Look at the details, and listen to the producer talk about how high the resolution the textures will be (huge).

When competition steps up it's if you don't deliver, the competition will.

This game isn't a competitor to EVE, directly or otherwise.

It's about as much of a threat to EVE as Starcraft II.


This. I am constantly surprised how people see Star Citizen as a competitor to Eve. Sure, it is competition as much as World of Tanks is - any good game that is a decent timesuck can make people play that game rather than Eve - but it isn't really direct competition, it's a quite different type of game and couldn't succeed/replace it.

The question asked was in regards to the high resolution ship textures pack. His answer sounds like a pretty clear no to me.

Oh I see. If "It sounds TO YOU that he said CLEAR NO" then it must be true.


So what does it sound like to you?

Believe me, I'd be very happy to be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. Anyways, I took your implied advice, edited my OP and thread title. Hope this satisfies you.

As Lead game designer he expressed his opinion and reasons why he is currently against uncertain about this feature. On that position he must know the metrics and predict future player usage of this.
Business decisions are made by other people in the company, so your panic thread "All is lost, Soundwave buried HD pack" is meaningless.

I don't see why they can't make it an option. It shouldn't be that big of a problem.


well more than you think, if they change things they will haev to do double work, they kinda learned not to do that from having a classic and modern client

indeed. adding HD graphics isn't something that you simply press a button and voilá!, triple poly count and DX11 effects added!

it doesn't work that way, and I can say that HD pack, while a most welcome feature, it would be deprecated in PVP activities if it even slows down the machine a bit more.

in sum, it would be no more than a gimmick.

Pff! What's this? Logic? Reason? A basis in reality? You FOOOL! We don't want any of your blasphemous sorcery on these boards.

Fair enough. You don't need to be so snotty though. But I guess this is GD and it's the default response!

Why not? Have they anything to lose by making this game more appealing? Oh look, there is a monument asking to be shot...Pirate

CCP has been v3ing stuff like crazy, and it all looks pretty good and is the first stage for custom skins...


and you guys and "HD"? the art dept is always hard at work, it's not like they're sitting around playing Hello Kitty or whatever.

As there is already a long established thread on the subject, and CCP Soundwave's quote was posted there too, this thread is considered redundant and gets a lock.

The rules:

16. Redundant and re-posted threads will be locked.

As a courtesy to other forum users, please search to see if there is a thread already open on the topic you wish to discuss. If so, please place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forums needlessly, causing good feedback and ideas to be lost. Please keep discussions regarding a topic to a single thread.
