Geez...I thought the stutters were on my end.
Ha Ha Me too. How does Roberts do that?
I feel sorry for these guys.
Ganuine Roberts has scammed them just as bad as he's scammed the average backer.
Admiration for continuing to try and "spread the good news".
But none of that is impressive "progress" from over a year ago.
LAN party with horrid ping times.
The missile cam quit working unexpectedly.
Weapon pick-ups or power packs isn't amazing or 'never done before'.
The combat was meh.
5 paint jobs, one of which won't even be in-game. ED has tons of paint jobs you can apply to ships and see in-game now. The paint has a working wear mechanic in the game and ships can be re-painted in starports.
FD has less than 1/3 the employees working on ED that CIG has had for 2 years working on SC. Allowing CIG 2 years ramp up and design time (discounting all CR statements that they were well on their way in 2011), and an additional 2 years development time, they should right now be able to release something approaching ED v1.0. Or maybe at the least, updating the mini-PU in the same regular waves as FD did, rolling in the core mechanics with major updates during Alpha every couple of months.
I feel sorry for the devs. Art and lighting are great. 3D modellers have done the job asked of them. The problems all stem from decisions at the top and that is where responsibility for all the wasted money at CIG sits.
For CIG to buy a $15-$20,000 space door (much less renovate a Hollywood studio), using money given by backers "to develop a game" with the game in the state it is, and then flat-out lying to backers about it being "old plywood and a used garage door opener"; I don't even . . . that right there perfectly captures the issues with the project leader's mind-set and the cognitive dissonance of the true believers.
I can't disagree there - the interiors are seriously impressive.
*Edit - Considering that it's the interior of a ship that travels around...

Yes like all of their epic videos are impressive doesnt change what comes out and is playable in the end. Thats the sad thing, they show incredible stuff but fail to deliver it to the players.
Of course, same old crap. All show, no go under the hood. No idea how it will play, no demonstration of what playing will be like, no idea what the game will be doing other than "look at the shiny distraction and give us money!"
Why would it be any different...people have bought into that ruse since the beginning
Forgive my ignorance, but I firmly believe to have seen the majority of this pre-rendered footage two goddamn years ago.
Sure it's been polished and given a bit of extra paint, but the bridge shots and tactical room shots I'm 100% sure I've seen before.
Are we sure the rabid fanboy part of the SC community doesn't just have a memory deficiency?

Well they should be very similar as it is the same ship (Bengal) shown since the very first trailer. The characteristics remain while they have fattened and streamlined the rest of the ship.
