>Crash alert! The game suddenly crashed and the pilot was disconnected from thegame. Whoops. Another player then had to step in and take the controls of the ship and try and recover the demo. Roberts came up with a few suggestions to try and salvage the demo eventually suggesting they should “roll it from the start” and messaging down the mic “do not show the loading screen”. Roberts paced upand down the stage mumbling into his headset. Oh dear. We have to do it all over again, but thankfully without all the terrible dialogue between players.

>The game suddenly crashed and the pilot was disconnected from the game.
>Even in this demo, the game looked juddery and framerates must have been dropping below 10 FPS at times. This is a shame because it can look great when it actually works. Yes, it’s still in ‘alpha’, but let’s not forget that we are now five years into this project.

No wonder why when you're trying to make like 3 games at once. Star citizen isn't just a space sim, it's also an fps and a base building survival game. Wouldn't it make way more sense to focus on developing the space sim part first, putting out the game and then adding the rest as free expansions?

it was amazing, it really shows that they aren't even close to finishing 3.0, they literally added some random NPCs gliitching the fuck out and any opportunity, showed the same intro mission but with cringy roleplayer so it doesn't look the same

the awful facial recognition, that for some reason is being given priority instead of developing the fucking game, 15 fps, a live crash, the Idris bug, that "space battle"

on top of that they have a retarded chick that doesn't know how to even play videogames, or follow simple instructions, well, she's an official playtester for them, so tremble

I'm really glad I didn't even spend a single cent in this fucking scam and last year I was about to buy one pack, boy I feel bad for people wasting 600$ in this shit

Roberts is just playing with people's dreams atm, I don't know why he's still claiming all the shit he claims when it's clearly showing that after 5 years none is done

because they're clueless about what they're doing. if they even had some direction or goals while developing they'd be mostly done by now. they're basically making a tech demo at this point.

Why do they think that it's acceptable to showcase their game on anything under 60fps? They're making a game that not even their beefed up dev rigs can fucking run. What supercomputer do you need to run Star Citizen at a solid framerate?

I'd actually suggest for him Starpoint Gemini 2 with the dlc that recreates the entire first game with 2's engine. The first game had the best story by far, followed closely by 2. Warlords is agreed worst story overall by many, but the gameplay is leagues ahead.

>>388312120

They gave the same presentation they had last year but with improved graphics and a useless face tracking gimmick.

I don't understand it, how much can they waste on developing these "planets"? they are literally barring empty open spaces, and the quests system is literally the same as Skyrim "infinite quests" or Elite Dangerous

regardless even if it was being done by a publisher it would take just as long, or would you rather have the publisher push them to be half done, nothing work and release an over hype game that doesn't even work.

>>388312306
I'm gonna go ahead and guess they have no fucking clue what they're doing and no one has made a solid roadmap of features they should work on.
I mean they made some face tracking useless garbage when the game has some serious bugs like vehicles going through each other or items not being displayed when picked up.

Am I the only one not liking the concept of the game? Everyone here is talking about the bugs but even if the game was 100% you'd still have the problem of larger groups. Imagine playing casually with friends and a clan of 20 comes out of the ass and deatroys everything you ever loved. It's like in Rust but at least in Rust it's easy to get stuff and nothing is permanent.

>>388312306
>earth has countless climates and biomes in it

>>388312413
facial animation tied to VOIP has been done in the past. but they work by getting the input from the VOIP software and once that hits the server the server then turns that into movement on the character's mouth: see something like TFC or GMod.

this is just fucking dumb though. suddenly you now have to get this webcam data to the server, PLUS the VOIP data, and there will be no way in which these two pieces of data can sync up properly, the VOIP data is likely to take longer to reach the server and you will basically have a face that is articulating words that haven't even reached the server.

and wouldn't it be better for RP if you actually had a fucking game to RP in instead of putting in this fucking useless shit?

