I still believe in this game
Ill be playing Bloodborne on PC sooner than this shit getting done.
Reminds me of something.
Prepare your ass for Scam Shitizen backers and fanboys to tell you how great it is when all evidence shows it's barely a game and buggy as shit. Oh I forgot it's still "Alpha" after fucking years of something akin to development.
Derek Smart was right.
Greatness takes time. The game is real and it's going to be great. You're just mad because you can't afford a good ship and you're going to be owned in space by me and my multicrew.
At this point I honestly just hope that the entire project crashes so hard that even Bane would be amazed.
>these threads are just shitposters making up stories for eachother now
It's getting pretty pathetic. Incidentally, Cyberpunk 2077 was announced many months before Star Citizen. Guess what, it takes time to make games when you're not copy pasting shit.
they never said they would show anything at E3 they said they would show shit at Gamescom

CDPR isn't hyping it to the fucking moon either and promising things that will never exist in their game like Roberts is.
They are also not selling $2500 JPG's to idiots.
>>342943486
This is true . Greatness takes time and what they've already got since they picked up development in 2014 is jawdropping. The big two (Activision and EA) tried to assert their dominance as triple AAA publishers by releasing their own space games to squash Star Citizen, but they got cold feet after seeing what Roberts has been cooking up and are rushing their releases to avoid becoming the next Battleborn.

>Greatness takes time. The game is real and it's going to be great.
that's what i was telling myself aboutHalf Life 3
>>342944029
They had a separate team (Team Black) on Cyberpunk since the announcement. Also anyone who thinks 116 mil is big for a game is a joke. Their only fucking income is the money the playerbase is willing to give them, they don't have a publisher or investor unlike CDPR that owns GOG. And yes, they're still getting a steady amount of money because guess what, if you actually follow development instead of regurgitating shit /v/ says, it's actually looking good.
>>342944029
Don't even talk about witcher 3 and Star Shitizen in the same sentence.

Cyberpunk team is small and the whole project was on backburner during the development of TW3.
>Also anyone who thinks 116 mil is big for a game is a joke.
Can you shill even harder? 116mil is an incredible amount of money for DEVELOPMENT budget. Majority of AAA games don't have $100mil development budget. Marketing money != development money.

>>342944432
>Cyberpunk team is small and the whole project was on backburner during the development of TW3.
They had about 100 people with a few swapping back and forth. CIG had 5. And yes, that still isn't anything for the game they want to make.
>>342944432
You are implying they have spent all their money and have been fully staffed for the past 5 years

If you have absolutely no standards, sure. There's been no actual progress in last half a year except for in-game shop and couple ships added into the game.
>b-b-but persistence
You mean basic save/load conditions that every MMO has? Truly amazing, now how about seamless transitions and landing zones? Mining? Piping and power lines? Other CORE features that were promised time and time again? B-but surely it's still alpha, right?.. Oh...
>b-b-b-b-but local grid
You mean "flying levels" with <<USE>> death triggers, people clipping though everything and sound engine that doesn't even work with them, making sounds completely ignore walls and floors? Quite an achievement.
>>342944172
116 mil is a lot for a single game. Witcher 3 costed around 80 million after they marketed the shit out of it and hired more than a 100 freelancers and permananet members to just release it in time.
Tortanic costed 200 because of marketing, GTA 5 costed 250 because of all the licensed music and a bigger marketing than a blockbuster movie.
>>342944493
>They had about 100 people with a few swapping back and forth. CIG had 5.
Thanks for the laugh. CIG had 150+ people for over 3 years, 300 for almost 2 years now. It's summer 2016 outside, not 2014 anymore to make "they just started development" excuses.

>>342944847
Then you'd know seamless transitions and landing zones are already working and piping and power lines are part of item 2.0 that's nearly done.

>>342945154
More threads is better. Right now it's server bottlenecked until they have item 2.0 working.
With all the features they promised I'll be surprised if they delivered on 1/5th of them. I followed theSAthread when the kickstarter came out and they were trashing it as a scam from the start.
>>342945037
>We were talking about the state when both games were announced anon.
No, we were talking about how development of SC and Cyberpunk are completely different things because unlike SC CDPR actually spent all these years making Witcher 3 while Chrissy was jerking himself off on another tropical vacation and selling pictures of non-existing ships that they can't even deliver on.

LMAO.

