Hold on, Pyro is not even mentioned? No slot for a key note speech/demo either?

I really hope CIG has some Pyro or SQ42 pre canned videos at least to show in between segments...

They def hint at Pyro with all the 'outlaws and settlers' stuff. Reckon the Pyro-round-about spins again.

Pipeline seems pretty certain that their SQ42 sizzle vid info is solid too. (IE it was from a Chris email seemingly)

"Ride the Dragon"! Squee!

Spoiler

 

[Asp Explorer]

Oh definitely my dear Golgot, there will be absolutely buckets of “X enemy type in Pyro will have Y behaviours and equip with weapon types 1-11 and eat food groups <waves hands>” and there will probably be pre-rendered wurmscenes, but no gameplay footage and no “it’ll be on your SSD’s in Z weeks” suggestion.

We will see though!

I was wondering if it is legit, but it seems so https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/19496-CitizenCon-2953-Pocket-Guide

Quite .. sparse

There is a 2 hour gap between 5 and 7 PM on day 1. If they don't:

1. Release the Pyro system
2. Show another star system under development
3. Give a firm release date for Squadron 42 in 2024 (no delays)

then SC is irredeemable, because development is way too slow.

It's all part of a smoothly oiled plan...

Look closely at the suspicious gap. It looks like something was there and got deleted, but they forgot to remove the :30 from the schedule (it's in black text on a dark part of the screen so it's easy to miss.)

Either they were planning on doing something in the afternoon but changed their mind, or wanted to hide something that was originally on there and messed up. Or it could be intentional hype building if you want to go down that route.

Hmm. I'm not seeing the item "Keynote wheels-coming-off presentation" there.

Don't let me down Chris! I've waited years for this!

Sparsey McSparseton.

 

[VR Golgot]

Odds on they strap the Pyro / Jump Point hype to the Replication schedule. (And then miss their targets). And float a 'coming soon' / 'QX' style window for SQ42. (And miss that too )

 

[ECity]

God of the gaps

 

[VR Golgot]

That's why SC has such a following. It's one big gap

 

[VR Golgot]

Lol

We were supposed to have Resource management system, new Star map and Bounty Hunting V2 ingame at the end of the year, we end up with a CitizenCon panel and a release "2024, maybe"

(source)

Beyond this, there are a host of other exciting features and content we have planned for 2023;

Pyro with its assorted planets, moons, settlements, space stations and assorted factions and AI population being the headline

we also will be rolling out the New Item Resource system in ships which replaces the old pipe system with a much more dynamic and scalable system to allow for truly emergent behavior (in fact elements of this new system can already be seen in 3.18 in the Salvage gameplay),

Bounty Hunting with a full tracking system and the ability to actively restrain and transport both players and AI,

Persistent Hangars with freight elevators allowing you to call up your stored inventory or place things into storage.

Towards the end of the year, we should see some of the more Squadron 42 related work arrive in Star Citizen; more flexible player traversal, especially on ladders and ledges, a greatly improved interaction system, FPS scanning, the new Star Map, MFDs using the more performant and flexible building blocks UI system and much deeper combat AI.

Look, you can't go holding Chris to his word. He absolved himself from being bad with estimates.

It is funny how consistent he is at overestimating deliveries and underestimating how much money he needs to deliver them.

It's all part of a smoothly oiled plan...

Of course if it was a secret clue they would deny it

 

[VR Golgot]

I'm going for the 'desperately scrabbling around to find things for the schedule' option

Jake just wasn't told so he couldn't spoil it. ":" = two dots, or something split in half. 3 = a three. 0 = years remaining. Get ready for Half Life 3.

Fan Festival 2023 in London is for Final Fantasy fans from 9:00 AM till 7:00 PM (10 hours) for 2 days = 20 hours total. It's packed with activities, live performances, presentations, Q&A and key people of FF show up.

CItizenCon 2023 is from 11:00 AM till around 5 PM minus 1 hour lunch = 5 hours x2 days = 10 hours + maybe a secret presentation on day 1 (2 hours) = 12 hours total. Nobody knows if pathological liar Chris Roberts will be present. There's no Q&A since development is utterly screwed up. CIG could hold this convention in 1 day. The overpriced tickets aren't worth it.

You realise that 2. is already happening, and has been since 2018?
So tbf, you're happy regardless
it seems you're not the objective criticism you thought you were

Well I haven't seen the third star system yet. It should be far in development, cause if it takes as long as Pyro then there won't be 10 star systems by 2030. That is if the SC scam lasts that long.
