[@brianowens8892]

This won't even be the future by time it releases.

[@UncensoredGT]

*chuckle*

[@Cornpone]

Booooooooo..... hissssssssssss..... clever tho lol

[@Taladays37]

Its sad but that is not true, at least with how game development is going. More developers have been shortening development times or just sticking to what they know rather than try something new. Its why the past two years or so have been so meh when it comes to online games, particularly with triple A studios and producers. And all the small/indie developers who claim they are making truely unique mmorpgs like SC (prime example being Chronicles of Elyria) with all kinds of features, end up never releasing or are still far away off and have shown no progress or actual gameplay. Star Citizen has been the only game not be afraid to go past the 3 year development time, to not cut corners anywhere, and to actually have a playable product that shows the progress they've made. Star Citizen is the future, and when it comes out it will be the norm. Literally no mmorpg could even compare to it if it ends up being what everyone wants it to be. It will be less like a video where you are just grinding for gear, but will actually be a virtual world to live in.

The freaky thing is playing it in 3.5, and realizing they're just a stone throw from having enough of a game to be a solid product, yet they plan to go MUCH further; Mining (Managing energy transfer into a rock, and not overloading it, once fractured, picking out the valuable fragments.) on it's own is an interesting mechanic, with enough depth to not be right clicking on a copper node, but not require a degree in Star Citizen Mining theory. It's been buggy/laggy over the years and patches obviously, being an alpha, but 3.5 has some really stable gameplay loops. I can wake up on Olisar, fly my Avenger to Kareah, to destroy some skimmers, land on the station and kill a couple of pirates, take an 8 minute flight across Stanton and land on Hurston, run around gorgeous Lorville and talk to Constantine who will ask me to get back in my ship and assault a bunker for a crate. Take out the turrets, land, fight off a couple of pirates inside, grab the crate and place it in my ship, bring it back to Lorville. Maybe even fly to Arc Corp if I'm feeling like taking a scenic trip. No crashes, solid performance where feasible (Lorville is a guaranteed 30fps on my 10603gb but soooo worth the frame drop, visually), entertaining gameplay... The dream is coming together.

[@andersrasmussen3942]

...or just plain stupid.

[@almightydeity]

People are sold on a promise and believe anything Chris Roberts says. The game is too ambitious. Multiplayer will kill performance, and they're running out of funds. The cult will tell you I'm wrong. Healthy companies don't privately share 10% of their stocks to private investors if everything is going well. There's no incentive to finish this since most people that wanted in have spent. Tens of thousands bought expensive ships which still haven't made it, and thousands bought most of them and have little to show for it.

In fact, as you said, even ships have very complex dynamics... and as a matter of fact I discovered not long ago how to make a very clean manual landing. When you are approaching land, scroll your mouse wheel down a lot. That will take the engine's power to a very very low speed which is perfect for landing. From inside the cabin at the left bar of the ship velocity hub you can see a horizontal line that goes up and down when scrolling the mouse wheel. Hope you can have smooth landings now... :D

[@simoneperale3765]

Dude, it's a game looking 8 centuries forward, in the lore there's even a totally artificial world (Synthworld) even if it's a half failed project. I don't think that it would even be the main problem... What about oxygen production an atmosphere management in general? Waste water? Food production on such a large scale? It's sci-fi... They probably have a technology that recycles almost 100% of waste

To all the people hating on the game's development time, you're probably also the people who bash developers for rushing games out the door for money. Pick a side. Example: Cyberpunk 2077 was announced in 2012, Star Citizen began work in 2011. Good games take time. ALL good games take time.

[@star4ci862]

And Cyberpunk is singleplayer game, SC is an MMO full online (SQ42 is the singleplayer campaign for SC)

[@Yorgarazgreece]

One would say they are more critical because people actually put money to make sc where as in the case of cp cdpr puts the money. But still, that doesn't make much sense since, those who make these "criticisms" are mostly non-backers anyway. Most backers already know the risk of such an ambitious project before backing the game.

[@Hokie2k11]

Not only that, I can't in good conscious call what 'work' they did in 2011... or even 2012 for that matter... development. They had an insanely small staff (started with 2 people, now they have 550) and were mainly developing a sales pitch.

Otherwise like any MMO people will eventually max and get bored...yet Suguha apparently played it for a few years almost daily , even though the only main quest outside the literal Race Wars made by players seems to have been the race for the world tree itself. an AI constantly coming up with new stuff to fill a giant map realistically?

Right now the entire simulation runs on a single server which limits, what you can do with it.

The epitome of "ready when its ready". Would it be cool if it didn't take so long? Sure. But it's also cool that this sort of thing is even possible... and if it succeeds it could send a big message to AAA publishers. Can't bash publishers for releasing half-baked titles while in the next breath crucify games when development goes long.

11:15 To make landing easier you best reduce your throttle limiter (bound to mouse scroll wheel for example) and descent very slowly in either coupled or preferably in decoupled mode (toggle bound to V key by default). In decoupled just let the ship slowly sink to the ground. That makes it a lot less awkward. Or, on landing pads that got assigned to you by landing services you could use the auto-landing functionality (long press N). I suppose ground radar and downward remote camera views for landing will be implemented eventually.

Though I look forward to in-cockpit landing cameras (they have mentioned these are in the works), decoupled landings do the job just fine for now for me at least and look great.

[@elise3455]

They've acknowledged the lack of ground radar on Spectrum (IIRC), so that should arrive at some point.

[@ToxicFlight]

You can literally just use autopilot landing

This game is slowly starting to look like an old game.

[@dennisgordon7767]

this is the best comment ive read in 2019. nice. But consider less impressive looking MMORPGS (wow for example) and how they hold up because of scale and game mechanics. I think this should be fine UNLESS VR becomes insanely good really fast.. but then again this could probably be vr compatible, not sure.

[@AiMaTay]

Holy shit, you're right. Remember when this stuff was beautiful? Crazy how times change.

I was just thinking the same thing that graphically it's not as impressive as it used to be.

[@MrInkblots]

@@dennisgordon7767 I believe they're planning on implementing VR support.

Looks a bit like what Cyberpunk is going for

[@Nadz203]

But with no actual gameplay content!?

[@Sieztt]

@@Nadz203 Man you people are just relentless lol.

[@revanruler6404]

yeah except cyberpunk isn't a scam and will actually release

[@DarkDemonXR]

@Robert Phillips "play"... well play... For me play is not test shit here and there. have this game any start and finish¿?

[@Unisylvekitty]

@@DarkDemonXR the game is being built form ground up. they are working out bugs and shit every patch so the game wont have any. hell they can release it now and be literally unplayable and people will whine. they are fixing things and yes 400 people should get the game done but i rather them work on everything over time than release a broken game like 90% of all games sold nowadays

[@Theadventurebox3]

By the time SC comes out it’ll be a history game. This looks incredible tho, props to the devs.

[@justabum1242]

they have raised a shit ton of money for it and its been nearly a decade in development...there, fixed it

[@ToastedLobster]

@@justabum1242 More like around 6-7 years in development. It was only around 4 years ago before they started to get the manpower they needed to go into full production

[@gankstrap]

Toaster Let the ignorance stay with em bc thats all we have nowadays, people so retarded that talk shit about thing without even looking for information about it

[@alexa.davronov1537]

Too boring, really.

[@CletusVanDamme2]

by the time SC come out history will be done.
