Sadly SC has diverged significantly from what was offered at the Kickstarter. I'm not happy with the way it's going - it seems like it's gonna be a whole bunch of mini-games strung together loosely.

Well the way they are developing it seems is going that way.

What if SC was done in reverse?
They have the cryengine which is an awesome FPS engine. What if they developed the FPS exploring part first and then add flying ships around space like an extra? I bet it would've been done sooner.

Oh, did someone want a holographic Sandi? I got you covered.
(Pic I made for a joke thread a week or two ago.)

Warning: It is quite large. (Same size a the sample image used for the thread, I didn't just say I want this HUGE)

lol this thread is getting hilarious. I guess when ED released combat scenarios you guys thought Braben just wanted to make a combat sim.

I dont see them developing anything else now. Why can they show some of the progress on other areas? SQ42?

Time? Poor fashion since and does not have someone to do her makeup? Oh perhaps that should be the next stretch goal, hair and makeup support.

No photo shop?

Just tried AC commander again. Getting to the matches is now easier, also I didn't know how much easier this game was with a mouse. I usually play with my 360 controller and this time used the mouse, I'm so surprised that makes things so much easier. I tried playing Elite with mouse and boy did I crash xD.

On the other hand SC still has the best graphics, I do wish elite to have such a graphical improvement or at least get close on release date.

SC graphics + ED gameplay= Beta Blizz :D

Well how talented do you have to be to slap CIG, RSI and SC logo's onto stuff for nut cases that will buy anything.

Now, yes, that is true. But someone had to get them to that point. She's been marketing director since before the kickstarter. She's the cook that stirred up that stew.

Ya she really has done a good job, just pointing out that the fans made it a little easy on her. She is much better at marketing than the acting she does on the show or as shown by her failed acting career.

Makes you wonder if Wingmans Hangar was canceled just to give her a show. A show that I personally think is worse than Wingmans Hangar.

I must disagree. Wingmans hangar was cancelled because Eric is a dev and he needed ro get back to his job. I dont like the show either

I just tried MP in AC and my god...it's even 10x worst then just flaying around with horrible flight mechanics,soon as I start I get billion rockets locked on me I think I avoid 5-6 of them just by sending flares out...and boom that was it 30 sec of play...Second time after 1min game freeze,so I log in again and now I was pressing the engine-boost from start so that you can avoid madness that is going on in there after couple of min of idiotic flight I Did kamikaze on other player,very soon after that game freeze again.Honestly in my 30+ years of gaming experience this must be in top 10 of worst games I ever tried(yes I mean on Alpha&Betas) in my life considering that is AAA production it's just make me even more sick,I just want to forget it and erase it from my memory couse it's just not worth it any min of my life...

Its really a matter of opinion... The more I compare the two games, the less sure I am about which one looks better.

SC is more detailed for sure, but they have smaller ships and arenas. SC has a "Hollywood" kind of look, everything is shiny and clean.

The engines (Cobra VS CryEngine) are quite different and work very differently. You have beautiful painted backgrounds is SC, and actual real time space in E:D.

NOT a background texture :

And this :

I'm sure CryEngine could produce those images, but could you fly through it, in 1:1 scale? It remains to be seen.

Yeah, I'll have to disagree on this as well. Wingman has been I think taxed on time for quite a while and he is the Studio Director of Austin, so it makes sense for him to slowly step back a bit and concentrate more on his job. Honestly there really are not that many "good" people to go on camera, I mean a huge portion of these people are programmers/other type of people and not public speakers so it kind of makes sense why its kind of akward/bad

@Pomerlaw

Yeah I agree as well. There is only slight difference to be honest in the graphical quality between SC and Elite. I think Elite looks really good as well, the videos and stuff don't do it justice really. Also to your 1:1 question, SC is not going for 1:1 scale.

This exactly.

If you just look objectively at videos on YouTube I don't think either is graphically superior. But the functionality and look of the ED cockpit rules the roost and ED graphics represent full 1:1 scale geometry in 3D space for all the bodies such that you can go all around any of them which is something that will not happen in SC (maybe 1:100 scale after the 64-bit re-write, but not soon), nor will seamless landing on planets/moons. I'll take that over marginally better backdrop photograph/graphic.

SC trailers don't resemble AC to me. ED trailers look identical to gameplay (with the obvious exception of the fast wipes and enlarged menus).