This is a lie. Goons were in SC for literally $300,000 until Ben and Skavik made it clear that their EVE griefing/scamming ways were unwanted. Then they teamed up with Derek Smart to launch millions of fake support tickets and do fraudulent chargebacks to try to hurt CIG.
CIG just keeps on trucking. BDSSE. Book it. Done.

who cares? if the game comes out as expected I'll play it, if not or doesn't come at all I'll not play it. Simple as that. People who funded SC took business/economical risk that is pretty normal and usual in a funding, in every funding since thousands of years. They didn't pay for a complete product, didn't they? Stupid and useless to pretend completeness when it's just a project. Sorry not sorry.

>>342947472
And then they added the option to the game and have been teasing it a couple of days ago. Granted though, the studio in charge of the FPS module was a giant red flag the first time I heard they were working on it. Fuck Illfonic, the only mistake I was worried about so far. It's a good thing they're gone.
>>342943278
I still want to play Halo 3 on PC. I don't even get it, 10 years have past, just release the goddamn HD version for PC and let us have our fun.
>>342947585
Haven't really used any of the weapons but it seems to work. Would still very much like to see it like the Arena Commander. Latest patch brought some neat new things though and despite all the shitposting, I'm still positive that it'll come out. As Chris said in the last 10 for the chinaman, they overhauled almost the complete engine to have it working. Hopefully we'll get more systems in now. Item 2.0 might bring a lot of changes.
>>342947859
I thought 2.0 was brought it with the latest patch?
>>342947948
No that was the item port system, or at least a part of it. Item 2.0 will be interesting because it handles logic entirely differently as well, each item can have their own logic, and each item attached as well. This way the workload can be distributed and is required for the network LoDs, which will make the universe not run like shit. Then probably not too long after procedural planets make it in so pretty much most of the engine-related things are solved. Then they have the rest of the time for making assets and the putting in the shitload they already have but not doing anything right now.
>>342948060
Yeah, 10 for the chairman was posted on the 20th and he mentioned Item 2.0 in there. I like the new item port system actually. A bit cluttered on smaller ships but I like it better than the old system for ships. In fact I like a lot of the stuff they've been doing. I really hope that development will pick up speed once item 2.0 is in. From what I understand from the video he said that the engine rewrites are done now.

Reminder; this game began on kickstarter
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cig/star-citizen
then once it got enough money from those fuckers, "Cloud Imperium Games" made their own website and started bilking money from even more autistic retards.
>>342948950
Actually it started on the website, then because backers were requesting a different way to pledge, they also did a Kickstarter.
>>342948850
It even went for $20 for both on a couple of occasions. 20 is not too bad for what there is right now.

did star citizen get a big update recently or something? there aren't usually this many RSI apologists in these threads, whether they're shilling or rusing or delusional. or all three
Im gonna bump the thread to make you faggot haters a little more buttblasted.
Star Citizen has by far the best technology in any game ever made right now. Being able to move from a space station, to a hanger, to inside the ship, watch a battle while standing behind the pilot, and then being able to EVA outside the ship and into another space station. By far, without any comparison, the most technologically impressive game.
It has the best flight mechanics of any game so far.
t has a great racing game that is very difficult and fun to learn.
It has a huge variety of ships and you could get them all for $30. Thats right, not $10,000 but THIRTY DOLLARS.
Game is currently fun, and the game will be even more fun as more updates are released.
>>342951038

Casuals that didn't get past the tutorial area, the game actually consists of space travel and combat between different open world planets, all with inventory and resource management, quests and fully spoken NPC dialogue.

Hello, yes. I play Elite Dangerous and also hop onto SC occasionally. ED is marketed as a complete product. It already has its first "expansion". The expansion has provided the ability to drive on empty rocky planets and change your guns slightly. Meanwhile SC is not marketed as any sort of completed game.

>game has been getting updates, and can already do things that no other game has even attempted let alone succeeded at
Im happy with the progress so far. Fact you can physically walk into a ship and move about it while flying is a fucking miracle by itself, no other game has gotten it to work so well even at this level. The larger ships are already like maps for CQC fights and boarding them is fun.
What really pisses me off though the is waste of money on some things, like hiring big name actors. No game has enough cash cows to sustain development forever, that was a reckless expenditure.

LOL, these? Even animations look horrible AND it's CGI, not even real time.
NMS has a cartoony but coherent stylized art direction. SC is a clusterfuck of highpoly models that all look like trash because in-game lighting is not what you see on pretty promotional renders. SC already looks outdated by modern standards, it's nowhere even close to cutting edge console games like Uncharted 4, not to mention Crysis 3 on PC that came out years ago.

The forumdads are getting worn down from what iv seen
Not that it changes anything, even though there is huge support for massive changes (even so far as many people supporting the idea of scrapping the expansions so they can focus on the games current content) there is no evidence the developers will listen to anyone.
Game is already doomed though. There is no redeeming it at this point.
Well there's got to be atleast one Duke Nukem Forever at any given time and seeing as Last Guardian and FF15 are coming out Star Citizen decided to step up.

