Was going to download it but it's around 31 gb and fuck having to download that again when the actual patch launches. They really need to fix that system already

An ass screen sounds very interesting. Looking forward to seeing how it handles email.

We've come a long way since Commander Keen.

I don't know, judging from this, PBR still has quite a ways to go.

Yup, we still haven't reached Babylon 5 CGI levels.

Apparently Todd Papy (director of God of War: Ascension) is now a design director at Foundry 42

Nice. The Avenger and Aurora are so small, and those big ships are basically a level from some smaller games lol.

This looks really cool.

Yeah that's so some cool ship damage there.

 

[Objectively Bad Opinion]

They stopped with stretch goals, but every few millions they generally talk were they want to expand or what are they doing with money, like recently they opened studio in Frankfurt focused on rendering technology and CryEngine enhancements.

Wait, wait. This happened? Can I get a link to some details, this is a little tough to google.

Interesting, because it feels as if Crytek has been slacking lately.

 

[Dictator93]

That detail is just fantastic. Right?

Lets hope that along with having awesome per pixel damage and stuff that also tons of debris flies off like it currently does!

Edit: where did you get that screen from?

Edit: I, too, hope we get some awesome debris on top of that awesome damage stuff, would be nice if they could apply this tech to some stuff in the FPS module.

I'm not getting the automatic 1.1 update, it's stuck at 1.02. is there some kind of requirement to access the PTU?

Seems like I'm stuck on 1.03 myself, but same problem, patcher doesn't wanna know there is an update.

 

[Teknopathetic]

You need to jump through some hoops to enable PTU on your account. Instructions are somewhere on the RSI forums.

No Frankfurt studio in monthly report was slightly disappointing

Chris talked about it few times in 10 for the Chairman videos, like the last one where he talks that most of the engineers in Frankfurt studio are previous Crytek employees, and in some of the news, but dont remember which.

[Dictator93]

Fantastic interview with chris

The frankfurt studio will be growing to 40 (currently 17). All made of cry-engineers.

 

[Zabojnik]

In the end, there will be only CIG.

 

[Daedardus]

In the end, there will be only CIG.

Star Citizen will be the only game there is, with dissimilar games playable through gaming consoles within the game.

Even though there is no official stream this evening...
BadnewsBaron has set up a private stream of the PAX event!

Have they said anything about modding after the campaign ended? If I recall correctly it was one of the stretch goals.

modding was a very early stretch goal.

modding was a very early stretch goal.

Indeed, but have they said anything about it since? Considering all the crazy tech stuff they're doing this game having robust mod tools would be amazing.

 

[MrBig]

It is cryengine based, so of course there will be plenty of robust tools, but the particularities of it all would depend on the details of the engine licensing.

Watching it right now. The gimbal changes sound great.

Also, Electronic Access (Read EA) was bought out by Original Systems (Read Origin) in the SC universe.

Patented CIG technical difficulties. Even when it's not being streamed by them.

Are they trying to get the sound working or what's the problem?

I said got damn! Foundry 42 can do no wrong

 

[Dictator93]

I think there should be a new thread then, but that is more mod discretion.

This is looking absolutely fantastic btw, that level is HUGE!

I said got damn! Foundry 42 can do no wrong

That studio can do no wrong when it comes to fidelity.

 

[mercenar1e]

what are they showing off now? looks great.

 

[Dictator93]

Zero G is 16 v 16. Holy hell!!!

 

[Shy]

the FPS mode, it looks fucking dope.

we should repurpose this thread to a community thread, and when squadron 42 comes out it, can have it's own thread.

That's a lot of dead bodies floating about lol.

I think so, but we should wait until it's released, or at least available in PTU so OP can be full of relevant information.

Also, FPS module live demo happening now!

The coolest section of that Scale Issues slide for is the bit on the far right. A section of two ships titled Alien.

Does this mean that this game will have some alien encounters? If yes, sign me up. My problem with EVE Online always was that the game had almost no high concept alien designs or items. I know it had some, but I did not consider those alien at all.

 

[Geist-]

Wow, completely based on Ender's Game. First team through the gate and everything.


Which is completely fucking awesome. Can't wait to try it.

The entire single player campaign takes place in the military, where the entire premise is fighting aliens.
