Hello,
SC probably postponed for 10 years more if The Visionnaire is watching E3:
Bye.
I almost feel sorry for Sean Tracy.

It's on PC. The whole announcement revolves around how Game Pass is coming to PC as an extension of the existing XBox store integration — a lot of what they presented was there to give the game pass a wide lineup on launch.
The problem is there is no definition of what constitutes a termination or a breach of contract in the GLA. Both parties here are guilty of having signed off that weak agreement that opens the door to everything... CT will have to prove actual damages just to start having a leg to stand on, that's why CiG can afford to be that cavalier at the moment.This is all red meat and makes Skaddens look a bit weak.CIG’s “breach is acceptable as long as Crytek can’t prove monetary harm” attitude is cavalier and disturbing.
Its not really my thing, but SQ42 and SC have insane amount of lore.
It's not going to be the whole thing without robots finding loopholes in the three laws, though.
You just sounded like Crobber and his whales who haven't played many games then. There are plenty of game franchises out there with deep lore by now.I don't expect video games to attain a similar level of world building (although Troika/Black Isle games come close)
Agreed. They do have a lot of lore, but to me it seems somewhat derivative (although I am biased).
Yep. That's why CIG's most important asset is Ortwin.The problem is there is no definition of what constitutes a termination or a breach of contract in the GLA.

Well I played a bit 3.5.1 patch.....and seems pretty meh,all in all didn't notice ANY significant changes or improvements worth to mention except that cash-grab do a paint-job thing......oh yeah stability seems worst then before because I experience few crashes but then again that could be also server issue and lame netcode as usual when servers get flooded and nothing to do particularly with this latest patch.....
While it looks amazing they do have a slightly simpler task ahead of them there.Hello,

Agreed. They do have a lot of lore, but to me it seems somewhat derivative (although I am biased). What is unique about SC's universe? It feels like a weird fusion of Star Trek, Star Wars, a bunch of other scifi universes (Bladerunner?) and 21st century capitalism/consumerism.
Compare that to Asimov's Foundation series or better yet Frank Herbert's Dune. Herbet's world is mind blowing; the lack of computers, the role of spice, mentants, the feudal/imperial political structure, the Spacing Guild. Granted all these elements are based on existing tropes and historical events, but the way Herbert combined them, made them more than the sum of their parts.

I could have come up with SC's lore in a few weeks of dedicated work.

Using already existing maps and "bumping" the height of flat objects to make them 3d is giving us a damn nice visual from up on high, even low altitude flight will be pleaseant.
It's basically google maps with some refinement on the 3d part.
That said i have a feeling that if you would land anywhere close to some of those buildings and trees it would not look as pleasant.
Looks a damn sight better than older flight sims though - but why the hell they sell a SIM to Xbox is beyond my understanding.

Because of course CIG don't cheat at all...Here's an example of close up graphics of the ground so they are cheating a bit.
Because of course CIG don't cheat at all...
You are right, from below after clipping through is also an angle, in a way~Did i say that? They all cheat in one way or another depending on the purpose of the game they are designing.
Im just saying that their graphics are used in a completely different manner. One is designed to look pretty from above and the other are designed to try and look pretty from every angle...not that they succeed.
Yep. That's why CIG's most important asset is Ortwin.
Why I'm afraid I most definitely had the pleasure old Chap. The whole experience of surviving death by Doomsday pontificate was quite memorable. I must also admit to remaining absolutely incredulous, as it's difficult to take that Zimsky fellow remotely seriously. You see, I fear a tad of insanity appears to run in that family. Especially ever since that time I was happily strolling through the woods on Terrare in Sol system. Forgot the blasted insect repellent and got stung by a terran trackerjacker. Obnoxious piece of work that. But even more obnoxious--and by pure coincidence---was being confronted by Zim's freakish blue haired doppleganger twin who had been stalking me all along. Who then insisted on engaging in a bizarre monologue despite my mortal plight. Spewing an even more terrifying degree of hand wavium, Doomsday bum nuggetry terrae talking points which old Zim could only hope to achieve in his wet dreams......Oh, I don't know. Have you seen The Core?

why is Crytek so obsessed with crucifying Roberts? Are they envious/mad they didn't receive any brand recognition/lucrative brand royalties these last 7+ years? Because Roberts opted to be a jerk and not to invite them to his multi million dollar rave? Because after years of stratospheric flight being fueled with franchise hype, the CI enterprise potentially appears to be approaching the apex where it might be flaming out. Especially if what you mentioned about SQ42 is true. Not trolling here, just trying to understand the logic of Crytek's financial? Personally motivated? position behind the legal drama. Why the ongoing push to character assassinate Roberts? When -- should he ever suspect CI has become insolvent--Roberts would most likely file for Chapter 11 (and a one way ticket to an undisclosed tropic island somewhere) instead of the more punitive Chapter 7?And some other stuff.
- Ortwin seems to have forgotten some key punctuation. Purely by accident. Developing & selling SQ42 as a separate game may still be an issue. (Previously CIG claimed only at the point of launching the game from a non-SC launcher would they be culpable of the above. Seems they are separate clauses though).
- CIG's own lawyer's lang seems to have been used against them, saying Cryengine code is in the game (?)
- The new lawyers are cheaper, so that throws the bond valuation off. (Plus something about 2mil being a suspiciously made-up valuation).
- Crytek say they're out for justice more than money.
- They claim the 'score' is kinda 1:1 now, because they got CIG to give them the code fixes post-litigation. So the case isn't a landslide for CIG as claimed, making the grounds for bond shakier still.
- GuardFreq guy suspects Crytek & Skadden parted ways because Crytek really do want blood, won't have wanted to agree on a target settlement figure, annoying Skadden who'll just want the cash pot at the end of the rainbow.
- GuardFreq guy is impressed with the new plucky little lawyers. Thinks they landed blows, although glossed over Crytek's financial stability regarding the bond.
- Says ultimately in the judge's hands now though. She may still push for bond, but there seems to be claims that require discovery now. (If bond required will be a test of Crytek's thirst for blood).
BUM