At the rate its going it will be a very long time before its made. Those who have paid for this game to be made are very disappointed. It MIGHT be made, there is literally no guarantee of completion and the longer it takes to make the game the more chances of collapse there are. staying afloat may become a concern later on. There is reason to be concerned, don't deny it.
The concept of the game is pretty hype but the gameplay itself looks "okay". Its nothing spectacular except for a gimmick that will get dry and "just there" pretty quickly.

Whatever makes you feel better, anon.I literally bought into the game less than a year ago. Have spent a total of 15 dollars and have the single player game and MMO when it releases.

This is NOT okay! Not when you can unlock them in the Elite games the old fashioned way by getting gud.
>>342954390
Not that anon but I genuinely want this game to release because there's no way it's not going to be hysterical in some way or another.

Thanks for dropping my picrelated, chinese moot.
Does anyone remember Starfighter Inc., that game from some of the people that made X-Wing vs Tie Fighter? They had a failed kickstarter last year.
Went to their forums today and a dev confirmed in May that a new kickstarter will come soon.
>>342954567
Don't you know? A SC ship is the new secured bond. I'm literally sitting here printing money for the future, and YOU are a pathetic virgin with actual discipline with your spending.

The game was dead the moment they announced segregation (but shared characters) for solo and online play.
Unless they remove solo play there is no way the game will work. There is nothing they can do to add in any real content.
>>342954478
You could spend real money to get ED ships too, I have the proof as a original ED backer, got an Eagle for it.
I also got 10% off all ships/upgrades forever on my account, something that is absolutely P2W and puts me way ahead of everyone else. As well as cheaper insurance for life.
But both games planned/have removed ships as a purchasing option at release, and SC doesnt provide life time insurance anymore on older ships.
>>342954379
>Instances/Real space being absolutely boring
This will never change as long as Sandro is lead design. He defends the fact that ED is empty. I remember him posting on the forums asking people if purposely restricting station docking rights should be a thing implemented a year ago. He is a clueless designer and should be canned. Hell, he has neglected to include some basic fucking tasks that all other space sims have.

ED has interesting asteroid belts, also planet surfaces now. But indeed, most of the combat is shit.
Space combat is fundamentally irrealistically retarded as long as the piloting and firing is controlled by a human, but Frontier is too shit to figure this out.
>>342953067
The sad part is that ED COULD BE a great game, but fucking Sandro and Braben won't get their heads out of their asses, and the forumdads constantly blow smoke up everyones asses pretending that everything is A-OK and could not possibly be better.
Meanwhile, in the reality of the game, we have RNG piled on top of RNG, very little actual content, a completely artificial economy, and no goddamn EVA.
I want my EVA.
>there are """people""" who keep their savings in the form of cash and cash equivalents
kek, you losers have absolutely NO idea how to manage your own finances
I have freed myself from the bank jew and store my fortunes in a very specific asset class, namely SC ships.
I'm actually living below the poverty line right now because my 95% of my paycheck is spent on buying more and more ships, since they're such a good investment and don't have to be declared to the tax office. Once Star Citizen comes out in 2030, I'll be able to retire comfortably as the richest man in America.
>>342954729
It's a win win for me. If it releases and bombs it'll be hilarious, if it defies current expectations and goes out well it'll be hilarious. If it doesn't release it just won't be as funny so I want it out.
No matter what there's going to be someone sitting there with an angry look on their face as someone else sits next to them laughing in their ear.
Star Citizen is a free meal I just gotta wait a few years for it to finish cooking.

I realize this is ironic shitposting, but how in the world could anyone regard a virtual space ship as an 'investment'?
Maybe in EVE where a titan costs something like 30k USD, but I don't even know if those costs go up. In fact the only thing that seems to steadily increase in MMOs is the 'use this in-game item to get sub time' item, aka PLEX, APEX, WoW Tokens, ect.
>>342955341
>do nothing all day

>>342955443
I don't think anyone thinks of a virtual game good as an investment, other than the incredibly delusional and some of those delusional have bought into the development. Also except for that one guy that bought a planet in an MMO and then sold it for double he paid.

So, the game's intended scale is beyond that of any game ever made before, despite:

>employees needing to be selected and trained;
>no company culture existing at the time of creation; and
>an indefinite, constantly fluctuating budget that is directly tied to the scale (more coming in money=add more features, less money coming in=scrap shit).
And all of this from a man famous for a giant financial black hole and multiple movies that never got off the ground? Wow, where can I sign?

