What would the game be, the updated Wing Commander or Privateer? Or a space shooter in that vein but also a sim and FPS? Or all that and survival sim? Or is it a space sim that is so mindblowing not even VR can contain it? Even as a what if, shekel yidizen still drags the feature creep along.
If Robert's (peace be upon his his scamming) history pans out, a publisher might buy it and do triage on the trainwreck, either salvaging what they can and maybe release it as a P2W F2P space shooter with season pass and shit.

There's no game at all and there never will be as the actual 'game' is selling jpegs. You guys don't realize how gamified that actually is as it's usually only talked about by the whales. There's ship melting, war bonds, buyback tokens, cross chassis upgrades, LTI, concept sales, etc.. A whole pile of systems around buying, selling, and trading jpegs that is far more detailed than anything in the game itself. The average 'backer' is in it for nearly $100 because so many end up on this ride.

He sees the immense amount of money that has been put into this game and thinks it's going to be the next EVE where the game and reality are so closely linked that money from prostitution goes into funding EVE ships. He's trying to be one of the elites of this new emerging technology, and the fact that he even has 30k to spend on 'virtual goods' also indicates that his business risk taking has paid off.
That being said, the fact that you can even spend 30k on video game space ships also seems to not only be a way to sipher large amounts of cash from the player base, but also seems to have a dual purpose of also creating headlines. 'Man spends 30,000$ in STAR CITIZEN'.

The tech demo does look interesting, but it's still just a tech demo. It's at what, Alpha 3.0 right now? Almost?
Six years and it's still in alpha, and more than half of its features aren't even at first-pass yet, and nearly half of their ships are still in concept or first-pass - and they keep adding more for some reason.
If I were seeing this video in 2013 rather than 2017, I'd probably be feeling some kind of hype welling up within me. But for fucks sake, they're falling into the Duke Nukem Forever trap - taking so long to develop that technology outpaces their "revolutionary" game - so they take the extra time to rebuild shit to the newer high-end limits - and in the time it takes them to do that the tech outpaces them again and so on.
Chris Roberts is chasing the dragon of his dream right into a black hole. It's just not clear anymore whether the dragon is his vision for Star Citizen, or $$$. I'd love to not be cynical about this, but this is the Berenstain Universe, and Cynicism is a fundamental physical force here.
I'll admit, though, when I see shit like what I've embedded here, I can understand why some people just abandon all reason and surrender themselves to blind hope. It's very easy to get absorbed in the world they've created with their animated short films, and I do wish that world were real. I wish I could just transport myself into a future sci-fi universe where all of the space adventures I've ever dreamed of having could actually happen.
I'm too old and cynical now to allow myself to fall into that trap, but there's a fuckload of people who don't have that filter inside them, constantly reminding them that "nothing good will ever happen." These people are throwing all of their money into a fire just because they refuse to realize that "wish" and "will be" are always mutually exclusive.
But man, if there actually was some kind of deep-dive fully immersive VR universe you could just jack into and live another life like that, even with all my big tough-guy talk I'd probably immediately lose myself to it and just starve to death at my rig or something.
It's a very potent form of digital crack that CR is peddling. Gotta give him notoriety props for that, at least.

It's random. Some people make money, some lose it. RSI does increase prices on some jpegs occasionally to manipulate people into believing they need to get in early like every scam does. It also keeps them hopeful their 'investment' will pan out, so they don't ask for a refund until it's too late.

You've clearly never experienced the pain of knockoff legos.
I bought a Mega Bloks set once. ONCE. It was a Halo Warthog, and while the pieces seem identical to Lego at first, problems reveal themselves in the build process. Some parts were misshapen ever-so-slightly, so they fit together individually, but the whole model WOULD NOT STAY TOGETHER. Something had a slight curve to it, or the peg was too big for the hole, I could never find the problem piece. Maybe it was all of them, and their sets have a limit before the problems compound to a critical point. But I had to hold the finished product with an iron grip or the pieces would force themselves apart. I finally got it to sit on my desk and it quivered, waiting for an errant touch or a slight breeze to make it explode into several smaller pieces. It collapsed again without provocation that night.
In addition to the structural failure that can't be pinpointed to any particular brick, they just look like shit too. Mega Bloks have these swirly patterns in them like the color wasn't even mixed into the plastic long enough. I don't want to know how fucking bad some random chinese knockoff can get, if Lego's #1 competitor is this awful.
Lego has cited their stringent quality standards and perfect materials as the reasoning behind their high prices before, and ever since that Warthog, I believe them.

