Ok thanks everyone! Hope you enjoyed this absolute snooze fest of a convention where we showed how little we've done in the past year.

I haven't really followed past conventions, but was this year significantly worse than the others? This felt really half assed and poorly attended.

Next year they'll announce they're pushing back the early access of the beta of the preview of the prologue of SQ42

You missed both a couple Ben mentions in the lore presentation and the stream having audio problems at the start. Still no bingo.

Yes it was worse than usual. Normally they promise the moon and the stars and sell outrageous dreams. This one was "safe"

This is like so unreal to me. Delay after delay and finally they say 2020 is the year, it's coming. No footage what so ever, how can anyone take them seriously?

What a dud, I wanted insane mind bending promises from Chris that would fuel the backers fever dreams. Instead it's just another boring star system that will somehow make their 50 player MMO fun.

Meanwhile, you could clearly see influences from TennoCon 2017 or something when they revealed their space combat plans.

Other than the wormhole, a segment two minutes too long for its own good, nothing in this demo looked original in the slightest.

They just don’t give a poo poo anymore, the whole thing was just like “whelp we ain’t got nothing but another empty planet, so give us more money you fucks so we can keep going for another year!”

They are really dialing it back and just getting everyone acclimated to their glacial drip feed of lovely content. There weren’t even any promises of it getting better in the future.

If you look close, they doubled up the Avatar just before jump and she kept moving the camera to hide the black out of the jump animation due to lovely contrast controls.
