Star Citizen Roadmap Roundup Outlines Several Changes
The latest roadmap for Star Citizen points to several changes to the schedule.
Comments
and "elevator panels" and "t shirts" underneath armor etc. I had hope for this game about 4 years ago. I have ZERO hope this game will ever finish. ITs just crowd funded project that people are the programmers are being paid to participate in.
Who believes these lies?
- Feature Creep to explain why product is nevere reaching "production" level.
- More ridiculous ships for people to buy with real money to fund the devs lifestyle.
- Stay in alpha/beta so they can continue to suck money out of the stupids without having to actually stand behind a products quality.
Its pretty interesting how "kickstarter game developer" is now not only a lifestyle choice but also a very profitable career path.....
lol, you do know that the have a massive team. only a few of them are tasked with those fixes.
as to the game itself pretty sure when it does come out eve will be a thing of the past
so all youtube videos with 10's guy flying/fighting, station, microtech are vaporware because they decided to prioritize network improvement versus few new weapons skins and more death animation (to be delivered next quarters not never)?
Don't worry in the meantime, Crysis remaster is going to be delivered by publishers.. at least something new Lol
Those joining after testing one of the multiple free week per year... something no others publishers do? hard to lie when you can download the all game without any restriction...
in 2015 the game was collapsing 90 days top... In 2020 +75% of initial strecth goals have been released, more than 80 ships/vehicules are flyable and SQ42 beta is planned in few quarters.
Naysayers have always been wrong, consistently, that the lesson of this project
riiiight.....
How did the refund if not released within 18 months work out for people? Oh thats right, they surreptitiously changed the TOS to prevent people from getting refunds.
9 year development cycle, nothing but a paid alpha, "stretch goals" are nothing but feature creep stringing along people all the while delivering nothing close to a commercial release because once commecially released theres a whole new set of legalities they have to adhere to.
9 year development paid alpha cycle is comedy gold.
They have actually only worked with a high staff count for like 4 or 5 years if I remember correct. They hired a shit ton of people in the first few years of development. Counting 9 years of development time isn't really fair and it just shows your bias.
But hey, the marketing department has sure earned it's money. If the actual development was even half as good....
I also recall the last Roberts game company spinning its wheels until it ran out of money, with not a single in-house game released.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
With any luck it will release with a neural link, as by then I'll be old enough to really need one.

Not in house... but released and enjoyed by the same people who did enjoyed previous CR's games
All I hear from you is a noise from a PR bullshit.
This game was supposed to show the world that it’s possible to make an AAA game without a publisher - to me, even if it’s released at one point, it’s proven that game companies still needs a publisher to push the envelope when the game creator veers off path.
People claiming that it’s reached 75% of it’s original Kickstarter goals may be correct, but the fact that we are 98 solar systems from 100 - means that it’s highely unlikely we’ll see more than 2 before release
fine. So the free weeks per year to everyone does not exist nor the raising count of new backers and pledges... keep believing naysayers mantra at your leisure, that won't change reality
There are now able to make three months in a matter of month. Do we will get 100 systems jsut after SQ42 release? no as quality matter. IT is expected by CIG to get around 10/15... Knowing one single system allow to have all backers to claim hundreds km of land, not cosunting asteroids ring and planet/moon 1/6th of real size one... quantity of systems is not important. What is important is gameplay. As soon repair and salvage are added like they did for mining, nobody will care about 100 systems
"...SQ42 beta is planned in few quarters."
I believe SQ42 will come out when the main game does.
They use the same engine. So if body dragging, or elevator panels or whatever detail doesn't meet Chris Roberts' standards, it doesn't meet his standards in BOTH games.
Whether you agree or disagree with that approach, Chris Roberts has shown that detail and quality are things he will not compromise to get a faster release.
If you would know what you are talking about, you would know that for 3 years they had a full refund policy. THEN they changed the TOS (Terms of Service). To what is legally required. So for years they had a much better offer ... and then changed it to the normal, legally required one.
What you call feature creep is in most cases CIG working on an already existing stretch goal. But as the naysayers are usually too lazy to check out the list of stretch goals, they are usually "crying foul" whenever they see something that their mostly limited knowledge of Star Citizen is not immediately familiar with.
With respect to the development cycle ... "its ready when its ready" ... has been for a long time the motto of game developers that produced milestones in gaming history. Feel free to play your "Assassins Greed of Battlefield Heroes" 24. I rather put my money in a crowdfunding project like Star Citizen. And wait until its finished, playing and testing the Alpha in the meantime ... while playing a ton of other games too.
Have fun
Do you get paid to do this?
