SC Leaks

CIG is currently unable to hire people at a speed faster than they are dropping. Wages aren't high enough and internal struggles are growing due to communication issues.

Or has word finally got around enough about CIG blaming backers for expecting them to deliver on things?

I think the backers who complain have very little right to do so.

It was obvious for anyone with half a brain that the biggest factor that would determine when this game actually releases is going to be the state and standard of the consumer PC market.

I think that we may be approaching it now, if you get high end kit, probably a few more years for normal people.

It's like the people who bitched about cyberpunk not being good on OG Xbox and PS4....it's like, did you see the same gameplay reveal as me, then switch on your OG Xbox one and think to yourself..."yea, this will run that" ???

Because I saw the same thing, and my first thought was: "This game looks great, no way I'm going to try and play it on my OG Xbox, I will wait to get it on Xbox SX" (played it on shadow tech pc in the end)

I think SC is easily worth the 60 rubs I dropped on it.

Lol

That is an infinitely sliding scale friend

Can you estimate the system requirements for Star Citizen?

There will be a lot of optimization in the next 24-months, plus the usual fast pace of technology, so it is hard to say absolutely. At the moment you will be able to play it on a dual core PC with a GTX 460 or greater and 4GB of system memory. If you’re running an i7 2500, 2600, 2700 or better with a GTX 670 or greater then the stars are the limit! Since the game is built on CryEngine, their system requirements will stay roughly the same as ours.

A more telling metric for release would be the point at which SC has actually got all of its primary features into the game, and vaguely working on current gen hardware. They seem to be about 10 years away from that point at the moment. And struggling to make the much smaller feature-set they have work reliably.

But I’m sure it’s actually Moore’s Law’s fault that they don’t have NPC crews yet, or enormous base building ships, or 100 solar systems, or alien species, or giant capital ship battles between players, or a background simulation. Or the tech that could support those envisioned additions as things stand.

Strangely though, I’d suggest the fault might lie with the plan. If you’ve maxed out current server & CPU capacities with a small sliver of your feature set, you’ve done something wrong. 'Await quantum computing' isn’t actually a viable solution. Or the best way to build a game within a few short decades…

When did you back this game commando? 2021?

Jobs

With multiple US and European offices, CIG employs the gaming industry’s most talented people on its most exciting project, the Star Citizen space SIM
cloudimperiumgames.com cloudimperiumgames.com

Its the highest i've seen it in a long time, although this could be tied to CR's plan to increase their expenditure through the roof... erm, i mean, to open the new Manchester office.

Hope backers are ready to pledge harder!

Just wanted to mention, that openings do not mean much (as in, they can mean anyhting). The company may want to grow. The company may not want to grow but the openings are there in case great candidates show up. The company may be bleeding people. Or not.

Nobody knew hiring could be so complicated.

So lie to backers until you think someone will make hardware that can run the spaghetti code?
Click to expand...

What lie?

They were open about the features, graphics etc. I saw what they put out, and concluded that I wasn't going to play this anytime soon.

Then I heard they wanted to physcalise everything I was like, wow I'm really not playing it soon.

The extra work required to do just that represented close to 100% of top end hardware when it was announced. So was designed to work on future systems, which are becoming today's systems (I can run star citizen from my phone if I want to)

When did they tell the backers not to bother upgrading their systems because it will be a waste of money, the game isn't coming out for more than a decade?

Or not to buy AMD Radeon GPUs that came bundled with Star Citizen eight years ago, cards that are practically unable to play the game as it currently exists (unless you don't mind 5 to 15FPS).
