There was a good classic Chris moment during the demo, when he was talking about special spacesuits made for your spaceman to survive the cold of Microtech. Like a planet with an atmosphere capable of supporting life can get colder than the vacuum of space, so you need an even warmer spacesuit to survive on it. Chris once again shows off his kindergarten level of science knowledge.

I'm not sure if it was a doubling up on the character or just a fuckup in the distortion vfx on the wormhole, but it was definitely weird

How can you not take a genuine look at what this is, a quarter billion dollars and 7 years, and not realize this is in no way acceptable? Like I read the Reddit for 5 minutes and the deep pit of delusion these people are in is blowing my mind. I don't know if it is incompetent management or a long scam, but what does it matter at the end of the day when there are no results? Jesus Christ

colonelwest posted:There was a good classic Chris moment during the demo, when he was talking about special spacesuits made for your spaceman to survive the cold of Microtech. I got you on this one - although I'm sure Chris doesn't know either. Heat can only transfer via conduction (physical contact), convection (gaseous contact), or radiation (very slow, almost attrition approach.) Space isn't "cold" per se - it has no temperature at all. If I heated up a rock and put it out in space, 15 minutes later it would still be warm. There's literally nowhere for the heat to go. What makes a planet cold is the temperature of the atmosphere. If it's -100 degrees, and you walk your rear end out into it unprotected, the heat in your body, via convection, instantly departs to attempt to reach equilibrium with the surrounding temperature. The effect of objects with fluidity freezing in space is due to the actions of liquid in a vacuum. Liquids "boil off" in a vacuum, which is a reaction that runs off heat, leaving the object it boiled off (like a person) cold or frozen. Again, Chris does not know this poo poo.

MedicineHut posted:Where is SQ42? They raised $46 million to market the launch next year. But they don’t want to give away spoilers. Big takeaways? The first completely Sandi-free CitizenCon. Blame Forbes and Bootcha for doing Derek Smart’s secret bidding. You bastards! Now she’s left only with millions upon millions to show for all the work she pretended to do. Her next mission? Become Hollywood’s most aggressive stage mom as she and Chris push the kids to follow in her footsteps. (That Chris didn’t even mention it seems especially strange but I’m not sure her absence will be mourned except by the Boo Huxleys out there...) Chris’s wrap-up. Have you ever seen him so gracious? He went to greater pains than usual to thank employees and customers. Unlike last year, which saw the Level Documentary and a lot of costly hype at their biggest venue ever, this courted outsiders not one bit. Cherish what you have, Chris — they got you further than you deserve! No Squadron. No mentions. No updates. No nothing. The Adventure Ahead Some beautiful stuff, truly, but drat this is the sloggiest gameplay vision ever. The verse just feels big beautiful and dead. Despite what Tony prattled about it feels like the AI you’ll be experiencing in game is just other players doing whatever they want. Sometimes. For those who want a high fidelity, low fun simulator built around macrotransactions, this sorta might fit the bill one day. But drat what a wasted opportunity. This was a pretty dull year of treading water. Targets constantly missed and fun still in short supply. They doesn’t look like it changes with the addition of Pyro, whenever that happens. Seeing the wormhole navigation actually sort of following Chris Olivia’s mockups from 2014 only reminded one that “try to not to fall out of the tunnel” is only slightly less boring than 20 minute travel times. I don’t believe their linear customer growth modeling at all. Still feels like 2016 was the peak of customer growth and maybe Chris figured that out by 2018. They’ve at least stopped using gimmicks like Sandworms to juice the excitement. Now it’s “if you drop a coffee mug on a planet and leave it’ll stay where you left it for a long time.” This felt like a desperate and defeated fan hangout. Even if those attending had a blast.

So I finished watching the presentation. What was your favorite moment ? Mine was during the escape when he chocked a guard to death, left the corpse on the doorway in the field of view of 3 running guards that conveniently ignored it.

Goddamnit that was so loving fake. They even admitted that it's all done for the sake of the demo, since the "temperature system" doesn't work for hot temperatures, only for cold ones I'm so glad I only caught the tail end of the presentation. I loving laughed out loud when the karate move ragdolled the guy across the room. I almost fell asleep during the totally original, not ripped off The Force Awakens turret shooting section - getting to the turret was more exciting, cause we weren't sure that nothing will clip through and kill the player. But the most baffling thing is how far away all of this is! Like they've been talking about stuff that's coming out in the next 7 months! Any other convention would have stuff coming out next week tops! And some other thing to show today! I know that in the Star Citizen development lifecycle this is actually very close but it boggles the mind all the same.

colonelwest posted: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!” Funny and ironic is that buying more ships is completely rewriting everything of the past. The goal of spending now is helping CIG to stretch development more years. Originally we come from the poll that asked if backers wanted additional stretch goals in exchange for releasing the game "sooner rather than later". Finally there is one very important element – the more funds we can raise in the pre-launch phase, the more we can invest in additional content (more ships, characters etc.) and perhaps more importantly we can apply greater number of resources to the various tasks to ensure we deliver the full functionality sooner rather than later. Spending more money was an argument for releasing everything FASTER. This is a scam.

No wait gently caress that, the most baffling thing is that we have just seen one mission for the MMO. One! And this is supposed to be the "simple" stuff, like "bring me four bear asses" in WoW stuff! This took so long in preparation and execution, what the hell are they thinking? It probably pays out like poo poo too, goddamn.

Nyast posted:So I finished watching the presentation. Mine was star of the show, Glenn. Honorable mentions to twitch chat railing on him for using a controller, staring at his feet, moving too slowly, not paying attention to Chris who wanted him to look out a window, struggling with the UI to pick up and put things down. But it has to be when the UI completely bugged out and he was fumbling around pushing all the buttons and Genius Chris strode over telling him to press the I button, then leaning over the keyboard to push the I button himself because loving Glenn, amirite? Only for the I button not to work and Chris to waddle off. I think someone in the audience told Glenn to toggle the mopyglass because the only people that have ever attempted to actually play the game were paying audience members.