But yeah, I agree that it's extremely pander-ish and also extremely obvious marketing advertisement.

That used to be a good and more than fair reason for their higher prices but nowadays it's mostly licensing. Lego patents has expired, it's now mostly licensing fees for shit like SWars that drives up a lot of the prices.

Lego doesn't produce shit in china like everyone else though (until JUST recently and it's one factory out six). The quality standards I'm talking about are retiring the molds after a specific number of uses (to resist deforming from heat over long periods of time), having inspectors constantly checking for bad pieces, and making sure the plastic mix that goes into the molds is ideal. China doesn't do any of these things unless a team of foreign representatives is constantly on site making sure they do. And knockoffs (even western) aren't paying anybody for the Lego-tier quality control because they want to hit a lower price point and can't afford it.
>That used to be a good and more than fair reason for their higher prices
I've bought them recently and they're still high quality. Unless you're saying the cost of maintaining that quality has come down, which I'm not sure how that could be possible because the cost of QC is peoples' salaries.
>>13731122
Mega Bloks, like I said, is the #1 Lego competitor at least in the USA. They have the most selection and it's basically the only knockoff name you even see in stores. There's a couple others that I barely even know exist and occupy almost zero shelf space in relevant stores.

No, I'm saying the cost of paying those licenses such as SWars is adding to the cost of an already not cheap prices for the QA lego uses. As their patent expired they faced a challenge against other companies. Sad to say that quality of the bricks alone will not help them in an era where more kids are swayed building a pre-designed set instead of making something from their own imagination. When I was a kid I had more fun making my own stories with legos and resetting and building something new again, now it's increasingly "build this officially approved SWar or other popular franchise brand with Lego!".

Have you seen their recent stuff? There's still not-licensed Lego that's good. City is eternal, and always great vehicle and structure sets. They have a jungle explorer line that's fucking great right now and reminds me of that Indiana Jones ripoff they had back in the early 00's. Ninjago might not be everyone's cup of tea, but at least it's original and there's a cool huge mecha set. Plus they have Creator ones where you can build 3 different things with the same set of bricks and they're mostly generic pieces with infinite uses, instead of those fucking purpose-built cockpit windows and stuff that come with Star Wars.
I'm just saying, I know how to spend money. I'll buy the knockoff if it's comparable quality, I got all my HDMI cables from some chink on amazon for $2 a pop. Lego is one of the things I will not budge because they are ACTUALLY higher quality than their competitors and it gives tangible results.

That's how those pretentious and lofty tech press conference speeches are supposed to be, though. Pretty by book.
1. Dangle something shiny and simple in front of the viewer (look at this star)
2. Lofty monologue about how civilization's greatness is due to the little guy to flatter the main demographic (the Zeus)
3. Mention smart science people that everybody recognizes so you sound credible and the audience feels smart (albert einstein bit)
4. Misdirect into product reveal with swelling music
Nothing about it was surprising or particularly bad. It was pretty much like any old Steve Jobs or Elon Musk press speech, just with the polish ratcheted up a few notches.
Nothing about it is meant to inform the audience or tell them anything they don't already know. The point is to convince the audience that they've always known and always wanted what you're about to announce.

