I do think ''immersion'' mode is a nice compromise, but since you want to also record your reactions to things you could just simply edit in your facecam whenever you feel like you have a good reaction to a certain something
The way I would go about acting on this would be making a double wide recording space, half for the game and half for the camera then edit it the camera bits when tasteful. I don't understand how y'all suggesting what he already was doing as a solution works when he is saying in the video that he wasn't able to multitask well between toggling the camera on/off and making the video as normal, but this makes me feel like I'm misunderstanding what y'all are saying or y'all know a different way of handling this. Curious to know what y'all mean in detail.
I know right. It's also these youtubers that dont have any real content and they only rely on the "SC News". So now this guy milks this 3.23 update every day until it will release.. No self worth these youtubers...
I remember you used to do videos without your face. I personally like those more. You’re a handsome man and all haha, but I really enjoy looking at the beauty of the game and then getting your voice in the background. It’s very relaxing to watch the game and then I feel like I’m watching through your eyes. I vote no face and not because there’s anything wrong with your face. It just helps me experience the visuals deeper.
The two PIPs are displaying where you should be aiming based on your weapon systems bullet velocity. Ballistics travels slower than energy weapons so you would have to use the lead pip that is farther ahead for your Gatling, and the lead pip that is closer to the ship for energy weapons as you wouldn't have to lead your shots as far due to faster projectile travel speeds. I recommend running all of weapons of the same velocity to give you only 1 pip to have to worry about.
890J mission being the definitive test of stability is so funny. I remember about 2 years ago, I was confidently bounty hunting ship targets. I decided, im going to see if the 890J mission works, it did not. LMAO.
With all the server woes Invictus brings.. It would be quite bad PR to release the patch during invictus, because of all the returning players not realizing the servers are gonna be even more on fire than they usually are at a new patch release. But then again, invictus without the patch would be equally bad timing. Imagine returning players / new players playing in the free fly, and they have to deal with the old shitty UI... I dont think theres a win win situation. Just gotta hope some level of polish exists in 3.23 before then.
I do think for moments it's nice to see your face but honestly I totally enjoy just your voice audio. I think that's one of the reasons I like your channel do much. Also you have a great personality, and your enthusiasm is contagious.
Ollie, if you set up obs to have extra screen space, you can configure essentially a double wide recording space for your face and game. Then you can edit it in post as to what is best for when to use the camera.
Love the videos. So this may be crazy, but why not record your face cam separately and edit it back in when appropriate and to capture the great reactions? Then you can control the end product.
At the end there you are having a hard time killing ships because of the weapon spread in the new tuning. When firing at max range against a small fighter most of your shots will miss because the spread area is larger than their cross-section. For max damage you want to wait and engage at closer ranges ~400-600m so they are larger than the spread area and take more hits. A good rule of thumb is whatever the weapons max range is, consider half of that is where optimal range falls off.
the actual gunplay looks really satisfying now. That's something I hoped they would work on. The kill confirmed sound is overkill though. Need something more subtle. I like the idea of a little beep that your combat visor/system gives you. But it should be more immersive and not as gamey as it sounds now.
Feedback taken stock of I love it, btw I'm actually jealous a thick black frame would seem comic like in theory but in practice you've got the proportions just right in a way that it looks actually quite slick & professional you kept the camera size at a perfect level and even combined in some green screen...

