Christ. The Hangar Module was released on August 29, 2013.
He's the only brickwall in this room.
He thinks it's OK that it took them longer to setup and get ready to even start on development after the initial release date even passed...
But don't worry....its only been delayed years with nothing substantial to show, everything will be just fine
Hey now....GTFO of here with your nonsensical facts
We all know that the REAL development started after the Hangar Module was released
So the hangar module has been out a little over 2 years, and people are trying to pretend development didn't start till 18 months ago? lol... what? When people have been asking "where is the game" we get told to look at this pile of incomplete and disjointed modules as development progress, but now those modules don't count? Or did the hangar module need no development time, and just sprung into existence after being released from the loins of CR himself?
Being a fan and desperately wanting to see it succeed, I get that. But this nonsense about ignoring glaringly obvious events in the timeline since it was announced and pretending things didn't happen... if you guys are so dedicated to the game how do you forget these things? Yes folks, it really is October 2015 right now. Ya'll must have been in a coma for a year or something and haven't realized what the date is yet.

From my last bench to this, they seem to have a 30fps lock, which took some time to kick in in 2560p.
All settings on Max.
There has definately been some work on the engine, that why I had to redownload 30Gb of files. again. But I only check every few months, not every few days.

At this point, if the project does crash and burn (I'm not saying it will, and personally I would like it not to) I can already imagine Roberts' apologetic letter to the "community" in which he would claim that, despite the best efforts of Roberts and his team, it's not their fault at all and the project was undermined by the destructive and self-serving influence of Smart and his imaginary cohorts.
Remember when Brad McQuaid, a much-lauded superstar of 90s video gaming, suddenly reappeared with his own company, "an all-star team of MMOG developers and focusing on making one ground-breaking, unprecedented project"? They promised all sorts of exciting features and old-school mechanics that players had been gagging for. They chose to build it on a popular FPS-centric engine which they had to modify heavily and struggled to make fit for purpose, resulting in numerous delays. Anonymous sources were critical of McQuaid's leadership skills and the management of the project, claiming they "refused to listen to anyone on how to fix what was broken ... they were so pig-headed and arrogant that they believed we were all wrong and they were right." (oh look, an Escapist article).
The game was eventually released, was absolutely (and correctly) mauled by critics. McQuaid's company almost immediately sold it to Sony and went out of business. And don't look for the game, it was finally put out of its misery last year.
Those who don't learn from history, as they say.

I followed its development religiously for a year or two and then ended up never playing the game.

New video from RSI detailing when they starting working on things, number of staff, number of backers, etc.
Full production did not start until Feb 2013.
It's not even been 3 years yet, most AAA games take FIVE years or so (Fallout, Witcher, GTA, etc) and peopel are bitching already.
I can understand why many studios (like BEthseda) choose to just shut the fuck up and not talk about their games until they are nearly done, too many people get their panties in at wist over stupid shit.

Derek Smart is an idiot and is all shades of jelly over someone whose failures top his greatest "success".
oops, forgot to link the video:

The models and other geometry is way more detailed than any game from 2004, but I agree that the Alpha 2.0 demo lacks a visual wow factor. It needs more shaders and/or more interesting and higher resolution textures.
Claiming full production didn't start till Feb 2013(which was still longer than 18 months ago), doesn't change that production had already actually started prior to that. CR stating the start of full production being about 2 and a half years ago, still means that Deathroned was way off(and he supposedly follows development if the game?).
Ignorant lying trolls .
I know this post will do little dissuade the negative incorrect and outright trollish opinions that keep popping up.
but the citizen con video shows that all the accusation are nothing but lies. Revealing the naysayers for what they are , nothing but haters who want something to hate on because they are so low they only have one thing in life to do , and that is to bash on a project that is still in the works (not even giving it a chance to succeed or fail)
the citizencon video provides the facts necessary to demonstrate that all the accusation are out right false. any opinions to the contrary are out right deflections or sorry attempts to save face.
already seeing people starting to criticize the graphics ..
no matter (thats just more deflection now in the face of citizencon video)
the game is being made so is squadron 42 they have game assets they have the game mechanics they have story line and they have 250+ developers working on the game .
looking at the quality of the assets and the detail being delivered you can tell this is a demanding project. A ton of progress has been made to bring us 2 AAA games in less than 3 years .(even with the total bull crap lies of 4 years and 5 years their is 2 AAA games in that time frame )
so shut the mutha frak up and take those losers attitudes back to those lil caves because believe it or not there will be a star citizen and a squadron 42 game and from the looks of it it is quite possible it may achieve all the goals it set out from the very start.
if your still want to be negative on star citizen your going to have to find something else to hate on because all the lies have been busted and the only thing to complain about now is unsubstantiated bull crap because the game aint done. let the team work save your criticism, for release where the game can be fairly judged.

