I'm finally catching up on this thread (too busy IRL to do more than catch the highlights on this thread), and I'm in no way singling you out, but what I saw in this was computer generated video, and not a sneak peek what's currently in development. To be fair to CIG, there was a "blink and you'll miss it" moment where they actually admitted this was an "art video," but a lot of the faithful are treating this as if it's fait accompli.

If CIG wanted me to believe they've truly turned over a new leaf, they should've pasted a flashing disclaimer at the bottom of that clip saying "Artistic Visualization - not indicative of actual gameplay." As it stands, CIG has once again convinced me that the last syllable in the name of their yearly gathering of fans is still not short for convention...
 
Rewatching the Tony Z talk - He says "Some of the devs are moving off of Server Meshing and coming over to the Dynamic Economy/systems because they are the Devs that know the Bugs that are created with the change to Dynamic"

They also put a lot of emphasis on the replication layer and how that's very important for all of it aswell, and on the progress tracker thats slated to be done at the end of November.

Then you can also see an uninitialized "Pyromania" Event on his Quantum talk, slated for "x.x.2022" Hmmm....

Everything they do is in their own engine, while it might change in the final release there is nothing in that which looks like a Blender Render or something like that, that like everything else is in engine and if you crank the graphics up as high as they go at 4K it absolutely looks like that. had you watched the whole thing you would know the clouds, textures and so one are the ones used for Pyro, they might change in combination use on final art polish but what you're looking at it is the art style of Pyro.

One of the devs said they had borrowed the cloud tech from Sqn 42 🤷‍♂️

And I now know enough about what the phrase "All Footage Shot in Engine" actually means, that I now consider it another way of lying through omission. Whether its made by using Blender, Unreal, Cobra, or CIG's franken-engine, it's still a computer generated video, and not shot in-game, in real time, on a reasonable PC setup.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the gaming industry's equivalent of this:

Hating this new inventory system...mostly because it keeps making things vanish for the moment. It's also as slow as a tax rebate due to crappy servers once again. :cautious:
Yeah with you on that, for equipping your avatar its needlessly overdone, like the star map..... its a case of if it ain't broke don't fix it, it wasn't broken, it was fine.
Totally agree, the new inventory system is bloody awful.
