ocarina of time had basic IK foot placement

What's the crowdfunding goal to get an N64 port of Star Citizen?

[Spoon]

It's absolutely amazing how much of nothing they showed off.
You'd almost think that after 6 years of development, they don't have a game to show.

The thumb is on stage now, get ready to cringe.

microsoft no wing commander's city sky planet simulator 2023.

ok that was cool. even if it never ships, it's a hell of a demo.

Oh lol jumps take 8 minutes, that is totally going to work like a charm roflmao

[Col. Fishguts]

Aaaand it's over. Had some nice looking procgen cities and landscapes that will keep the whales happy for at least another year.

Number of seconds that any actual gameplay of SC or SQ42 was shown -> 0

[Spoon]

They do this ****, every, single, year.
Show a techdemo.

[General Battuta]

Nice procgen city tech, how do you interact with it 

[Spoon]

You don't

Hi guys. When does Citcon start?

Indeed. Is this new ship a stealth ship? Not that it really matters..

Blatant ripoff.  He'll probably say homage.

A cynical rundown of the event. Apparently feet kicking up dust is a "game changer."

What fans wanted to know was what is coming after Star Citizen 3.0 even though 3.0 is still in testing with the Evocati testing group. Beyond 3.0, CIG will be switching to a date driven model instead of a content-driven model. The plan is to push out quarterly releases and there will be a roadmap of features and content releases to show what they are working on. Of course, these schedules don’t mean very much because even Roberts says that content that doesn’t make it into a release will be shifted into the next. This means that CIG can keep a release date for anything completely open. What they appear to be trying to get away from is long periods where there are no updates at all.

OH, BOY! More excuses to push things back!

[Blue Lion]

Didn't they already have a plan for roadmaps to show progress because people were mad at the lack of updates?

There are actually masochists in the MMO crowd that dig this ... a lot.

It's just insane for anyone who evaluates a game based on gameplay. If you evaluate it in terms of"effort/reward" then it totally makes sense. How else can you put hours uppon hours into the game and prove the worth of your e-p*** and feel superior over all the peasants who do not game fulltime, but also do other things in their life ... like work, or love. Unworthy unwashed peasants. Besides, "you can play minigames or browse Mobiglass during travel or even alt tab out and do something else" while you (uh cough?) "play the game", so it's totally fine. (They are saying that in righteous defense of long travel times on the forums ... really. )

That's basic Everquest mechanics still rearing their ugly head  ... in this day and age, LOL.
(And the Everquest mentality is strong on the forums. Woe to anyone who dares criticise tedious mechanics. Apparently they are what sets this game apart from all the other unworthy games.  )

[Luis Dias]

I especially love when they claim there are no "loading screens", because ya know, everything is being calculated real time.

Just a minute afterwards, they're all like "and now going to that planet which is 20smth million kilometers will take 8 minutes, see, cause that's how the spaceengine works, and totally not the biggest hidden loading screen you'll ever see in a game. Nope. Not at all."

Who the **** eats this **** up? Come on people.

[Phantom Hoover]

I dunno, that doesn't seem too likely to me. Travel time is a ****ty cover for loading screens because it's pretty much fixed but loading is highly unpredictable (Elite just freezes you indefinitely on transitions because of this) — I think it's more likely that, given Star Citizen standards of technical quality, it was pretty easy to implement a smooth loading system which wasn't noticeably more broken than the rest of the game.

[AdmiralRalwood]

Travel time is a ****ty cover for loading screens because it's pretty much fixed but loading is highly unpredictable

I dunno, I think I could reasonably assume any load time for a system would be <= 8 minutes

[Phantom Hoover]

you could reasonably assume that the netcode wouldn't bottleneck graphical fps too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They're not wrong.  Lack of fun would definitely set this game apart from fun ones.
