Now McGlashan 30 minutes elapsed between those posts in that time more funding was received and the scope changed.
You could have added a bit more.
They want controllers to work, stick, mouse or other.

AFAIK performance capture by actors for SQ42 was done but not performance capture for INTERACTIONS like Star Marine and other smaller issues.
The CIG version of revisionist history. "nothing was canceled"

A whole blog created as an opinion piece to counter a blog created as an opinion piece.
Please somebody make a new blog to counter this opinion.
The problem is when you get this far down the rabbit hole, the reader is fully aware of all of the circumstances and players involved, and has already formed their opinion. So it's just echo chamber fodder. They are doing a fantastic job in adding even more notoriety to DS's original work.
Wrong, Stig. That's what you said.
Like I said a crappy freelancer style control system "merely have the ship follow the mouse".
I said this:
Should the ship NOT follow the mouse? (This sets aside the point that you don't get 6DOF with a mouse in the first place. So you're already limiting yourself. That's not the game's limitation.)
I'm interpreting YOUR description. I pointed out quite clearly that using a mouse is limiting what the ship is capable, compared to a stick user. I didn't say "the ship merely follows the mouse".
Why can't you discuss what I actually said, instead of rephrasing it into something I didn't? You're trying to win an argument I haven't even made.
Why this 'best space sim ever' jokes keep popping up? Because they can't be serious. You don't make best space game ever. You try to make very good game which just works first.
I got 143 Million problems but DS ain't one
If you got DS problems I feel bad for you, son...
Nope:
If the script isn't done, the performance capture isn't done. And we all know how Roberts loves coming up with excuses to get back into the director's chair.
This is actually not really clear.
Performance capture to SQ42 does not have to mean any kind of large changes or even actors called in to make extra roles. It can simply be performance capture for 3d movement of character bodies or smaller actions.
So it can be anything from an actor actually ACTING full performance to an extra doing bodily actions and performances for NPC and other character movement.
So it's PROBABLY not they reshooting scenes with Mark Hamill having to go back and remake the scenes with John-Rys Davies.
Two things.
Thing one, I was replying to Snarfbuckle you toilet. Go back and check instead of getting all pretend upset on the internet.
Thing two, you don't call me Stig to you I'm Mister Bob.
We dont know if the is called Stig, Bob, StigBob or Mister Bob, all we know is, that he's called The Stig.
Yup. As I've always said, they're the worst thing that could ever happen to this project. Not even croberts could have caused as much PR damage as they have.

Well, the problem is that capturing the performance is merely the very first step in the pipeline for getting the animations into the game. There's a hell of a lot of work involved in cleaning up that data so that it is actually usable.

The CIG animation team have years of work ahead of them just to process the (supposedly) huge amount of mocap data shot.

This is my favourite post that I can think of in recent times - my rep button all dun broke!
Cleaning the coffee off my screen, ATM!
Can't rep you any more!
Will folks like Snarfbuckle, Thorn and Orlando put their money where their mouths are and pay more to keep the project alive?
Say CR decides that it's going to be a MVP, will they still play it?
Just curious.
