i was really hoping that you know, after all the awards, all the money they probably made on this thing, they could have hired a few extra people and not re-do this same early access slow rear end development bullshit that if you participate at all, basically spoils the game for yourself. but gently caress a hover cycle on the snow? i mean, goddamn you developers, goddamn you for tempting me

But I'm still giving these jerks a loan for a promise. It worked out great the first time for all involved, so why can't they just take some of that money and just complete the product and release it. I'm not saying they won't deliver again, all signs point to yes, but aren't we essentially agreeing to forever fund this promise and time and time again have shown that usually it just ends in dissapointment. people get greedy and lazy with the free money.

haaaving said that, how much of the cool stuff in the trailer is in the current build? Because this game handled really terribly on foot, so I'm really wondering about all this above ground stuff in the trailer.

Think of that warm feeling of accomplishment that will wash over you the moment you have to actually do the in game things necessary for you to have them. Then realize that it is a single player game with zero intentions for being multiplayer.

that video linked is awesome. because it's such a simple thing, it's a space game, so 7+ years how is landing still a problem?!

The really funny thing with that video is that it's totally intemporal.

By that, I mean, it could've been recorded in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 or last week, there would be absolutely no way to know. Besides some UI changes maybe.

It's like the game hasn't progressed ( in terms of quality ) in 4 years.

Enchanted Hat posted:

I don't play this game, making universal rules and then sticking to them even if it doesn't make sense. I prefer to use judgement. Subnautica was a good game and the company did well by its backers, for the most part. Therefore if I feel like spending on another of their early access games, I will use that judgement to determine that it's more likely to go well than Fallout 76 did.

You can tell how great this approach has served me because Chris Roberts has some of my money.

On second thought, I will never buy an early access game again.

Counterpoint: how can you wait until a game is finished when a moron like Chris can't actually finish the game? Stalemate, goonie.

Early access for a game that was supposed to come out 5 years ago is entirely different, however, and worth the money for sure.

Hey childhood Foss bro! Somehow the library in my small Midwest hometown ended up with a couple of the Terran Trade Authority books. I’m still mystified as to how that might have happened- the books were Great Space Battles and Spacecraft 2000 to 2100 AD, I think- but I vividly remember checking them out over and over just to gawk at that art. The pictures were clearly not intended to match the fiction, which was not great even to my tiny 12 year old brain, but god drat that art was amazing.

Years later I discovered that the best of those paintings, the ones that I kept coming back to, and the ones that I remembered years later, were by this legendary Chris Foss dude.

Also :eyepop::

“Foss's numerous illustrations for the sex manual The Joy of Sex are done in a much softer, natural style. The illustrations were based on photographs taken by Chris in his studio in Fulham, London.”

Nggghhh...... he did the illustrations for The Joy of Sex?

Nope. Buy early access when you are sure the devs can deliver.

I bought the following games early access:

Subnautica
Fortnite: Save the World
Ark
Elite: Dangerous (beta)
Paladins

Plus probably some others. And each and every one delivered a loving awesome game that i thoroughly enjoyed.

You know which game i didn't back early access? Go on, take a guess.

Star loving Cretizen. Because i saw early on they were not going to be able to deliver on even half of what they promised.

Am i a loving prophet? Nope! I just have my eyes open.

All we need now for peak gaming fuckery and stupidity, is for Epic to try and make it so any game developed on Unreal engine, has to be exclusive to the Epic store.

Please, I almost want to see them try that so I can blow up in their face.

It seems Epic has already said they will be waiving any engine royalties for Unreal Engine games sold on the Epic store, which is probably a much better carrot than the stick of making them exclusive by force.

Guys! Quick!

I need a cumbersome engine based on 10 year old technology!

Some of my requirements are it has to crash a lot, be very slow, somehow maybe have 64-bit precision for some reason, and make pretty screenshots!

I need all the modules to be hacked in and barely functional! Player avatars need to be unreliable and often vanish into the geometry around them to catapult into death!

I need this fast anybody know where I can get that kind of technology?!!?

I think something everybody on CIGs engine wishlist is forgetting, beyond the broken engine that is nigh unusable, is that people license an engine to speed up a process of building an engine.

Licensing an engine and then still taking a decade to produce something barely an alpha is not something a logical company wants to do. At least if they want to stay in business.

I'm not sure the CIG lightning rod of money is tied to the terrible engine, but maybe I'm wrong and CryEngine is about to make a huge and sudden comeback.
