Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

This will be a more and more interesting topic in Hollywood. What kind of deals are well known actors going to be offered? A one-off payment? A per-movie licensing out of their voice and appearance?
Pointing and laughing, I think. Disney's already used it for Star Wars to hide things like Vader retiring and Fluke aging (see: Respeecher) but gave the live actors credit. But the clock's ticking - eventually they'll be corpse puppets like Redenbacher.

Well, they recently said they had the "revolutionary" idea of paying background actors one day's pay, for permanent rights to use their image...forever. With never been done before ideas like that, Croberts is going to have to hussle.

So it looks like it's been the worst July in 5 years, and 70% down on last year:

Awww, looks like crappy servers and login problems don't generate long bars.

Sure, the FX in many ways actually look better than they did in the 2015 example, they are short, but its not as if they couldn't do that now, the Idris explosion is very much like that example.
I think what CIG are doing is saving some of the more dramatic FX for the things you would expect, like the Idris.
This is not a case of something they demonstrated and aren't actually doing, they are.

Having said that, i really like the destruction sequence in that video, now given that in 3.19 due to persistence ships have two destruction states, one intact so they persist with cargo and components in place and the other in pieces with a lot of the cargo and components lost, for the Connie and its latter stage of total destruction i would like to see the example in the video cleaned up for the newer FX and brought in.

I have mixed feelings about all this stuff. I welcome AI into these industry to wholesale replace actors as a personality. I've been pretty tired of seeing the same stars in movies and want movies to have unique characters rather than people see them because of who stared in them. Having said that the way the studios are going about AI, de-aging and stuff is to make it possible for them to replicate the same movie personalities rather than create original characters for the story.

Wasn't last month one of the highest "pledging" ever? Citizens are running out of money? Disappointing.





I've had an idea for a few weeks now that CIG might not be done with building their company yet. Chris Robertss obsession with being future proof could see them branching out into hardware manufactoring. We've had Star Engine, Star Citizen, say hellow to Star Machine, a Starcitizen only gaming console (cables guaranteed to reach the rack). You know Chris Roberts would love the idea of coming up with new techs or at least new words for SSD and everything else.
