CR resigns? :O
I thought they already monitored O2 levels in the blood for the utmost reality and immersive fidelity?
And no doubt 'representation' is one of those convenient words that can mean whatever you choose it to. The video described specific technology - a network LOD system based on dynamically-resized volumes of gaming space, facilitating large numbers of players in a single shard. Technology which neither conforms to your earlier so-called 'explanation' which redefined 'instance' half way through, thereby not actually explaining anything, nor to CR's 2012 description of "temporary multiplayer 'battle' instance

Between this terrible showing and Mr Braben's discussion of science informing gameplay, my pity for CIG has (re)developed into anger. A walking thumb with $120 million could only dream of what Braben has accomplished in the same timespan with considerably less than half as much (if even that). Indeed, that seems to be all he has been doing, dreaming. So much for respect for the fans.
The launch ED cost 20 million over 2 years to make, FD have been spending about 10 million a year on it every since. This is from the financial statements released by FD.
In terms of space not actually being "space" in game, really its not that big of a deal. No game will actually model that or implement something like that, after all there is no "air" in space (unless that is the point of thee game), but even flight games don't have air. So most games would implement it in a similar way as CIG has done. Difference is what other companies would check everyone in the airlock not just the person that pushed use. And other companies implement walls/floors, and not the vague idea of walls that CIG have done. Also other companies don't try to claim they are modeling everything, while CIG does this all the time, and then falls on their face when it is proven time and time again that they cheat and its nothing like they claimed. Kind of like how we would be controlling a pilot that would be controlling a ship, vs reality is that the player just becomes the ship.
Its still not modeling air molecules, just its effect on the airplane. Vs CIG's claim to model the air molecules going into the lungs or some such thing they claimed.

It's modelling air, or atmosphere, which CIG claims to be modelling space, or the lack of atmosphere, which they clearly aren't. It's all trigger based.
No, no one models molecules - that is impossible. But they should be modelling the lack of Oxygen, declaring certain aspects Oxygenated at a percentage level and others that aren't. There's a whole host of ways to properly model it, not the way they are doing it.

Its funny that one of the first things CR told the public about SC, would end up being the only thing true.

But again, why bother? It would have no impact on the player. Its just more of the ridiculous nature of CIG. Modeling the oxygenation of the air? I mean really? That can be easily faked and no one would be able to tell the difference. You don't need to model it in a space sim.

I can't wait for players to start giggling and losing hand-eye coordination and logical thinking as their O2 levels drop:

Really, we all know it will be just a simple:
Code:
if (o2level <= 0.0) {
commandoDead = True;
}For the average backer, how would you tell the difference?
Based on many of the backer comments and gameplay videos, that part seem to already be implemented in the game.
The guy suffering from O2 deprevation doesn't have pamphlets in his hand, trying to convince you to join the best darn
