Finally listening to the stream.

Not too promising, tbh. [uhh]


*Heh* What was your first clue that things just "ain't right" with CIG behind the scenes?

The fact not one iota of actual gameplay was actually played on stage? Or that for the vast majority of the presentation, CIG had virtually nothing to talk about but some wannabe Facebook-alike service they are trying to create in-game?
 
I think what disappoints me - outside all ED vs. SC baggage, I am highly subjective, never said otherwise - is SC gameplay. It doesn't click with me. SC claims to be first person, but everything feels very third person gamey. Ok, we can assume iteration interface is a bit WIP, but still I am not sure it is right way to go. As I have said before walking around and interactions are very jerky, very unpleasant to eye. Maybe it is different when you play it. Planets or no planets, tons of gameplay features or not, if SC is not pleasant to play - what's the point?

For SC to be more than tech demo they have to move beyond beautiful art assets. Which they seem to really struggle with.

Yes that´s exactly what I been saying for years now.....game just don´t clicks with me either when I am playing from the 1PV,especially flying part as you said it´s very jerky+twitchy&fast paced...just lame....but It´s not all that bad when you switch and play from the 3PV(Freelancer style),sure it is kind of arcadish but I am srry the Devs make sure to made FM like that....I have that same feeling for years now,it is like someone trying to force me to play an arcade game on way that Simulation should be played....that shoe simply don´t fit..I wish CIG somehow change&fix FM to feel more like a true sim but I doubt that will ever happened....and if it stay´s like this then in my opinion it´s way better if they give us hud for the 3PV.....

Who wants to bet it'll need a credit card for "verification" purposes, offer a "freemium" level of functionality, but only let you use the advanced features if you subscribe ;)

Um, there's been hints for a while. ;)

I'm about 1/2 way through the stream and it's painful to listen to.

SQ42 sounds massively incomplete/mangled, esp. if they couldn't wrangle 30 mins of footage out of what they already have.
 
I think we need a list of everything CIG have presented in many years of videos that is a direct ri<cough> homage to existing sci-if.

Genuine Roberts always wanted to make a movie. He wanted the Hollywood lifestyle. I think he has it - just like everything else in Hollywood, not a single original idea to be found amidst the endless torrent of rebooted unoriginal swill.
 
So they created maps for this presentation, SC is map base, maps made in World creator :D I would do that in a weekend too, the maps not the worm thingy.
