Troll elsewhere.

What professionals? You mean the ones that work in an industry that innovates only at a barely observable snails pace due to consolitis? That's only proof of what I have said previously and what others here and in other threads bitch about which is copy/paste games or games that may have new...

Oh and one more thing regarding Design Documents. The moment they are written and production starts, unless you are building a LEGO game with a 11th generation engine and never adding a feature or COD:MW2, it's immediately out of date. The reason that document is out of date is because things...

Skanda having some knowledge is not the same thing is expertise. I would say it's the accumulation of knowledge that makes you an expert. I don't know everything about SC but I know more than the vast majority of people that claim to be fanboys and following it since Day 1. I get shit on by...

Are we talking about the same thread? I have posted every significant update there was since the second half of this year. All those posts with links actually lead to content/feature updates you can visually verify since they stopped talking about them and started showing them off. I wouldn't...

I have repeatedly said I'm not an expert, not in the game industry (never was) and the closest I have actually been to game developers is PR events like 10+ years ago when I wrote for a review site in my spare time. I know a very tiny sum of knowledge when it comes to game development from...

Were you asleep or just didn't care? Just an honest question. I mean personally I block out information I don't care about so I tend not to recall that information very well or at all.

That escalated quickly from the few direct statements I have ever made regarding industry practices to taking everything released at face value. So in your mind pitching games is not a thing? If it is it only ever happens on paper? I honestly don't know what your stance is because you can't...

Still yet to see this amazing fountain of knowledge. I have yet to be proven wrong by one of you on any facts surrounding the game, game industry in general etc. since Day 1. Lets not inject facts into another troll attempt though am I right?

First. I was wrong. They aren't re-doing the flight model. They are re-doing the numbers fed into the flight model. Big difference. This was clarified in today's RTV. It's all just changes in a spreadsheet so it's not a huge change on CIG's side but it does change gameplay on the client...

They spent a year making a pitch mostly in their free time. The largest expense was Chris ending up buying a CryEngine license for 1 million IIRC. For someone who claims to work, or has worked, in the industry you seem to know next to nothing about this process that happens all the time. I'm...

EDIT: Let me rephrase in terms you can understand. According to you I have been saying every year this game is coming out next year. According to me I said the earliest this game is coming out is 2017/2018. I'm not revising my statement.

What production for 5 years? There wasn't even a studio or actual work being done on the game for nearly 1.5 years into your 5 years. The first year it was Chris, Sandi (not a dev), Ben (not a dev), Dave (writer) plus Sean and two guys at CryTek volunteering their off the clock time over the...

This week's ATV has some interesting bits but the most critical one is the completely revamped flight model. Again I'll break it down so you don't have to watch what you don't care to. Full video here. 1. Radar/Scanning (both Ship and Character): The same code and UI implementation is used...

Quaid since you aren't too keen on reading perhaps I can get my friend's 8 year old to send you an audio transcript. Moving right along...

Well you need to separate SQ42 from the PU. SQ42 will launch before the PU is ready. SQ42 needs a few things before launch but we have no idea how far along they are with one of those and that's Infiltration. That will require animations and everything surrounding it. What if the first pass...

Ivo Herzeg who created the Vision Stabilization for SC is interviewed by Brian Chambers (Director of the German CIG office). They got further in depth on the system and answer subscriber questions. Warning: Video is a bit loud so turn it down. EDIT: Ivo explains in exact detail what games do...

Very strongly suggest people read that. Overall I would grade this article fair but spotty. That in itself is unusual since either you get fluff or 100% biased bullshit. 3/5 stars IMO Kind of surprised they completely glossed over the fact that other studios poached all of their top Austin...

This weeks ATV is from the German office in Frankfurt that works on FPS, StarEngine and tools used for rapid content creation as well as patching among many others. Full video here. Most of you don't give a shit about most of this so skip to the 3rd link about FPS. 1. Weapons Team update...

So it's floaty or shaky cam. Can't be both. And no I will continue to post actual content where they show you shit and not just blab. And with that they posted this weeks ATV so I'm watching that then posting a write up if it's good.

