So they hired Michael Bay to direct Star Citizen?
I hate his movies, but a Michael Bay video game actually sounds pretty cool. Massive explosions, buildings crumbling, it sounds like a fun thing to play around in.
Alas, he is already directing Just Cause 3.
Yet more extravagant spending with our precious backer dollars.
Prety sure it was 24bit Z and 8bit stencil.
They did something similar to this to get more accuracy out of those bits.

kinda funny how their video still shows the motion blur blug I submitted:
motionblur only on his watch... lol
BTW, I am gonna make the separate thread tomorrow for Citizencon. What time should I post it?
The animations are one of the things I was looking forward to the most. :-/
I would say about 10 a.m. Pacific/1 p.m. Eastern. Two hours before the event is supposed to start, three and a half hours before the event will start.

CIG seems to be going out of their way to make them look bad. Release videos @ 30fps with broken motionblur. Clearly the best way to show off highly detailed animations!
For a multiplayer game, they are actually quite good. I suggest people watch a video of call of duty to see what a slow walk and weapon pan in third person looks like. Star Marine is MUCH better looking.
Sounds good, I shall post it then.

They teased star marine for several months but the hype just isn't working for me anymore.

Finally able to get a Freelancer, traded in my Hornet for it. Finally got the ship I want. Now to wait until it's AC ready!
TBH I don't really care that much about it. I'm just curious to try it out, no matter how bad it feels or looks.
I'm not about to get hyped on command, if something is interesting, cool, but otherwise I'll hang on.

Early Cast reveal and a peak into the type of character they play. Possible spoilers if you care about that stuff.
I think Jack Huston was actually leaked a while ago, but it's great hearing it from the man himself. He was in my opinion one of the best characters in Boardwalk Empire, so I'm so glad to see him in Star Citizen.

Until they show me...
1) Vanduul at the end of my scope
2) Customizable avatars
I'm not that interested in the FPS either.
To be honest...walking around the social module and seeing a bunch of ME is pretty meh in general.
Hopefully I can get back on board the hype train tomorrow.

It looked really rough at Gamescom. They should definitely take their time with it.

Hopefully the SQ42 trailer is a gameplay trailer. Should be plenty of Vanduul in that.

Yeah I haven't felt it either, from the beginning. I don't like the way modern shooters are made plus I am just interested in the core part of the game which is spaceships. I get that the work on Star Marine will be used for stuff like ship boarding which is great but I think everything else attached to Star Marine is perhaps not that important (?) to a space game right now, more like something as an expansion.
Yeah, animations look great to me, but the teaser was horrible.

first cast member reveal for SQ42 and he says the game will be released next year.. i thought they planned for the first few chapters of SQ42 to be released in December?

Quite. Have they ever released something on the timeframe of early predictions?

They need to release it when it's done. If that is a year after the projected release window so what?
Wasn't the Division suppose to be out by now? Do people think Ubisoft is making the game worse by letting it bake a little longer?

i just feel that going into the event people should already be notified that SQ42 isn't set to see any form of release this year but instead we have an actor spilling the beans in a youtube video. its completely disappointing and i thought CR touted complete transparency earlier this year? does that only apply to portions of the game that's already delayed?

How could you expect CIG to release SQ42 this year when the FPS and dogfighting mechanics aren't even full developed?
I feel like the only people that remember what CR said about SQ42 releasing at the end of this year are the people that (like us) already know that's not happening, seeing how long(er than expected) it's taking them to release the FPS module. Everyone else should just tune in and enjoy the show and see what they have to say about it.

This. Better for them to get the core gameplay to be good, rather than ship it close to the state it's in.
In terms of FPS, its not the mechanics, its the animations and netcode.
Multicrew is almost working, but yeah december is unrealistic for a full S42, but for vertical slice?
I actually can see vertical slice happening in december or early january.

Pretty sure as long as you have a ship package (not a stand-alone), you should have Squadron 42.

Roster sheet updated to contain the Endeavor (+ modules) and the Sabre as options. Kind of forgot to add the Endeavor in before.
Can't say I wasn't tempted to melt damn near everything for the Armada pack, but I'd lose too many ships that I like more than the Idris. Meanwhile it'd leave me with a Gladiator that I rather dislike design wise. Simpler to just add a Sabre to my fleet, albeit more costly.

"Squadron 42 preorder" is up, which is basically the $45 Aurora package: https://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Packages/Squadron-42-Preorder
It has an interesting bit of text, though:
