I wonder if the direction they're going in recently is to cater to the Chinese market?
The west seems pretty tired of Star Citizen now going by how skeptical random comments are.

The west seems pretty tired of Star Citizen now going by how skeptical random comments are.
I dunno if I could go back to IL2 after the developers posted some nonsense a while back.IL2 is so much on another level from SC, it's scary
Which is a shame, as their IL2 Korea game was looking particularly tasty.
Carrier ops with a Seafire? sign me up
I think, like I mention in my last post, its to cater for the 'big group' gameplay that they seem to be very much in favour of.
I tend to just play Flying Circus rather than the WW2 stuff in IL2 (As much as I still buy all the collectors planes and great battles maps). A replacement for Rise of Flight...although I still have that and all it's mods installed too
CIG stealing that IP isn't satire, this is bizarre. That's theft, used in their commerciali guess that is the fine line isnt it................. see i would say the above IS more satire. it is completely obvious what it is they are copying, i guess that is down to the hello kitty IP holders if they think it is funny or stealing.
not a million miles from itchy and scratchy on the simpsons or the social media platform "FriendFace" in the IT crowd imo. (oh and how could i forget the micky take of twitter in the GTA series (and the irony there is the name IS apt - that is decent satire imo )) - i wont post here as it could be considered mildly offensive
Like this person wasn't making money from stealing Chris's beautiful face.
Last thing I saw them produce I was interested in was a promise of a Swordfish in Cliffs of Dover... which would have been a hoot.I tend to just play Flying Circus rather than the WW2 stuff in IL2 (As much as I still buy all the collectors planes and great battles maps).

Gotta love a biplane in the WW2 era.

i still have IL2 somewhere (its not on steam and i cant remember my log in details ) i would like to go back to it however. i think its in vr as well iirc.
I forgot Cliffs of Dover for the spending list...and the spin-off, Desert Wings: Tobruk too

It is indeed VR...although I still use my Tobii eyetracker
Yeah, but those organized gameplay relies on large enough population to make it work (EVE). Either that or some serious PVE hook that encourage coop gameplay like Wildlands or ArmA. The buy the bestest ship looks to me to benefit the single players with a win at all cost mentality because unless an org can share assets and ships when the player who owns the best ship isn't online the group will still die to one griefer with the bestest ship.
What you day could very well be what CIG is aiming for, but they're not showing they could achive that.
Engineering was the sole reason I stopped playing ED...but entirely due to the implementation of it rather than the content. We'll see how Ci~G implement it, if and when it happens...but from what was described, I'm not too overly upset about it. Done well...which would almost be a first from Ci~G outside of mining, refining and salvage which are pretty good...when they work...and from what I took from the presentation, it doesn't sound too bad
I can't wait to get smoked in a dogfight by Legendary ships and guns! - Star Citizen Spectrum
Forget about building complex flight mechanics with depth where achieving max performance from a ship would take some learning and effort! Now watch yourself lose the turning angles inexorably as...robertsspaceindustries.com
Someone not happy with CIG basically adding engineering like in ED.
My main takeaway from citcon though...and my main concern...is that they're totally redesigning the entire game...basically, all the panels and presentations were talking about a new game starting from scratch with even core game engine mechanics being redone far outside of what we now have. It was like they were talking about a star citizen 2...and with no mention of a realistic timescale to do it all in.

I guess you're talking about this one:
funny to see obvious downgrade, but I assume 2023 was pre-rendered because impossible to run realtime with as much details.
I'd add it's pretty obvious its their M.O. since the beginning, just by mentionning the numerous times the Mess Hall was present in the monthly reports
Oh by the way, anyone fainted from Stendhal Syndrome during the Mess Hall scene?

And that without having completed, by far, the original promises in star citizen 1, which makes this star citizen 2 pretty much like.... star citizen 1 just with a different set of powerpoint slides.
What will blow our heads though is realizing that CIG can do this all over again for a star citizen 3 in a few years as long as we keep falling for it and keeping up any kind of missplaced hope.

His God is clearly not pleased with him. He should make more
Not the figurative 'we' though, I'll either be dead or just given up the waiting having sold all my SC chattels on the grey market for 20% of what I paid for them, it'll be a whole new generational breed of SC backer doing it by then

Did we finally get to see procedural eggs in the mess hall scene?
Been waiting for those for a decade now!
Wouldn't the procedural eggs be chickens though?
These are estimates Based on tax filings up to 2021 (original source). It may be inaccurate though.
Comment by VeritasXIV: "How the hell are the people on the Star Citizen forums letting Chris Roberts get away with paying himself $567,843.79 EACH YEAR, along with $400,602.45 for hos brother Erin, + a similar 6 figure amount for Sandi who does NOTHING?" ...... "That's $1.3 MILLION dollars per year going to his family rather than to trying to hire 1 of like 20 people on earth who have the technical skills required to actually create the netcode to make Star Citizen even close to the MMO Chris Roberts pitched us."
