So, Orlando - are you willing to go on record as to whether you think SQ42 will be released this year?
If that's e negative can you give an idea of when?
No pressure.

Yup. See L Ron Roberts and the Starcitizenologists in action yet again, as they tell the world how they are going to pull off the best entertainment event since the Neolithic, eliminate poverty, and bring about world peace through running around shooting imaginary spacemen.
Buy an Idris, save the world!!!!

True, gamescom was hilarious in its ineptitude — an entire festival dedicated to the ridiculous spectacle of incompetence will be a laugh riot. Until you realise that it's not a joke and that people actually believe in the nonsense.
Yes, they will. The volume of people who dislike them is perhaps more of an indicator of their public perception. For example, one might contend that Katie Hopkins is reasonably accomplished, but my word she's earned all the hate that comes her way.
I'd like Chris more if he were at least able to temper his enthusiasm. Coming across like he and his company are the saviours of PC gaming is not particularly appealing.
I don't think most here wish failure upon Chris and CIG. It's more that they wish the project were being managed differently so that the *chance* of failure is lower.
Fortunately we aren't all completely blinded to reality, and are able to spot the signs of a product going bad. Just sticking your fingers in your ears and going "la la la la la" isn't going to make the problems go away. There's every chance that Squadron 42 and SC are going to be really good games, but I'm not convinced that it'll be through good judgement and solid management.
You know, I'd take your posts more seriously were you to omit hyperbole like this.
Really not convinced that BBC Click should be held up as a paragon of gaming coverage (sorry Kate if you're reading!). The CIG coverage was basically a fluff piece. I'd love to see a Panorama episode about this game though.
So no actor has ever talked up a movie that they're in while simultaneously knowing that it's rubbish?
This is pretty much a staple of the film industry, so I have no idea why you take the word of a guy who's not got the first idea of the technical challenges of building a modern video game. How can Gary Oldman judge anything? It's not like there are the rushes and rough cuts that you get in film production, he needs to have played the game for context.
Now, Star Citizen may end up actually being good, in which case all power to it. Until there's a gold build of the product funder "hopes and dreams" are simply that.

It was allways my perception that Squadron 42 would be released in 2017 (Q1/Q2). That's based on all the delays already and the fact that there is no need to push release. Thankfully the game is being developed without a rope around it's neck like they usually are. It will release when it's ready. Just like every game should be.So, Orlando - are you willing to go on record as to whether you think SQ42 will be released this year?

What pressure? It's just a game, pressure is not having food to feed your kids, having your mother sick and no way to give her healthcare and so on.
This is all fun and games for people with nothing better to do (including me), it's worthless beyond the pixeland.
Hey, that's mine. I wonder who leaked it.
One yarrmepirate, so I guess Jezzah, shame it's in pic format, will make quoting harder, so far interesting read
It's weird that the SC supporters are happy with the CIG demo, but are not so quick to mention how the live-streaming of the current release went.
The parts that I watched? Not well.
No, you don't understand. It's because it's so good that they can't show anything from it other than a demo that looks like it was made in 2002, and the most dull and flat delivery of an uninspired and poorly shot talking head scene. After all, the best way to show something off is to roll out the aspect that everyone cares the least about.

I still think that Gamescom Demo was THE BEST LIVE GAME DEMONSTRATION ever showcased live. And the press showcases that, it literally went round and round the world gaining massive coverage and helping with the gain of $5 MILLION DOLLAS alone in the month of August. [up] Impressive indeed!

You really need to watch more game demonstrations.

Well played for answering.
I do think you overdo the hater thing though.
I remember being on a several month course in a classroom environment where after a while people twigged that this one particular guy claimed to have done everything - anything that go mentioned - he'd done it.
So it became sport amongst a few of us to casually drop more and more bizarre things into the convo to see if he'd claim them - and sure enough he did.
The best one was whether anyone had survived a deadly disease - and sure enough his hand went up..
No-one hated him - it was just normal run of the mill pith taking.
Which is how I feel about CR - it's just funny - provided you're not personally adversely affected - of course.

I love how hard is it for people to understand that some might find a state of SC after so long in development unsatisfactory. No, it must some deeply hidden conspiracy led by evil CEOs hiding in a shadow, planning to stop dreams from happening.

Could you please indulge me?
I love listening to all the armchair CEOs in this room who could manage a company going from 7 employees to 330 employees in a few short years, while developing a product.
Growing pains will happen regardless of the industry or who is in charge. To think you or someone else could do better in such a scenario is a bit naive.

Well you wouldn't need to personally do better.
With the money they've brought in you could afford to hire some pros and off down the pub.
Are you absolutely SURE you don't get paid by CIG? It's OK if you do, we won't judge. It's even better if you are paid in proportion to the money they make monthly.
Because otherwise it's really not healthy, this way you post about a video game.
The more I read of this guy's posts the more I'm convinced he's not even a backer and is just baiting people with his ridiculously effusive professions of love towards all things Croberts and Star Citizen.
I haven't even seen people who have dropped $30,000 on this game act in this manner...
So now Chris Roberts is the world's best CEO? Yeah, right...
And that is exactly the issue that CIG have. CR just has to be involved in everything, which is why nothing gets done, and delays pile up on top of delays.
