I kinda just skipped around but it looks fine, a lot of it was cut scenes so it's hard to get an idea what the actual game play might be like.

Kinda looks like it's going to be a Call of Duty game.

Good to hear that SQ42 is finally feature complete 8 years after its expected release date. It's a great achievement in project management

Did they announce a new release date for SQ404?!

Dessel
Feb 21, 2011

I'm sure I could google this but I'm pretty sure they said SQ42 should finally release like 5+ years ago or something *after* the delays. I guess the graphics looked kinda good but stuttery. I wouldn't trust Chris Roberts and this team with a cent of my money, and everything around the game is disgusting hucksterism.

Even if the game released in 2 years (lol no it won't) I bet it'd stutter on a 5090 that doesn't exist yet and a PC built around that.

edit: I pulled my 2 years out of my rear end for their polish/whatever loving animation adding poo poo and optimization schedule.

Holy gently caress I know I'm a sucker for caring and commenting what Reddit says but the posts on r/games about this presentation are insufferable. I hope to god the positive comments are astroturfing because holy poo poo how can you still trust anything Chris Roberts says after over a decade?

Oh yeah I just watched that part on YouTube lol. The aliens being in 5 seconds of pre-rendered cutscene is a great sign that the game is almost finished.

Feature complete probably doesn't mean content complete, especially since they're likely having to polish the gently caress out of the content made a decade ago.

Also they might just be lying. They announced the intent to announce a date later.

I think that looked alright in places, and if you showed it to me without revealing who made it, I'd be interested.
Going to be funny with the PU people thinking all these environments will make it into that though.

I mean if they're telling the truth and they are feature complete that is one full step further along than I expected them to ever be. Personally I thought it would be in development hell, and it'd never release and eventually it would become some sort of weird economic prop, like if cig ever fell under enough devs, techs, etc would go unemployed and destroys the economy of *spins wheel* spain, and for that reason SQ42 would never be finished.

Are they even including that much content, that will needed to be complete?

Thought this was just meant to be an "episode 1" so like only a part of a "full game". Which is sort of hilarious in itself that after so long in development.

Very much expecting a lot of cut scene with tiny bits of game play just sort of scattered in, to make it look exactly like a badly made animated movie.

It all looks serviceable and yeah if you showed me that and I had no idea about CIG I would be interested to see some gameplay but as it stands I cannot picture them releasing an actual fun and functioning game at this point. I mean the only thing we have to go on is SC which is a complete mess.

It seems unlikely it will have been worth $700 million or whatever they end up spending on it.

So, I guess this means SQ5404 is _finally_ entering alpha now it's feature complete.

2011 (or 2010 according to some legends) to 2023.

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

I guarantee you their "feature complete" silently involves their own very specific definition of "feature".

I think the best SQ42 can be is going to be a Call of Duty game, which is totally fine but lol at spending 14 years and 3/4 of a billion dollars to make that.

I don't think "feature complete" means anything in CIG-speak, any more than "alpha" does.

It might just mean that someone has finally decided what a Minimally Viable Product for Sq42 would look like, and now they "only" have to make that stuff work.

Watching the video again it seems like it’s turned into an “everything game” just like SC, as Chris has been chasing the industry for 11 years now. It wants to be a modern WC, but also have large open ended levels, ground sections, complex physics puzzles, fully realized spaceship interiors, destructible environments, full object interactivity, and a million other things that will never work or even form a cohesive vision.
