Yeah, I am curious about that too. Seems like a mod with an agenda but whatever, if you think it is a scam that is fine...you can keep screaming scam as I continue to play the alpha and eventually will play squadron42.A mod thought SQ42 was not worth its own thread? Really? This is wack.
With what has been shown, this thread certain deserves the proper name and not the appropriate sarcasm or the past. I never even post in the Star Citizen threads and I guess you can call my perspective that of some one who hasn't blindly followed the game to one who is excited as of today.A mod thought SQ42 was not worth its own thread? Really? This is wack.
I like it here and find it a place I've come to call home again but I agree.I still can’t believe mods merged the Squadron 42 thread back to this one
Not even that other forum is that dense
There’s legit peoples who never even heard of Squadron 42.
I like it here and find it a place I've come to call home again but I agree.
The current state, as of the last few days, is finally hype worthy and new news deserve new threads free of the scam moniker.
It appears that there is already a separate thread for the 26 minute trailer:
EviLore , is it an official neogaf take? Squadron 42 doesn't deserve its own thread with a 26 mins long trailer and it got squished into the Star citizen, with moniker "scam"? Some peoples will literally skip the thread and miss out on SQ42 news.

Here are 25 minutes of gameplay footage from Squadron 42

It should definitely have been merged with the other separate thread rather than merged into this thread. Can't undo it, but will talk to the mod team about the situation. Sorry about that.uh, didn't see it. The one i did last night at 8ish pm was already 2-3 pages long before it got squished back here.
What money are they laundering?Playing videogames that aren't money-laundering scams.
The 600 some-odd million dollars when they have no intention of actually launching a product. The whole team has been paid handsomely for over a decade to forever chase that 'next big tech upgrade', and so long as the whales keep on simping they can keep the scam going indefinitely. After all this time all anybody has to show for the most funded videogame of all time is a buggy-ass unoptimized shit-show of a tech demo. The moment the funding dries out is when these people piss off into the sunset with whatever funds are left in the coffers. The worst thing CIG can financially do is actually launch a product.What money are they laundering?
Streaming is you only hope i bet. Looking at the latest videos and all i keep thinking when watching is "lol this is going to run at 7fps lol".I doubt this comes to consoles, but I hope they let it be played on GeForce Now. It's been 5 years since I booted Star Citizen up and it did not run well on my PC at the time. I'm running a laptop now so if rather do GeForce Now or console
Wow, you nailed it. I am sure the 1110 people working at CIG, all the engineers and artists incl. people like Marco Corbetta, who was lead programmer at Crytek on Far Cry and Crysis, are all happily and voluntarily working on a scam, like the true scam artists they are.These people aren't developing a videogame, they're servicing a funding pipeline for gullible people with more money than common sense.

No wait, that's actually BS and you are full of shit.
I propose a peace treaty to all the non believers at NeoGAF.
This game is undeniable now.

Edit - It's the exact same business model as mobile gaming, and I think that's a scam as well.
Yeah pop-in is only really distracting thing for me. They are working on mesh shaders and ray tracing.Looks good but not amazing, mainly due to the disappointing amounts of pop in during the demo, a clear limitation of using an old engine that lacks modern features such as Nanite or mesh shaders that help smooth out LOD transitions.

During day 1 of CitizenCon, there was a presentation about transitioning their compute workloads from the CPU to the GPU. They believe this shift could significantly reduce, if not entirely eliminate, the pop-up/in issues. I surmise that both the SC and SQ42 trailers were demonstrated using an older version of the engine/renderer.Looks good but not amazing, mainly due to the disappointing amounts of pop in during the demo, a clear limitation of using an old engine that lacks modern features such as Nanite or mesh shaders that help smooth out LOD transitions.

“Understanding is a three edged sword: your side, their side, and the truth.”
Looks like just a different/better way of rendering darker skin tones kind of like a subsurface scattering. I'm not sure why anyone would be outraged by this?
what the fuck does this even mean? How deep in the rabbit hole is this community?
You can keep your peace treaty, we'll all be resting in peace in the cemetary when this game ships.
a bit far-fetched butany reason to post a Peter Tosh song is good
I don't think you have a firm grasp of what "Money Laundering" is. Also, they're not paid "Handsomely." A lot of them are market or under market rate. Because the company is technically a UK company, all of their financials are public EVERY year which you can see. Their spending and earnings.The 600 some-odd million dollars when they have no intention of actually launching a product.

There is none yet,not an actual one,only a playable tech demo but based on some of the responses here when the time comes that we'll actually play this game we'll be blown away....aaaaaaany day now.....So where's the actual game in all of this?
When even a brainlet like Asmongold has a more reasonable take than the haters
a brainlet like Asmongold

edit: this thread is great for me to add more idiots to my ignore list lol
This game could come out and land 10/10s everywhere yet this forum will still change every Star Citizen thread title to "Scam citizen." Glad to see it's finally at a point through where they can put out great videos like this one where more of the public can see the breakthroughs they're making with the backend tech. For me, I'd say the chase may be more exciting than the catch when it finally releases. Hopefully they continue to push the engine forward for the next chapters with the foundation mostly in placeIt'll never make sense to me how people can see all this breakthrough gaming tech and still be like "I gave them $40, I wish I just got to play a shittier version of this 5 years ago". Must have been nearly impossible that acquire that $40 to have such a take. Star Citizen is so exciting to follow. The only title I know of that gives a peak into true "next gen".

It's always just him but he's often being sarcastic and jokes around even if it sounds like he's being serious. He doesn't make it very obvious, though, and that's part of the schtick. But other than that he's one of the most level-headed guys among all of those YouTube personalities so be glad that he was impressed by this video.Well, his persona at the very least is not the sharpest tool in the shed, thus the brainlet comment. I think off camera he's probably something else. That's the thing with youtubers, the clicks come with a certain "playing" dumb most of the time.
Poor peoplelmao half of things shown 11 years later still not in game

The attic goblin's whole impression
I was shocked to see at their presentation that they're ditching the probe light system (cube map lighting)) for ray tracing. Even the software solution, while simplified, will be a form of ray tracing, much like software Lumen. The hardware accelerated RTGI though with this game, I mean fucking hell, that's some big balls on the R&D team.
