Out of Pod Experience

It proves that for some reason people trust him enough to throw 43 million dollars at him. Not sure you can tell that about CCP though...

Here, since you mentioned my posting on Star Citizen forum read this post I wrote there

might teach you and CCP a bit of "business strategy":

Might wanna check Dust514 forums, theres probably someone there wanting to watch some trailers and give CCP some money right now

I liked for your reference to my religious remark, I find it funny too

Chris Roberts talks and talks and talks so much about the game, about what they're doing in it?

Talking openly about the game that they're doing for their clients is a good thing. Unlike going around hiding things and throwing some "Sorry I can't talk about this.... I can't talk about that" smokescreens at people, and then screwing them over on the first chance they get.

There is a difference. As of right now chris can say whatever he wants about his game. He has pie in the sky dreams, and many of which may or may not pan out. He has no working product, that's 100% done. He doesn't have hundreds of thousends of people playing his game. He doesn't have people waiting for him to say something is changing so the ingame market can crash, or bubble. He has nothing.

CCP said a lot of what was coming in eve as they developed it. once a game is developed you keep what you are working on on the DL, because it might mess up your game. CCP used to be lose lipped, but then when things did not pan out for various reasons and they had to cut it, this annoyed people.

So until he has a game, he can say whatever he wants. Because until you play it, see in action, and see how this new feature might interact with the old stuff, then you really have nothing to lose. Its only once the game is live, that a lie, or feature that looks great on paper, but blows in the game, bites you in the ass.

oh and before one of you SC shrills brings up that 'duh dog fighting is coming out soon' that is still not the entire game. Its a single piece. And if that one piece works great, you do not know how it will work when everything is combined. CCP's testing alone tells you this. Offtern things work great on the test server, then go live and there is a glaring hole or bug someone finds.

Seems like you're going to hate this, but 4 patches have been released in the last few minutes, the last of which is a 4GB one and contains AI code and map level code, but isn't activated yet.



Here she comes.....

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link//13857-Hangar-Updated

"A new patch for the Hangar module has been released! This is a smaller cleanup patch, which corrects a number of issues with the Hangar’s Oculus Rift support. These updates include true stereo rendering, orientation prediction and keyboard commands to toggle the Rift on and off and to recenter the view. Today’s patch also includes some flare! The Star Citizen UEE Observist towels rewarded to all who backed before reaching $42 million will now appear in your Hangars.

And if you’re a development subscriber, you’ll get your first piece of flare starting tomorrow, May 9! May’s item is an interactive calendar, which shows the current date in the Star Citizen universe and lets you examine some future holidays. Additional calendars will be available to gift to others for $5 each in the Subscriber store. Remember that all flare included as subscriber perks will also be available in-game in the persistent universe. (Anyone who subscribes this weekend will also receive a calendar, attributed Monday.) You can view the complete patch notes here."


Bout time I got that towel hanging in my hangar. Now I got a shred of dignity to wrap around myself after I get out of the shower and won't have to run around naked anymore, or get dazzled by accidently looking at my virtual love device with that new ultra edgy Oculus Rift stereo rendering

I disagree with you.

Chris doesn't say anything superficious about his game. Any of his said deeds were either planned, or decided to go live. It is true that he has a big dream and we are talking about Chris Roberts, not any make-up developer or studio that has failed to do something. Chris Roberts' gaming development past goes well-beyond some people's age here. The thing that concerns you is (I think) the model he choose to develop his game. He broke his chains free from vampire distributor companies and with this dream, he needed to have kickstarter money to fund all of his goals.

He is hiring more and more each day and they're extremely transparent about their development, company, current situation, etc. It is apperant that you're not following wingman hangar, 10 for chairman and the next big starship. With these public announcements in their hand, they are the most transparent gaming development company I've ever seen so far. For one example; Do you know that they are discussing and implementing player-made ships into game? The discussion is live, so it encourages more people to be careful about what their borderlines about ship creation. Every new day, more people come up with more beautiful ships, which are completely navigatable.

The difference comes from the funding model of the game, which creates the illusion of "he doesn't have the product yet" feeling. And yes, he has hundreds of thousands of players *ready* for playing his game, if you know where to look exactly. As for the funding model's nature, you've to pay first to get it developed. And again, we're talking about Chris Roberts. That is why he already has hundreds of thousands backers for this game. If what you're looking for is a proof, that proof is the numbers itself, those hundreds of thousands people can't be wrong, can they? Hundreds of thousands of players. Think that.

Until his game comes up, he doesn't say anything he wants. He makes players choose what they want via poll system. It is apparent that you don't know about this neither. After each future they select for funding goal, they create a poll for players to choose what they want to see implemented in the game next. Players choose features, players create ships, players discuss implementations... Players players players...

This is no comparison for eve, this is just a clarification for no-followers of Chris' game. Disagree with me or not, he is creating a big thing, and I see some eve developers are waiting for him also...

Have a nice day.

What the hell were you smoking when you wrote this ?! In what way do you think the SC universe and Eve universe can interact with each other on any level whatsoever ?
