r/starcitizen. Hav posted:

Chris and CIG have secret knowledge and abilities that will bring forth unprecedented groundbreaking innovations that will not only form the most disruptive and popular video game ever, but deliver them into a Matrix like simulation of life in space without boundaries, in which they can leave behind all of their real world failings and social isolation and become powerful and respected space men living lives of adventure and fulfillment... and trains lots of trains.
