It’s even harder to believe that people still want to vote for him (cough cough dad cough cough).

Wow, you must really be an amazing fantastic guy then, to be white knighting for them and saying uninformed things just out of the goodness of your own heart. I’m overwhelmed, senpai.

You used the R word to accuse someone who knows what he’s talking about of not knowing.

All of these people that don’t know that a graphics rendering engine is only one part of a games technology stack are the ones who don’t know what they’re talking about.

As a developer (web, not necessarily game other than some very light attempts), I 100% was picking up what you were putting down.

Please understand that the ‘CryEngine’ is a tiny part of the entire game engine. I know all analogies suck, but imagine vehicles, and the CryEngine is the central V8 ICE, but everything around that is different, and every group has done mods on the V8 anyhow.

He’s wondering if each of the 4 modules that make up Star Citizen are CryEngine, but edited and built differently to optimize each one.

I’m sure the people there know how to code, but if you have four independent groups doing an indoor module, an outdoor module, a combat module, and a planet module, every single group is going to choose a different design optimized for their use case. I’ve been there! The planet group would be f#$ing crazy to use the…

I really don’t want to copypasta that whole thing into the thread again, please see http://kotaku.com/1787604475 - basically, CryEngine is only a tiny partial engine, everything around it is far more important and they’ve customized most of it anyhow.

That’s an excellent point - and I wonder whether the indoor module, outdoor module, and combat module have differently modded CryEngines (which would be another source of hell) or if they at least kept that the same. I don’t know!

He actually has every idea what he is talking about.

I have every idea what I’m talking about. You Trumpian deplorables can bloviate and upvote each other all you want, but this is technical truth. I backed the game, I still want Squadron 42, but I know exactly how they’ve painted themselves into a corner and why it’s delayed indefinitely again.

CryEngine is a graphics (and mildly game) engine which leaves most of the basic game design choices to the game itself. I’ve played with it, along with Unity, Unreal 4, and Haxe/Flixe, and the key bit is CryEngine is NOT a total game engine like RPGMaker. It’s mostly about the rendering. You can have radically…

Yeah, it was pretty obvious from the ‘demo’ tonight that they have no f#$%ing idea what they’re doing. They’ve taken 4 different engines designed in isolation and are trying to merge them into a coherent whole, and of course that’s way more work than making the 4 different engines to begin with.

Because he very well may not be; being a child predator /= gay. Abusive sex is about power, not identity.

Exactly. Anyone who is concerned with mods should be on a pc.

I love how people like you just bought Bethesda’s bullshit about Sony not “allowing” mods for those two games. What actually happened was more likely that Bethesda didn’t make a compelling argument that they’d vet mods to prevent system hard crashes and other shit that would hit Sony in the wallet due to warranties…

Why are you playing Bethesda games on consoles? Mods aren’t going to save you from that shit show. I’m not even being all PC master race here.
