He isn't really young enough to be a rockstar anyway. He's a fattened liar whose words are become meaningless among all the lies he spread. There is a point here you can't absolve yourselve anymore. He's so far over that deadline he himself has become stale. And so has the idea of the everything game.
With Joel and Ellie there looking nothing like Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, Naughty Dog clearly need to up their facial capture game, they should contract in CIGYeah, me too. However...it's an absolutely hateful PC port. 30 minutes of loading shaders for a start. I've got it running fine on a mix of ultra/high/medium graphics setting with DLSS on quality...but jeez, it sucks up VRAM like the idiot Roberts' wallet hoovers up dollar bills
Hopefully they'll get it sorted with a patch as a matter of urgency...the highly anticipated launch absolutely bombed on Steam purely due to the abysmal PC port. A crying shame, one of the best games in a decade ruined with a crappy port from PlayStation to PC by a 3rd party studio who has a sordid history of doing it before...Iron Galaxy...we're looking at you
In game screenshots using the built in photo mode...they're not taken from cutscenes...so it's pretty at least.
So what happened to the space motion capture studio now? It's still running? making motion capture for SC NPCs? Hired out to Hollywood movie studio to make their (worsening Disney) CGI?

No one asks, because there is no accountability.
Funny, because the backers and Chris believe things go better without publishers holding anyone accountable. In theory, the backers should be taking on the role of the publishers, holding them accountable for how their money is being spent, but they don't do that, they just cheer CIG on as they continue to faff around.
Well no wonder you think EDO is the cat's meow, LOL.I'm now rocking 12900, 64GB DDR5, 4090 with a 48" OLED monitor for playing mostly EDO!
How would they do that when they have no rights to do so. Only their wallets, though...
Yes, their only real power is by stop giving CIG money. Problem is, many older backers have done that, but there are always new suckers.

600 millions spent. 11+ years of work. This is the same company whose CEO says it is going to develop the Best Damned Space Sim Ever including such feats as "server meshing" allowing thousands of players be in the same area, "subsumption" AI going about their actual lives 24h a day or having such a rich narrative and campaign detail rivaling games like Rockstar´s.

Those AI aren't idle, they're all thinking deep thoughts.
3 points :
Server meshing is not here. CIG can create planets but can't give access to them without SM.
The planet tech is not the final iteration (V4 for now). For each planet that CIG could make with the planet tech V4, it could be that CIG would be obliged to remake them if the next iterations change too much the proc gen algorithm.
For now, the proc gen of planet tech is only about the base planet (ground, mountains, etc). There is a lot of manual tuning after the creation. One of the Turbulent objective is to add as much of proc gen as possible also for POI (station/outpost/cave) generation, but all POI will have manual tuning as CIG don't want 100% proc gen.
Thanks!, another "re-" word to my list;
Rewrite, Rework, Remake.
Does anyone remember any more to include in the list?
Clarification: Refund is not valid, it is not accepted by CIG...

Interesting, thanks for the explanation.
CIG is pretty good at creating assets/shaders/raymarching/etc. They know this tech (they talked about it) so if they say it has a cost, we can only believe them. They have strong constraints that many games do not have (low flying at high speed above the ground, ground visible from space to a close up zoom, merging of biomes, etc) (Note : I don't have precise knowledge about all this stuff so I don't know if it's relevant or not). The small cost is perhaps a not so small cost with one of their constraint.
Really?
Is there no possibility of "doubting them", or "doubting their ability"? Can we only "blindly believe in their words"?
I think that, after 11 years of "mistakes", "bad previsions", "roadmap corrections", "date cancellations", maybe we could at least start to "doubt a little" their words.

Funny thing with this is that it seems NPCs are going out of their way to stand on chairs, as if the floor is electrified."AI should no longer stand idle on chairs and benches." - CIG, 2020

They might be afraid of falling through the floor?
