The S42 part does not need any "miracles" to succeed - it's just a scripted campaign that only needs the time it takes to produce its assets, mechanics, locations and the like. The PU part is where there are question marks with Server Meshing, but even there, they have been deploying all the other tech in the run-up to it - OCS, PES, etc - so "miraculous" is a bit of a hyperbole.

For about 2.5 years how SQ42 was my actually the primary drive for me to be interested in SC. I just really liked the direction they were going with that project and what focuses they set here (Combat, Flight and Social). For me it is somewhat of a Space Half-Life as it seems to me like they are very much focusing on a lot of stuff that makes Half-Life the best game-series I have ever played (including Half-Life Alyx which is one of the best games of all time for me). Specifically the world-building, the fact that the world moves around you (everywhere you go seems like it was already doing stuff BEFORE you got there and triggered a specific scene) and so on. I also have only limited time and a lot of private projects so a massive MMO is not always the best for me personally but I think everybody can take time to finish a mid-sized Campaign (I expect it to be more the size of games like many Playstation First-Parties and not a monster like for example this year BG3 or Starfield). So, yeah. Because of this alone I think this years CitizenCon is the most hyped I have been so far for one and I can't wait to see some stuff (even if it is only something about the development-side because that is the other reason I follow SC. I just really like all the insight into development following this project gives you)

At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is CIG's ability to deliver something to its backers. Something substantial and functional. Pyro would be a great start in that direction. More importantly, server meshing would be ideal. Without it, the game will never be what it was intended to be.

There are really only two things CIG can do at CitCon that would restore my faith in the project: 1. CR walks on stage and announces that SQ404 is available to download and play _right now_ (highly unlikely, think of all the unlucky backers who paid to attend CitCon and can't play) 2. CR walks on stage and announces that Pyro and server meshing are available on the PU _right now_ (again, highly unlikely see 1) Any future date they care to give us for either of these (which they won't, CIG not being beholden to such things) is meaningless, answer the call 2016 and all that. Sadly, in this case past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior so I'm afraid it will all just come to empty promises and hype.

This is their opportunity to recapture my attention with something substantial, but if it's another case of everything particularly interesting being projected for Q4 next year, I'm definitely staying clocked out for awhile.

I will say the following. I fully believe in the storyline company SK42 because if someone does not know, then Chris Roberts is not just a igrodel who personally participates in the development as a programmer, but he is also a producer of film films! i.e. he is the person who loves games, knows how they work and has an artistic core that allows he needs to create spectacular content. If we turn to the old Roberts games, we will see Wing Commander - in fact, a movie with game elements) Then there were Privateer, Star Lancer and Freelancer - after each of these games I felt like a spectator of an interactive movie. And now, seeing everything that was in the shots of squadron 42, I see the same cinematic style of Roberts. That's why I can say for sure - the story campaign will definitely be spectacular, and the plot will be like a good action movie. And what I personally like about this situation is that in many story games we have a "new game +" i.e. the same thing but with a new complexity. And in Star Citizen, we essentially have a story company, at the end of which a new game + for us will be a full-fledged MMO mode. This is exactly what I would like to get after the end of the story part of the game Freelancer..)

Citizen con isnt much more than a marketing exercise. Historically very little comes out of this for the actual players. Lots of promises very little follow through and I figure this year will be more of the same. Roberts has always hyped the event and then promised lots with ambitios deadlines...... and here we are years later with a b=arely functional game missing most of its features and a single player game that is 9 years late with no actual release date for the future. Even if Roberts announces a release date I doubt many will believe him until its delivered. He has a singular lack of credability at this point. Sorry to be negative but its what CIG has delivered in the past.

Look at the facts, we have the jump points in-game. Replication Layer is coming in 3.21.x, Replication Layer will let us switch servers seamlessly, after that all they would have to do is just add the actual jump point and Pyro which is pretty close to being done

@@targaryen6159 I think you are downplaying the challenges that remain. Historically, any large changes to core tech has had a significant effect on the stability of the game.

@@targaryen6159 Quite funny. You say "facts" and then you tell what you think might happen. Anything that "will be" is not a "fact" but a "promise" So, yes, we do have a (non-functional) "jump point" in the PTU. But does that really mean anything? We have cargo decks in the PU for many years, and I am still waiting for the promised cargo missions. Actually My guess is that Pyro is already finsihed for quite some time. They just hold it back because it is their one-time joker for a big hype in case sales are too low. Just my 2cents.

