Those face animations look kind of bad.

but here lookes better!?

 

[TheChickenKing]

None of those facial animations look that great. I'm not entirely sure why, but something about their eyes just looks... off. It'd take someone with knowledge of how faces and animations work and all that crap to make a more detailed observation than "I don't like it boooooooo" but that's my opinion, anyway.

I think Roberts' tranny wife is well versed in facials.

Star Citizen is now selling tanks to defend the land you can purchase.

The concept art isn't even that great for these tanks. They look like something from the 20th century, being even designed worse from a tactical standpoint with all the shot traps. Definitely not something I'd expect to see in an advanced era of technology; they look so out of place compared to the ships. Also, all the JPEGs are the same for the sales.

Who am I kidding? These tanks won't ever actually see the light of day in game, especially considering they still haven't even finished all the space ship concepts they've already sold. Much less actually balanced anything.

I just can't take CIG seriously when they keep adding features through sales rather than focusing on actually delivering a semi-playable product. While I don't play Elite: Dangerous because I don't really find it fun (I don't think I'd find SC fun, either, simply because space sims are kinda boring to me), I at least have respect for them delivering a great base game and adding additional features through DLC/xpacs as they go. Considering SC and ED were pretty much starting development at the same time, I've gotta say that ED takes the cake, since it's an actual playable game.

And no, SC's alpha is not a playable game by any acceptable terms. Its a bug ridden, content void mess that is still slightly more than a glorified tech demo. It reminds me of the old games that use to come with GPUs back in the late 90s; they weren't really "games", as much as they were to show off the things the GPU could do.

Up next John Deere vehicles to landscape your front and back lawn.

They're better than most video game tanks, like the Halo tank.

One thing they do highlight is how low real tanks are, which alongside a few other things make practical tanks nothing like what most people would expect of a cool looking tank. Those bring to a mind a futuristic Sherman.

It doen't really bother me. It's like modern warships. I don't care how much more deadly and capable they may be, they don't look like what a warship should, like a good old fashion WWII or earlier gunship fits as.

Based on the new sq42 website this is the minimum requirement for sq42, likely for SC too.

Windows 7 (64bit) with Service Pack 1, Windows 8 (64bit), Windows 10 - Anniversary Update (64bit)
DirectX 11 Graphics Card with 2GB RAM (4GB strongly recommended)
Quad Core CPU
16GB+ RAM
SSD strongly recommended


16gb ram :D

Squadron 42 for the single player and dual universe for the multiplayer


screw star citizen !

This honestly wouldn't surprise me at all. In fact, I kind of unironically expect it.

Pretty low requirements. You will probably have a difficult time to downgrade your hardware enough to play the game when it's released.

Furthermore, I would expect the Star Shitizen cult to eat it up entirely.

"Well, planets will have resources to fight over, cause that was a stretch goal, and you'll need tractors to plow the crops you'll be using the tanks to protect from the space ships that you make in the starbases you can build with the resources you get from the tractors you make in the factories you build from planetary mining you must do in the mining ships you purchase ..."

Oh and also ...

"You don't have to purchase them. They'll be free in-game when it comes out, don't be jealous because you haven't gone $30,000 in debt like everyone else who plays the game. Its just a donation to support the game's development, its not actually a purchase of items of goods."

SC's development smacks of the children's song that starts with the tree and the hole in the ground. You can literally go on and on forever, until someone has the sense to say "that's enough".

 

[Grotesque]

CR said two years ago that the game will have tanks.
Ahem.

it seems they're still working on subsumption.

George Oldziey own remix, let's hope SQ42 will be of same quality music

16gb ram :D

Why are people shocked about 16 GB of ram ?

Bigger thing is SSD being required as "minimum". I am assuming that SQ42 will be something like 150-200GB so you will need to buy SSD for one game alone and nature of game will be that everything will be streamed so with normal HDD you will stutter constantly as they want 4k assets for everything.

From very start RSI wanted next Crysis impact in therms of graphics and it was main reason why they started project as PC game rather than console game.

Patch 3.0 now open to all backers

I managed to get it installed before work but it crashes on launch Hopefully will be able to get it running this evening and post impressions

So the planets have gravity and space debris gets pulled down to the planet ?

[TheChickenKing]

Beyond all of the (most likely crippling) technical problems, I would be curious to hear if 3.0 has any value as an actual video game. If memory serves, I own the game courtesy of a graphics card promotional deal so I'm at least marginally curious if 3.0 isn't total garbage.

 

[AN4RCHID]

Wew lads. I guess this puts to rest the engine question - this is obviously a hacked together demo in the exact same 3.0 branch of lumberyard as the PTU. Environments look fantastic, but id wager that AI and mission scripting was about as faked as can be. I give it another 5 years.