stop deflecting the game is real nuff said .
you want to fuss about facts wait till it comes out all the previous arguments are utter trash now.
Really? Which accusations did it prove false? Did it prove how much money CIG currently has? Did it prove that they have enough money to finish the game?
I don't see how it really proved anything.
You seem unstable and irrational.
i dont think there is any malice but Chris Roberts doesnt have a great track record and is almost every project he has worked on has gone over over budget and missed deadlines...
until i see game play im going to say they need to show everyone the books
until i see game play im going to say they need to show everyone the books
If the test-show TODAY of the full-deal around the planet Crusader, including EVA, station battle with 4v4 and theft of the ship that they came in didn't prove it for you...
if the list of high profile voice actors willing to tack their name on it didn't prove it for you...
If all the behind the scenes videos including the mo-cap and tech show didn't prove it for you...
If the new ships today didn't prove it for you...
IF THE PORTION OF THE IN-GAME INTRO TO SQUADRON 42 DIDN'T PROVE IT FOR YOU...
All shown new today at Citizencon, easy to find on Youtube...
If none of this makes you think the game is on-track and the money is being spent reasonably...
What else can be said?
Can any gamer really watch today's stream and not be at least as excited as the first time they saw Battlefield 1942 being played? Or if you are an MMO gamer the first time you saw Everquest or WoW?

the only unstable and irrational people are those requesting to see the books , and those who continue to attempt to reinforce lies.
obviously they have enough money to keep producing the game with the equipment and required professionals.
there is no truth to the lack of funds argument.
then CIG needs to prove it show the books
I didn't say keep producing. I said finish.
They have a new Referral program, bring someone into the fold and win a prize. The more people you snare the bring the bigger the prize, sell, sell, sell, just like Amway.
And to celebrate their 3 year anniversary they released an 8 pack of ships for $2500, the whales be taking the bait.
And they all come with LTI.
Well damn, sounds like the fundraiser event kicked things into overdrive!
The game chugged, I saw lots of rubber banding, and the FPS combat looked like a generic Sci-Fi shooter from 2008. I also still haven't seen a third person perspective of a player moving in a multi-crew ship that is in motion.
I will have to watch that stuff and see. I'll be pleasantly surprised if this game looks remotely put together at this point. I had high hopes for this game and I still hope it comes and and is even 60-75% of what was originally promised. I'd be a very happy gamer.

If anything, the never ending stream of LTI ships is likely going to be the largest risk factor damaging the game by "pay to win" players. LTI was initially planned as a special bonus for very early backers, however it keeps getting dragged out as a sales too going into the third year. It will be very frustrating for some players in the final game to pay to replace expensive hulls while other players get a never end supply of replacement hulls.
Having said that, I talked myself into pledging if the new Sabre was under $100. And it's $170, boo

LOL. Really? This is what the mindless, rabid "fans" are drooling over? REALLY?
I haven't followed this game at all, but if this is the end result I really question on what they've been spending their money.
Terrible framerate - check.
Animations subpar - check.
Voice acting terrible - check.
Textures awful - check.
Hmm...

Dat potato frame rate... They should have turned down some effects so it was smooth
I agree you shouldn't have been attacked for that. You should've been laughed at.

I don't think anyone will be paying to replace expensive hulls, unless they're morons. CIG has consistently said that LTI won't be a big deal (i.e. having to pay for your insurance won't be a big deal). Probably something like run one or two generic missions and your insurance is paid for a month.
Same here. But at the moment I'd only guess the odds of that happening as 50/50 at best.
There were lots of negative threads over at the CIG forums after the presentation. Complaints about everything from the referral program and shitty voice acting/writing, to spaceflight mechanics and "limited" ships and LTI being offered up for sale again and again.
It's pretty obvious CIG is in full on cash grab mode, which is no surprise.
We aren't. We're listening to ex employees and observing the state and development of the game by ourselves.
Yes, it was an issue for some time now. DS made it more public and talked about.
You keep bringing him up and can't seem to let him go.
I would rather something be changed before it's too late.
I can see and I follow, and that is why I'm more worried than ever.
They've missed EVERY deadline they THEMSELVES set.
I wouldn't bother talking about it as much if I wasn't rooting for it and hoping the game I backed sees the light of day.
Me too.
Or Star Citizen so far, unfortunately. Monthly reports don't count as a playable promised product.
Many are.
I very much prefer to get the game, the problem IS it is only part way through development.
I backed Chris to make the game he pitched with delays expected. Not what it became today.
This is not a backers made problem but a CIG made one.
There are multiple issues raised.
Hmm...
Are you trolling or sarcastic, or being serious?
Citizencon proved nothing of the sort. If anything, it confirmed there is merit to issues raised.
It is October 2015. and all they have to show is a short SQ42 intro with bad graphics and animations, with many "it will be better when finished" promises. They've said the same thing last year and the year before. Enough is enough.
I have and the quality is terrible this late in the development!
We have barely anything more of actual importance today than we did a year ago.
Relax. Also, I sincerely hope there will be a great game in the end.
Yesterday's presentation did little to disprove the criticism, unfortunately.
That is the kind of demo I expected way back then, not after so many delays and this late in production.
LOL! They "tacked their name" on it because they got payed. Nothing more, nothing less.
It proved they did mocap.
It proved there are even more unplayable ships for sale.
It proved they are way behind on graphics, animation and gameplay.
That the latest drama around possible development problems could be justified.
I was excited in 2012, 2013, 2014 and the beginning of 2015. Now I am worried.
Is this true? Have they really brought back LTI AGAIN?!?!
