I promised myself I wouldn't engage in tomfoolery, but you are someone who needs to be put in their place. You come back here because you're Wulf Knight; a WHALE of a Citizen to the tune of $22,000 (most definitely more today). You're infamous for be banned from RSI forums for hacking their system to buy a Javelin Destroyer. Yeah, you're "that guy." You have a lot of money invested in this game. So any slight against it goes beyond simple emotional attachment. It's a side business on the gray market.

By your logic, I must be the Wulf Knight too??

Trump will probably win the popular vote but she'll end up winning the electoral vote.

the only votes Trump will win is the middle aged white non-collage educated vote and the xenophobia raciest vote.

Clinton had more total votes just for herself in the primaries than what Trump & Cruze combined. She has the white vote, she has the Latino vote and she has the black vote. She has the woman vote and she has the LGBQ QRXT(whatever) vote. If she can get all of those groups out to the polls in November, she will destroy Trump in both the electoral vote as well as the popular vote hands down. That's why the down ballot republicans are running scared ...

Can someone actually explain the Titan to me? I don't get it.

According to videocardbenchmark, the TitanX has a lower G3D Mark score than the 980ti, but is over 3x the cost.

the titan series of cards are geared more for the content creators, the graphic artist, or the power needed for graphical rendering. It is really not marketed nor designed as the ultimate gaming/gamer card, never has been.

And until Destiny (Glorious mess that it is), Bungie's derivative B grade Sci-fi was still better than valve or anyone else's attempt at a coherent narrative. Destiny's mechanics, character and level design is still best in class though so hopefully the rest of that game can catch up.

Have you ever played Half Life? HL2? Wolfenstein: New Order? Warframe? Hell, have you played Destiny? I mean coherent narrative B grade sci-fi? You are kiddin right?

Ive played Destiny since launch and have both exp. and I couldn't tell you a coherent narrative from anything INGAME. I have yet to even look at the grimoire cards because the all-mighty bungie can at least tell some sort of coherent narrative ingame ... right?

Anybody that wanted to play Destiny, most likely already did on the consoles.
I don't see the point of releasing this game on the PC years after it's initial release.
Just keep your pocket change Bungie and erect a few more DLC instead of half assed pc port. It will probably be more profitable

Realistically they have moved on to full development of Destiny 2 and after the launch of this DLC (which will no doubt be retail 39.99) you'll start to see a shift in marketing to announce Destiny 2. So bringing Destiny 1 to the PC market would be pointless as they are well into their 10 year life-cycle which of course they never said 10 years in one game but multiple Destiny titles.

"It has already been confirmed by Bungie that a team from the company is already working on "Destiny 2." It was initially planned to be released this year; however, for some reason the release date target has been moved to 2017. According to PC Advisor, the reason for the delay is the development of the "Rise of Iron" DLC, which promises to be an exciting expansion for the current game."

I LOVE Warframe, but the whole PvP aspect I don't care for. This "football" thing seems a bit silly, wish they'd focus their efforts elsewhere.

more like a mix between Jai-Alai, and lacrosse. Also their focus elsewhere is coming a bit later in the summer called the war within.

12 million sold, yep, I`m sure nobody plays it.

12 million copies shipped not sold . . . EA wont give up the true sold thru numbers and there's a reason why . . . shareholders

Do you not know how retail works?

yes, was in retail for 13 years, ship thru and sold thru are different terms for different reasons. Sold thru (or "sold in") are sales number for actual SKUs sold to customers, the actual sale of the title from retailer to the consumer. Shipped through is what EA (or any distributor) ships out of there warehouses to the retailer (GameStop, Target, BestBuy, etc.). A retailer can actually send titles BACK to the distributor that they do not sell thru for a refund from the distributor (EA). The KEY wording from shareholder reporting or any PR firm are "sold through" or "sold in" vs. "shipped through" ... normally when a company uses the term "Shipped Thru" its a term of deflection to inflate their numbers over what was actually sold thru.

Here is a quick explanation or the two terms:

http://www.asymco.com/2012/05/28/shipped-and-sold-a-brief-introduction/

so i turn it back to you, do YOU know how retail works? Don't buy into PR release numbers, watch for the terminology they use to spin the announcement to their favor, and most the time its for the appeasement of shareholders as its sounds much better to a share holder to read that your investment shipped through 15 million units vs. we only sold through (sold in) 5 million units.

They both look slow and clumsy compared to T1.
T3 really was promising in its beta phase, but then at release they decided to slow it down massively. What a failure.

Midair so far has the speed and control feel of Tribes 2, and by T3 you mean Tribes Vengeance, that was a failure from conception and from the developers who made it. I was in from ALPHA to release and raised so many flag about the avenue that they took, but that's for another debate it was a reason they only sold (not pirated) around 47,000 copies of that game.

If you're looking for a true tribes spiritual successor then you should check out MidAir, a game that just got steam green lighted and is made by members of the Tribes community. it looks very promising if you are a vet. T1/T2 player.