It's been click-bait titles with nothing to say for a while now. Little to nothing happening in Star Citizen really worth a video, sadly. There's probably different reasons but ultimately the "RUclips algorithm" is why these waste-your-time videos get put out.
future SC player here. appreciate the vids. for me, i like the immersion technique. facecam at the start and end are fine - reactions are not critical. :D
3.22 has / had three flights modes. Coupled, Decoupled, and then Decoupled with landing gear down (which stopped your ship falling in gravity). It sounds like they’ve just made decoupled and decoupled with landing gear down the same and removed a third mode.
Star Citizen is really coming together, and finally starting to feel like a game (There's a long way still to go I know). Really looking forward to the end of the year
Ai have always been hard to deal with if server FPS was high. The lower the server FPS, the dumber they acted. If you managed to get on a server after a fresh restart, the AI would positively shred you in an instant. I guess CIG finally managed to either increase average server FPS, or decouple the AI performance from it.
Ahahahhaha, I see you read my comment xD. Thank you for the introduction of "immersion mode" You made the best solution imo. Facecam on when talking, off when playing. 👍 But maybe record it separately so you don't have to manage it during gameplay? My pc broke, girlfriend left, I broke my arm and also got fired, so now watching your videos is pretty much my life for the near future xDD thanks for the content Edit: Also look at what the other guy in comments has to say, maybe record your facecam separately so you can edit it in rather than having to worry about constantly having to turn it on and off
Hey Olli, you've mentioned the "face" mode of yourself a few times. I feel like your vids run more smoothly without it, simply since you are more immersed in the video, rather than your appearance. Enjoy your high vibes and over looking all of Star Citizens short falls.
Got tired of waiting for full release so finally went to try EPTU, but its greyed out unable to copy account over on the website. Guess im still waiting.
Keep the cam on! Ships are getting tankier. Eventally we're supposed to rarely completely lose a ship. We're meant to be reparing ships, even stolen boarded ships, the ship itself I believe will become valuable. Obviously they wll still be lost if you really try to blow them up or fly straight into a planet or something like that. But general combat should just disable ships and punch them full of holes.
I think its tougher to kill ships now because they are trying to find the sweet spot for allowing time for engineering on board ships. Also it was way to easy to blow up soft deaths ships unintentionally.
Could you film the face cam on a separate layer, and edit it in post? It'd be a lot easier to choose when you'd want the camera on rather than a keybind
i still dont understand peoples issues with the old eva. i used to super man 360 around ships with no helment in space back and forth no issues and never really face planted. you only fell if you were sideways when you tried to enter a ship.
Tbh the FPS AI and mission instability are the main things holding me back from buying this game. I play a lot of Liftoff and Elite Dangerous so the ship flying and fighting are right up my alley, but the fun of doing all the immersive stuff (and flying multiple irl minutes to a destination) is ruined for me if I get there and the mission bugs out or the AI just stands around barely fighting back and remembering to die 3 seconds after I shoot them. With games like Ready or Not and Cyberpunk pushing the boundaries of AI and FPS gameplay respectively I've got no desire to go back to * just tolerating* sub-par PVE, even if it is attached to a larger experience. I played a bit during the free trial event last year and I plan to do the same this year, hoping to see major improvements!
Ships seem to survive more now because these hit markers mean very little 1.4km away. 🤣 Maybe you will connect with 1 or 2 of those shots due to the weapon speed now but you still have to deal with a cone of fire that's going to make 90% of the shots miss. I also heard all ships got a certain amount of base armor just to protect them as they cycle in and out of SCM without shields.
i loved decoupled mode because it gave me freedom while flying but constantly falling wasnt fun :D made landing unconsistant WAIT WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MUCH AMMO ON YOUR GATLING?
I love your content, Ollie, but I especially love videos like this. The ejecting from the Gladius to the 890 jump was just a chef's kiss🤌. I played all night on 5/9/24, and I most certainly am not speaking for everyone, but in my own experience, the EPTU is running smoother than any live version I have played thus far. It will be ready if they let it cook in the EPTU for another week! 🫡
Sinc the start of april you could see videos that the 3.23 will drop soon. Back then i was thinking it will drop near end of may. I wasnt rly commenting on it coz i would get hate but now ...
I'm a few seconds into the video, Ollie says "I'm going to go on a mission fully prepared"... so my bet for the video is that he's not prepared enough, and will likely run out of ammo EDIT: I was wrong... i was wrong?! *checks the script* I'm not supposed to be wrong about that on a Olli video
I love the no face during game play thing. Your a lovely looking guy and all but I'm over the Twitch style of half the screen is covered in overlays when all I want is to see the game play. I've ditched the toxic twitch environment (your a bad person if your not throwing money at them) and I do not watch RUclipsrs that run the overlays or just post there twitch video's. Don't even get me started on streamers that overlay chat on the game screen.
Hey Olli, how long does it typically take for updates that you get in early test versions to get to the ptu for everyone? Also keep it up man, I love your videos!!
Olli will never answer you. There is no easy answer to this. It depends on how much and what is in the patch that needs polishing. Every one is different. This one already did get to the PTU for everyone. Then they shut that off again shortly after. So those that caught it, are in now.
About to about to about to.. - 2015. Its gonna be this that ans this.. 9 years later well its almost done man!! In 9 years it will be still almost done.
I dont really like the idea of immersion mode, I mean yeah I its good for SC but honestly I dont watch you for the immersion but because the way you express yourself and how you show the game
Ollies positive attitude: Top Tier
Ollies Dog fighting skills: well he is really positive and fun to watch.

