Star Citizen alpha delayed again as game hits new crowdfunding records

>>386454714
(i have not paid anything for it, but i seriously hope it succeeds)

They could release it as it is now, and honestly could have about a year and a half ago if they wanted to half arse it.

initiate Defense force in 3 2 1....

>>386454714
Always remind Star Citizen crowdfunders that their lives are now relative shit in the years since they backed this game. 9 times out of 10, you WILL trigger a SC backer into a REEE tantrum

>>386454823
>They could release it as it is now
ahahahahahahaha

What was the original release date for alpha 3.0?

>>386455206
december 2016

>>386455015
Can't be helped. Buyers remorse is regarded as a violent mental condition.

Will be the GOAT when it finally releases

They don't give dates, the backers just wanted to have their internal schedule and they gave it.
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/schedule-report

These move a lot, this time by one or two weeks because of polish. Not sure why someone wrote an article about it and is now being copy pasted by everyone. They always put doing things well over anything else.
Kind of weird for people not even interested in the game to track its progress so much, I personally put 20 bucks in for both to-be games and check in once a couple of months.

>>386455616
Nothing new, /v/ loves possible trainwrecks. Pushing dates is a big indication of some internal problems, so that translates as higher chance of incoming trainwrecks.

After Tortanic /v/ has always been on the lookout for the next one like it.

>>386456015
Not really in this case, if you see how they organise things it's pretty insane how well they keep track of everything. They decided to make full use of the procedural tech instead of going with canned landing zones so that pushed the original estimation of end of last year by a lot.

They're also kind of autistic about not faking things so they tend to build entire systems for handling certain tasks to build a more robust foundation to build upon. A lot of these haven't really been done before so there's a lot of R&Ding, and in programming these can take hours or months.

Nigger, this shit has been in development for 6 years or so, they always ask for more cash and keep snowballing the project

More time isnt always equal to a better product
More money isnt always equal to better quality

I have 0 evidence that they got any idea of what their end goal is because that shit keeps growing

Right now, this looks like a bloated mess that will be a buggy pos at release 4 years in the future

>>386456864
whats your point subhuman
the game will be out when it's ready

and it will be the top seller on whatever platform its on

>>386456578
No, but it will push the trend that's already happening. Fargo talked about it in an interview - the well is basically tapped at this point. If it fails people will remember Star Citizen in much the same way they remember Atari's ET. It's a landmark moment, and an important cautionary tale, but poorly understood.

Bad scheduling is not a small matter, publisher pulled plugs all the time on any developer with bad scheduling. A good developer will even put their autism into release date calculations.
Fortunately crowd-funding is a good ground to milked out idiots with big wallets. Seriously, there should be some sort of law protecting consumer in this aspect.

Half a billion dollars carefully flushed down a toilet for sixteen years while the rest of the industry continues to move. Elite: Dangerous will have been completely finished by then, incorporating every substantial feature in the gap between what it is now and what Star Citizen says it will be.

And Star Citizen will still be 'out in just a couple years guys, honest!'

>>386458030
It's out right now. You can play it if you want.

>>386458661
people definitely get mad, and then they get run out of the community

this is how the star citizen community just keeps getting distilled into crazier and crazier motherfuckers. it's beautiful

>>386457451
The entire point from the start though, is that they had finally gotten enough funds to not deal with publishers and investors that they CAN do it the way they want instead of limiting yourself to all the canned and scripted shit we see in every game ever.

Yeah it can take forever or maybe not end up being released at all if you're overly dramatic and can't see how far they've already gotten from their behind the scenes stuff (literally thousands of hours of insight). But honestly who the fuck cares how long it takes when they get to build shit nobody else does? I most definitely prefer them experimenting instead of taking all the shortcuts every game ever does and get another shallow AAA experience like we've gotten a lot of recently.

>>386459008
I don't know, most aspects are already much deeper than other games.

It's funny because even the FPS module features ammo tracking and magazine repocketing, the last time I remember a game with that is Arma and SWAT4 and there's a trillion of those. I can come up with nearly endless of these examples in the current alpha, so your shitposting crystal ball means very little.

I hope this never releases

I want to laugh at backers forever

They went through a lot of trouble to have a unified third/first person rig. Every game ever (except I think Arma?) fakes this and has separate animations and meshes for third and first person. This had many many problems to solve but they have it running pretty much perfectly now. Stuff like needing to stabilise the head (because there would be head bob otherwise) using a combination of simulating the vestibulo-ocular reflex and some stabilising motion like birds have.

This allows them to have only one animation set (saving a lot of work), and what you see is always what's happening for real. Stuff like 'head glitching' is also not possible due to this and whenever you fire your gun, you truly shoot out of the gun instead of a cheaty method by raycasting from the centre of the screen (if someone has seen that Red Dead Redemption webm of shooting your own horse somehow).

