It'll be a Sony exclusive on console. All the focus has been on SQ42 this year and the PU exists only to sell ships and assets from now on.

The movie thing is new though and possibly a troll but who the hell knows.

Star Citizen was pretty much done according to Lando at the beginning of the year. Chris presented the MVP slide at Citizencon. They've been trying to tell everyone all year, SC is on the backburner from here on out.

That's why the astroturfing is about how great and fun SC is *right now* over the last few months.

They still haven't hired AI but just like the flight model that'll be for SQ42 first and foremost until they do whatever they're going to do with the PU networking.

Star Citizen is and was a vehicle for Chris Roberts return to Holywood and he is risking the whole company to do so.

Out of curiosity, have you fought any of the alien stuff? Is it add some sort of direction for the universe or is it still largely a background thing most of the games universe seems to ignore?

Supposedly they've added alien combat zones for system takeovers, but haven't seen or heard of em, so I'm assuming they're bugged.

Fighting the goids is fun though. It doesn't add some grand direction to the game at the mo, and needs some grind to get the good kit, but they're tough, and fun to take on in a group.

Scruffpuff posted:

It's amazing to me - in the actual correct use of the word "amazing," not the current common use of the word to describe some kind of food someone took a picture of and shared over social media ("Having an amazing poo poo after eating too much Taco Bell") - that these people are bending over backwards to avoid the following realization:

- Chris Roberts is a very, very bad game developer (arguably not one at all)
- Chris Roberts has very, very bad ideas (if he can be said to have any at all)
- Chris Roberts is a very, very bad leader who cannot finish projects

Now, the above tenets are not hard to prove - his entire history lays it bare. You can load a "game" he worked on and see the poo poo right on the screen. You can see the same thing in Star Citizen.

These people are attempting to disassemble reality itself, on the atomic level, and recreate it before they'll admit those three simple truths. Truths that explain literally everything about this project, from inception to current day.

Why are these people defending this fraudulent shitstain? What makes him so magical? It's really no different than Ben collecting worthless, literal garbage if it has a Wing Commander logo on it. It's almost like Chris Roberts himself is a mental illness, in his own category. Will future versions of DSM-5 have new chapters dedicated to Chris Roberts?

What the gently caress is going on here?

Beautiful aint it?

I mean it.

It's beautiful. It's beautiful, it is a gleaming gem of stupidity in the pyrite of idiocy that is the internet. I witness as the most fuel inefficient bush fire in the heart of kickstarter has thrived and I can't help but place a marshmellow on a stick and waft it goonily.

It's worth unpacking this a bit; why can't someone play another game? Right now ED is like $7 or something ridiculous, people spend more money on lunch so there's no objective reason someone who claims to have spent hundreds of dollars, a sum of no object to them.

...

It's very sad to see this of a loving video game though.

The superego screams, "There are other games!"
The ego bellows, "There is only my immersion!"
The id burps, "Hairy Roberts."

It's less "quality" and more "technical requirements"-- things like "making sure you don't have debug-only dev system calls in your final release that you're relying on" and "the save file created isn't excessively large", in addition to aforementioned load screen duration. You can still release absolutely stinkers of a game, console makers don't really care, they just don't want your game literally crashing the console itself.

He’s actually right about that one, though.

Also, a Chris-mas poem:



Breaking More Vows As I Move to Consoles
BY CHRIS ROBERTS

Whose vows were these? I think I know.   
They’re used to how I break them though;   
They will not mind me lying here   
So I can rake in yet more dough.

My wife would hardly think it queer   
That lies earned all the money here   
I also love their sound, you know?
They ring like sleigh bells in my ears.   

She gives her credit card a whirl   
And autodials the dealer near.   
Today she’ll take her Porsche in pearl   
They love their “911 girl”.   

I’ve money still I want to make,
So I have promises to break,   
And console cash sounds pretty great,   
And console cash sounds pretty great,

It's just not the video game everybody expected, rather it's the ongoing, endless marketing campaign which has so far raked in over 200M and made several people rich and set for life.