It looks like what NMS should have been but it's still empty, there's no game and *any* reliance on procedural generation creates the very definition of 'filler material' as we saw with NMS, it's shit you speed past because it's boring nothingness. I'd much rather have one curated city over a billion procedurally generated worlds. Especially if there's a 6+ grand pricetag to get anything somewhat unique.
The idea and scope is impressive but they can only fail to fill something that's as big as that claims it could be. They'd need a legion of (good) sci-fi and quest writers all playing together churning out shit, even then you can't fill a galaxy with enough stories for it to feel as overwhelming as it should if it were done correctly. My money is on infinite random refreshing quests Fallout 4 style.
I'm really glad I'm not on the hook for buying any shit for this because I'd be kind of forced to play along and go:
>'L-looking great guys, rite?'
Even if it releases I can only see disappointment in their futures, it's not gonna be as good as they thought when they ponied up their moolah. The cash grabbing prices are fucking terrifying and worse they somehow hit upon those numbers because multiple someones were actually willing to pay them, madness. It's as if they've missed every instance in the past where EVERY SINGLE hyped-the-fuck-up game has fallen painfully short of expectations.

The marketing behind Star Citizen was brilliant, really, and that's what the game is, marketing. They went to reddit, and went
>hey Reddit I hear you really like Firefly
>we're going to make a game that's basically Firefly MMO!
>we just need money!
and the neckbeards and retards threw money at them.
Ask a die hard SC fan what they think of the show Firefly, they'll almost always tell you it's amazing. It worked well because Firefly became huge after it was canceled, and Star Citizen rode the wave of people wanting a big sci fi world where you wander the stars with a crew of friends to millions and millions of dollars.
The game will never release, yet he'll keep asking for money. Why would he release the game? It's more profitable to keep stringing everyone along and getting them to send you money. Specially because SC fanboys are so thirsty for a space game where you just fly around aimlessly with your friends and they have no alternative.
Realistically SC has such a grip on that market, someone could release a legitimate clone of SC and none of the SC people would touch it. It is marketing genius and it's never going to end and become a final product, because lying to people and telling them to give you money for this game will make far more money than a released game will.

"Show, don't tell." I get it.
But he's giving a speech - basically verbal writing. Everything he says is just exposition.
If, instead of a man giving a keynote speech at a press conference, the video was about the actual events he's describing, then a narrator just spouting words about it would be pretty lackluster and out of place.
But that's not the framing of the video. It's a video about a guy standing still delivering a rehearsed speech. It's exposition from beginning to end, and it really can't be much else unless he brings a theater troupe onto the stage to deliver his speech through interpretive dance or some shit.

SC actually has reached a point where it has a very long-term upper hand in graphics. As everyone has noticed, games nowadays barely look any better than 5 or even 10 years ago, and this is of course partly because tech doesn't have that far to go anymore, but also because most games hit a "reasonable modeling budget" limit, the developers just can't afford to spend tens of millions on making super-detailed models that completely utilize the engine and modern GPUs. On the other hand, SC can and consistently does. Most likely nobody else is going to come around in the next ten years making a game with this level of model quality on a vaguely similar scale, because indies can't afford it and AAA studios rather spend the money on advertising.

That's one of the problems, the other is that Roberts has no fucking idea what he's doing and is developing three games simultaneously despite a proven track record of being a horrible project lead. This "game" is already dead, and whatever shape it ends up coming out as, I guarantee you that it will be nothing even remotely close to what was promised. In a few years they'll being cutting features en mass, eventually sell out to a publisher that will cobble together whatever they have produced through mismanagement over the years and call it a day.

So fucking much vitriolic chatter and a mealy-mouthed conclusion to boot, his timorous titter is infuriating.
Don't get me wrong I get being into sci-fi shit but there should at least be a product or story, or something to wed this brain meltingly boring/obsessive personality trait too, trying to pair it with nothing but FAQs and online brochures and .jpegs is gonna make school shooters out of these backers, or workplace shooters given how long it's gonna take them to emerge from this cloud of empty guff and realise what they've been doing for 6 YEARS holy shit, people are gonna die yo.
I can't imagine having to listen to this shit IRL, I'd fucking punch him so hard for being being so dumb and yet such a nerd.

>Chris Roberts: The term beta in terms of Star Citizen - with 3.0 the game is moving into a phase akin to Early Access. It'll build and grow from there, and then you could say 'well, it's not really Early Access anymore'. The price will probably go up a little bit and it will have much more of the features and content going on.
So he's saying the MVP (hahaha) constitutes the game so niggers can't get refunds on their never ever ships for their never ever ever game, in a desperate scramble to prevent the rats from gnawing their way out of the sinking ship. They must have pissed every penny of even their fake money up the wall by now, shit's gonna crash.

