@@srick77373 No, no it hasn't. It wasn't originally supposed to be seamless at all. Entering atmosphere and travelling was supposed to all be done through loading screens.
@@srick77373 no. Actually until 2017ish, SC was supposed to have "LANDING ZONES" (maybe u heard of them) which were concrete places on the planets where you would be able to land to, but these where just small maps, not complete planets.
That demo is not only pretty impressive, it is very solid as well, and there are way more places here instead of just one, plus they never have declared Squadron 42 as feature complete, knowing the game is on polish phase is really important, again, reminding us that the fact that we can see each stage of this development, makes people think it is taking too long, when in fact, this is a perfectly normal development cycle, specially considering all the tech R&D that needed to happen in order to achieve this, plus having Star Citizen being done in parallel with Squadron.
Yeah, the feature complete announcement is A BIG deal! I love the transparency they roll with. It's been a curse at times for them I think, but mostly a good thing
This is not a "perfectly normal development cycle". Fromsoft took both Elden Ring the greatest game ever made and Armored Core 6 from scribbles on a notepad to fully released games in the time it took for CIG to update us with a new SQ42 trailer...5 years weve waited.. juat to watch a trailer.. that's on top of the 6 more years we waited since the Kickstarter launched. This is not called "normal". Don't get me wrong I love this game and I fully expect SQ42 to be amazing but let's call a spade a spade..
@@KamalaChameleon Well i guess calling it long is definitely not wrong, i guess Elden Ring could be called the "closest" in scale of the two you cited, but even that is a stretch, the difference in scope even for Squadron 42 is gigantic, there is nothing that goes to this degree of game in the market i could say right now, and that is the thing, a game being done to this degree of tech is not something you see in decades, you add to that, there is 2 massive projects being done in parallel plus the company being also developed alongside... even 15 years fits pretty understandably, and games that took more than 10 years is nothing unheard of. I'll admit, perfectly normal, is a bit forced considering the time frame, but in no way this game should have been out a long time ago, as it sounds by your comment at least to me right? So observing all the factors at play, this long development time is considerably understandable, and to me, normal, or expected if you prefer.
@baldycornrow Elden Ring is built on the Demon Souls engine, which came out in 2009. So Elden Ring had 14 years of development infrastructure behind it to get to where it is. So yes, long dev times for large games is common.
The alien race : Vanduul at the end of the video, looks so sick....they must have been like more than 8ft tall, maybe 9 to 10 ft tall at least, would be interesting to do fps mission in SQ42 fighting against these savage allien warriors
@@DadPlaysGames yeah I think so, he did the mocap of Vanduul if I am not mistaken. Just imagine doing an fps mission against this badass, they must be pretty tough and can be quite scary in melee range It kind of reminds me of Protoss warrior from Star Craft.
@@rio20d If you watched the old SQ42 trailer ( from 5 years ago), you could see the size of these aliens, they are very tall, and there's scene where one of the Vanduuls used their spear weapon to kill , already wounded human on the floor. I would imagine that these aliens are tough and quite agile in melee combat, it probably could take some punishment before they fall down. They are not your average 9 tails human pirates
Super stacked cast, and I'm really excited. Mark Hammill, Mark Strong, Gary Oldman, John Rhys Davies, Ben Mendehlson, GIllian Anderson, Henry Cavill... it's going to be good. Also, if you get a chance, I would 100% jump into the 'Verse. So much has changed, even just since 2019 when I started playing. Even in the last year, there has been so much progress. It's still buggy at times, but there has been so much improvement and it'd be worth hopping in.
A friend has a bunch of ships apparently and offered to let me experience them so yeah, definitely gonna do that ASAP! Can't wait for the full release but man, I'll be horrible 😅
@@DadPlaysGames Sounds like a blast! Even just hopping in to look at the ships is quite an experience. Now is a good time to have a look too, as they're doing the annual expo where you can come in and see every ship in game over the course of a week, with free rentals. It's always fun.
I think it's going to be a great game to the people who backed it, even those who got fed up waiting (and that's a fair grievance for early backers). For broader audiences the gameplay might feel a bit busy or over complicated if Star Citizen is anything to go by (even with an on-rails campaing). The story might & writing might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I guess we'll find out. They've got a lot of star power, excellent mo-cap & character models though so there's going to be great performances. I'm expecting a healthy serving of 80s/90s sci-fi cheese & I'm here for it. The flight & vehicle mechanics are going to be where the game lives or dies and what differentiates it from other games. It needs to cater to lots of control schemes and be deep enough to offer challenges to people with multi-thousand dollar sim-pits but also accessible and fun for everyone. It's a tall order, but they've got time.
Oh crap! Didn't notice when I edited and looked through it. The crackling is likely my pc being happy to playback 4k but not so much to record it too, I'd guess. Hopefully it can be enjoyed despite it. No way to redo a reaction after all 😅
On my work laptop. It's pretty decent (32GB RAM, gen 10 i7, Quadro T2000 GPU) but yeah, I didn't realise it'd struggle with OBS and a 4K RUclips video 😮💨 and didn't notice when I cut out some silence in the beginning. You'd think I'd have the process down after 25 reactions recorded on my other channel but no, still mess up stupid things from time to time 😅 just a few weeks ago, I forgot to record the audio of the thing I was reacting to and had to manually sync it up, pauses and skip backs for example. Hopefully it could be somewhat enjoyed anyway!
SQ42 was delayed to due the planet tech, where you could fly down to a planet seemlessly, which they wanted to incorporate into SQ42.
Makes sense. And having seen the demos of that; WOW! Worth it!
What are you talking about? That's been in since first conception.
@@srick77373they needed to refine it, if you look at the old planet tech vs what we have now it’s night and day

Yeah! Way bigger than I remember and thoroughly impressive!

Your mic died when you put the video on 4K

Maybe some captions could be used? =p
Good idea! I'll try to create some
@@DadPlaysGames please let me know if you succeed, it was hard to hear what you were saying at a lot of points.
@stegy247 yeah, I'm annoyed I didn't notice it 😮💨 also don't think my audio ducking in oba is working properly for some reason 🤦
Watch the starengine demo if you haven’t already!
It was how I realised I hadn't watched this one yet actually 😊 watched a recap of Citizencon afterwards too 😅
Instant buy if it gets upgraded to VR
Remember seeing VR mods years ago, that worked well, so hopefully not too far fetched of a dream!
It should support head tracking hardware and software via webcam.
They have mentioned that they will add it in the future once Vulcan and Gen 12 rendering are fully implemented
Are you watching on a macbook your stutters are real
