I pop in here every year or so to check if there's a game yet and once again I am not disappointed. I looked at the SC website as well and there... there's still only one star system? But it's ok because there's more ships that they've thought of. Amazing game, 10/10.

shrach posted:Not that I'm aware of. I don't think CI-etc would be eligible though since their business is booming and they presumably have no need to furlough any staff since they can work from home. Doesn't mean they didn't "furlough" people to get the money and then get them to work anyway

BiggestOrangeTree posted:If I recall correctly Robocop 2 had a meta scene of a board meeting where they talk about how making another Robocop is a bad idea. Not only that but they literally make a bunch of Robocops that fail (the funniest one being the one that shoots everyone around it then itself) and then their final Robocop 2 is powered by the brain of a deranged junkie and also goes wrong. The entire film is pretty much refuting it's own need to exist.

communism bitch posted:ED has billions of planets? Well SC is going to have trillions of planets, and will meticulously simulate billions of years of geology and organic evolution for every single planet, so one day you'll be able to land on a rocky world and excavate real alien dinosaur bones! And then you'll be able to host a xenopaleography conference and invite other alien dinosaur experts to give talks on their findings! And maybe your findings will be published in the journal of astro xeno biology which is an in-game newspaper run by players! You'll even get interviewed on space TV!! Note: Dino bones will currently spawn inside ships and players rather than in the ground, space TV is still awaiting the release of the space TV spaceship and the journals are not and will never be peer reviewed

Unfortunately in the same conversation they started telling me how they thought SC "looks amazing" (SC was reintroduced to them via the whole ex-Odyssey streamer thing) and I am now worried they are going to buy in, despite me having told them for years how it's a dumpster fire made of incompetence and dreams.txt Point and laugh while projecting an endless stream of bug videos onto the wall behind you.

Why is anyone throwing money at molyneux at this point? The last actual, complete game he designed was over a decade ago at this point, everything since has been junk like "what's in the cube" and Godus. Remember that RPS interview he did when it was clear Godus was hosed? It was hilarious.

Oh, I guess when the kickstarter for SC went live,  was only a decade out from Freelancer, so it's consistent with Molyneaux at least.Also I just read the RPS interview again and I'd forgotten the OPENING QUESTION is "Do you think that you're a pathological liar?" and it's all downhill from there.

Sammus posted:Molyneaux is a legit genius when it comes to saying the right things to get people to open their wallets. I would compare him to Chris Roberts, but Moltneaux delivers a finished product, so he’s more like Sean Murray, where he delivers a finished product but it’s massively different from the one he hyped for months. It did, but the prize was a share of the revenue from Godus and it made no money because they never finished it

Trilobite posted:They're basically just running deckchair-rearranging drills while waiting for the iceberg to hit. Someone noticed the old space station didn't have CARGO or HOSPITAL "gameplay" and didn't even have any tedious public transit to keep players busy doing nothing, so here comes space station 2.0. They'll manage something like removing the space station but if you fly your ship into the wrong place where it used to be you'll materialise inside it

Randalor posted:The station becomes the player. Every part of the station made out of nightmarish cronenberg-esque body horror as the game loads the player model for every part of the station, before twisting and warping them to the proper shapes. Hand rails made of mile-long player. Floor tiles of player crushed down and stretched out to make the meter by meter plates. Every stair a seperate player, staring at you with long-dead eyes. I have no ship. And I must station.

trucutru posted:It's servers able to collaborate to share the server load. The idea is that if there are too many players in Orgrimmar and the server cannot handle it you just run an extra server and transfer some of that load to it. FishMcCool posted:Server Meshing is what happened when Crobear realised server load wasn't actually solved simply by asking AWS to run more servers. Rotten Red Rod posted:I'm by no means a computer expert, but wouldn't servers talking to each other also increase server load since, you know, that's data too? So it's load balancing but for N servers instead of for a fixed number?

Tippis posted:Worse. It's assumed load balancing based on the CRobber wish that 50 clients + 50 clients = 51 clients. Rather than, you know, 100 (+ overhead). Thank you for this, I now understand why this would be revolutionary and why it is currently not actually happening (nor is it likely to). Torquemada posted:Knowing nothing about computers, I can imagine micro scenarios where parts of this bullshit make sense, but my brain revolts when I try to translate it to a larger scale. I guess the idea is you can do all the computing in seperate spaces and then just communicate the results to the other linked spaces. Like, you don't need to know what set of physics variables combined to make spaceship A change location by x y and z, you just need to know that's where it is now. Except you kind of DO need to know how it got there so it doesn't just teleport around on another player's screen, so you need to then build some extrapolation into the client as well I guess. Maybe? I dunno, I have always understood networking stuff to be some of the most complicated poo poo you can do with computers and tried to avoid it.

I just rewatched hbomberguy's best of 2016 video and he makes a joke about how he loves No Man's Sky and it's going to take two years to get it to the game they advertised it as being and that everyone will be playing Star Citizen by then, and then sniggers at the idea it'll be out. We're coming up to a decade of mocking how long this thing is taking.
