Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

"- So, what's the news today?
  • Well I ran the lorem ipsum generator to fill the SQ42 report.
  • I shuffled some cards in the roadmap and found three that must have fallen under the desk last time I shuffled the roadmap.
  • That's it?!
  • Well, yes...
  • Sigh... Quick, find me anything pretty never done before! Preferably something not already shown by FDEV!"

Is this a screenshot or capture from a video? There's something a bit "funky" about the shading i.e. the clouds in the upper right of the shot should be in shade, unless there's another light source at the camera's 9 or 10 o'clock high, which then doesn't match the bulbous(cumulus) cloud at the 11 o'clock level position which is presumably lit by the star...So either the engine is a bit off when self shading the clouds, or its a concept by a pre-renaissance artist.

Well Odyssey is no SC that's for sure. Lots of issues with Odyssey. Still plugging away at reporting bugs, from our Squadron.

But, SC still has no competitor, shame... had high hopes for Odyssey!

Now back to bashing SC.. LOL

"Building blocks" I believe, was implementing HTML technology for certain UI screens, making it easier to design and redesign them.
 
Interesting to see some of the same arguments about SC as go on in relation to ED.


Some amusing comments as well.

Sure the emphasis is towards flying your ship but it is not, nor was it ever intended to be, a 'Spaceship Simulator' or a 'Space Trading Simulator' or a 'Space Combat Simulator'. That is Elites job.
 
Are you for real or just trolling ? In 2019, according to their OWN roadmap, they had no script beyond chapter 1. No script = no lines = no voice acting. FWIW the only lines they recorded were for the "cut scenes" (machinima.. not the game itself...) they showed at various conventions and to the media.
Didn't know. Have you a source for this info ? I'm pretty sure to have read the whole roadmap and not read that.

And some here says they have read the whole leaked script long ago and it was rubbish. So, this script exists or not ?

And there was I thinking SC was meant to be the BDSSE :unsure:

No it isnt.

for some reason ED went the route of gameplay then fidelity and adding more gameplay and more fidelity so we still haven't had devs working for months or years on hamburgers and shoe laces or toilet functions, what a waste of good talent hey? Then they added consoles one by one rather than focussing on a Mess Hall and getting NPCs to clear up their plates.

Also originally ED had a 10 year plan to complete the game from 2012. So it started with a base game and 'beige' planets and limited gameplay in space, then few years later landable planets, then few years later space legs in Alpha, 10 years in we have almost everything from the KS apart from walking in ships. And we know they are a bit behind on all the releases than originally intended, each one has dropped up to 5 months later than intended in 2012!

Both have bugs though there is that but again EDO is no SC. Most if not all ED bugs are not lethal or game breaking. CQC can crash the server for everyone in CQC though, at least on XB we can all crash together in that one bit, dunno about PS & PC though.

Each to their own though is what I say.

Is that a fair expectation though?

Elite has cost around 10x less to make so far compared to SC and it has about 1/6th of the developers working on it.
