I thought I was being pessimistic by thinking end of 2025. But 2026 ...
Is S42 still episodic releases, or is it releasing 'whole'?
I think it's still episodic. Or possibly very episodic.
Thats insane.

Quick summary:
00:00 min
Surprisingly underwhelmed. Seeing this demo with so little gameplay, using parts of the tutorial only, and then Chris saying 2026 (!!)... I have close to zero confidence the rest of chapter 1 is anywhere near feature or content complete.
As for Chris latest 2026 announcement... this time is 2026 for sure, for real, trust me bro.

Cutscene crash
How? Just how?
Did they run the movie in their game engine instead of VLC or some other media player?
Levelcap nails it
The whole event is inspired by Apple key-notes which traditionally had an audience peppered with hyped up employees cheering stuff they had or hadn't seen from other departments.
CIG is basically the gaming Theranos, same reliance on smoke & mirrors, same desperate fascination with Apple by their CEO.
Also Chris Roberts complaining that he played it "last night and it was fine" and "ten QA testers played it last night and it was fine" is a small sample of what will happen if they ever do release an actual "finished" game.
Hold on.... just hold your bloody horses.
90 min preview of SQ42?
Whatever happened to "Can't show SQ42, because spoilers?" - they forgot about that again?

Half of it was cutscenes we have already seen, including Bishop´s speech. Again. The rest was just new cutscenes belonging to the tutorial.

The crashing part will be ignored or laughed at by the community. But Chris does not play or care about SC so he has to play big boss CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. "All of it. It's all true."
