Meeoow.

They need a studio to create elevator panels.

600+, a habit to get rid (with damage) of contractors, yet needs to commission the building of its verse to a web agency. Though, credits where it's due, Tubulent seems to be the only one able to deliver something robust enough in CIG's ecosystem.

Tom Cruise makes surprisingly good films along with all the sucky ones. His Mission Impossible series is pretty much trash IMO but the occasional novel movies like Oblivian, Jack reacher or Edge of Tomorrow are pretty good ones if not really outstanding at least the plot is enjoyable

Unsurprisingly, my favourite Tom Cruise movie...as well as being one of my all time favourite movies... is The last Samurai. Not because Tom Cruise starred in it but more the fact that some very good Japanese actors did

If I were any of these dogs, I'd be hoping one of the other idiots would be the one stupid enough to go chase a cat that isn't even slightly perturbed

I've had to cover a couple of vet bills for people with dogs stupid enough to go barking at my cats or Ming the Merciless...being farm cats, they're not the running away type...Unlike those 2 monsters though, the other one, Bonsai, will tolerate strange dogs as long as they remain civil.

Spoiler: Cute cat pics

...and Ming the Merciless

Cute animal pictures!!! I just had to check I wasn't in the Something Awful SC thread.

Not sure if people have seen this.

Star Wars author appeals to Disney in fight over royalties

Alan Dean Foster claims media giant has not paid him royalties for his books after acquiring Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox

www.theguardian.com

In short, Disney claim they only bought the rights to ADF's Star Wars works, not the obligations.

Now i await Turbulent buying the rights to SC, but not the obligations, while CR rides off into the sunset with a fat wallet to go and make films involving anthroporphic cats and tropes.

Heh. Last year we brought a cat from our vet into our house as it needed a home. Within a couple of days it had ripped our dog apart and we had to return the cat along with several weeks of treatment for the dog (the vet though gave us a good discount on all treatments). The dogs skin had been literally torn apart in several places.

Now we have new small kitten, that seems more interested in destroying the furniture than the dog.

What obligations does SC have? That are contractual, like the paying of royalties?

Cool news.

I am not sure that I would classify it as cool news, it is, however, very interesting news. It is an admission by proxy that CIG themselves are unable to give backers what they pledged for and have had to outsource a major part of the game development to another studio.

Over the next three years, Turbulent and CIG have plans to grow the studio to 100 developers.

The probability of there being more systems has increased significantly but it will take time.

Dont forget to buy your Idris.

Well, call me strange, but i'd say they have an obligation to deliver the game they promised to backers.

Oh, no, wait. Its not legally binding anyway. Its a pledge, not a purchase right?

Some people seen to want to get shafted.

They are not "unable" to do it, it's to speed up the creation of systems when their tool will be mature enough.
I have been convinced for a very long time that CIG devotes a lot of time to the creation of tools to industrialize and partly outsource the creation of systems.
From time to time, the question "How many systems/year CIG will be able to produce in the future" appear here. Some key elements to respond are : capacity to industrialize and how many man/hour per year (internally and externally) they will put on system creation.
CIG have failed to outsource at their beginning when they were using common tools. After that they certainly had decided to make their own tools to have a total control of what their future partners will be able to do. As said before, each time I see their tools in video I'm impressed.
For me, CIG will certainly keep the creation of some systems for them and outsource others. It will grandly accelerate the pace of system delivery.

This is starting to look like one of them crazy conspiracy forums.

Ohhh, there’s November’s prediction quote

One System in 8 years .... It doesnt need to accelerate much to be an improvement.

Sure, because the planetary delivery system has just been charging along. Weird to suggest there’s been slow delivery there...

Anyways maybe you’ll like this salacious theory. I certainly did

When you are in active development, you create tools, assets, gameplay, engine, etc you should not deliver x system. That's how prototyping works. You build your prototype and when it's ready, your start mass production.
The CIG prototype is not ready yet, it will be a mistake to deliver x systems now.

@Golgot Why are you not quoting the message just below the one you quote ?
Always seeking the bad info, never forward good ones...

Ubisoft Montreal is responsible for Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Prince of Persia, Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, as well as the Watch Dogs franchise. I don't know of any other studio that has so many successful licenses in the same studio.
