The Genesis presentation was hugely important because Genesis (Geology and erosion especially) will enable a lot of gameplay -- especially around mining, science, exploration, and data/info running. And, this really brings StarEngine much closer to the level of Unreal 5. With Server Meshing, that gives CIG a big leg up on Unreal Engine, which is not due to have server meshing until Unreal 6 (multiple years away still).

What about No Man’s Sky? Or any other game that released broken in recent years? I think a lot of us have been conditioned to think polish is the quick part. Polish is difficult and takes a lot of time. Most AAA games aren’t given that time. 2026 actually has me very hopeful the game will come out in a great, and playable state. If they really are in the polish phase, then I’m glad they’re taking their time.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1232">20:32</a> technically, if you analyze the recording they uploaded afterwards, the gameplay and cinematic times are about 50/50. I think when it's released, people will spend more time exploring the ship before the battle and also just taking in the game as a whole, which would tip the balance even more that way. If you were to rush through the non-turret gameplay it would definitely feel pretty heavy on the cinematics. On that subject, the first bit of gameplay in the turret kind of left me a bit disappointed and it felt like an arcade shooter. But as the battle progressed, it became much more interesting eventful, I do hope they find a way to make it feel less "on rails" in that aspect though. Either way, very impressive showing for SQ42 IMO and I am excited for 2026.

What do you mean Castra looks final? Those assets are literally whitebox (at best). They only look half decent because they are MASSIVE and FAR AWAY. But if you look in the background, they only had like literally 2 rock assets and were reusing them at different orientations and sizes, and the city itself was SMOOTH AS FUCK. They still have to go through ACTUAL whitebox, to finalize geometry, and then greybox, and then actual art passes, lighting, sound, etc, and then it can APPROACH final. The shit you saw was ABSOLUTELY concept meshes created by a CONCEPT ARTIST lmao. That's like comparing the work a modder does to an actual DLC released for a video game. They are not comparable things, and the one only looks good because it's the work of a single person looked at while you squint heavily, while the other one is literally millions of dollars of labour-hours (for even indie games, frankly; or many tens or hundreds of millions for a AA-AAA).

I think it's all up to how procgen is used. With SC their building modular assets that when combined can be anything from a small outpost to a decent-sized town. All are designed to work together. And I'm willing to bet that generally, one mining outpost will look like another. And with planet generation, they're trying to go with a high-level systematic approach. If done right, when you get into the weeds (pun intended) everything will fit right. Temps will probably depend on distance to the system's star, and the star type. From there, combined with moisture levels, you'll get different biomes. I guess we'll only really get planets with a lot of greenery and livable atmo in the Goldilocks zone. With Bethesda's use of procgen, it's like they just said hey, this planet will be this biome, and we have a few handcrafted POIs. Divide the planet into cells, and sprinkle the POIs around each cell. And have all the loading screens, all of them.

I think "less repetition" is the key word / turn of the phrase, there. Some stuff will still have that same-ish feel, but at a way higher variety and uniqueness compared to earlier games doing such.

I appreciate your coverage of SC in particular because it doesnt feel biased like a lot of other coverage. These recap videos are also a great way to share some cool stuff with friends without having to sigt though 16 hours of streams or whatever. You do good work with your editing. I'll just say that as a vacker for 5 years now, ive been tricked too many times to get excited. I hope this all comes true but i wont defend promises anymore. I am wxcited to play 4.0 myself and judge that experience instead

@nebulajumper621613 сағат бұрын
It was cool to see how many features they still want to add to the game. But today, without all these, it runs like a patato .. and most is static info except for the player position, player inventory, ship list, ship position, missile and ammo, ship cargo boxes, some dropped items (but only for a while), mission status, ship and player status and a few other parameters that need to be captured by the server and distributed to max 100 other players. So with all the new features, the servers will also need to keep track of the improved VOIP and FOIP, server chats, friend lists, commerce, progression, blueprints, classes, all the player made buildings scattered everywhere, stations, station power, station and base shields, stations attached to other stations, attached to a huge ship manufacturing plant, org management improved economy, guild reputation, material quality, item quality, gear status and decay, food with different properties, tier based weapons and ships, maelstrom destruction, new weather, rain, storms, lightning that hurts whatever it touches, fire propagation, more dense planets, new global illumination, floating wood, dynamic audio, doppler effect, sound speed and delays, atmosphere density, new fauna, engineering components, component status, blueprints, the return of the beacons, base building, construction vehicles and drone management, ressource tracking while building, survey information, base power management, base acces management, roads, base defences (inside and outside), mobile base/factories, stealth mechanics, fuses, door keys, scanning, object scanning, object disabling, location mapping, rescue missions, raids, defense missions, bribe system, better AI, towing, refueling, refining, ship claims and ownership, dead man switch tracking, contraband scanning, new claim timers, shuttles, security response based on location risk level, insurance and warranty tracking, and last but not least, improved dirt. All this for 1.0 I ordered my quantum computer .. and will send a mail to CIG to do the same ..

