I'd go to Remedy and offer all of Star Citizen as a start for Control II: Space Control. The twisted NPC monstrosities, vanishing objects, falling through the ground and other bizarre things just need some talented writers to describe how they are Altered World Events.

Some sort of Space Fast & Furious prison break scenario that is carefully scripted and may actually not crash as massive resources have been spent on this and not making an actual game for most of the year. The whales will love the idea of being able to lock up other, lesser players and this will somehow generate exciting gameplay where they can summon their org to defend the HVT from the rabble that seeks to free him.

echothreealpha posted:I wouldn't be surprised if they are struggling to finish a quarter of the cutscenes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empires_of_the_Deep quote:n December 2014 the movie was announced as complete and due for release in China in December 2015 after almost five years of post-production, mostly coming from the visual effects, which had increased the budget to well over US$140 million.[5] As of December 2019, the film remains unreleased, going through four directors, 10 scriptwriters and with many of the actors and production and technical crews still unpaid.

Antigravitas posted:Missiles in Eve are actual objects and you can destroy them with AoE weaponry even. A design decision they probably deeply regret as it increases the amount of objects to keep track of so much. I believe they did go from 'launch 8 missiles' to 'launch an object representing 8 missiles' already. Deciding to resolve the result of a missile attack immediately on launch and just play a canned graphics effect to show its flight would not be a bad idea. But I'm sure fidelity demands a finely detailed missile with moving control surfaces, a fuel usage system and thrust calculations.

MarcusSA posted:That is some impressive poo poo. Last time I saw this was with the original Prince of Persia which both rebooted the PC and messed up the BIOS settings if you did next level cheat on the final level. Wing Commander 1 was released around that time so it's probably evidence that CRoberts is really coding the physics engine.

They, uh, don't actually have a roadmap beyond December 2020 anymore, but I feel good about this prediction. Buy in now- prices on spaceships only go up! Roadmaps ? Where we're going we don't need roadmaps !

Actually it was the greedy publishers who kept the programmers shackled and prevented them from fixing lag. Now that, thanks to you buying that Idris, the publisher has been replaced by visionary Christ Roberts the pipelines are wide open and any day now the Dynamic Server Meshing will be released to astound the world and have everyone begging to licence the StarEngine.

commando in tophat posted:It's pretty mind boggling to me that they went with unique names (but also only unique across each ship type?), and naming it on a loving website, instead of just adding "string name;" on a ship and put input box on one of many terminals in game. But I'm not looking at it from a whale tender perspective My guess is that Turbulent is grabbing functionality as much as they can in the mad machine that is Star Citizen development. And since they are smart enough to stay far away from dreams.txt features they are the people who can 'get stuff done'. None of that stuff is related to a spaceship game anymore but that's not really relevant anymore, you're just naming your digital pet who happens to be a spaceship.

RabbitWizard posted:Anyone got the picture of the rig with the dozens of expensive cameras they bought for that? And then never mentioned again? Getting their own mocap studio is such a dumb idea. Once you have it there is no pressure to get anything right because you can always go back for more. And I bet that people soon discovered that putting 'waiting for planned motion capture' or 'processing and refining motion capture output' on a status report gets an automatic thumbs up from the Crobbler.

Zaphod42 posted:In my experience its the exact opposite. Games have to be built fast, often change during development, and are targeting "fun" which isn't easy to design a spec around. It may also involve removing stuff you spent a lot of time and money in making. For instance in Horizon Zero Dawn an option to remove the elaborate headgears that were part of outfits was added shortly after release as a lot of players found them annoying when playing and in photo mode. Others may consider this an insult to their vision of fidelity or try to solve it by making a hundred new types of headgear.
