I'm really looking forward to your long and delusional screed on the subject of how SSOCS (or whatever made up term for mundane video game tech is the flavor of the week) will be coming in current year plus one and will allow for the game to finally come together with the launch of the secret dev build in current year plus two!

Server Mesh technology... is amazing.

And all the polygons and vertices are also coding genius. Each texture lovingly produced.

I am predicting CitizenCon will have nothing of substance to show backers, and that is when things are really going to start to go downhill for the project and funding. I still believe though that once funding starts to dry up, is when CIG will be forced to actually get its act together and put out a finished game.

I believe in sandworms.

But really it could be anything. I for one am still holding out for:
1: Giger Aliens
2: The space station with the murderous AI and lovingly cute voice
3: More life-sim stuff!

The best part about Squadron 42 is how nobody really wants it and everybody is invested in the mmo side with building out their own character.

If only CR got this memo 5 years ago.

Enjoy your single player romp through a Chris Roberts story of war set in a game trope that was tired by the late 90's!

They're going to bring what they have: nothing. And I mean that sincerely - they're going to double-down on that nothing. They're going to show nothing, and they're going to lean in on it hard, in this fashion:

"You'll notice we're not showing anything at this year's citcon - and you can all guess what that means!" **deafening cheers** "We have been working hard behind the scenes to bring this game closer to completion than ever before, so close in fact that to show you anything would be spoiling the incredible surprise that's just around the corner! *more cheers**

"Do you want a hint?" **YEAH** "Are you sure you want a hint??" **YYEEAAHHH** --Ship sales come up on powerpoint featuring ships that do not exist, will never exist, promising new gameplay that does not exist, will never exist--

Has it already been a year since they introduced the pocket carrier thing?

Is there another pocket carrier they can unveil?

Maybe they can remember how awesome it was when the Idiris was in the game once that nobody saw or played?

I think they should just go down their twitter hits of "remember when" and get everybody feeling nostalgic like they not only already played the game and beat it, but also remember it fondly like the classic it is.


And then they introduce the Kickstarter for Star Citizen 2!

Also, someone showed me the giant Yacht thing and.....
Is it me , or does that thing's interior kinda look like crap?
I don't know if its graphics catching up, to the fidelity the "tier 0 yacht interior", or the fact that those luxury ivory white iphone ships just look kinda low quality, across the board , but those space yacht rooms look legit bad. I'm not a graphics whore, but still...
I mean, Star Citizen's only big defining feature was "what if the vehicles had detailed interiors?" But..... it just isn't. It looks just a bit better than my base in Subnautica.

Nah, that's the GOG re-release.
They can't remaster Cataclysm, they lost the source code for it, and they'd need to basically re-make the game from scratch.

I remember the drink mixing thing, but I had forgotten about how insane the server blades thing was.

How poo poo is the tech in their in-game lore that it's even worth considering how to repair this crap? I'm just imagining a current-day airplane having someone go pop open a server rack while in-flight to solder a connection or manually playing a musical clip (?????) to calibrate the audio output.

What even is a "burned-out unit", are their server blades regularly catching on loving fire?

That was one thing I'm glad for these days. I can't tell you how upset I was when all of our server racks were constantly ablaze when one went out and caught on fire and exploded.

I find it very funny that CIG continues to "attend" all the big game conferences by setting up a tent in a parking lot across the street because they don't actually have anything to show off.

It's the equivalent of standing next to someones Porsche in the parking lot pretending you're about to get in.