Ahmm... there are less people playing all the above combined than in Flint.

39K was the total of SWBF on all platforms, PC, XB1, and ps4. There are about 79K people living in Flint.

Basically I was stating that a game that was suppose to have sold shipped through a number of copies in the upper 15 million mark has less people playing it in total than a major city in steep population decline. It's just a statement that SWBF is shittier to play than to live in Flint MI at this point.

there are less people playing BF (total on all platforms ... Total: 38,521) than people that live in the city of Flint Michigan one of America's most abandoned city.

I'm sorry but based on the player count from release to now ... discounted or not ... the player count on all 3 platforms have never topped over 300K ... I call bullshit.

and also the fact that it's not EA themselves coming out to announce this is another red flag. If battlefront sold close to any of those numbers you would be damn sure EA would be the first out the gate to praise this.

It looks better in real-time when they land on the planet.

How come that video is a lot choppier than the trailer. I'm guessing because that trailer is prerender, even though they're saying it's not.

You can tell it's not pre-rendered by the live demo. It might not be as high in frame rate (choppy looking) because it was from their live stream and I'm not sure they were filming streaming in 60FPS so you could be seeing studding from youtube more than the actual game. Where as the movie was captured from a direct feed and recorded at a higher frame rate.

They were also using a office computer and not a beast of a gaming rig running the demo within the Crysis editor.

I admit they show an impressive ability to continue to rake funds in, but it's a zero sum game and that money will dry up sooner than later. The game is still years off.

You may have run your own numbers, but again thats just your estiments with no real numbers to back up your speculations. Also what keeps getting omitted are the un named funds we dont know about that CIG does not disclose to the public.

I think it would come off different if you were to say ...

Im guesstimating at numbers, or based on my past dealings in the game development world that I believe that they might run out of money ...

but stating you believe they will run out of funds before they can finish the game as a factual statement is disingenuous. Because again the general public just doesn't have a clue about their financial situation.

Edit: id also speculate that CR himself would fund parts of the game himself based on his enthusiasm that he seems to truly demonstrate about the game before he would just let it die. But that part is just my speculations, he could be in it just for the money, but id say he s already well off.

Man they've poured so much work in to this scam they may as well just go ahead and make a game out of it, pfft...

I think they should continue to take people's money and then after its all said and done release something for people to play. I mean .. why not, they all have private islands and yachts for themselves by now anyways /sarcasm

In all seriousness for 3 years of development time they have produced some amazing visuals and tech to go along with this title, and I don't care what anybody says if this pushes PC developers (as well as gpu development) in a new directions of fidelity and gameplay just like titles in the past, the example being what unreal or crysis did for the pc in terms of pushing raw power of game design and fidelity, then that's a win win for any PC gamer

... However, I don't think RSI will ever be able to deliver what they promised: 100 fully realized systems, and 100-player instances. They'll run out of money before then.

If an MMO or whatever you may call StarCitizen stops development after 2016 then yes you could say it was a failure and everyone who backed it were suckers .. bla bla bla, but to say "they will run out of money" is just an ignorant thing to say. And by that I mean, we (the general public) don't have a clue about CIGs finances and to pretend we do is just speculation. The public has no idea beyond the backer money ticker on their web site of what back door deals CIG has with private contributors, or space whales as I've seen thrown around, which CR has already said he has money coming in from other un-named sources.

I just think its funny when DS puts out his analyses of what he thinks will happen it's always so vague and contrived that anyone with a crystal ball can spout out as "truths" and if they don't come true then they just changes their tune to something else and then says .. see , this came true so I was right all along!. It's all contrived BS that he and everyone like him is trying to shout as loud as they can to say , see I was right ... personally I think its pure jealousy because he can't do what other developers have so his only fall back is to smear them down to his level ... but in the long term they are proven quite wrong with CIGs recent releases.

oh and since it must mean something here, I have no stake in StarCitizen but some of these "truths" and "facts" are just dumbfounded, because no one but the top employees know anything about their actual financial situation(s), good or bad, and no one will until they close up shop or deliver a product 1, 2, or even 3 years from now.

Oh and another thing I see floating around is that SC has been in DEV for 5 years, another falsehood. For them to deliver what they have in 3 short years of game development is quite impressive from a developer standpoint being a developer myself (not in game design).

not sure what you're arguing. the combined stats on the 3 platforms that this game exists on is around 115,000 players currently playing the game. That's a lot of people. and PC is almost always %10-15 of that pie chart in any game.

115K player base on all three platforms is not a lot of players, it's also spread out over 3 platforms that can't interact with each other. Basing that amount on say a current stat of 121,479 players playing a game like Fallout 4 on just the PC platform alone. I mean where are the millions of players that EA claims they sold in copies? under the tree for xmas?

The players base for battlefront over the last month has fallen about 150K over all three platforms. Its losing players faster than Titanfall did. That was my point, the number don't lie and the player base has spoken by not even showing up or by simply leaving.