Don't think I ever posted a 10FTC before. I don't because it's mostly wishy washy fluff and even I stopped watching it a year ago. Thankfully it's dead. This is a new format they are doing where they actually show you what they are doing just like the weekly ATV I been posting. This 10FTC is...

That's not head bobing. That's motion blur which is an entirely different issue. One I agree with you 100%. Here is what I would consider a sensible implementation in BF1. What I miss in the SC video they posted is running. He runs exactly once facing the ground. That pisses me off. Btw I...

Yeah it looked like you are going to be motion sick in that video. Right.

If this was 2015 pre-stabilization reveal you had a very valid point and I shared it. Tuco you are being incredulous and tyen you are just a troll.

Not sure where you are getting the idea that I'm advocating for shaky cam or a gimmick. CIG already solved the problem once. It's every other game that uses a gimmick simply because they don't know what else to do. Ultimately this will be answered once all the features required to make it...

Just because something is difficult to do doesn't mean you don't try. Yeah it's hard. If it was easy everyone would have done it already. You may not know this but SC already had this feature implemented and working around this time last year. It vanished, along with some other FPS features...

I don't think we are going to see the delay in movement go away. The simple reason being they did what ARMA did which is combine the 1st person camera directly with the character animation. The difficulty of that is 11 so developers simply don't do it and instead chat. You really don't want...

I'm not taking it personally I'm just trying to get a point across. As are you. I get it. However personal taste has nothing to do with evaluating an FPS for how good it is. I'm not saying there is some sort of science to FPS but if you played as many as I have, and I played a huge chunk of...

I'm not circle jerking over other people's opinion, I have my own, otherwise I would be just like the other people here or on Reddit and just say whatever makes me popular. Here I'm called a Shill there I'm called a Hater. Nobody likes me because I go against establishment opinion? Perfect...

Sneak Peek: Vision Stabilization 60 FPS video. Well... it's debatable of this is better or not. I like some aspects of it but I think it's too smooth. Would have to play it to be able to tell really. Not sure if this is going into 2.6 or not but it kind of sounds like it.

This week's ATV: Full video here. Audio Design: Various sounds in space created to communicate action to players. DevOps: They discuss what we talked about here before regarding size of patches and what's coming to reduce patching faster. This one is critical to me personally cause my internet...

You guys were discussing a specific type of AI as unique to EQN. It's not. Just because you have a bias against me personally or SC does not suddenly mean it's off topic to bring up the fact that other games have that type of AI planned.. in this case just one. One person commented SC has...

On a related interesting note, in terms of patching, one of the internal builds of SC hit 200GB in one branch according to the August Studio Report. 40GB was the smallest internal branch build. For comparison in May of last year the leak that included the lion's share of the assets for SC was...

SC is not about NPCs? Players are slated to be 10% of the living world. They have spent the past two years designing and then putting in R&D the tech to make a very compelling AI that has a life cycle and memory of your relationship to them. When not in any visual capacity to other players...

New ATV today. Full video here. Breakdown: Light/Medium (maybe Heavy) armor coming with SC Alpha 2.6: Short clip on Final Pass on Male Marine armor sets. This should be the versions that are released with the final product. This is the modular armor system they talked about well over a year...

That's probably reasonable. However we can't take into account the typical accounting corporations do since we only know their UK financials and not the NA financials. Beyond the tax loophole shit all corporations do the UK/German offices are setup so they get a rebate on top of that. It's...

Then you really should watch that interview I posted. Chris goes into some detail about the design philosophy and how that will play into post 3.0 production/rollout of assets/features. But if you don't have time it's basically this; SQ42 does not require the range of features SC does and so...

So this is probably the most up to date interview with Chris Roberts. It's not on YouTube so I can't link to it directly and can't break it down by question. I hate in-bedded video. Basically he answers a bunch of relevant questions including where they are with SQ42 and the release.

They have had a patcher since the early Module days. It was moved over to the Launcher when that was released with 1.1.6 Aug 6th, 2015. They have been working on refining it further since but major changes could not be made to the patcher until this year due to the code merge from the various...

Blackwulf FYI I linked that video on page 163 with the breakdown of each answer. Also that video is out of date (Aug 5th). Within a week or two of that being filmed the German office got a break through in getting StarNetwork 1.0 running which is why it's slated to go in with 3.0 now. Back...
