Mellow_ posted:So 7 bytes for 500 people is a 3500 byte payload, or 3.5kb. But that 1.75MB is the data send to all 500 players, it's only 3.5kB/tick being sent to each person, or 0.56Mbits/s if you have a 20/s tick rate. If lovely old Internet connections in the late 90s could play Everquest or UO, I don't think that modern 100Mb/s connections that can stream 4k video should have a problem with 500 players.

quote:Dont forget to add that while CIG has received 500 million to build this game from scratch. It's still soo much better than what we've seen other people do with 10billion. Only three times the budget of any game ever developed. Only the combined budgets of GTA V, The Witcher 3 and World of Warcraft put together. For an Elite clone with one planetary system, a few small (ugly) indoor areas, and you can walk around a bit.

Mendrian posted:Now here's where I think the various MMO dreamers have it wrong; while all that stuff makes for good Funny Stories, I don't think they ever made for good games. An IRC chatroom can be funny, but that doesn't make it a game. MMOs proposed a world where people were fully immersed and roleplaying and engaging in this kind of stuff all the time, but the game part of those games tended to be less enjoyable than modern games by a pretty wide margin. People remember these games fondly because they have lots of good Stories but I think they rarely think about the fact that those stories exist in the absence of gameplay. What a lot of MMO nostalgists miss is that in those days, most people had little to no experience on the Internet, so just talking to people in a video game was a huge novelty. Since then, we've had 20 years of social media growth, and pretty much every game has some sort of online functionality. So a lovely game with a lot of downtime isn't interesting just because you can talk to randoms on the Internet. Try to recreate Everquest where people are stood around chatting all day and they'll just go to whatsapp.

colonelwest posted:Yeah loading screens are basically trivial these days with PCIE SSDs everywhere, even in consoles. It's about immersion rather than convenience. One of the best aspects of WoW compared to MMOs that came before (and after) is that you could walk or fly from one end of a continent to the other with no loading screen. Makes little difference to gameplay but is huge for worldbuilding. Physicalised elevators in SC would be really impressive, if you could look out the window and see the world outside, and if SC's planets and cities didn't look like poo poo. The tram would be cool if you were passing actual city rather than dead space, and if the city didn't look like poo poo.

Wanted to try this thing for the 'free fly' but I think by the time it's installed it'll have run out. Why is it taking so long? shrach posted:Never forget the official documentation released by CIG But when does the Zybourne clock go back in time to the kickstarter?

Well I just played for a while, and it doesn't seem to have changed much since I last played it a few years ago. I'm on a newer, much better PC and the performance is just as bad, even with all the graphics turned down to minimum. I haven't noticed any difference to the gameplay (running around randomly designed indoor areas, going up and down elevators, and the clunky flying). The UI is terrible. Often you can't read text or elements because it's white on white or blue on blue. The interact 'F' mode is awkward. Steering the ship is awkward. Trying to line up your ship in third person camera is awkward. Going through doors is awkward. Even with the graphics turned up to max it doesn't look that special in this day and age. So you get terrible performance for no reason. In a busy area I'll be at single figure FPS while my graphics card has 0rpm. No idea why. Every indoor area either looks like generic 80s scifi dank, or shopping mall. The character does everything slowly, he gets off a chair like Mr Creosote, you have to press drink over and over again to empty a bottle of water to get your hydration up. Can't believe I downloaded so much for this.

He basically wants a game that's effectively real life but in space. That would take billions to develop and probably wouldn't be very fun. The whole Spectrum thing won't work because of youtube, discord, reddit etc.

With all the money they've spent, you'd think they'd be a bit more ambitious. It has a very generic human sci-fi vibe. Where are the weird aliens, orbital structures, domes, weird planets etc?