Their entire approach to networking is
>we'll fix it later
A 3-man team is assigned to actually make the game an MMO. The interview with the lead was just sad, the man was handed an impossible job and told to just fix it. He's salvaging shit afterwards when he should have been in a lead position rivaling Chris himself on the design process, but instead he's the maintenance-man for a building that's already leaning sideways. Meanwhile 60 other developers keep producing shit that's un-networked and shipping it to his 3-man team for fixing.

trackir tracks your head movement but this only tracks your face movement and stops tracking when it can't see your face. trackIR you turn your head and the camera in game will move, this doesn't do that. i guess it's like trackIR is that there's a camera???

Games should be made in cheap, boring offices, probably in an industry area. Programming and engines are your #1 priority as your entire game is built on it, and you should get this in order before you even think of making games. You need an experienced team to make games, while adding a steady trickle of new kids to train. Then follow a nice KISS strategy of making a game. At some point for features, you gotta say no, and either put that in expansions or sequels.

Key word. What they do is they will setup this equipment for a day or week at an office to show it off. It costs almost nothing to do this and it generates occasional sales. There's no evidence Cloud Imperium Games actually bought them.

>Ion Storm was founded on November 15, 1996 with its headquarters in Dallas. The company had signed a licensing deal with Eidos Interactive for six games and the founders planned to scoop up titles from other companies that were close to completion, finish them, and push them out quickly to bring in initial revenue.

>In a fashion similar to other dot com busts, the company spent lavishly on office decor and facilities for employees.[1] The corporate headquarters of Ion Storm were located in Suite 5400,[2] 22,000-square-foot (2,000 m2) of space in a penthouse suite on the 54th floor, the top floor, of the Chase Tower in Downtown Dallas. Ion Storm spent $2 million on the facility. Lisa Chadderdon of Fast Company said that the penthouse location was "unusual."[3] For the first ten years after the construction of the JPMorgan Chase Tower, the penthouse location had been unleased.[3]

>Russ Berger Design Group, a firm most known for its work in designing recording studios, was responsible for interior design of the headquarters. This included a ten-foot-wide company logo set into the terrazzo floor of the lobby and matching green elevator doors.[1] The headquarters included a "crash room," a dormitory facility with two beds, three couches, a VCR, a wide screen television, and two telephone booths. It also housed a gaming room with a ping-pong table and four arcade machines, a changing area, and a shower room. The headquarters included these facilities because many employees in the video game industry work long hours at a time.[3]

>This location proved somewhat problematic. A notable problem with the office was that the sun shone through the glass rooftop directly into the monitors of the employees, forcing them to cover their cubicles with black fabric.[4]

I don't give a fuck because i haven't backed the game. I see it as "The others backed the game FOR ME".
Reading everything on their website, their blog, they're actually selling me a dream. Maybe too much even, they're too ambitious. Just.. if you are not a big fans of this game and just watch it occasionally without digging further, you'd think, "oh great, 100 systems with 3-4 planets with procedurally generated thing, cool" but if anyone has dug out on their blog,they actually have made lore for each of their planets, described each locations in precise details, building, spaceport location, everyfuckingthing. This is an extremely ambitious project. And not only that, there's the moon too. And there's even planets that you can't even access because it's too toxic. AND they want to make archeology a real thing in this game, for example there is one planets named Hades IV. In the lore, there's an ancient race/civilisations that became extinct. This planets was apparently home to this civilisations. and this planets.. is a planet splits in half due to some strange circumstance. Ancient destroying weapon? Whatever it is, it's up to the player to discovers it.
And there's more of this kind of shit!

So, i hope this game will be real. But i'm sure it's not going to be, so i'm just enjoying whatever eyecandy they're making atm.

Weak FUD, goonie. You're dismissed.

don't worry, they just need another 200m to fix it

>>388316907
garriot is like steve jobs, he wants "that thing" and couldn't give a fuck about the rest.

This is like being given a load of money and not knowing what you want to make. you just build everything that looks cool, even if it doesn't fit together.