Let me let you in on a little secret about bitches. You probably let yourself get intimidated by them because you're sure they're so perfect, meanwile you obsess over your every flaw, amirite?
The secret is, pretty much all bitches are burning dumpster fires. Even the hot ones, pic related, their bodies aren't as great as you think without all the makeup and other adornment. Not to mention, getting with a woman means assuming an obligation, having to deal with her neediness, her craziness, her filthy personal habits that you only learn about once she's comfortable around you.
My first time getting laid I tripped into some pussy. A friend from work was a weekly club guy so I ended up going out with him like every saturday. In the club one day, this guy tells him she thinks i'm cute, we exchange numbers, couple days later we bang. Just put yourself out there.
tl;dr– take them off the pedestal, and stick your dick in one.

Said toaster is a usually some console that never changes the specs. Before the financial crisis, people could afford new computers with everything and a useless plastic cube. Nowadays they can't. Technical limits also still stands, because if your game only looks and runs good on a super computer, it'll end up some obscure rarity only only 40 year old blokes and spoiled brats have played like pic related. No affordable Amiga at the time could run it. Ultima IX and Unreal were similar case. At the time of their release it wasn't that much of a problem, because Computers were advancing at a tremendous pace so that people could afford the necessary tech half a year later. Nowadays Computers neither advance quickly (Some parts of them are have stopped at the brink of their hard physical limits like Processors which can't get micronized any further as fast it used to be and can't take stronger electrical currents due to heat development) nor can people afford them like it is the 90s and the economy hasn't crashed under the sheer weight of a 1000 Ponzi schemes.

oh, forgot to mention this:
You're wrong. Your scope of what women are is limited to the type that go to clubs. There are a lot of good women out there - pious ones that know how to do housework and take care of children. There are plenty of women who dress modestly and still carry the elegance of old. Try going somewhere other than a club to look for women. I admit, you're at a disadvantage having not already found a woman to call a wife before the age of 18. The best loves are the ones that sprout at a young age, hence why the 'childhood friend to lover' trope is so often used in anime/manga/etc.
Also, I really don't appreciate you going around and telling vulnerable anons this shit. You're a part of the problem with society these days. You claim to be above normalcy and modernity, yet you take part in and encourage it by going to clubs and having premarital sex. You're not above normalcy, you're just normal.

My advice was only to help anon get laid. Reaching wizard status before your first sexual encounter isn't healthy. Yeah, it'd be nice if society were set up the way it was when Christ was alive, marriages were prearranged and you didn't have to worry about hooking up. But that's not the world we live in, unless you're like mormon or something.
The things I said encapsulate all women, not just club chicks. They're all needy, they're all crazy, and yea they all have gross personal habits, we all do. (Find me a woman who doesn't burp or fart, I challenge you.) Hell, grossness is biologically programmed into the female species. I'm not trying to denigrate them by pointing out their flaws, just pointing out that you should realize they're not perfect either so don't get in your own head about your flaws. I shared my personal experience just to point out it's not as hard as anon may think it is. Make yourself available, and stop assuming girls are so perfect. Ask one out. If she says no, fuck it, ask the next one.
Ehh, but anyway, yeah, video games.

Yeah you stupid fucking asshole but that doesn't mean that you have to artificially norm the fuck out of all the different version to achieve some sort of egalitarian platform parity, you absolute cunt sucking fuck chode.
You can make a fucking 2007 Crysis level grafix game for PC, allow it scale down massively through settings so that it can also run on toasters and then fine tune each console version so that it fits somewhere in between, exactly according to the strengths, weakness and kinks of each console.
That's the right way to do it, chucklefuck. But devs don't like it because it's a little bit of extra work and they think thy have to jerk off consolefags and make them believe that their little shitbox is almost as powerful as a PC by making sure the PC version doesn't stand out nearly as much as it could.

The teaser trailer for it was just something to entice investors and to gauge if people would like a Cyberpunk game. Remember, the PnP has been dead for almost a decade before they got their hands on the IP.
