The Star Citizen Thread v5

Im guessing they will show something quite cool, but again - devil in the detail.

Said no one ever who tried to drive one in Mass Effect....

If it drives like the Mako than... well it will be problematic indeed...

Hey! I LIKED driving the Mako.

Git gud, etc.

So, just stopping by. Any big reveal yet?

 

[Stigbob]

There was an amazing reveal, but with the monitors facing away from the customers nobody noticed.

Not following but I was under the impression that big reveal (if big reveal there is) would be a Citizencom, or whatever they call it.

Looks to be from the press area at Gamescom. Image on the screen shows a guy in a lift on a planet with trees?

Nice 360 console game they have there in development. But what is the keyboard doing there?

I imagine that it's just a controller plugged into a PC.

There are no trees, the windows seems to be just dirtier. Any more details are just washed away.

Terrapin looks to be one of the better looking ships of SC. Less airplane in space and more actually spaceship.

Edit: I have begone to wonder if CIG didn't have the funds to unlock other colors in cryengine, everything they make is another shade of grey.

50 shades of citizens.

New NPC system in 2.7 at End of Year? This would be the much vaunted "Subsumption"?

Actually 3.0 by the end of the year. Will have seamless planet landings. Or so CR is now saying.

Interview with Chris Roberts from Gamescom Press Booth

Quick cliff notes:

• PG being used but the emphasis is on active design
• Presentation looks to be what 3.0 entails. The main occupations contained in the open world and the continuity between quest threads.
• Developer number is about 330 people at present. Talk about the structure of development and who oversees what.
• Hints at CR's want for grabby hands to happen (!)
• Talk about the last 2 years being about refactoring and updating Cryengine.
• Looks like a prototype of grabby hands is in the demo they are showing (!)
• Vague mention of farming (?)
• Talk of SC being a "Live product" even well after launch.
• Shooting for a game that people will play even 10 years after launch. Similar to Eve and WOW.
• Hints at Citcon revealing more multiplayer/coop aspects

Hehe already arguments on the reddit about what grabby hands means and if it is in the demo or not!

 

[ripptide]

The only thing revealed by the CIG Gamescon stream and showing is how lacking their tech demo is in anything related to gameplay, stability, or any of those other "addons" gamers tend to want. But hey, new jpg for sale, so there's that.

We just don't understand grabby hands

I'm reminded of that spoof video from one of the previous shows where he makes an announcement and everyone back in the office are just stunned, no one wants to tell anyone about how far behind they are.
