It's poo poo. Everything is poo poo.

i checked out the stream out of morbid curiosity and didnt intend to watch much, but i watched the whole demo and the tank commercial in mute horror

what i dont get is all the people saying crobbler is bringing us back to a golden age of gaming with any of this poo poo.

do they not remember the golden age of gaming? the long walking poo poo started with half life 1, which used it effectively AND SPARINGLY, but HL1 post-dates any of the wing commander games.

classic gaming was skipable cutscenes, straight into gameplay. All of this walk and talk poo poo is from much later, from games like half life 2. which did it much better, but STILL NOBODY ACTUALLY LIKED IT.

so is all the fake fidelity poo poo like getting up and taking a poo poo. I think the first game I saw where you get out of bed to start off is maybe AVP1? idk.

I think Chris hear about open world immersive games like Skyrim and Assasin's Creed but never actually played them so he doesn't realize that the devs pack encounters and stuff in so you run into something fun to do every few minutes.

Imagine Skyrim with no caves, wandering animals, castles etc. It would just be like Star Citizen except Star Citizen doesn't even have nice scenery to look at.

The funny part is that souls games have very little death penalty, which is kind of the point, and no death penalty if you can get back to where you died. That's what makes the brutally difficult gameplay enjoyable. Nobody would play that poo poo if you had to wait 90 minutes for LTI to replace your stuff.

I never thought about that. I mean this is the first time I've seen the briefing room, I just figured Chris really really wanted some Battlestar Galactica moments, but I never for a second thought about the fact that there's only 3 fighters. What are we calling the entire crew in to chit chat about the three pilot's ops?


Also your point about the latrines.....if I owned an Idris and finally got my hands on it in game to discover that much space had been wasted on at least one latrine that big, much less additional. Oh my god I would lose my poo poo. (:laffo:)

To even attempt to discuss this point requires one to will away the fact that the tank has a hallway and office inside of it.

That's not a light demand.

You can't have a serious discussion about that tank. You just can't. There's absolutely no way to approach what they've done with a straight face. It's two stories tall with a weird slope, no tangible depression with laser cannons on top of some sort of cannon that apparently shoots loving heat rounds and is laden with smoke launchers that lob ordinance the size of a grown man because the scaling is all hosed up.

The design discussion phase probably lasted about thirty minutes, of which twenty eight was spent figuring out how much they could get for it.

The thing that gets me about the tank, other than the size, is that it's rather conventional. It's not like a hovertank or anti-grav tank. It's not a walking tank or mecha, it's just an oversized tank four times bigger than an M1 Abrams because they couldn't bother to alter their animations or just make the loving thing one-manned.

I loved me some Renegade Legion back in the day and the thing I remember about them is that the gravtanks did orbital insertions, because they're flying tanks that don't have to worry about atmosphere to propel themselves, so they had theoretically unlimited ceilings and could "fly" in space. If you're doing future tanks, especially in a far future space empire settings, have them do that poo poo.

This is the third (fourth?) layout of the Idris as well. There was a point where the brig was in the center of the ship and the captain's cabin was enormous. How many man hours have been spent building and rebuilding the interior of this one stupid space fortress over and over and over again? It's like nobody can actually finish anything unless the Squadron 42 team touches it, and they inevitably make it twice as big just to make it playable.

Took a quick look and had to skip around a bunch because it seemed to be 80% flying through set pieces where Mark Hamill talked at you. Only saw one or two combat scenarios. I mean, the set pieces are well-rendered, but its not really worthwhile unless things actually happen. And the launch sequence was overwrought.

Just off of the video, it looks like Id have more fun replaying Strike Suit Zero. Its not as pretty and more arcadey, but doing a Macross-style missile spam seems like it'd be a lot more satisfying.
