Normally the 30K hits before they get that high. Things must be getting better and better

Im sure they are thanking you for the extra views and engagement in the comments the video is getting by being posted here.

How many additional views do you think you gave the video?

I dunno. 4 maybe?

SQ42? Wasn't that the game that was almost ready for release in 2014 and CR said he would put up against any AAA game out there?

SQ404 is just so ahead of it’s time that it’s taken 10 years for reality to even catch up to the possibility of it even existing.

it would look really good if CIG could get SQ42 ready for releas by 2042.

 

[Asp Explorer]

They won’t.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Shut up you, otherwise i will say "Powerplay"

But as we all know U16 is Powerplay

 

[Christopher Roberto]

Relevant question IS THERE really ANY SQ42 even as current dev version?

There is evidence of cutscene(s), assets, and mo-cap. What more could you want in a game?

It's unfortunate they paid all that cash for Hollyweird actors early on as performance capture has massively progressed since 2012. If those recordings ever see the light of day, Jank Skywalker is going to be compared poorly to Norman Reedus taking a tinkle*. Although maybe people will overlook that due to it being a last performance.

* The forum censorship here really needs revised, "p**s" being censored is a meme when Odyssey has NPCs throwing around the four letter Fs. What would happen if I posted a screenshot of Odyssey on Odyssey's forum I wonder, a ban for language?

19 years from now, nah too short time

We should do a funding drive to fund SQ42 developemnt with an aim to release in 2042.
Maybe not, it might be illegal to flasely advertise things, wire fraud and morally not in the right.

Why other games do not have persistent entity streaming....well maybe because of this....

 

[ZeeWolf]

Other games do have it, but usually for core gameplay functionality.

Professional studios focus on optimisihg core mechanics and critical path stuff then iterarate.

A thousand empty cans in a single room! Every room a separate server! Also, wait, they cannot detect the clutter based on queries to their PES perfect graph database?

Remember five years ago when they integrated that face webcam tech stuff that they bought in from some third party partner? Remember how all the naysayers said it would probably be a gimmick that next to nobody used and was being added at a completely inappropriate time when the last thing you really wanted to add was more non essential network data to synchronise between clients and it would just increasetheir expanding tech debt and add to the extensive "alpha" development time and lack of robust release?

Really glad they proved everyone wrong and revolutionised the industry with such a valuable addition that no game should be without and have nothing to learn from their mistakes.

lol. i think i have a few older threads on spectrum to reply to where i was directly told there would not be a wipe when it was plainly obvious there was going to be one.

like how could people think this wouldnt happen.

<waves hands>

The wipe only happens if you think it does.

Why even bother releasing 3.18.1? Am I missing something?

clearly dont understand game development.

I mean, I could understand many reasons to switch games, but terrain tiling? In Elite at least the events you could encounter accidentally get overwhelmingly diluted within the billions of planets that have no issues. In SC there is no way to escape from the tiling, stuck within a handful of planets.

Uh, to be fair to SC, these pics could have been taken straight from ED Odyssey where every landable planet is made up of repeating terrain tiles. So in Odyssey there's also 'no way to escape from the tiling'. But don't take my word for it, FDev already confirmed this.
