The Star Citizen Thread v5

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

Its too big to fail Derek, like the banks!

Those banks at least had products that brought them some serious money. Selling JPEGs only go that far.

well, it looks like CIG have found their new terrain engine

If Theranos could fail, Star Citizen most certainly can.

Quality of actual SC is better than this.

I should hope so. Considering that the SC demo was a very - very - small area.

 

[FuriousMeow]

Which is "actual SC" then?

Imagination.

Uh-oh. Time to scrap everything and restart building Planets XLIV™ — expect a demo at CitCon 2018.

 

[Jezzah]

That is really quite good.

No, it doesn't have enough bloom FX.

Or awful framerates. Or any starworms.

Yeah but with the right fidelitousness in development you can DREAM that the things are going to be there right?

Just cost you a polaris or 2 and it'll happen.

Graphics are very nice through out, although perhaps too grey, why do futuristic stations have to be so grey ?.

Hmm. So the SC art department is a bit like this...

Lister: Why are they painting it the same colour it was before?
Rimmer: They're changing it from Ocean Grey to Military Grey. Something that should've been done a long time ago.
Lister: Looks exactly the same to me.
Rimmer: No. No, no, no. (points at wall) That's the new Military Grey bit there, and that's the dowdy, old, nasty Ocean Grey bit there. Or is it the other way around?

(edit: now I think of think of it, Rimmer and Roberts have a quite a bit in common...)

It would never work, the trees and rocks haven't been individually placed by a skilled artisan. That's what cutting-edge proceedural generation is all about, you know...

Being vaporised in a radiation incident of his own creation ends up being a better fate than he actually deserves?

You might think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

 

[Tippis]

It's the first commonality I can think of. I'm sure there are others.

Maybe Chris has a snazzy hat too, but I've never seen it.

 

[Asp Explorer]

Maybe Genuine Roberts has hidden the full development plan for Star Marine in a microdot on his swimming certificate?

 

[Marak]

Maybe Genuine Roberts has hidden the full development plan for Star Marine in a microdot on his swimming certificate?

And then copied out "War and Peace" in the space he had left.

Does this count? I think it's him under there...

There's a plan !?

Sell JPEGs; get… wait, stage 2 is already complete. I guess it's just more of stage 1, then.

Come on now, there's no need to be so negative. Just wait til E3, Gamescon, Citizencon - and buy a Polaris!
