The fuck it will.
Wear your Snowden hood.
Took the words right out of my fingers.
AND WHAT ABOUT THE CAMERA THEY WERE GONNA SELL.
Fuck. flips desk
No, Brian. They’re selling a camera.jpeg.
You son of a bitch. You’re lucky I wasn’t drinking something right there. And that barely anyone is in the office today.
Still laughing.
I think you just subtly told us the title of the book:
SharkMule
Hehe.
Was thinking ‘Whale Backer’, but that is probably some psychological PhD research being conducted with Facebook/Kickstarter data.
lol.
Surprised it didn’t have some technology that only that camera would use; possible not even real - yet.
The project vastly exceeded my expectations! They had a 2 hour demo, it featured:
- Starting late because they hadn’t loaded things up before the demo
- A complete system crash putting a coffee cup on a table at the start
- Pretty sure they switched to a pre-recorded thing after that except it was so bad it is hard to believe it was recorded
- Multiple Train Rides
- Zero Space Flights (really, zero)
- So much clipping
- A bartender teleporting a glass around
- The worst combat AI I have seen in decades
- For real, multiple train rides and no space flight/combat
- At one point they had to stand around multiple minutes for a train because they run on a schedule and that’s a great thing to demo…
This is all things that happened.
I know where to come for my comedy fix these days.
The new trailer for Squadron 42 looks pretty spiffy!
That is a compelling trailer. They really need to get that game out to make people happy. A decent Squadron 42 with a free expansion or so will buy them quite a bit of time.
I hope they can pull it off. I’d love to see a good game come out of this.
Yeah, it’s not present. Outside of the final Death Star-like attack in the last few seconds, the whole trailer was limited to scripted scenes featuring uncomfortable Hollywood stars and gorgeous locations. Isn’t this supposed to have an FPS component, too? On Resetera, someone mentioned that a roadmap detailing the release schedule for 42 will arrive in December, but I’m certainly not expecting anything substantial for a while (if ever).
Maybe a movie trailer. I just saw a bunch of cutscenes.
Compelling? This is all they show after years and tens of millions of dollars? This was worthless.
That is the game. It’s like a $200 million production of Where’s Waldo in space.
I am waiting for the fallout from tomorrows court battle before updating and publishing my next article which covers ShitizenCon 2018, the latest financials, as well as the court battle.
Meantime, here is a thread I started yesterday and finished today.
Compelling? Really? You know they showed what they called a playable vertical slice last year, right?
If you thought the F42 trailer was compelling, well here are more from the session. See if you can spot the difference in production quality and value. Tell me which you think is actually and totally part of a compelling game.
ps: These ships were created out of thin air and were never a part of the game’s original design or scope. Chris continues to monetize scope creep. This despite the fact that a massive number of ships previously sold in JPEG concept are still NOT in the game. It’s a massive shell game. Sell a new JPEG to fund the previous JPEG that was already sold. Also, they’re selling $700 ships for a $45 game.
Also (this is good), this is the Road To Release segment in which Chris waffles around and says nothing about a “release”. Just another set of bullet points that he shows year after year and which mostly never materialize.
Totally plonking this here.
