You mean the new one or the classic?

The one CR watched before running into the office to tell everyone about the brilliant idea he'd just had.

The new Bladerunner might have been shot after the stretch goals.
Then again- I heard he has "ideas" all the time

Doesn't look stable to me. Most megabuilding are shaped like spire or tower and not like pyramid with a cludgy mega-hammer at the peak. I'd describe myself as quite lenient when suspending my disbelief but that just looks silly.
It's a bullshot anyway, isn't it?

Really, who cares. There's sound in space, no proper physics anywhere, and more importantly no delivered game, nothing done on the missing 99 systems, or the fabled server meshing, etc. Why argue on fluff ? Because that's just fluff, and if you want to go into there, yes there are more exotic kind of constructions in the world (composite materials can do wonders..), and yet even more absurdly expensive things in Cyberpunk lore. I'd also mention the megabuildings in CP2077 (and the monstruous second Arasaka tower) and the later Dredd movie. FWIW it's one of the least shocking things you could mention in SC, at least the art team did some interesting job on this building, including its lower floors which are accessible.

Its refactor time again!

Tech Animation
February saw Tech Animation cleaning up assets, as a core change to the in-engine animation pipeline invalidated a large number of them.

I just dont agree with the artistic vision.

We have something in a similar vein in france (Arche de la Défense)

That is not remotely comparable in size.

 

[govny]

That is not remotely comparable in size.

not even in shape, but who cares, please don't try to divert the topic from the things that really make SC bad.

Bad art is also bad in games.

Well for Earth size world with 24 hours rotation period synchronous orbit is 26 000 km. Even 1/10 scale it is like 2600 km.

which explains the 6 months per moon/planet ratio

Like I said - it's all made up. Bullshots for show. No concept, no plan, no path to make something. And why would there be? There still isn't the "core tech" developed for the pershmistent shmoonziverse.

tend to agree simply because IF they had a plan or concept....it would ve been appearant 10 years into the development. Instead, development has become more confusing, more complex and to a point where its hard to understand what CIG is going for anymore.

My dear Fritz - the answer there is the same as it's always been:

Backer's wallets

The art department at least knows. Make it megalomaniac as can be to underline that this is the most pretentious crap ever developed.

 

[GuruNot]

[Skizomeuh]

Meanwhile, in the other 'verse where inferior games are really made and released...

 

[Firkrayt]

Do those people care about walking around at all?

So, how many Skyrims De_Dusts do you walk on your average game session?

You can always tell NPC from human by observation.

Ah, so if I stand on furniture, I'm safe from PvP baddies!

 

[Dooguk]

Ah, so if I stand on furniture, I'm safe from PvP baddies!

No. The all hyper intelligent NPC's will point at you and say "There is the human you want over there. He's pretending to be one of us when we are having a bad day and we don't like it"

 

[ECity]

The other space game, and its DLC, will clearly not feature PvP.

The funny part is thinking PvP is the only valid game mechanic. Even Spectrum has many comments from players that want to avoid it.

Those are some of my favourite

The space-ship pew-pew purists are some of the most delightfully unaware of what PVP actually is, in pretty much any game that involves players, space-ships and pew-pew that I've experienced since the 80's

Their point may be more valid in Star Citizen though - as there is still no game in the equation.

 

[Surefoot]

(...) to a point where its hard to understand what CIG is going for anymore.

They're going for more money ! What else ?

 

[lysan]

question are there NPCS to fight in SC? like we saw in EDO stream today?
