Star Citizen

[Leshma]

Though SC will have procedural stuff too at some point.

Star Citizen is being built with procedural content in mind, because every prop you see is made to be a building block like Lego which will speed up design process a lot (most studios do that these days, too expensive to create new prop every time you want to create a building or area). Procedural in SC will be all about finding a way how to meaningfully combine those blocks automatically (without human designer intervention). To create something that isn't far from human assembled cities. When they reach that level of quality, they will implement manual landing to planets.

Anyone, even grad students can create procedural planets. But stations and other stuff is basically copied all over the place. Both games will need same kind of tech for planetary objects, cities etc. Elite will start with mostly deserted moons which will over time grow to huge cities. They may seem to be in front of SC in that department but I don't think they have the tech Roberts is asking for.

oh, dont worry Leshma. I just know how to annoy Xant very well: jump into a discussion, post right after him, ignore what he said, write something loosely related and possibly contrary and watch Xant rant.

Trolling mission accompished .

Sorry. Coulndt resist. Was a long time.

I am off playing Boredom Deluxe and having some fun there 

Cheers.
And enjoy Star Citizen as well. It will be a blast of a game when ready. Shure.

and, whats mindkeel???

Yes, good job, I was extremely upset and posting in my serious tone, I always call people silly ass motherfuckers when I'm really angry. What a mission, what an accomplishment.

I believe I've mentioned this before but once more...

Comparing Elite and SC doesn't really make sense. Both are a in space with space ships - end of similarities.

Unfortunately Elite is more and more developed into the EVE direction which I personally despise.

That's like saying Star Wars and Star Trek is not the exact same thing.

[Xant]

Elite is very much trying to be SC.

Back in the day when Elite was just getting crowdfunded, Chris Roberts said he didn't mind supporting the project as the two games are very different.

After that, Elite has been steadily announcing exact same features as SC.

I think SC is going about it way better, though, they're building shit from the ground up, instead of doing the Elite thing of quickly patching together a boring universe and some basic flight mechanics and then releasing it.

PS Siiem do you want to cyber with me in the social module?

[Molly]

Hmm... the more I read you writing about Elite, the stronger gets my impression that you haven't actually played it.

Besides, planetary landing was already mentioned in the Kickstarter campaign of Elite as paid DLC...

...meaning that - to the best of my knowledge - they haven't yet announced or released anything that wasn't mentioned during the crowdfunding time.

[Xant]

Who was talking about planetary landing, besides you just now?

[Molly]

...just edited it for clarification.

[Xant]

So you say, Molly, so you say.

[Molly]

Just now, I am actually not sure about that PvP arena part they released...

...planetary landing was mentioned tho. That I do know and that seems to me the biggest similarity point of the two games.
But then, No Man's Sky is doing it too.

My best guess: They are all coming to that now cuz the generally available hardware is finally able to actually do that feature.

Elite is nothing like EVE. Neither is Star Citizen. EVE is player driven economy and it is fully PvP game, while both Elite and Star Citizen are very much influenced by AI. Maybe you meant something else as similarity between EVE and Elite, but this is major difference.

[Vibe]

yeah wot, where'd you get those similarities

Space sim games that have identical themes. It's almost like two different FPS games with guns in BOTH of them.

Man, get the fuck outta here Siiem, bet you don't even have a real pledge (100+ dollars).

Fucking pleb.
