Really? You missed out on it? Wow... with such a long EVE Presents keynote and shiny trailer I thought everybody had seen Jesus and heard his holy words about how hes opening Teh Gate. Don't worry you'll get there in 3 years.

Well, excuse me if I don't spend my time playing an old ass game that's gotten more stale than hot beer. I played it for more than 10 min now I'd probably throw up.

Go back to **** some threads up in GD bro, leave this one for people that want to discuss Star Citizen and EVE. Thank you.

Also for these guys with heavy tinfoil covering their heads you should know that CIG in Austin and LA aren't the only studios working to make Star Citizen happen. CR outsourced a big chunk of the work to other companies/studios: Behaviour Interactive, Turbulent, CGBot, Incan Monkey God Studios, Massive Black, Conley Swofford Media, Crytek.

Lets not confuse CCP's executive practices with CR's and CiG's.

Let's talk about reality in Q3 2015.

Pax east was 2 weeks ago....The DFM in question was presented on april 14th.

Roberts has already stated their aiming for the middle of may as a release date....Thanks and have a nice day..

I didn't see much of a multiplayer game with the PAX presentation. Did you?

Good god you don't read posts written just above yours as to why that happened...Seriously?


DFM is also about blowing up ships, and realistic physics and passing out in extreme maneuvers and flying multi crew ships and boarding missions on larger ships, and fitting said ship the way you want( about the only thing in common with eve really).


You know what would be the ultimate insult.....The editor will be provided for anyone what wants to create custom content and we see these really cool videos from CCP, including the latest prophecy video which looks awesome, so how about creating a mod of eve where all the ships in game are flyable in first person view, right up to capital ships and fully modeled inside.


Eve is doing it in with valkerie but only with fighter bombers, not the dozens of other ship types in game.

What features? All he did was to fly around and crash into stuff.

We already get an idea of that on the hangar module if you try the ship customization feature, and load different weapons on the ship, and the same general idea applies to engines, power plants, shields and other mods.


As for combat, that's why they call it the Dog fighting module...You'll get plenty to shoot at once it's out, especially with the 2nd and 3rd parts where the multi crew ships are released and in the 3rd part, you get boarding actions on larger ships like the 240 meter long idris frigate.....I'm guessing those onboard will not be too happy if you try to take over the ship.

Makes me wonder what excuses you'll make when they do show up.....I look forward to that show..

You're still playing EVE even with all the failed promises they made over the years, so double standard much?

So four separate studios that can deliver four different kinds of catastrophe?

While Chris Roberts is completely vindicated of any kind of responsibility toward those that kickstarted and funded Star Citizen. Well, isn't that just lovely?

They're not disparate in that they're all working with the same game engine......

Well he stated it plenty of times that he's aiming for the best space game ever made and that only runs on PC's, and even then they have to be high end ones packing faster graphics cards and more memory and more CPU power than any console has, even the newly released PS4 and Xbox 1 don't have enough for what he has in mind.


So some congratulations are in order for aiming that high at the cost of not selling as many copies as you could, giving consoles the proverbial finger since a lot of players are sick and tired of playing console ports on their PC's, knowing full well they can do far more than what's on offer.


And then we come to a thread like this where all the critics live, and they'll only care once it's released, and don't give a toss if it'll take 3~4 years to make it happen....Chris is really taking a risk technically and to his own reputation for the rest of his life, by trying to pull off something out the ordinary here, using the best and most demanding graphics engine on the market and integrating aspects that have been present in previous games, into a single project and so far he made said people eat their words by raising that much money.


Not only shuts said people up, but also pisses off publishers that are the ones that usually finance projects of this size and length to begin with, which would normally insist he make a version of it that can run on consoles to increase profits for publishers( it's all about the money for them at the end of the day).

It didn't derail anything at all....In fact it had nothing to do with my post and you just went off on that angle, but you know what, here's some examples of multi studio games that were successful and recent releases to boot:


Borderlands 2, which uses the unreal engine and was co developed by both 2K studios and gearbox software.

Call of duty ghosts, which was developed by 3 houses working together....Activision and Never soft and raven software, using the frostbite graphics engine from Dice.

Bottom line, the 21st century just called and was wondering where have you been hiding, if you think that multi house developed games are doomed to fail?
