Why is there always such nasty aliasing?

 

[Denton]

You'll mostly be on military capital ships and bases during the single-player campaign (Squadron 42) like Wing Commander games not named Privateer.

That ArcCorp environment you just saw is for the Privateer-like open universe portion of Star Citizen.

Hmmm, would be weird not to use it in singleplayer, we'll see.

I am glad they are doing first/third perspective unified. Only other game that does it is ArmA series and I love it.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Stop switching the fucking camera.

 

[Zalusithix]

Why is there always such nasty aliasing?

Because there's no AA in the engine right now?

 

[ChosenPredator]

he's adding to the list of crazy amount of things that this game will be capable of doing...damn

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Yeah this FPS footage looks...rough to say the least.

 

[Shy]

they're just completely ignoring Chris. lol

 

[ChosenPredator]

Stop switching the fucking camera.

yeah the camera switching is annoying as fuck

 

[Raticus79]

Why is there always such nasty aliasing?

The direct feed they're using is interlaced. Watch for the horizontal lines.

It looks better when they're filming a monitor, ha.

 

[Kaako]

FPS mode looks rough as hell...

 

[AntiFacebook]

Why does it look like an FPS and not a space simulator?

 

[Sou Da]

guys pls use hologram

pls

 

[mercenar1e]

FPS doesn't look fun at all.

 

[Sax Russel]

This is why we get super scripted presentations with ultra natural "chatter" during E3 =X

 

[doctorcdcs]

WILL SOMEBODY PRESS G FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

 

[TheTrain]

Why does it look like an FPS and not a space simulator?

Cuz this is the FPS module

 

[Agremont]

Why does it look like an FPS and not a space simulator?

Because it's both.

 

[tbd]

You make it sound like it's something absolutely normal that it doesn't even have some cheap FXAA at this point.

Then again, the stream isn't the best quality.

 

[Raticus79]

Why does it look like an FPS and not a space simulator?

It's all first person. The FPS is needed for ship boarding, etc. There should be a big space segment coming up.

 

[Zalusithix]

Why does it look like an FPS and not a space simulator?

It's closer to a life simulator in space. Lots of different things than just flying space ships.

 

[Anton Sugar]

FPS reminds me of Arma in close quarters combat and not in a great way. Arma's model is great for open/long distance engagements but falls apart a bit in close quarters, because nuanced movement is far more important.

Still early, though--I like the concept of fidelity to the character model ala Arma and GTA V but don't know how well it works in closer engagements.

 

[bj00rn_]

Even if it's a sci-fi game I'm not a fan of typical game-like building and room architecture where almost nothing makes practical sense.

 

[mercenar1e]

they'll show SQ42 at Citizen con? does that mean its a 2016 release?

 

[tuxfool]

For a game in alpha, it isn't inconceivable.

Star Marine is a competitive FPS. The PU has more realistically set up buildings I think.

 

[Daedardus]

Oh my God. Don't halls like that usually have some kind of ventilation system?

The normal show floor had ventilation. It was cooler inside than outside, which was a first since I went to gamescom.

No, I don't find features missing in a non-final engine that's being used in a game that's in alpha being anything that's a deal breaker.

This sort of model is far better for things like VR. Most other FPSes would completely break in VR. This is beyond the other advantages they already mentioned.

So FPS and Social Modules due in August?

To be honest, part of me wonders how this type of module release schedule impacts total development. Having to pull a large percentage of employees to iron out individual pieces for release has to be taxing.

 

[mercenar1e]

So FPS and Social Modules due in August?

FPS end of next month

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Is someone farting into the mic?

 

[Shy]

DAT audio distortion.

 

[Human Resources]

crunchy ass tunes bro

 

[Gwarf]

I think my headphones are dead...

 

[Spukc]

nice audio GREAT guys xD
this game will be a gem

 

[Sou Da]

So what was GAF like when the starship competition was going on?

 

[Dictator93]

Well about 10% of the company is even working on FPS I think. So it is not a big problem or something.

FPS end of next month

September?

 

[tuxfool]

that audio aliasing...

 

[Danthrax]

FPS "end of next month, hopefully"

Social due this month, though, yes

 

[MGHA]

I can reproduce.

 

[Raticus79]

Very nice, a public bug tracker with voting.

 

[Ardenyal]

swanky ass video for bug reporting..

Dan Vavra was asked about this in a recent interview, with them releasing playable alphas of Kingdom Come, how much does it detract from development. He said that yeah, it takes some extra time, but actually it can save time longer term because it forces you to actually bunker down and do the work that you would have to do eventually anyway. Plus you get useful feedback.

 

[mercenar1e]

September?

this month is August so yeah

 

[Joseph Merrick]

So what was GAF like when the starship competition was going on?

don't think gaf had any threads about that when it was going on. can't remember any at least

 

[Shy]

The community hub looks pretty swanky.

 

[Raticus79]

Ouch, feels like they're plugging and unplugging big old stereo cables there. *pop pop*

 

[Agremont]

Lol he did a swear!

 

[Shy]

We're live don't say fuck or bugger.

 

[Dictator93]

We were talking about it in the SC thread at the time.
