Sq42 is really their only hope at this point. a release on next gen consoles that could push ten million plus units would save the company. I don't expect that announcement at this year's citcon, but deffo in 2020.

you obviously need to continue to milk these stupid rear end pc players for everything they have so you can finally get to where the richest of all money is at: consoles and the mobile market

Sabreseven posted:It'll continue like this for quite some time yet. It's literally a really dumb 'groundhog day' style scenario, we are all just turning up every day to see the little bastard pop his head out, but it never does. that is exactly how i feel each day reading this thread another thing: someone mentioned the funding tracker and how it only goes up and up. on the other hand the seats during citcon are less and less each year. the thing that i am eager to see most is how many people will be there. iirc last year there were many empty seats.

They’ll always just endlessly move the goal posts. On the one end, you can always count pre-production times all the way back to when a game was first vaguely spoken of in a corporate pitch meeting. On the other, you can just say that S.C. was only really in development since some arbitrary point when CIG hit X number of employees, or the scope ballooned.

The sheer number of times the "citizens" in those reddit threads seem to lose all self control and yell something along the lines of "insecure little brat" to just about anyone who doesn't conform to the "shower CInotG with constant praise" mantra, makes me think maybe, just maybe, they are very broken people. I honestly, at this point, am not sure to point and laugh at them, or just feel a tremendous sense of pity watching them cling to an unfinished computer game as if it's the best thing the world has ever seen. I'd say it was a massive waste of humanity to see them so angry at everyone who have different views over a computer game, but then in comes Mirificus reminding me that; gently caress those dumbass "Star citizens", if they haven't worked out what a joke/parody CR/CInotG is by now then there's no helping them.

Red Dead 2 only entered full-time production in 2013, when GTA V shipped. A game full of gratuitous time-wasting details like heat-sensitive horse balls and 200+ unique animations, and it still shipped and turned a profit.

Fantastic game made by incredibly competent people. I think I read somewhere that it had earned itself nearly 200 games/entertainment industry awards during it's first few months after releasing. Then I also remember CR making the incredibly dumb statement that "maybe Rockstar could match CIG for quality" and then I just about piss myself laughing.

Fidelitious posted:I think that's why space games are best handled by not really allowing you to do anything "on-foot" on planets. Conceptually it's a cool idea to expand beyond "you're a spaceship" to "you're a person in a spaceship" but it creates expectations for on-foot content that are almost impossible to meet. I can imagine some really tightly-controlled on-foot segments for set-piece story segments or ship boarding actions or something but what value is really added by letting you walk around a "living" city vs. quickly accessing quests from people via menus? This, except you're using CryEngine which is designed for great first and third person games and not huge space fighting. Then as you go along you realize there are not a lot of tutorials on how to do a space game but reinventing an FPS game in an FPS engine turns out to be pretty simple. Your staff is comprised of professional artists and college kids working to get a CS or MIS degree. The result is a pretty fantastic looking game (back in the day), and amazing marketing renders and photoshops, combined with janky at best gameplay that is plagued with horrible bugs that likely will never be fixed because nobody has that kind of skill or knowledge on the team.

The only Cryengine game I've beaten is Prey and its art-direction is far more notable than anything technical it accomplishes with the engine. Since CIG isn't making another System Shock they're down one potential customer. I have no idea how that open-world peasant game fared on the engine. I didn't buy it because I found its developers rather suspect politically, and because it has a lovely save-system. I have no idea why it was such a priority to add FPS gameplay first thing to a space-sim. It's not a unique loving selling-point that you can run around and shoot people in this universe. Warframe didn't try experimenting with the Guitar Hero minigame until after they polished the whole robot-ninja gameplay. I also meant to say there's 200+ unique animations for skinning alone in Red Dead 2.