I think it's interesting that people keep slamming Star Citizen when A) It's in ALPHA, and B) Only about 1/200th of the game is actually available to play (IF that...) and C) CIG regularly and clearly states that these are protype test builds of a game that has only really started to come together in the last 4 months.I worked in game design, albeit on a MUCH smaller project, but from my perspective, and understanding of the new technology involved, I am BLOWN AWAY by what I have seen so far. Knowing what is coming down the pipeline is even more impressive. These guys are literally doing something that hasn't been done before, and they are having to create actual new game engine technologies to do it. Because of that, yes, there are a TON of bugs. I can see why most studios don't even want the general public to get their hands on a game in alpha, and it's for exactly the same reason: people complaining about a product that's not even close to being finished. Yes, alphas are buggy as hell, unstable, and the frame rate sucks. Well, yes, that's what happens with EVERY AAA game before it reaches beta. It's just that in the case of SC, there aren't really any secrets about what they are doing, or why.As a backer of SC since 2012, not only am I impressed by the progress being made, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this will end up being one of the biggest MMOs out there when the commercial release version finally comes out. If you are a star wars fan, star trek fan, or a WOW junkie, there's going to be a whole new space universe coming, and it's going to be glorious!(And yes, ,there will be cantinas filled with aliens just like Star Wars).
>>342956854
Thanks for your input, Wu-Tang Tran.
>>342956656
This, where the fuck did he even get that percentage? I think it's bullshit, developers probably get paid on a case by case basis depending on the project.
>>342956854
I called it 2-3 years ago, if Star Citizen finishes and delivers the game it promised to be, then we will see an impact 10 times bigger than what WoW did to MMORPGS. Star Citizen will revive, revolutionize and reunify the mmorpg genre and players.
I haven't backed Star Citizen and don't plan to, based on principals, but the game will be great if it finishes and has done pretty good till now.
>>342957239
Oh yeah, of course. The thing is the game is not going to ever deliver on its promises. That was clear from the very start
>>342956854
>A) It's in ALPHA

What did they do with the other 4 years?
>>342957348

My favorite thing about SC is when theres a lull of nothing new the shitposting reaches new heights of hilarity.
And then something new is shown off and everyone loses their fucking minds over how cool it is and buries the shitposting, only for the cycle to renew.

Jesus kids, they just fucking released any sort of persistence on the alpha server! They're developing it slow but steady, the right way, building up the systems they need to implement bigger features.
People whined they'd never have multiplayer ships. Well now we have them. They said we'd never have any hint of MMO gameplay. Well now, the alpha has some basic quests and hubs, persistence, and now a fucking store.
There is still a lot to go and that's fine. I'd rather have them spending their money on the game and small events rather than going to fucking E3 or whatever and getting shit on by stupid blogspam with the same kind of ideas as this post. Lets not forget that the game has only been in active development for a little while They're only 3 years out building something bigger and more complex, with lots of new ideas (ie the grabby-hands mechanic and inventory/cargo system ). World of Warcraft, funded and developed by one of the most well-heeled in the industry, and only was an evolutionary change from EverQuest and other mmos of the time (not a revolutionary one), started development in like 1998. There are screens of the alpha from 1999! It wasn't until almost 2005 that it actually released! We just didn't get to see it along the way.
Star Citizen is doing something much bigger, with a much lesser budget (yes, even with all their crowdfunding money they have a lower budget than a big name one-off shitbird title like Call of Duty, much less something like WoW. They're just spending it on the fucking game!), so just fucking calm down. They know they have to get it right. I don't care how long it takes really, if they can do that. Chris Roberts said the game and engine are made to evolve for more than a decade after proper launch, for that matter. I'm having fun with every alpha that is released and the is steady progress. This depth has never been attempted before. It will take time.

Don't worry everyone! After three long years, they have.... a store!
I honestly don't get the appeal.
Even in the unlikely reality that this game turns out to be 100% of what the developers and consumers wanted, it still sounds like shit.
>Pay 1000 dollars to get this cool ship
>Plus 800 dollars for insurance so that you can get it again if it's destroyed.
What Jewish bullshit is this? Why the fuck would I want to support or play a game that functions like this? I know you can steal ships from other players if you're skilled at it, but it doesn't change the fact the other guy is in an advantageous position because he paid 10k dollars for all ships.
The Wing Commander games were great, but I don't need a new one so badly that I'd get myself in this fucking pyramid scheme. Go fuck yourself, Chris Kikeberts.

>flying still feels terrible
Please clarify. That's been the one excellent thing for me so far. Are you expecting jet fighter physics in a space sim?
If so, you're standard is wrong. Not the game's.
