Gamer: "I've been playing (insert name of game here) for 20,000 hours and I think it's boring as there is nothing to do"Went on the PU for a couple of hours this morning...there was another mini-patch for it this morning. Did all sorts when I was in there, mining, cargo hauling, couple of investigation missions down the big caves...no issues at all. Can't be bothered re-running Xeno in PTU for the umpteenth time, I'm bored with it already and it's not been released yet

Aye, Mikey is done methinks...when he starts trolling over ancient stuff just to pass snide comments at it, it's time to pack it up. Maybe he should watch some of his old Twerk17 videos from back then...he could get all snarky and self righteous about them too
Oh yes, he was in full rose tinted glasses mode back then.

Yeah, but then it wouldn't surprise me if they listed as the requirements: 5 years experience with StarEngine tools
(Not a dig at CIG, its a dig at recruiters who put stupid requirements on job postings. There was a guy who created a tech who wouldn't qualify for a job requiring it, because it demanded more experience than he had... the creator of the tech).
However, maybe it explains why no experience with CE, but why experience with Unreal?
It would be hilarious if, as part of the settlement, CIG had to go back to CryEngine but CryTek demanded to have their name taken off those products.
"Nope, it's nothing to do with us."
Because you think that, at the time CR said he would use all the power of LY, he was lying ?
For me, he really wanted to use this tool but all improvments of it were not useful for the core's engine modified by CIG.
For instance, they could create in UE before exporting to Maya and afterthat importing in CIG's tools.
Firesprite work on a lot of games, they have processes in place that are already well established since several years. If they use UE somewhere in the graphic flow, UE is a requirement for them. UE is a standard in the gaming industry now.
EDIT : another example, you can whitebox a whole FPS map in whatever tool you want before creating the final version in the final tool.

No, that they implied SC was switched from CE to LY in a matter of weeks (and still is running on it?) and you implying it was not.
There's nothing to do with using no/some/all of LY features.
What's ambiguous in this official statement for Chris' sake!? "Because we share a common technical vision, it has been a very smooth and easy transition to Lumberyard. In fact, we are excited to announce that our just released 2.6 Alpha update for Star Citizen is running on Lumberyard and AWS."

I'm not implying it was not. If so it's a translation problem on my part.
CIG had switched from CE 3.7 to the same version labelled LY (the version before the fork) easily by 1 or 2 guys in a matter of days (for what have been said) because it was only a license switch not a switch of code.
The real work at the time was to switch to AWS from what they were using before. But the work done for AWS was not tied to LY. As they were not using the LY version released after the fork, they certainly created their own connectors and not used those in the new LY engine.
Yep for sure, given it's an art position etc, that's possible.
If Agent's leaks in this area are correct then UE4 is already in play for SQ42. If not in an entirely efficient manner:
The temptation to remake the whole thing in a more forgiving multiplayer engine must be pretty huge for Firesprite's small team though
It definitely gives off a 'let us never speak of this again' vibe, whatever actually happened behind the scenes
Oh yeah... The very much useful translation problem...
Quand on passe trois fois plus de temps à vérifier tout ce que l'on écrit, que l'on bute sur de faux-amis et qu'on a des lacunes de vocabulaire, oui, traduire sa pensée n'est pas évident.Oh yeah... The very much useful translation problem...
Ce n'est pas "utile" c'est juste la réalité.
Ah oui je ne te contredirai pas là-dessus.
So CryEngine/StarEngine isn't capable of doing everything CIG need, despite years of working on it. Interesting.
Nah, i'm totally sold on the theory FireSprite have thrown out CIG's work on ToW and are remaking it using Unreal. Its the most hilarious option.
If you guys are going to start with the French, i'm going to start with the Russian... and we all know how that comes out on the internet!
That would be pretty hilarious and worrying at same time. If I remember correctly one of Crytek’s complains in that lawsuit was that CIG removed Crytek/Cryengine logo denying them the publicity and visibility… so it would be pretty telling that now Crytek wanted to distance from CIG as much as possible! did they found something fishy that could drag them to future trouble?
I don’t think that is the case but who knows
I know, but it just amused me! Make them sign a new license agreement and add a troll clause.
Oh God, had a thought. All this talk about Unreal Engine, it would be absolutely hilarious if CIG wrote themselves in to another obligatory CryEngine contract. They can't be that stupid, though...
CIG: We're proud to announce both SQ42 and SC will be getting a major upgrade as we switch to Unreal!
Space Nerds: Applause
Crytek: Get the contract lawyers, here we go again.