I agree with this, open and close each video with it on and then edit in the good facial reactions. Love the new background behind you on the cam.

Have you considered recording your talking-head separate? That way you can add and take away as needed in editing.
From what I heard almost all ships got a 1000hp boost to their armor stat. This is why ships seem much more tankier than before as far as I can tell.
Yeah I had the Ai in arena commander fly straight into me, they just exploded and didn't even leave a scratch on the harbinger.
Could you film the face cam on a separate layer, and edit it in post? It'd be a lot easier to choose when you'd want the camera on rather than a keybind
It feels like this update added nothing to the game.
I never look at facecams when I'm watching videos or streams so less face is better for me
i still dont understand peoples issues with the old eva. i used to super man 360 around ships with no helment in space back and forth no issues and never really face planted. you only fell if you were sideways when you tried to enter a ship.

Honestly if this update isn’t what it’s supposed to be, I don’t think I’m coming back to this game
Olli one thing, "mouse smoothing"! please make looking around in FPS less "jerky" by setting mouse smoothing, Thank you :)
Couldnt you record the facecam at all times and only add it where needed in post so you dont have to update it live?
Yep, that A.I. Has definitely improved 👍
it is currently live as i am watching this
It's been so many years without a mini map that I go entire play sessions without realising it's there
Do we really need it for anything Stanton at this point?
I have just about everything memorized. Except the Starfarer.

why don't you make your camera overlay the same as when getting called by someone ingame? more immersive

I really enjoy seeing your reactions especially when you are reacting to new updates etc. Awesome video btw!!
how did he melee finish that enemy at 14:41 ? is that automatic or what? looked cool af
I think its an auto animation for take down.
but it happened so fast its hard to tell.
Middle mouse for take downs.

They better have a perfect launch or not launch at all. they can be late OR buggy. Late AND buggy is 3.18 like.
Still waiting for .23
now i want a pool in my ship in case of aboarding lol ill be invincible
Just record the face cam secretly and then turn it on and off in the editing
When. I cant stop w a i t i n g
I actually like this facecam setup, the greenscreen you're using is really good. I'd just show it always in this format :) It's not disturbing at all
FPS AI has a long way to go... It's pretty bad still... Play Stalker GAMMA a 15 year old game AI that blows away modern games AI.
I prefer immersion mode on at all times
lost your wings? na you just engaged racer mode.
THe ships are tankier as prep for the engineering paatches coming up. try the new engineering modes in arena commander, insane!
Whe need more of these immersive videos
Facecam is ok while on stattion or spaceport but not while flying
at least thats my opinion
I guess you could try and record your cam separately an then decide when you want to show it when editing
Leave your face cam up. Totally fine. You bring a wholesome reaction we can all relate with I think.