This also let you shoot your gun while doing dance animations and it worked perfectly, including shooting other players in MP. They removed it as a game design decision though.

>>386454714
i bought it.
didnt bother playing what was released so far and i wont bother until v1.0 releases in 2020 or whenever.
the only time i was pissed off was when he splitted some parts of the game and i needed half an hour to check they stupid website if i still got the whole game.
i do.

No one want's another Duke Nukem Forever scenario to happen again (aside from /v/). The longer the development period the higher the risk of unexpected short coming. What if they had messed up their backups? What it their core staff moved on to other studios? What if a publisher throws a couple hundred millions to outright buy the studio? What if that publisher is EA?

All this are very likely to happen since CIG is proven lousy at planning ahead.

I suspect that they'll released a different game within the universe instead, probably a f2p fps moba for maximum jew. Well they already got a working fps engine to work on.
Star Citizen will be their Half-life3. The ultimate carrot on a stick.

>>386462328
the point is they should deliver what they promised on kickstarter within the kickstarter budget and around the original estimated delivery date.

There was a vote to do the original pitched game and pocket the money or use the money to do something more ambitious. The latter was chosen. You can't deliver one baby in two months with four women.

it's gonna be great when this finally releases and it's a buggy, unfinished, early access mess.

Do they have stable multiplayer yet that can handle more than 2-3 people in close proximity?

What about an economy?

I've said it before but this game will become just a single player campaign and some tacked on multiplayer like arena fights and that will be it.

I can not fucking fathom how any of the people who dropped 10 grand on this shit feel. You would have to feel so foolish. It's literally equivalent to having just burned $10,000 at this point.

>>386463592

if you played the game or actually watch the development videos you would have an answer to all those questions but you choose to stay ignorant so you can make fun of this game.

I'll just play simple ass Everspace and won't bother myself with any other space game. It's like RTS, if you've played 5 games from that genre, you've pretty much seen everything it has to offer.

>>386463716
I'm not watching hours of that shit that seems to change and gets pushed back all the time.

In two years time a whole lot of nothing has happened so I gave up keeping tabs.

I mean, I get it. I really do. That's pretty cool, but it doesn't contribute much to gameplay. This seems like a lot of time and effort for something that could've probably waited until after the singleplayer release.

There's a reason this kind of feature is glossed over in other games. It's not the meat and potatoes that really make the game. It seems like Roberts sits down with the department heads and says, "you know what would be cool? If this was like this or when you did this that happens! Yeah! That would be so awsome!"

>>386464225
You can't expect people to watch hourlong weekly updates for almost 5 fucking years.

Kind of wrong, because if you recall correctly it took Rockstar literally thousands of animations redone to include first-person.

This game is going to have an ungodly amount of animations for doing stuff in the universe and also interacting with your ship like punching buttons, repair, etc. so in the end it's still a lot less effort. The diegetic HUDs also kind of needed it.

Some guy on the Star Citizen subreddit who does business management consulting had the best take on it. The problem is that CIG is showing us their super-optimistic "if everything goes right" internal schedule that you use to keep people focused on tasks, rather than the normal projections you give to external people that are more pessimistic. You can't put leeway time in internal schedules because then the task grows to fill the time allotted and people either slack off or are stuck waiting for other people to get done with their part.
If they took their schedule and added a month or so of padding before showing it to people it'd probably work out better.
>>386456204
I think the actual issue is that they keep running into blockers with the NPC AI and they're trying to "do it right the first time" rather than put in a stopgap solution.
Seriously, every other delay has been "Ran into further issues with Miles Eckhart"

I mean it's kind of obvious, internal dates are never the ones you give to the public, but since they want to be transparent they do, and journalists just assume they're hard dates for us without reading the giant disclaimer above their internal schedule.

Although most of these literally seem to be copy pasted so not sure if a 'journalist' was involved.

That reminded me of Pixar, they learned it the hard way in the beginning since they were always too perfectionist with the technical side of animation. From then on they focussed on making a resemblance of product first and added more of the original plan if they got extra time.
Pixar even said that none of their movies will ever be finished if given unlimited time, they always had to forcibly kicked it out of the door from their obsessive animators a month before screening.

I think Chris Robert could learn a thing or two from Pixar.

It’s not all been smooth sailing for Roberts and his team though, and since the game’s development began in 2012, Star Citizen has been played by “feature creep”. So, what began as a simple space combat simulator eventually morphed into something way more ambitious as new features where added

i believe the opposite happened. a huge amount of features were suggested amd they've had to retract most of what they promised. people thought this was going to be an mmo before they announced it would only be small persistent servers

By the time Star Citizen is released you'll just be able to visit another planet in real life.

