And the much-touted Faceware camera for Star Citizen seems to have gone the way of other SC-specific peripherals.That's the 'Face Over IP' they got from a 3rd party. Uses your face cam to animate the character's face. It is... not entirely reliable
It was one of the bigger feature highlights of 2018's Citizencon. (Alongside trains and whisky physics)

I wonder how headlines like this:

go down with the PU crowd who have been told 'we're concentrating on SQ42, once that is done we'll get back to SC'.
edit: Yeah, it's based on the same MCV article
Cloud Imperium starts referencing Star Citizen spinoff sequels
Apparently Squadron 42 won't just be getting one sequel but multiples.

This would need some better emotes than simple like. Something likeI wonder how headlines like this:

That has to be a misstatement, surely?
SQ42 sequels yeah, we've known that since the start.
SC sequel? What the actual.....????
The article says "chutzpah"... i mean, that doesn't really cover it. We are talking giant iron spherical thingys.
I think the author definitely conflated SC and SQ42 when talking about sequels.

It does bring up a good point though - delaying SC to get SQ42 out of the way makes some sense (well, unless you think that SQ42 will be a way to get ppl to buy the PU - which doesn't work if SQ42 comes out while the PU is still in bits), but if you delay SC until SQ42 is done, then SQ43, then SQ44 ... they'll need some big old pipelines
If one believes the conflicting information that's been bounced around over the past decade few years, finishing SQ42 is supposed to bring players into SC proper. Additionally, the PU is dependent on a lot of the tech being developed for SQ42 (or vice versa, or they're codependent, like any healthy relationship).
And selling a star-studded, fully-realized, single-player game that deposits players into the land of dreams and what could be, is a great marketing technique to open wallets.
"Look, we showed you how good we are with the ride you were just on, now imagine how awesome all of this (the PU) will be? Please enjoy the gift shop, and pick yourself up a Legatus Package on the way out. Remember, this is your chance to get in on the ground floor - just like everyone else for the past ten years."

That would work. Less so if you buy your Legatus pack, run up the ramp of your new Idris as it inexplicably explodes around you ..
...Which is about what I took from that post. Bought in sometime during 2014 (according to the OP), played about twice since then (according to me)Dunno - a lot of that sounds like the blind leading the blind - neither of them had much clue what they were doing. Obviously the bugs don't help in that, but the leader guy didn't seem to have much of a clue

And if SQ42 is a giant piece of poo poo, it could damage the image of SC.
Wasn't that the narrative for years "SC Dev is slow because SQ42 is the focus"?It does bring up a good point though - delaying SC to get SQ42 out of the way makes some sense (well, unless you think that SQ42 will be a way to get ppl to buy the PU - which doesn't work if SQ42 comes out while the PU is still in bits), but if you delay SC until SQ42 is done, then SQ43, then SQ44 ... they'll need some big old pipelines
Hence why SQ42 keeps on not being released, or even properly displayed
So, a "Five Year Plan" for expansion into China and multiple SQ42 sequels? That would certainly be a "Great Leap Forward" if true
Yes, except for those times when the narrative needed to be the other way around, then it was SQ42 is slow because SC is the focus. Its flip flopped a few times over the years.

Once CIG told the public that both are made in parallel and use the same assets.It does bring up a good point though - delaying SC to get SQ42 out of the way makes some sense (well, unless you think that SQ42 will be a way to get ppl to buy the PU - which doesn't work if SQ42 comes out while the PU is still in bits), but if you delay SC until SQ42 is done, then SQ43, then SQ44 ... they'll need some big old pipelines
He included pre-production in the dev run and criticised an issue that has since been fixed. Moved to concern…
Does any game ever live up to the fanbases' dreams?
