Ah yes, the fabled you don't get more information because you can't handle it argument. A classic to be sure.

You've also completed ignored the point that no one is saying they have to have every feature nailed down in its final complete form that it'll take upon commercial release. Our point is that all these things, many which were supposed to be included in patches last year, are clearly still in the brainstorming phase and haven't been worked on at all.

You can have all the PhD-level discussions you want in some obscure discord for people who've dumped way too much money in this project, but it doesn't change the fact that all the top guys at the company just put out a video clearly showing that most all of these major game mechanics haven't even been started on yet.




Show us your balls.

I honestly don't know how you can seriously compare SC with that. They are nothing alike in scope or goals. This is new territory.

When you are retreading old ground its easier to make predictions. No one communicates more volume wise than CIG hands down and frankly because of the nature of development things change.

Too bad most of that "volume" is just nonsense handwaving and spaceship concept sales.

They're making a video game. There's no reason they can't have something similar to the subnautica trello where you can see what is being worked on, what features and bugs are a current priority in development. You can claim grand scope and amazing never-seen-before game mechanics, but that doesn't mean that they can't be discussed beyond a "We think that..." or "Maybe if.." context. If there are teams actually working on these features, then they must have some idea on what they're actually doing. This can easily be shared with the backers on a platform similar to subnautica's trello.

So are they planning lol, like they play anything on have survival mechanics at all times? Meaning that your space commando will constantly need to be fed and hydrated or else you'll die? Or is it only when you crash land on a planet or moon?

Phew, I'm glad that all the lovely "prototype" game demos that CIG have released so far are just a sign that development is wrapping up.


Look at these filthy dinks spreading FUD about CIG misrepresenting the state of development in order to build hype and milk money from autists.

So many innocent goons, throwing so much money at mushmouth-Roberts :smith:

It's so strange reading through these old threads. I know I have the advantage of hindsight and I've only been following Star Citizen for less than a year, but all of the red flags were there right from the start. How could anyone buy the bullshit line of "Star Citizen will have everything you've ever dreamed of! Plus we'll do it in two years with a small budget and 20-30 people!"

You can definitely crash land on a carrier deck without blowing up. I've done it a few times!
Flash forward to current Star Citizen where even looking at a ship wrong will sometimes cause it to spontaneously explode and fly off into space at 1,000 km/s.

At this point I can't figure out which would be worse:

A) CIG goes completely silent. Stops putting out videos all together, but instead they just hint that they're working on something great and it's going to blow everyone's minds. Rinse and repeat every few months for as long as it takes to scrape together some lovely demo.

B) Continue to release these pie in the sky ~dreams videos with no actual evidence that anything they're talking about has made it off the whiteboard yet.

It doesn't seem like backers (with the exception of the most hardcore) are buying their smoke and mirrors bullshit like they used to.

Former Sony Online Entertainment CEO to lead a new Amazon Games studio

It'll likely be a while before we know anything about this San Diego branch's game. In an interview with GamesIndustry International, Smedley alluded to this being "really big and ambitious" thanks to the Amazon Lumberyard infrastructure. Big and ambitious is certainly in Smedley's wheelhouse. Let's hope "quality" is an adjective we can use to describe it too.