I put in $500 and nothing has really changed in my life from that. If it comes out, cool, if not, no big deal. I never part with money unless I'm sure I can afford to never see anything from it. One of the big lessons my parents taught me about lending money to friends, because they may not repay you no matter what you do or threaten to do to them. Has kept me in the black through all the years.

I've been intentionally ignoring this game since I first heard about it, mainly to keep my hype levels low until it actually comes out. What is the deal, are they just waiting until it's "perfect" or are they really taking this long to finish it?

these threads are nothing more than troll threads, you can tell because the people who hate on the game use shitty derick smart approved infographics and talking points.

If they do this they can fuck right off.

Part of what people interests in SC is the large universe and economy that was promised.

Swap ED and Freelancer, since ED is still less complete/fun than FL. Add X3TC between EVE and Privateer, and you're good.

Cmon, Robertsfag, I won't give you money otherwise.

>>386474484
Infinitely better than launch, almost playable even. They've abandoned it for X4 though. Let's hope they learned their lesson.

Chris Roberts made multiple good games though. Even Freelancer, the game that got rushed out the door unfinished, has an 85 on Metacritic. He's clearly doing something right.

I am pretty sure the next "major" update will have like 30 man instances or something like that. They got bogged down making procedurally generated planets even though player count is by far the most important thing for what they're aiming.

>>386473634
But that game has already released. And it's good.

no deadline, a steady flow of money and Roberts not being able to stop adding or changing stuff (kinda like Broussard, the guy who fucked up Duke Nukem Forever) means that it's going to take a very long time, yeah

That doesn't have any of the underlying system changes. If it's not going to acknowledge that rewriting Cryengine to support 64-bit positioning (which was necessary for 3.0) is a massive part of development, it's worthless. Same goes for the item 2.0 system where they changed how CryEngine handles component parts of objects entirely. It's a massive amount of work that isn't represented by that in the slightest, whereas they could just shit out ten planets with copy and pasted everythings and get 100% on that chart. Worthless.

I never backed SC but this statement is retarded. So we should all just take the money we've earned from work and instead of spending it on whatever we choose to spend it on we should instead give it all to some charity or something? Why you spending money on a TV when some kid in Africa is starving bro? You like wasting money?

They're barely working on it at all. The devs are too busy buying yachts and rolling in the fat stacks of cash that all the suckers handed them.

I don't like his games. I don't like what he's done to two franchises I once liked very much. I will admit, though, for the audience he intends to draw, he definitely delivers. Hell, he delivers something, anything, at a budget and they're generally well received, even if I can't stand them personally. He's kept a studio of over a hundred people steadily employed for over a decade, and they've enjoyed great success and job security while making a strong name for themselves shipping five games of immense scale in thirteen years. We can meme on Todd all we like, but unlike Roberts, he's at least some variety of professional who doesn't squander his patrons' money.

/v/ enjoys watching ambitious projects fail for a multitude of reasons. I honestly don't mainly because it means that a large amount of resources, time, talent, and potential were wasted because of a spare few individuals that don't know how to manage a business properly; but it is kinda cathartic to see developers with delusions of grandeur get put in their place.

>>386454714
who cares? everyone knows its a scam already

>>386476218
every time someone posts a picture of the devs working on this game all i see are women and, plaid shirt bearded faggots, and obvious agents who are investigating fraud

>>386476218
Well, they ARE currently in an unique position that allows them to not set deadlines at all, so long as they can milk their fanbase. It wouldn't surprise me if they can deliver most of that they promised because of this. Even if it takes ten years.

I keep seeing threads on this game. Does it have some kind of backstory or something? Why is it so popular

>>386455050
Couldnt be any worse than elite dangerous. Just recently they reintroduced a bug that cause plasma cannon equipped ai to continously shoot. Ftroop set the bar so low even if scam citizen went into early access and charged people 100 bucks to buy the game it would be better.

I think one thing we all know from this is that someone got incredibly rich from a single promise. Remember that. This guy made over 150 million dollars for promising something. Imagine being able to do that and being made for life.

>>386476750
Isb't it that game that was developed like 20 years?

>>386476750
game was in development for 20 years by the leader of the alt right

>>386476750
Dev is legit autistic and worked on a game for 20 years. Not the /v/ brand of autistic.

>>386476450
I don't really know, I feel like you're not giving deadlines enough credit, they can be a curse and a blessing depending on how time is spent and how talented the individuals are that are part of the project.

For something like this I'm not really informed enough to give an educated guess, but I don't think that having indefinite amounts of time to do something is always synonymous with the quality of it when it's released. I guess we'll just see though.
