If the chapters were all around 70-80% on that chart, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and assume Covid hosed the timing and it's a "normal" 2020 delay, like many other games have had But ~30% or so for the vast majority of chapters, and 5 still at 0%? Squadron 404 is certainly a prophetic nickname

ErrEff posted:Anthem: Ambitious and promising, flew too close to the sun and was killed in it's cradle by the cabal of evil publishers Didn't expect to see someone going to bat for Anthem. As someone who worked indirectly on Anthem (and did actually play through all the content) there wasn't a whole lot there. There was a glimmer of a fun game visible if they hadn't hosed up the entire looting part of their looter shooter, but even the best case there it would've still been a fairly unimaginative game, just well-executed. Combine that with the entirely pointless hub town, the flight mechanic that didn't really fit in properly, and the enormous development time for the small amount of content... The fact that it released at all was a mistake. Patrick Soderlund should have cancelled it in 2017.

I mean in the time they made tier 0 of one system indie companies made whole games, there never was any real reason. I'll bet another X Game will happen before anything got to beta

Chris is no longer promising anything or giving timelines, it'll be ready when it's done. But first it'll be tier 0, so don't expect it to be complete.

Real talk: Do you guys think SQ42 ever releases? And, if so, what that release looks like? I honestly don't think it will. I think the best we can hope for is a 1/4 finished leaked dev build you have to compile yourself.

I'm in the "lol nope they will never voluntarily release" camp, but if it does, it'll basically be the Anthem of single player space shooty; probably looks nice initially, but lol no content as they spent all the time refactoring the same mess hall scene, and not actually making missions to completion | Chapter 02 | Squadron 42 | [0%]

Sarsapariller posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI2NesSK4hU It never ceases to be amazing, in a world where simulators like DCS exist, that they can call this a simulation of any sort when when the ships move like they are in a 3D model editor like Max or Maya and the user is playing with the axis rotators and imagining how cool this model will look in their movie/game. Nearly a decade of development of their space game and the space ships are still like an afterthought in the video game.

Trillhouse posted:Real talk: Do you guys think SQ42 ever releases? And, if so, what that release looks like? I think some day there'll be a desperate scramble to slap something playable together and call it Squadron 42, just to get it out the door before the lights go off. It'll be bad space missions strung together with bad cutscenes that go on way too long because they're jamming as much of Chris's awful script and interminable mocap in as they can manage, and a lot of jankiness. I don't think they're at the desperate scramble stage yet, but who knows? I wouldn't be surprised if literally no one at CIG has even a vague guess about what's been done, what needs to be done, how much time they need, or how much time they have left. After all, it's the most open development ever, so when nobody outside can tell how close to 'finished' things are, it can only mean that nobody inside can tell, either.

Not that CIG will ever get to the actual realism of DCS, there are tons of games out there that aren't big names that also have movement that looks like it wasn't phoned in. CR: Perfectionist.  But hey, look at the polygons in those models. I guess that's important. And I guess you can just take screenshots and make captions about how awesome it was. Never show Star Citizen in motion. Stick to the jpegs guys and girls. It will help with the lie.

I think they’ll scrape together what they can of the first episode to release- call it episode 1 A or something. (That’s if they don’t announce an engine change)

The Titanic posted:I'm still thinking they'll just eventually post a YouTube of the cinematics and call it a day. Yeah, I can see them trying to spin Sq404 as the "Star Citizen Cinematic Universe" as a series of videos and use it as the basis for a kickstarter and new company to continue the grift. Star Citizen Adventures Machinima (SCAM) will combine cinema and gameplay in the first AAAA "Choose your own adventure" title aimed at 40+yo game dads with Mark Hamil, Gary Oldman, Sandi Gardiner and John Rhys-Davies letting you live out your fantasy commanding the imperial fleet against the The PU will be repackaged as Tour The 'Verse, where you can fly to iconic locations and take screenshots or ride a train.

I’m pretty sure they could scrap the entire walking/mess hall simulator pieces of SQ42, string several arena commandos scenarios together with the acted cutscenes and call it a day. That could be their entire plan B if funding starts drying up. So yeah, I believe SQ56 will come out one way or another.

I would think that if sq42 ever got a release, a week later Roberts would have a new kickstarter going with the premise this time he'll really be able to make the game of his dreams.

He'll pull a Richard Garriott with SotA where one day someone notices he's no longer listed as the CEO of the company and when questioned he'll insist he never really was the CEO but he's still heavily involved with the project. Then a year later he'll sell the company off to some super fan for peanuts, the player base will continue to dwindle as they never actually improve the game but just keep adding cash shop items for purchase.

I'm calling FUD on this one you old rust bucket - have you seen the latest NASA vid of Ingenuity on Mars, it moves in a totally no clip way so what I'm saying is, Chris Roberts is way ahead of science on this one. Also, Ingenuity's chief pilot is called Håvard Fjær Grip, and if that's not the name of someone who should be wearing an eyepatch and four jackets while t-posing on a desk on Hurston, I don't know what is.

It tuned out that a contractor working on the pipelines used copper in them - as well all know, Star Citizen is so advance it's only weakness is copper! Don't worry though, Ben is investigating how this happened and Chris is personal remaking them, it'll be done in years not decades.
