Lets face it, if the voice over had been David Braben and we were being shown ED Spacelegs we would all be creaming our collective undies right now.

Negative, I do not care one bit about "space legs" - I care more about atmospheric flight and how that will work/behave a million times over than "space legs."

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.

That´s the thing....for me honestly the best part from the presentation was when Sean Tracy show 2 us some new capabilities in the CE improved game editor.....from other side after seeing that you had to ask yourself with this kind of capabilities and 300 working man how hard is to make an staged demo event like the one we just saw last night?

I see first person happening anytime soon as a marketing dream, but a gameplay blunder...

And with 'marketing dream' you mean 'what lots of people want', and with 'gameplay blunder' you mean you'd rather see something else? No need for window dressing, having opinions is allowed here! ;)
 
That's unbelievable

I bet the lore for that guy riding that sandworm is a "freyman" or something similarly idiotic, like everything else CIG has come up with so far

Somehow CIG steals great IP and makes it suck
 
Fans and sceptics at least seemed to agree that Squadron 42 would be a big part of this show. The fact that not only is the game not coming any time soon (which wasn't exactly a surprise), but also that they couldn't even cobble together five minutes of cutscenes to show the fans is a bit mind-blowing at this stage. S42 is supposed to be the easy one, the one which isn't hamstrung by bad network tech, that doesn't need all the professions or hundred star systems, and which cultists like to claim is a completely separate game and not dependent on everything that's broken in SC. And the one on which they've reportedly spent tens of millions of dollars on mocap. And still, nothing. And this wasn't a CIG stand at a trade show, it was a show entirely devoted to their own games.

I'm just amazed that they actually managed to fall short of my own, slightly sarcastically low expectations.

No... What people imagine it will give them, vs what it actually will, and at the expense of what else (still left unfinished).

This exactly. And i am still trying to wrap my head around it... again no s42 - i expected this last year and was surprised to only see the cheesy speech.

But there's 20 hours of mocap (blimey) and an 1100 page script (double blimey) in the can!

I can't wait*.

* That was sarcasm.

I'm sure that first they did the MoCap (because CR likes MoCap, he goes full George Lucas then), then they wrote a script, and now they realised they need the tech to make a game with this material.
