The Star Citizen Thread v5

[KING5TON]

The hypocrisy in this thread is quite frankly astounding.
Some of the posters in here complaining about SC fanboys when they do the exact same for ED is sickening.
Practice what you preach!

What I read between the lines here is FEAR. Some people so scared of SC because for some weird reason they've latched onto ED like ticks and they see SC as a threat to ED. It's mental.

From what I've seen of SC it's looking promising. I backed it at the lowest level some time ago but I don't follow it like I used to follow Elite. If they release a good game eventually then great, if they don't then it's another reason not to crowd fund ever again as people can't be trusted to deliver what they pitched.

Now do an entire planet with different biomes using that level of detail and post a video of it running in-engine at a good framerate.
I'm not asking you to do a big planet, of course. A small planet of 2000Km radius will be enough.

Perhaps CIG should also do a full planet and not just a small area. Although even if they had done a full "planet", hint they didn't, its still a CIG planet and as such does not even count as a moon. Funny how you expect higher standards from others and have such low standards for CIG. Why do people have to keep lowering the bar for CIG in order for the fan to push SC over it?

i can't wait to see what all of you will write in this thread within a year (or so).

That sounds familiar...oh, yeah - "I can't to see what you will write when Citizencon comes out and SQ42, Star marine and jebus patch 3.0 are delivered." Same thing we wrote when those dreams failed I guess. Or maybe we'll write - "Can you believe it's been 6 months since RSI went belly up and there are still people telling us it's so going to release anytime now and we'll eat our words?"

Try to stay on topic.

Fear of what? Wetting myself laughing?

Thanks for explaining, I didn't realize I was terrified at the prospect of another game in my favorite genre.

I mistakenly thought star citizen was a comically badly run project wasting lots of backers money, but now I've ridden the worm of truth I shall don my fedora and purchase a Polaris forthwith.

But putting that aside, wheels tend to hover or get stuck above the surface every now and then, especially when you hit bumpy terrain.

That's just what they call 'packing'. All suspension does that if the rebound dampers are set too slow. Sounds like they need a word with one of the guys in the factory

 

[Hi-Ban]

No. You just tried to dismiss opinions, speculation and make yours sound as facts, instead your own opinion/speculation.

Anyway, backing to the point that you tried to deviate with unrelated comments, you pretty much said a silly thing, as we get used to hear from you, then was proven wrong once again, because nobody said that "an editor can't be done", but you tried to make to appear that people said that and now RSI prove them wrong.

You should just admit that was wrong in your statement and move on. That was what a mature person, as I saw you claiming that you are many times, would do.

I never said that people said that "an editor can't be done". I challenge you to quote me saying that. But you indeed tried to dismiss opinions, speculation and make yours sound as facts, instead your own opinion/speculation.

What i said is that having entire planets with that level of detail being built on a quick way and running in-engine on real time, that is what people said "can't be done". And CIG proved them wrong with that video of the editor. If you read the posts you would have understood that. Neither i was wrong, nor it was a silly thing. It looks like you just misread it.

So you should just admit that you misread it and move on.

 

[Dooguk]

To be fair, I am afraid of refactored starworms.

 

[1500]

Fear of what? Wetting myself laughing?

Yes because it there is no possible way we could buy the game if it turned out to be good. You know if that miracle every happened and CR left the project and someone competent showed up. Heck I would take someone with an actual vision. Why do people keep saying that CR has a good vision when all he can do is copy everyone else's stuff? Very little originality comes out of CIG.

Someone criticised me a few days ago for saying "i guess" "my opinion" etc... many times on my posts. I guess that answers your question.

Of course, when i post stuff like that the lower image is an improvement over the upper one (see below), that's a fact:

I really don't see what you are getting at, atmospheric planets with vegetation is not in ED at the moment so we can't compare, however nothing shown are game breaking in any way.

I am sure you can post the quotes then right? Or are you just making that up? Also CIG have yet to actually prove that wrong. You do understand that CIG has to actually release this stuff for that to happen right? CIG would have to pump out planets to prove that wrong.


I am not sure what you think happened, but CIG have in no way shown that they can produce full planets, again SC planets are smaller then moons, in that type of detail quickly because they have not actually released anything yet.

We've been rumbled! Quick, distract him with a plagiarised worm!

 

[Tippis]

except the fact that is tedious to drive ...

You're doing it wrong.

Oh, they already shut up the naysayers with the editor presentation. You know, what we saw in the editor, people claimed "it can't be done". Well, it's been done now.

What did they show that anyone has claimed can't be done? Aside from using far more memory than anyone would reasonably expect, that is.

If you want a game to run in old hardware, you must dumb down the graphics. Isn't it obvious enough?

No, because you don't “dumb down” graphics. That's not a thing. You reduce detail, which is something vastly different.

Of course, when i post stuff like that the lower image is an improvement over the upper one (see below), that's a fact:

http://i.imgur.com/uSdbyWx.png

No, it's not a fact unless they're supposed to represent the exact same terrain, atmospherics, lighting conditions, or hell even just the same planet. What it actually is is you speculating wildly from a position of ignorance about what the target appearance is supposed to be.

 

[AJW]

Yes because it there is no possible way we could buy the game if it turned out to be good...

Funnily enough, I did see a post from a 'citizen' somewhere suggesting that CIG should ban anyone who had ever got a refund from ever purchasing the game. [wacky]

 

[Y'Berion]

LOL, are you serious?

He does have a point, though. I was following SC thread on this forum for quite some time but as I said, I didn't want to get involved because I have only moderate interest in that game. However, I couldn't but notice that the hate level is unbelievable. CiG gets smacked for everything - when they deserve but even more so when they realistically do not.

We criticise ED where it is appropriate. And plenty of long and vivid debates in this forum are constant proof of this.
Frontier doesn't ban people for "not fully supporting the project". CIG did, and still does.

So yes, we do what we preach.

You must read the previous posts some pages ago to know what was that about. It's has nothing to do with ED, by the way.
In that pic, i show the SC planets v1 (upper image, from gamescom demo) and the SC planets v2 (lower image, from citizencon demo). Some people here claimed that there was absolutely no progress done from v1 to v2, that they were the same. I posted that image so they could see the obvious progress done in texture quality and amount of detail.
