Zazz Razzamatazz posted:What was this again? Nick Elms, the creative director at CIG is the Manchester connection in this entire mess. He previously founded Embryonic which was later sold and rebranded as TTFusion, and is how Erin ended up making Lego games for a living. And before that, he founded Warthog Games which worked with Erin and Digital Anvil on Starlancer. Warthog was sold to Gizmondo and went on to produce legendary games such as 'Sticky Balls'. Then Gizmondo was outed as a scheme by the Swedish Mafia, leaving the business $300m in debt. The most memorable thing about Gizmondo was the tale of Stefan Eriksson (you should really read his wiki) and the mysterious man 'Dietrich' that crashed his Ferrari.

CaressMeGently posted:Rumours coming out of CIG Manchester that their QA team haven't been paid this month. Going on previous experience this is usually the start of the end - QA get boned first before other departments due to the perception that they are the most expendable. I thought their QA team was the horde of backers who pay to be QA people.

So why not improve them with that dreamy face? That's the real reason

Whales slowly begging to wonder who exactly is going to man their big ships when people obviously prefer flying their own ships. I'm not sure, but without a ship, i think the obvious thing to do is to sneak on a ship, shoot the pilot in the head, and steal the ship.

Elite is BAD because players can't leave their ship. Star Citizen will be GOOD when there are players who don't even have a ship.

3 months delay? Do these guys know nothing about Star Citizen that is downright hyper optimistic. CIG delays come in years, not months. The games media is parroting CIG's spokeshole, meanwhile the thread's latest rumor is that Chris is scrambling and an engine switch may come into play. Wonder which is closer to reality his nibs posted:Game development didn't start until in the future

As for the switch of engine and trying to take advantage of Stadia, that is not likely to happen. Part of ensuring a good launch for the platform is a positive player experience. Games that have intrinsic instability will poison a user's perception of the platform as a whole. For example, if someone was unfamiliar with both products and decides to try Stadia and they foray into SC and have dozens of crashes within the first hour then that player will conflate the problems of SC as problems of Stadia and be less interested in adopting the platform. So until Stadia has a large and stable player base I would not expect SC to make an appearance, and probably not even then.
