Star Citizen - Chris Roberts, lots of spaceship porn, lots of promises

Wouldn’t get too excited. It’s just a multiplayer arcade shooter isn’t it? The VR version was pretty dull.

If they keep expanding Elite Dangerous that could basically turn into everything Star Citizen promised. It’s a solid foundation.

Not sure it would take any less time to get there than SC though. There still aren’t even atmospheric landings in ED.

I look back at the Jennison letter and how Star Citizen has panned out two years later this month

Well, the 3.0 Baby Jesus Patch has been released to Evocati testing. It’s pretty bad.

This is most definitely Freelancer 2.0, but with $160 million of backer money.

21GB of RAM usage and 11GB of VRAM usage? Uh.

I’m a bit surprised. AtV last week CR talks about not releasing to Evocati while 5-6 players crash the game every 5-10 minutes. No mention of what blockers are causing those crashes, yet released the next week.

Time-linked:

So wait! Are you saying they lied, then made a bad call? Say it ain’t so!

You ARE aware that just two weeks ago, they removed a bunch of issues and deferred them to a later build? Well apparently they did it again for this build.

As for the patch notes, half that crap isn’t even in it. So that’s just a road map for what they expect will be from now to the final 3.0 release.

I mean…he looked sincere…

Hey, I’d love a sincere Freelancer sequel.

Well, yeah. I’m sure you’d love a Wing Commander sequel as well, but instead what you get is… this.

Sigh, yeah.

It’s pure chaos in Evocati atm. Lots of talk about refunds, disappointment etc. Then came this

What’s Evocati?

Their Super Seekret test server, I believe, where the Star Citizen patricians play.

It’s a select group of elite testers (mostly whales, concierge backers, streamers) they release to first. It goes like this.

dev -> QA -> evocati -> public test universe -> live

Whew! Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering what all the “Evocati” was about.

Geezus, and they called it “Evocati” like some fucking sports car? Gah.

Or Illuminati

Isn’t Evocatii the race of people living on the Hutts home planet in SWTOR?
