They been streaming for 2 days and we got nothing?

filmoret

By now we would have like 10 page thread about what they have been streaming with video clips.  So far we got nothing?  Where's the video's of the past 2 days in citizencon and all the stuff everyone has been waiting for?

Reiketsu

The last two days they have just been playing 2.5
The good stuff starts in about an hour an a half.

Everyone's waiting for CR's presentation today.  He's the only one giving an update on new stuff.  The rest is just going over old stuff and information for new players.

RPGMASTERGAMER

lol

Not hour and half, I think it's just 15min now... Or not, I hate timezones.
Like GC, they were streaming the live game before the presentation.

Nothing better than check your timezone at

EDIT: pre-show starts in the half hour now, the show in the next hour.

Swiss banking at its best.

@OP:
You have been reading the stream description for 2 days and still not understood that the main announcement is still to come ?


Have fun

There will be another fake video of 'soon to come gameplay' footage later I am sure.

Noone in their right mind has been watching that crap for 2 days.  I was looking for highlights but found nothing.

MaxBacon

Calm calm rodarin, you'll have more than enough time to make walls of text explaining how everything is faked and all that jazz.

Shall the developers of SC never dare to have and show progress for the game that is not "faked".

The frontpage of the website during this year? The Citcon was on the "Next Events" as the 9th. O.o

@ 7:47 PM this is some of the sorriest crap I have seen.  I'm also beginning to think there is no climax its just going to be this filler crap about how they made a website with a chat room.  Dude is this 1995 or what?

So how many times are they going to use that worn out tired excuse for game delays?  We want it to be good therefore its delayed.

If it's not ready it's not ready. Do you prefer...

"We need to meet the release date so we'll bandage and release the unfinished thing."


Do you prefer the later? Nobody likes delays but end of the day... there's no lack of games where we would have wished they would have taken more time before release.

Same old excuse different year.

So no SQ42 this year and didn't really commit to next year.  System updates every three months instead of monthly.  Future projections for system updates.  Interesting.  They had great sales with the new ship just from special backers regular backers get to purchase today on.  

Kept saying don't hold him to dates but the only dates he gave was 'planned for next year.'  Right on course for 2020 so far, imo.

Herase

When they keep saying that by the 6 - 7 year mark, then i'll say something.

MaxBacon

Do what?  If it was ready it would be released by now, it's simple as that.

More unfortunate they wouldn't demo a mission yet, last year there was quite the baklash as the quality of the characters and such was rather basic so it seems they're playing safe now.

Lets be honest, this whole thing has been a license to print money.  Why would Chris or any of the investors push to release the game when they are making so much more money by dragging this out?  I can no longer fault Chris when the players continue to throw money at him.  If I was him, I would be pushing the concept ships out each month and taking that money to the bank each year, just like he is doing.  It is in his financial interest to drag this development out as long as possible.

What a lot of people aren't even realizing is when this game finally launches around 2022 it will be dated and AAA companies will have given us something much much better.

They are making both, taking their time to create the game AS they continuously push out updates for the game. You love to forget the alpha exists and keeps being updated upon.

And as for the oudated BS, this game started on 2012, just compare it to how it looked back then... and then come and tell me about how outdated SC is.

Blaze_Rocker

Bitching because they delay it because "It's not ready"? Do you really want another 'No Man's Sky' debacle? I seriously doubt it.

While you wait why not buy another ship?

That's the mini game.  Buying upgrading and melting ships for newer or bigger ones.  Even before the ships are made.

If you'll be able to buy stuff after the game is out why would they milk this half game? They would make more money with the game out sooner. 

Your point makes no sense.


Also...

GIANT SPACE WORMS!!

They have said that you will not be able to buy stuff once the game launches.  And they will limit how much you are able to buy.  So right now there is no rules on how much players buy but once the game launches they claim they will limit it.

Octagon7711

I never thought about it but the game will never look dated because they are constantly updating and rewriting content to keep stuff looking new as they do development.  It just makes development take a little longer as they all contain updated content.

That demo was obviously a lot of scripts but it gave me such a Star Wars vibe I really wasn't expecting and hit quite pleasantly.

It really shows what they are really going for and are capable of, having a dynamic system able to generate wrecks like that, spawns the AI and then the missions that players enrol by scanning attempting to find these delericts.

And Tracy is pretty much on the editor proving and showing the raw tools they used to create this that exist are not any faked fantasy.

I believe the real challenge is get all of this working well on a smooth multiplayer experience.
