Today, during CitizenCon 2949, Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games talked about the "Quantum" technology, which is basically a universe simulator.
The developer of Star Citizen launched update Alpha 4.7.1 and started a Free Fly Event, making the game free to play for a limited time.
Sure....since they raised close to a billion they don't even need to make a profit.
But it’s not funded by players for over 13 years. And it will release before Star Citizen
what difference does it make, it's being funded while you are pissed off, money is money. Why do you have emotion?
Feels like when at the mall people stop you to give you free products and once you accept they won't stop to follow you until you buy the rest ..... F-DAT !
I do wish they'd release this for PS5 Pro at the very least. I've been craving a good realistic space exploration game since Frontier Developments stopped supporting ongoing updates for Elite Dangerous on consoles. I put a ton of hours into that game and then they just stopped console support when the Odyssey update came out. Pissed me off LOL. I guess I'll get back into No Man's Sky for the time being since there's a bunch of new stuff since I've last played.
I didn't even realise you had to pay. Who on earth is paying to play a game that is still in alpha over a decade on 😂
"A decade?"
This started before No Man's Sky was announced.
2011. It's been a decade and a half.
Shameless plug for NMS: you can build all of Star Citizens' ships in NMS for free. The only difference is that one of these games has launched...a decade ago. And the new update allows you toto capture creatures and battle them in an arena.
Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games fully unveiled and made available one of the most anticipated ships of its lineup, the MISC Hull B.
The whimsical April Fool's prank by Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games hid a piece of actual news that many have been waiting for.
At this rate the game will be released in 2030 LOL.
I want to play this.
You have to admit, this is some really cool stuff. Basically a fully simulated, dynamic economy based on simulated NPCs with personality traits, supply and demand etc. This will also generate missions. They're actually doing what they kept talking about for years.
And a dev tool that hooks right into the backend services and lets them modify stuff very easily.
Hey kids, today we're gonna talk about something called Scope Creep. When you build a game years ago, you're building constrained for the technology at that time. Delaying the release means what you have is most likely going obsolete. Continuing down this path means you need to revamp or completely redo what you have just to keep up with existing technology. So what does it mean? It means Star Citizen may never come out, and if it does, it will always be behind and outdated.
Thing is gamers complain about having advanced enemy ai in games, truth is you all dont want that. Imagine playing a game and every ai is just as capable as a real life person. The game wouldn't even be fun at that point. You would literally be getting killed every 5 seconds
