There was every intention to show sq42 , the whole of citizencon was based around it. They had a decent looking demo. The problem was the gameplay element, the animations were not working as intended and they had no control over what may or may not happen. The anims are fundamentally screwed at this point and it’s a massive concern.
Last year on the morrow tour they managed to script in the things they needed, a risky strategy as again it didn’t work properly and if the controller had looked in the wrong direction you would have seen a huge crash or at the least a mass of geometry flying into space. They couldn’t get that this time. Hence the delay and the hastily refactored presentation.
SM is not ready, it doesn’t work. Everything about it is broken. There is no miracle patch coming out December with pro gen planets in it.

- Sq42 is all chapters
- You won’t see it until, more likely 2019 as its still in blockout

Not sure what else to say really, everything I have already said has come to pass and you can see with your own eyes what’s now happening. Dev staff crunch for a demo, demo may or may not work. Meanwhile the tech guys make more and more progen assets that are then populated with artist made modular environment art.
There is clearly no AI and the tuskan raiders and Dune worm are test elements. The original forest planet they wanted to show didn’t work either.

Lazrin etc. This is not a scam never was but because of project management and scope creep you will not get the game you wanted as in ever. I think your posting on here is great as it prevents it becoming a     posting echo chamber but you are defending the indefensible. People paid thousands of dollars and queued up to watch a power point presentation that didn’t even work properly. Imagine any studio with even a tenth of CIG's budget showing what you saw a citizencon after 4 years. There are certain despicable     izens who I am glad are losing a lot of money as well as being made fools of , BUT there are a lot of decent people who trusted Chris with this. People who may have a hard time of it in real life who were led to believe they could have another life online where all their dreams would come true. Those people I feel sorry for and I hope they at least get justice when this vanishes into the ether at some point next year.

The opportunity has been missed I'm afraid. After a long and drunken evening even the kings men are not buying the fact that ‘we killed it’ with the tatouine mission.

I remember Quake 4, round about the same time Sin Episodes came and went which never had another episode - maybe that sounds familiar.

Play XCOM 2, I think that's the best game made if you forgive the performance problems. Actually I think the XCOMs are the purest of games available, you could play them as a board game (I know there is one.) Taken too much of my time really.

Think I've still got the original UFO: Enemy Unknown disks somewhere... Haven't got round to XCOM 2 yet, but I suspect it's another "Why are the birds singing? Oh, it's getting light." game. :)

It's bad, I remember Dungeon Keeper 2 telling me to go to bed at 3 in the morning which was a neat touch, I don't do that anymore of course. In the day with XCOM2 I have wondered about approaching the situations differently and want to get back to it. Not going to pretend I can play Iron Man which is no save, it's difficult as it is because the random seed is the same if you reload. I don't think I've had a completly impossible situation on the hard level but it's close, you can lose soldiers but a wipe out can end your game.

Hmm, I wonder what this particularly vocal and ardent CIG defender (A Star Citizen "Grand Admiral" no less http://i.imgur.com/DvM1m0c.jpg) has to say about what occurred 24 hours ago?

Remember those heady days after the Gamescom showcase when the gaming press wrote glowing(ish) articles about what was shown (on the final day, not mentioning the previous disastrous livestreaming days featuring what the actual game was LIKE to play) and how CIG was going places?

It seems no show of SQ42 has been made SC backers actually worried for first time. Judging by two sources - official and anonymous CIG dev - either it is just a scratch and it will be ready in no time (read three months won't be enough to make it ready for 2016 release), or if we can trust dev, Squadron 42 animations are fundamentally broken. Lots of money and working hours down the drain.

According to Derek sources cuts and layoffs are already planned.

Some people do weird things when they have their hopes and expectations ruthlessly crushed to oblivion, set on fire, the ashes ground into a fine paste and used as the filling of sandwiches you only ever find on motorway service stations at 3 in the morning.

Well I guess you didn´t hear the news....some shills now spreading this version...that apparently SQ42 is almost finished but CR didn´t want to spoil the big surpirise by shownig any part of it...it will remain mystery until the final delivery day....so he will keep it secret....he will keep it safe....that´s a heavy burden but CR& fellowship of the CIG will handle all future challenges....after all SQ42 is his....preciousss......