I find the direction of development SC has taken has become spread waayy too thinly. i'd think it better if they tried to focus on completing 3.0 and then refining it before moving onto more ships and features. It feels as if Chris has ADHD and cannot let the development team focus on a single project for longer than a few months before coming up with some thing new to add into the game, like this trackIR type stuff. And as some other anons said, they seem to be trying to make a brand out of it at this point. I don't really see the need for all this fluff they keep trying to add to the game.

Why is this even 3.0? There are a fuckton of games that have more features and can be played in 0.3 version.

100% guarantee that the game will be a catastrophic failure.

This is weird that they went for cryengine since it has not a good reputation concerning optimization.
So making a mmo that big with it...

Post yfw Elite: Dangerous still looks better than this scam with all its flaws

>>388319030
no no, they'll be adding face tracking now, it's a core mechanic after all

>>388319036
because it sounds better to normies if it's 3.0 even though the game isn't anywhere near completion

>>388319293
of course its better, you can actually fly and shoot at shit

>>388319324
I'd rather they just fix what's in the game currently.

I'm watching the VOD. Seems like it was running fine until the crash.

Don't know why they didn't have a backup running simultaneously. It's p. common practice.

>everyone on /v/ in a panic

as always lmao

This game may end up raising a billion dollars before it's "complete".

>>388319030

Feature Creep. It's very tempting and it's very hard to say no too, especially since they have a lot of money and a continued flow of cash.

The same can be said with Kojima and Konami.
This is what literally takes for fire a person,these people have no self control.

>>388316963

He's right

>>388320715

Literally all they had to do was fix the shitty, almost hardcoded UI for a start, and mods would do the rest.
Then there was that other game that had the right UI but was made by one person, who eventually stopped working on it for some reason or another.

For singleplayer, it's really not that hard.

It's a procedurally generated moon with nothing in it.

>People think this game won't come out
They wouldn't keep having these demos if they weren't continuing to work on it. It's gonna take another five years or so but retards will keep pumping money into it and it'll finally release in like 2021, but it will come out.

They have a real interest in keeping the illusion of progress up so people keep buying 3D models and jpgs thinking they'll be able to do ANYTHING with them one day.

They project might collapse or it might get a release one day but it will never deliver on what they've promised.

>>388317740
Assuming the game get released, how mad people will be when those ships will inevitably get powercreeped?

This game is going to be the biggest shitfest of all time. There is absolutely no way that this will ever be a polished, content rich video game that fully delivers on everything that was promised. 150 million is a lot of money but it's just not enough for all the shit they have in development. It simply isn't.

GTAV had a production cost of 140 million dollar. How is Roberts going to stem SC with 150 mill?

>>388319293

>Only option for space sims are SC and E:D.

Why live?

Facecam is the type of shit you'd add in a sequel years down the road.

>>388322515

imagine if you just remove the levels because there's no xp mechanic haha

It's barely gone anywhere in five years because of how they're going about it. Instead of going "okay, we've got a wide-open space sim with RPG/FPS elements, let's hash those out and get a solid foundation first," they're going "what if we added face tracking and land vehicles and customizable rooms in your ship and..."

There's a word for it that isn't feature bloat that I can't think of. It's like... dealing with a bunch of unimportant little things without addressing the big picture.

>What about FreeSpace?
Interesting that you asked – we’ve been asking ourselves the same question. Good game, FreeSpace. It sure would be nice to see an awesome spiritual successor to FreeSpace.

>>388322683
bikeshedding, maybe?

>>388317643
The scale of the game and what they want to do is insane. There is no 'good engine' for it.

Maybe if they'd spent years building their own engine for it or something

how the hell would facecam even work with VR?

>>388323013

Something something we didn't know we'd have the funds to do that something something most of our code has replaced CryEngine's code.

Somehow they've managed to make syncing animations for 2-3 players and vehicles worse than default CryEngine 3, hell it looks worse than Star Citizen 2.x.
