Kosumo posted:I think it was then that the next CitizenCon stream was going to be paid to watch because they where going to have to hire a real company to produce it. This was another bit of great drama. They announced that you'd need to pay to watch their CitCon livestream, and backers got angry about it, so CIG canned that idea and released some passive-aggressive statement about how they were going to hire a production company and it would have been an awesome stream, but since cheapskate backers don't want to pay for it, guess it'll have to be the usual garbage.

:o I wish I knew all the development studios dying to get their hands on a Frankenstein version of CryEngine. Even without mods that make it completely broken, I'm not sure the out of the box CryEngine is exactly brimming with studios tripping over their feet to get to use it.

AndreTheGiantBoned posted:Where is that gif from? Here’s a better version showing how quickly her expression changed. Better still would be if it had the second afterwards when they finally cut away to her two subordinates with their jaws on the floor. Sandi’s probably my favorite character in the TV movie version in my head. Ben’s probably 2nd, both deeply flawed but interesting and not really responsible for much other than taking advantage of the situation. Chris and Derek would really depend on how good the actor playing them is.

I can't really imagine anyone other that Samuel L. Jackson for Derek, he'd bring the over the top bombastic attitude that role requires. Chris would be nearly impossible to cast - lots of movies feature complete bumbling idiot characters, but very few of them have no charismatic or funny qualities to offset that. It would have to be a character that isn't just incompetent, but somehow also uncharismatic, unsympathetic, yet simultaneously accidentally winning and loving over people left and right at the same time. Like Inspector Clouseau, but not even solving the case at the end, and getting innocent bystanders killed along the way, while winning the lottery. There's no way this movie would ever get made unless Chris gets his comeuppance at the end - it would depress audiences too much.

Samuel L would do nicely but imo it has to be Brian Blessed for Derek

That whole absolving thing is just that part in a video where he laughs and says he's not good at estimating the time other people take, and then he casually adds that he absolves himself of that, that's it right? I'm pretty sure that's what people are talking about. I watched that and it didn't even register, certainly not as a major turning point in a half billion dollar enterprise. Like that poll, they've become such cornerstones of the entire justification of star citizen development and when I actually look into it I'm like, wait that's it? Every crumb of explanation becomes an article of faith.

No no, if you really capture Chris’ dumb handwaving skills he could be the star. Imagine him trying to calm a furious Sandi. There’s plenty of sympathy for a guy too dumb to learn anything meaningful from his Freelancer mistakes. The evil characters would have to be Ortwin and the Elms brothers, or whoever’s in the tell all book. Chris is the villain who’s bad choices are responsible for everything, but you feel bad for.

The Titanic posted:I'm sure it's possible that at one point in his life, CR was an astute developer. But this was probably during the Commodore 64 era. Yeah, that's true. From the stories about his Wing Commander pitch at Origin and that story from one of the guys who worked on CryTek's Star Citizen kickstarter video, I think Chris Roberts is probably one of those guys who can put on a really good, convincing presentation to a small group. He knows enough about programming and game development to sound confident and competent in a 30-minute pitch, and knows how to generate enthusiasm and interest. The sort of man that if you didn't know what he was like to work with, you would absolutely think was the kind of driven, highly-skilled visionary who would do something great. He knows just enough to be able to convincingly portray an expert in very controlled circumstances. But when you see him trying to actually do the things he seemed so self-assured about in that pitch meeting, it's just cringey beyond belief.

€213 for a pretend spaceship. If the human race somehow manages to survive the various pending planetary clusterfucks, future generations will one day find this screenshot and understand why our civilisation was always going to collapse... Regarding the SC - The Movie, would Kevin Costner get a role? I'm sure he'd enjoy doing a job on someone.

The reality is that in a few years time, Chris Roberts sells CIG/RSI ect. for tens of millions of dollars and walks away rich. All on the backers money. He is a conman. Sandi then devoices he again and takes half. This is the way.

Every crumb of explanation becomes an article of faith. Sure. My consideration is when you're the ceo of a company, and you've sold all these promises, and promised them to people in a timely manner, and everything is always "weeks, not months" away, saying something like that, even if it's not in a press release format, is pretty bad regardless of how loud it is. But this is why they're 10 years in, looking at another decade.

Yes (Chris Roberts answer) It works, is poo poo and it had been done before. But don't let that stop you from being conned by Christ Roberts. Also, like with many deals with Chris Roberts, nothing actually came about with their own custom webcam.

I’ve just watched a timeline of New World by Josh Hayes and how a 900k player base managed to break the game in so many hilarious ways. And Amazon was still unable to stop them, several months after release. And then I think about SC in the same crappy engine, aiming for a larger player base, and it’s like…. Lol this game will never release.
