 What is Star Citizen, Honestly? Barely needed doing this. As GORF says, the original hasn't even pulled 100k views, and comments most places pointed out it didn't represent the game. Still, any excuse XD

It's so funny how SC fans keep referring to Cyberpunk as defence for SC's development time. As if saying "Cyberpunk took 8 years to make" makes SC look any better. It's just an example of another incompetent company releasing another broken game. There were these cyberpunk comments in the "What is star citizen" video again.

The same thing happened to No Man's Sky. For awhile it was held up as the reason CIG should not push out the game.

When you're not even CDPR and your team is full sail grads and artists... you get Star Citizen. Cyberpunk may one day be good, but I can't say the same for SC.

For a second I thought of the Hercules graphics card and it was even funnier. It wouldn't be the first hardware partnership to fall through due to development time making it obsolete...

i love the big digs at cyber punk, im not a dude to take a day off work for a game release but If SQ42 has a big release day across consoles, pc, and the world. I will take the day off work to both try play it and watch the release. I expect to crash to desktop and go to the forums full of people who bought the hype and are left with a CR game. Joe blobbers will pop into the comments to tell everyone it's still early days and get eviscerated. Unlike the 90's when our hack dropped his name into the credits of his last ''game'', he will live in 2025 where consumers want blood for bad releases. 15 years and 600 million dollars, this better be single malt smooth or CIG is going to get hung drawn and quartered. if this doesn't happen I still want to be around to see a 500 million dollar tumbleweed roll past to the sound of crickets.

I'm beginning to think SQ42 may never formally release, they'll just put it out as a test alpha thus shielding it from any real game review criticism.

"The people behind Duke Nuke didn't have to create *multiple* companies from zero, unlike CIG, and they also developed a single game, unlike CIG which is making two at the same time. And they are much more ambitious games with incredible amounts of fidelity you cuntiflas."

Everybody who suddenly explodes or dies being stream sniped sounds like a good next play. But up your game and make sure it was by Derek smart, and not necessarily in-game, but at a literal code level from the ingrained code saboteur taking orders from the big uncle. Got to make sure the narrative is strong and we stick to the story.

Of course. Crystal clear. Maybe they could try answering these questions using this format: Q: "What is 'iCache' and when does it go live?" A: "I don't know."

They are slowly converting more and more internal systems to iCache but the thing that players want most will likely not be added until server meshing is finished. There is still probably a year left before the important parts go online. Maybe EOY 2022 even.

Doesn't Fortnite still say it's a beta when you first open it up? CIG's totally going to do the same, if SQ42 ever sees the light of day.

Oh, and also they were careful to point out that this groundwork tier-0 version of server meshing that they know how to do won't have much visible effect on anything, so no one should have weird and unreasonable expectations in that regard. But that's probably okay. After all, one of the hallmarks of Star Citizen's ongoing development is announcing improvements that don't actually improve anything.

And the answer was, of course, YES! CIG knows exactly what needs to be done and they expect to finish it sometime next year...for, uh, the first part of server meshing, that is. Which is really just the groundwork that needs to be done to, um, have things set up for full server meshing, which they don't know how to do yet because, y'know, they need that groundwork done, but after that? Probably it'll be easy! No reason to worry about it! The T0 server meshing is somewhat simple. It's where each planetary zone is its own server instead of a single server for the whole star system. It only requires the ability to transfer players between servers whenever they quantum travel. The main benefit is reduced AI load on the server so it should help improve gameplay. No more enemy NPCs standing around while you shoot them because the server is utterly overwhelmed. I'm going to guess that CIG is going to stop after the static server meshing as their dynamic meshing goal is quite a bit more complicated and they may decide static meshing is "good enough".

I mean, at its simplest, all it is doing is having a different server keep a record of entities. And the big problem it will solve is not wiping player's ships when the server crashes. A server crash will erase your ship and all your cargo, which is why players avoid doing risky activities like hauling cargo or mining.

Probably it'll be easy! No reason to worry about it! Look at all this FUD. Think of all the things CIG has already implemented that have never been done before! * Internal Physics Grids! * 64-bit Engine Tech & Procedural Edge Blending, which FIXED EVERYTHING * Unified First And Third-Person Animations! * Face Over IP! * Item System 2.0!, which FIXED EVERYTHING * Procedural Food! * Serialized Variables, which FIXED EVERYTHING * Procedural Planets! * Procedural Planets, Again! * Procedural Planets, One More Time! * Network Bind Culling, which FIXED EVERYTHING * Render To Texture And Viewports! * Real Time Cloth Deformation! * Procedural Gas Clouds! * Object Container Streaming, which FIXED EVERYTHING * Subsumption AI! * Physically Based Rendering! * Signed Distance Fields! Now maybe it seems to you like this is years worth of bullshit that took years longer to add than single devs working out of their garages can do, and/or added useless complexity to an already bloated-beyond-belief project without bringing it one step closer to completion. You might even argue that many of these are not even visible at all in the final product! But may I add that these things also cost a shitload of money, and in many cases made the game actively worse to play! So suck on that, hater!

Quote this when server meshing t0 is in game and it fixes none of these issues.
