Don't forget swabbing the deck and changing the toilet paper in the jakes on WTFosaurus's Constellation. Totally emergent space bro gaming with saluting and maybe a monocle or top hat to seal the deal.

My...That sounds like a bunch more stuff than current popular gaming benchmark sea of thieves
So much bigger too
Yeah - but they didn't have to create a universe from scratch, write all the deep lore, and redefine fidelity.
Remember - it's nothing like the Morrow Tour any more! You've never seen anything like it yet!
*CIGdelity aside - that demo is very impressive! I remember way back discussing with peeps wether we'd see something like Riven rendered in real-time, which at that time was considered impossible for the foreseeable future. We are already way past that, and things can only get better from here on.
Oh and buy an Idris if you want Genuine Roberts to abandon development branch and get back on DX12 for this kind of thing
Yup. If you are going to make 'fidelity' the selling point of your game, you have to take into account that it is a moving target.
Quick Chris! It's not too late to change game engines! It'll only take a couple of days! And then you can ditch that annoying lawsuit. You know you want to! [haha]
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. Interesting to see they still haven't fixed that waxiness CG humans have for all situations. None of this detail is going to make game production any cheaper or faster though.
The detail won't, but that real-time virtual actress suggests they might have made some progress in motion capture: no more frame-by-frame clean up...
So what you're saying is that this is actually bad for Star Citizen, because Chris has no reason to spend all that extra time in the mocap studio with his Hollywood buddies to try to get a better performance that requires less clean-up?
Oh no! Everything is ruined!
To be fair, it really hasn't changed all that much. It's certainly evolved with time, but in essence it's much the same al LAN parties
"Lets play Star Citizen! I don't have it installed, but how about I grab your install and log myself in?"
"Sure - fastest would be to direct copy from my NVME gaming drive - let me pop that over for you"
"Urm, I only have one slot, and that holds OS"
"Ok well join your secondary NIC to this subnet, attach this DAC and use these credentials"
"I've only got Wifi"
<more beer>

I'm sure the SC hand-crafted mocap has more fidels per second than the automatic stuff. Because Vision.

More beer is all we have...
Does the porter reach the rack?
Also it's based on the Hellblade tech (released last year), it's a step beyond Senua's and run fine on every PC

Odd emphasis, it's like you're trying to point out something... I just can't quite grasp it.
I'm kinda past the point where I notice major differences. Is this better than Frostbite? It looks good, yes. In particular I couldn't tell whether there was new tech in the trooper scene or not.
So, the release of 3.1. is this week? Anybody knows if this version contains the "i go to sleep on my ship and wake up also in my ship after i logged out and in again"? The Roadmap doesn´t show it but I thought it is in this update?
It seems that CGI speeds up everything with the quartal updates and I think about it to invest a little more time in it than in ED. Played the 3.0 and the atmo is superb!

Future civilisations will believe that we worshipped Andy Serkis' as some kind of god as so much effort is put into super-imposing his features onto everything.
It won't be long until all parts in all films will be played by Andy Serkis via motion capture. He'll be performing love scenes with himself, awards ceremonies will consist of a virtual Andy Serkis avatars receiving awards from other virtual Andy Serkis avatars in front of a live virtual Andy Serkis audiance...sort of like Rimmer world but with Andy Serkis
Maybe a super advanced AI will some day replace us, much like at the end of the movie A.I except instead of elegant alien looking things, they will just be slender creatures with Andy Serkis' features grinning at each other

Speaking of Mr Serkis, some wag noted that he and Martin Freeman were the only Caucasian actors in the new Black Panther movie.
Apparently they were the Tolkien white guys... #illgetmycoat
Too ambitious? You don't say! https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/875omh/discussionwith_hindsight_now_will_we_still_get/
It must be extremely annoying for Chris Roberts and his zealots that people simply would NOT forget all the past promises and statements. How is he able to reset everything and keep going if people ask for and hold him to what he said years before? Somehow he still needs to break it to his fans that due to fluid development Star Citizen is not about creating a game anymore. The funding meter is the game
LOL.
But, I used to live up the road from his facialness (His missus popped round for coffee, and our kids played together) and whist a lot of people can method-act not many can method-act as a different species.
Andy is a cool dude.
I tinker in AI, and one of my goals is to simulate Andy in a mocap suit so I can take over Holywood. I also want a volcano lair and a flying submarine.
( I should do a quickstarter. )
