So watching all these interviews it's obvious that they reached the initial content creation stage but aren't quite there yet. There are still a large number of features that they haven't even started working on that will need to be in the game like Jump Points. It's very interesting hearing...

Parallel development is how computer games are built so we may only see the obvious stuff, like new ships added, during the down time months between major feature rollouts like 2.0 to 3.0 but tons of features are worked on all at once. What isn't being worked on at once is some unique features...

Even I'm not sure anymore so I give up predicting the release date. Tony who is in charge of the Persistent Universe, when asked in his last interview, stated that you need a solid foundation for the end game features you hope to have and that's the game development philosophy he pushed with...

Honestly I was surprised they got this much working so far. Didn't expect them to merge grabby hands with animations, a fully working rover, atmospheric entry and free reign with a ship on a planet including air support for ground ops. I knew before that the game was seamless but it's one...

Star Citizen: 2016 Gamescom Live Game Demo Enjoy.

I wasn't going to sign up as I felt my contributions over the past year+ has been utterly useless and a waste of time getting almost nothing but flak and some trolls but it was nice to be wrong. Thanks a_skeleton_03. If anyone likes me thank a_skeleton_03. If anyone hates me thank...

hodj at least the other people here made an attempt to address facts around the game even if they created it out of thin air. Every comment you ever wrote here has been empty bluster you non-contributing zero. I didn't come back for hodj or some other idiot. I came back to post what some of...

Because I already answered all these questions numerous times. You don't like reality so you create your own. Clearly you need reinforcement from the rest of these pricks so please don't let me interrupt again.

I have an opinion but it's an informed opinion that's the ONLY thing separating me from most of you. I'm not an expert and have said as much numerous times when challenged. It's not that some of you don't have knowledge on certain subjects, hell far more than me, but on the things I address...

Your comment just tells me you're ignorant about the subject and literally talking out of your ass because fuck it something has to amuse you. Run out of porn? You could literally know more just by going to the wikipedia page for them and looking at it. Any new AAA IP is 5+ years...

You think game development doesn't naturally include moving the goalpost constantly? Is this your first time ever seeing how a game is developed? Didn't you ever bother to follow any of the other major studios that talked about their development process post release? There are tons of them...

Well you can't be wrong if you move the goalpost.

Did you guys actually play the Wing Commander series games and Freelancer because I remember playing entirely different games from most of you crying out for that type of gameplay. You realize they were some of the only "mass market" games that had actual physics in them with sim like features...

Fixed that for you.

I actually posted information on that further up with links. Don't expect useful information from the usual suspects. I think a total of 3 of us actually posted content here.

Still clinging to your zero-sum game theory. Didn't realize game developers were supposed to be building brick shit houses.

I already addressed this. No I'm not a game dev. Yes I do know more than most of you about game development but only because the majority of you peak at how to chat troll putting you slightly above a random person off the street. Barely. I'm not a special snowflake.

What you don't realize is that this quote means whoever wrote it also has no idea how game development works. Anyone commenting that it accurately reflects game development in the industry is either incompetent or did not work at that level but may have used the tools that resulted from such...

Check out the video I linked above to their comment. I made it clicky. Chris goes into some detail on what's happening with the engine. If you don't have time TLDR is the German crew that built CryEngine, or some of them, have been quietly rebuilding the entire guts of CryEngine basically...

Sure why not. I'll humor this train wreck of a thread one last time. My comments under yours in bold.

Glad you won't be playing it. One less asshole in my games is always welcome. There are are far too many as it is.

Self awareness? You and the rest never formed a coherent argument because you don't know anything about the game or the industry. Shouldn't you be suckling on DS' twitter or browsing the SA forums for ammo?

Sure I'm biased. Everyone is biased and has opinions. If you are looking for an unbiased source forget it. That doesn't exist in news or gaming news. Period. I have tried pretty hard to ensure that when I say something that is my opinion it's obvious that it's just an opinion. But it's...

You're still trolling. You haven't said one fucking thing to back up your fact free assertions in this entire thread. You are one of those people that cheery pick an argument for the sake of arguing and try to cut others down by bringing them down to your level where you beat them with...

The Aurora is a multi-purpose starter ship. A noob ship if you will. If you went into Arena Commander as a noob you would likely face space superiority fighters like the Hornet, M50 and Gladius. As long as you don't mind dying it's ok but I would suggest just getting into the game at large...

With what evidence? Keep making shit up. That's all you have done in this entire thread from day 1. You and that other idiot are the reasons this thread keeps going in circles. No amount of information, knowledge, evidence has any impact on what you say. You literally live in a fucking...

Be an asshole to me. Don't fucking mislead other people. You can make that comment when the game is considered launched/failed or whatever comes at the end.

What ship do you have? Not all ships are meant to be dog fighting power houses. But the ones that aren't tend to have some other utility. The game is meant to have ships used for things other than fighting since those roles will exist once they are implemented. Trading/Scavenging/Mining etc...

No you people are just being man children and fucking trolling me again. Nobody is that fucking dense. I made my point crystal clear and addressed a specific aspect of how laws and their interpretation don't realistically reflect game development and how that stifles the games industry...

So because I'm not addressing your strawman and discussing an entirely different point I'm the one missing the point. This is why I left for a couple of months.

Way to obfuscate and miss the point entirely. This is why we can't have nice things.

It may not be obvious how big of a deal a single feature can be and what impact that can have on a project. I'll give you a direct example I know in fact happened. Dragon Age: Inquisition uses the Frostbite 3 engine. It's what they used to build Battlefield 4 and the upcoming Mass Effect...

And there in lies the issue with crowdfunding of any project that isn't a simple rehash. Basically if a law says that you must meet a timetable and if you fail the customer can demand a refund and you are unlucky enough that enough people are convinced the world is about to end it turns into...

Yeah they know about it. They aren't releasing statements but some of the head guys talked about it recently. Basically it comes down to animations still not being final. Some of the tech required to make all this work has to be re-written by the original CryEngine people since CryEngine...

It's always good to know when policy changes. On another note 2.4 is out. Don't expect earth shattering changes but some major fundamentals are now in one being where your character's center of gravity is. This really only matters for Zero G. If you're waiting for a complete planetary...

Well that's why I and I think others here argue that games with set level limits inevitably lead to a system that eats itself. With all of EVE's faults it does it's own thing in the end game that nobody can really replicate but it's still a horrible system that just delays the inevitable to...

Having played EQ from early on I have to agree. I personally made lifelong friends there. That's not really possible in today's super casual games where most interactions last a few minutes. There is literally nothing on the horizon that can cater to what people are talking about here short...

Because I felt like pissing everyone off.

Coming from a pair of 980s in SLI I'm not seeing the benefit even with a 1440p monitor at 144 so long as you're running a g-sync monitor that can handle the frame rate variance. Most of the problems come from shit console ports like The Division anyway. Pass. I'll keep my eye out on the...

But it's not their money. Developers and Publishers are rarely one and the same. The Blizzard and Valves of the world don't make up the entire gaming industry. Developers don't have a say in PR. Ever. They didn't put up the money and so contractually they are in a very weak position to...
