LIRIK reacts to Squadron 42: I Held The Line

[@Anonnymouse53]

Technically SC is next-next-gen already, but the server tick rates hover ~5htz. It's amazing it works as well as it does (poorly). They really need that server meshing to come online quickly, anyone who has been lucky enough to find themselves on a fresh server with only a few people know it's a conpletely different game when the servers run at 30htz - still low by FPS game standards but night & day difference, especially for any AI interactions. CIG still have a lot to prove, but they've got a number of wins under their belt now with technologies that people said was impossible, vaporware, etc. imo, fair play to them for doing something hard. Every other AAA title is doing the same thing for over a decade and just adding ray-tracing and still release everything broken to make publishers bank. If SC releases with 80% of it's stretch goals, it's going to make every other multiplayer game feel 30 years old. Who knows if it'll be fun though, that's an entirely different problem.

"Yo, chat. How do you get stuck on the 'sir' shit?" Subbed and liked. Please keep it coming with that heat.

5:09 NO this is Squadron 42 the single player game, this generations wing commander. SC is a MMO a completely different game built with the same assets from Sq42, assets be ported over to SC because they are where the advances are made because SQ42 was always the priority.

This and the engine demo they did for Citcon was a progress report to justify why they deserved 600M dollars and a decade. They delivered some jaw dropping stuff given this started with 5 guys in a garage with nothing but a wild idea and no software or company. If SQ42 polishes out nice and not shit the bed on release as bad as Cyberpunk's launch, I think they might do well and restore some credibility for CIG. The MMO side is not the best presentation of what the game engine itself is capable of because of the janky server tech they are developing. 80% of the devs have been working on SQ42 solely and the MMO has been suffering for it with the promise of a payoff about to pay out. All those new UIs and features in SQ with the new engine features will finally pivot over to the MMO for an overdue QOL and optimization update. They showed off live the new server mesh tech running that will unlock server FPS binds and features they had to hold back because the current server limits were breaking the AI with the workload. We will see.

[@TheRealBillix]

Yeah man.. Just think on this for a moment... Blizzard revenue is 7.5billion dollars... revenue only. And they cant even make relevant games

[@crispy9175]

​@@TheRealBillixthat's why I'm happy to back CIG and be patient. You don't break the mold while doing the same thing everyone else does. Once they get server meshing implemented it's going to be an industry changer.

[@Phoenixstorm36]

His chat went hard on him.

[@trinityx3o522]

What would you expect honestly? The chats of these big Twitch streamers are filled with absolute brainrots.

[@TheRealBillix]

His chat has a hard time breathing

[@machoalright]

How did they choose the time? they have this event every year at the same time.. furtheron, good review imo on the bad and the good. People forget, that they forbid chris to give any release dates :) if you know the past, you know why. But personally i dont think its 10 years, more like 1.5 year. and an annoucement at gamescon.

[@YezaOutcast]

you just cant compare star citizen to starfield. the utilized tech in star citizen is worlds more advanced and complicated then anything that starfield uses. it took 11 yrs to develop PES (persistent entity streaming), OCS (object container streaming) and server meshing.

[@DeepStone-6]

I saw Lirik try to do the 890J mission last year and die like 10 times on stream and then he said he'd come back to the MMO in like 3 years 😂

[@CitizenSebix]

Yeah, waiting a bit is smart. We like to say, the best moments in Star Citizen haven’t happened yet - so no rush to jump into it just yet.

[@dzibanart8521]

Think about it , once day, this game will be playable on a handheld device o.O

[@frances3064]

Adama was commander then later admiral

[@arcadealchemist]

holding the line instead of chasing it :3 BUY MORE JPEGS

[@crispy9175]

What?

[@frances3064]

All of the ships I bought are in the game now so your logic is shit

[@lolololo-cx4dp]

This isn't nft bruh
