So 600 years into the future and the Earth’s army sounds exactly like the US Army of today, but looks a lot whiter? wow there’s been some ethnic cleansing in this Empire
Yes, I think it would be way more fun to play if they spoke some language I don’t understand or at least said “frak” a lot.
It’s not optimization if you just never upgraded the hardware you started production on
Idk man…Star Citizen is a famous resource hog… and i dont think they reinvent the wheel with SQ42
Last time they had a free weekend and I checked it out, the game still ran like doodoo on my machine built in 2016.
“Focus on optimization” = normal people can not get close to affording shit beyond their existing 10 year old hardware.
Chris Roberts’ upcoming single player magnum opus, Squadron 42, now has a Steam page, the company’s focus on optimization will allow the game to run on early 2010s era CPUs
Yeah, I believe this Chris Roberts guy, he seems to be very trustworthy.
Yeah, fucking what?
Star Citizen?
Optimized?
Its notoriously a horrifically buggy and unoptimized branch of literally the Crysis engine which was famously memed into oblivion as being quite hardware intensive.
… on the very hardware specifically mentioned.
That’s made basically no progress in terms of optimization for about a decade now.
This is delusional.
Like did nobody see the recent ‘hey guys this is our dev branch you can see how much more optimized it is - woops its buggy laggy and crashes all the time’ live stream?
You don’t get it. It wasn’t buggy. Sure, they delayed the game again, but that was totally because of GTA6. Trust
this isnt star citizen the multiplayer game but the single player story. no network code. star citizen has been more if a test bed fir thus game
Also, Windows 11 minimum. On a Bulldozer. That doesn’t sound quite right.
I looked it up and I backed this thing in October of 2012. I’ve played 0 minutes of this game. Talk about return on investment.
That was star citizen, the mmo, this is squared 42, the single player game
For him it seems fine 😁
A list of things that will happen before this game actually comes out:
- Trump Dies
- Putin apologizes and withdraws from Ukraine
- Netanyahoo declares a Palestinian state
- my ex wife stops being a bitch
- My current wife converts to Christianity.
- Grand Theft Auto 7 releases. Not 6. Seven.
Plot twist: Crackhappy converted after bitch ex wife and is now happily married to his husband
i should fucking hope so, those were state of the art when they started development.
I’m not sure you could get an 8GB GPU in 2012 - could you? And 16GB of RAM wasn’t really a consideration for most.
You’re correct. back then the standard was still 2GB with some cards offering 3 or 4 GB. 2014 the first 8GB was released, but that was one board manufacturer going beyond the chip manufacturer specifications. Another 2 years later, the RX 480 and GTX 1070 came out with 8GB.
Sapphire 290X VaporX 8GB
I have one :)
no, i was mostly talking cpus.
For sure. And while the CPU comment is valid (and funny), I’m suggesting that it’s also being carried by required minimum hardware that didn’t even exist during that CPU’s production run.
Minimum 8gb vram is not 2010 level…
I’m sure you could fit 150GB of uncompressed assets on a CD though right?
Yeah at the time I had a Radeon HD 5850, which I think was a decent price-value balance, and that had 1GB.
(Hmm, I do not understand what the comment meant to say. The game is not coming out in 2010.)Edit: Never mind, I missed that in the long title of the post.
I’m not believing it’s coming until it’s out. It’s been too long and Roberts gaslights people every few years to keep the money flowing.
I really don’t think this is ever going to release.
Even as someone who is legitimately excited for this game to come out, this reaction is so completely justified. CIG have only themselves to blame for all the skepticism at this point.
Of course, they’re also continuing to make money hand over fist, so I guess they don’t really care…
Can’t say for certain, but I think voice acting contracts with famed actors were already announced. So the money has likely already been sent out and something will be released, one way or another.
Considering the persistance and severity of bugs in Star Citizen I would expect this one to be delayed about 5 more years. There is no way they get this out the door in a working condition any time soon.
They let around 100 people play the game throughout the weekend.
All reviews where very favorable.
So,.I think sq42 is pretty close to release
Just a bit more polishing everything is basically ready any day now trust
It would be incredible if they’re able to pull that off.
I hate the trend of just pushing more and more graphics through up-scaling technologies. My electricity bill isn’t too happy either.
Considering the game still requires a minimum of 16gb of memory and an 8gb graphics card I wouldn’t say it’s not pushing more and more graphics. All that the specs imply is that the bottleneck will be the GPU.
Funny enough in SC its definitely the CPU in many cases
That makes sense. If they set up the pipeline for Star Citizen, then cut out all of the processing needed for networking, then you end up with a lot of headroom on the CPU. However, some of this will obviously be consumed by AI (as in video game AI).
I imagine the 100+ fps crowd will complain that the game’s hard.
i imagine the 10fps crowd to be quite mad as well
Considering how bad his financial management is i doubt he has money left to finish his “magnum opus”.
Game will probably cost 100$ for base edition and 500$ for day one dlc and 50000$ for ultimate edition and in game store of course.
They are getting more money each year…
There are so many things to actually criticize CIG for that it seems weird to come up with something like this out of nowhere. When they were last selling SQ42 as a standalone it was $40. Despite all of the entirely justified memes about expensive ships you can still buy the complete Star Citizen game for $45 and unlock all those ships in game. While CIG have zero problem shilling $5000 ship packages to overly eager whales, they’ve always kept their base asking price impressively low.
Yeah, you’ll find a person who runs Bulldozer with a 8GB GPU. /s
Q2 2027? So they’re finally admitting it won’t be this year. Or 2016. Probably not next year either.
I think it will start and “run” but won’t be playable…
It will run surprisingly well.
Like Cyberpunk 2077 on the PS4.