I hope you're right, I really do. I agree that this feels like a really important time for the project. I believe they need to deliver "something" important in the near future because basically we've had about four or five years of hot air, bullshit and broken "promises" - I know, not exactly promises but let's just say that a lot have things have "supposedly" been just around the corner, imminent or upcoming. I'm already pleased with what I can see of the current QoL improvements in the PU and PTU and it's great to see that separation of the replication layer really is the next step, but being a backer for nearly 11 years at this point has taught me to enjoy what we have now rather than hoping too hard for what may or may not be just around the corner.

They really need to do a damn single player story mode that can be enjoyed in multiplayer already. This tiny changes are going nowhere slowly. They have ENOUGH to start populating the world with actual interactive npcs that don't just T=pose on benches, creatures like the sandworm they teased a decade ago and never added, and immersive missions that aren't just fetch quests. The have enough funds. Half a billion is more than enough so no one can pretend as if they have financial obstacles. Instead of wasting money on stuff like Citizen Con, use that money t get a team to finish a playable single player experience that WILL make even better income and THEN do all these smaller updates. Perfection is a hollow dream if it means you're not hitting your milestones.
@ryanjones410610 ай бұрын
I can feel it in my bones. SQ42 is nearing completion. They’ve stayed quiet about it so they can focus and just make the game (without a live environment to take care of). Once this game launches it’ll be off to the races and Star Citizen will exponentially see massive content and gameplay updates. Lots of which will be brought over from SQ42. I have faith in this project. SQ42 was a strategic ace and people don’t even realize it yet.

Nobody knows that its "around the corner". What you see could be LITERALLY all there is and theres NOTHING in Pryo, or close to dev complete. Everyone thinks that every major once Bi-yearly patch where they add something big is a "turning point". Its MIND-Blowing how they can throw in some copy pasta assets and suddenly the ash flow skyrockets. And hype train off we go. #NCTP - till Pyro ACTUALLY exists and is playable. Ill always eat my words if they prove me wrong, but the track record isnt great. But I will never give into the "its almost here, its RIGHT around the corner"

This is the first CitizenCon I'll be attending. I'm going in with low expectations for what I'm going to see. I'm aware enough of CIG and Chris Roberts that all that was suggested in this video to be announced later this month, won't come to pass. Or maybe it will. This is the first CitizenCon in years. It's taking place where the original SC Studio was located. The only way I'm going to be celebrating what I see, is if SQ42 has a release date announced. A specific date. Not a "Releasing in 2024" or "Releasing Winter 2024", a full date that they will be held to.

I done lost count of how many times I have heard this since 2013. I consider my pledge money a bad "investment" that I have since learned a great deal from. I never pre-order games anymore, for example. No matter what. That said, I'd still like to be pleasantly surprised at some point by CIG or the fancy tech demo that is SC. I will admit that my recent experiences with the PU the past week have been the most positive so far. No crashes or 30K's, but considering I only played a couple hours, that's not exactly a broad spectrum of testing. Arena Commander on the other hand, which has ALWAYS been perfect for me, bugged out 4 or 5 times in a row where the pirates would stop spawning. The one time I actually got to fight the Idris, the stupid NPC ships refused to engage, and unsurprisingly, my Cuttie didn't quite cut it against a frigate. The resource usage has also gotten entirely out of hand, where it will actively lay claim to all 32GB of my RAM, almost push my i9 13900K to its limits (certainly all P-cores), and laugh at my 4090 when running it in 4K. But if I had the choice between disconnects and crashes, or 100+ fps, I'd certainly take the former any day.

Cool video, that I aligh with a lot, thanks. I really hope CIG manages CitCon in accordance with how big the moment is. What has happened with both Bethesda and Larian lately kinda sets a stage for an additional expectation I think. The question being where CIG will try to situate itself, what message they will want to pass, what type of company they will want to be. The "as big and important and shiny and financially successful as the big names of the industry", or the "passionate bunch dedicated to quality for player above else, with money as a means and a good game as an end". In my view, Star Citizen will come to be, and will be big, it's almost inevitable at this point - they have worked hard for it and it starts to show (or will soon). But I'm eager to see what CIG becomes, what route they take. If they become what they aspired to avoid - big money machines with a game as a mean -, if they sell after success in a mainstream economics way, or if they stick to independance and embody the successful alternative never selling its soul. In my post-capitalist mindset, I think the world and the gaming 'industry' need the latter. Larian must not be allowed to remain the "anomaly". CIG needs to hit the nail once again. And they can use their big moment to do so.