@maverick933410 сағат бұрын
well one of the major factors leading to it running like a potato and why alot of the features aren't in the game is "server meshing", Almost all the features require server meshing to be working smooth and efficiently. It only just hit ptu and thus might take another year or 2 until it's in a proper state ( it might even require better real life tech for the servers and internet speeds) but once the meshing is sorted i guarantee we will see alot of features coming faster then ever.

@maverick9334 Ha the magical CIG term. Do you even know what it really is under the hood? Did you know that Chris is the only one using this definition? Do you also know that he heard for the first time while he was working as a joung lad for Ultima Online and since then it is stuck in his head and now in your? Why do you think all missions are deactivated during tests? Creating different shards based on location is a good thing and it can help with performance. Instancing uses it very well. But once you start to add a huge amount of data that needs to be traked not only one server, but synchronised between 4 .. 6 Well .. we'll see if their coding is on point.

After 12 years, just tired of swalling their copium and tired of seeing them slowly sinking with the help of a big part of the community who believes everything they say.

Great recap mate. It’s so exciting for what’s coming but the lack of clarity on any thing was worrying. The squadron release date makes me think everything else we saw makes it at least 7 years out. I guess the game and teams will grow so hopefully they can get through things a bit quicker…

2026 was really hard for me. I've worked with dev teams for almost 20 years now. I really cannot fathom why they need essentially 2+ years to optimize and polish a game that was presented in a near finished state two years in a row. Something doesn't quite add up. Maybe the second half of the game isn't up to the level of what we saw this year, but another 1+ years to launch? Where is the velocity?
@jackinthebox30113 сағат бұрын
Hit me hard too. Hyping everyone up with 'feature complete' last year was unintentionally a huge misdirection. Feature complete just means all necessary features are implemented. It doesn't mean they're working as intended and bug free. It's the minimum viable product. If they shipped it at 'feature complete' it would be *technically* what they promised to deliver. Polishing is a subjective metric. It's like editing a movie. A perfectionist could spend their entire life doing it and never release the product. Which is, unfortunately, what Chris Roberts is. But thankfully he has gotten to the point in his life where he realizes he actually has to ship a product. No repeats of his ouster at Digital Anvil before the release of Freelancer this time. Hopefully. Bug fixing a game at this scale is a huge endeavor. They'll spend 18 months on it and still miss some game breaking bugs.

@grygaming551911 сағат бұрын
I think the biggest issue for Roberts and overall his biggest failure was tying SQ42 to the PTU/Star Citizen. In reality Squadron 42 should have released on its stand alone with Spectrum being the Multi-player function for the game itself. At least this would have given Roberts more then enough good will as he was able to deliver a game and his vision. At the same time Spectrum coming out would have by far filled what was by far the most anemic FPS offerings in a decade. Battlefield 2042 and Call of Duty (w/ Warzone) has become a massive disappointment to FPS fans that Spectrum's Star Marine and squadron battle would have in effect push the FPS genre to higher heights. At the same time I can understand why SQ42 was held back until 1.0 Beta was ready for launch due to assets being developed and co-mingled (ease of intergration) allowed for players of SQ42 to enter SC without little to no need for a tutorial...as the game would serve as a giant story tutorial for that side. On that issue....what is SC going to be...is it going to be Rust in space or a fleshed out MMO with zero aimless direction via sandbox. Again biggest issue is the overall identity of SC, is just that what does the game want to be.

This was another "sandworm demo" year. I learned my lesson from the last one. The sandworm will eventually be a lot less cool than we thought and it is so far down the road we're going to meme this citizencon for many years to come and blame ourselves for drinking the hopium again. And no, I don't mean a literal sandworm. The sandworm is a metaphor for CIG showing stuff they will not build for years, and years, and years to come. They are a company that makes great videos but they suck at delivering anything in those videos.
