Projawa Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 This is one of the reasons I was of the opinion that they should wait until just before the feature was ready to drop on PTS. This thread stands in evidence. Agreed. They always do this to themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atma Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) For it to be worth the hype they have to go the full way and allow the use of a joy stick and offer the same sort of flight sim JTL did. Anything less and they will be setting themselves up for backlash when the reality doesn't live up to the hype and we get a slight upgrade on the flight system they already have which very very few people play. There will be backlash no matter what. I highly, highly doubt this will be a free space simulator like JTL. Probably just some pvp/multiplayer missions. And I'm totally cool with that.

Theodrid Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah, I'm stoked, cant wait until I have to :- pay 1000 CC's to enter pay 1000 CC's for a ship pay 100 CC's per ship mod pay 10 CC's per missile pay 1 CC per laser shot pay 10,000 CC's to customise my ship colour etc As I say, stoked (sorry, in cynical mode today ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laendser Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 It occurred to me: we're going to need a new name for this. We can't call it the Super Secret Space Project anymore... Super Fail Space Disaster - SFSD /endthread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laendser Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Had to watch this trailer a couple of times before it hit me that this is actually happening. Is this real life? I'm crying with happiness. We'll be crying plenty more soon enough. Happiness? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLynkes Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Not quite sure why all these people are jizzing themselves. I can't see anything in that video that looks any different from what we already have. The video tells us nothing. Might be great. Might not. No way to tell even what kind of a thing it is from this.

Phinion Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Didn't really see anything new there. Would want to see more actual gameplay. I mean gameplay that is obviously gameplay and not some cut scene that just happens to look like gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vis-Tecum Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Didn't really see anything new there. Would want to see more actual gameplay. I mean gameplay that is obviously gameplay and not some cut scene that just happens to look like gameplay. all the footage is obviously in game footage developed by bioware on their engine and not some fancy cgi cinematic, that's a big deal. the end strongly suggests actual off rails gameplay not a cut scene, its not a lot to go by info wise but if you have been paying attention to rumors and such the video strongly suggests the sssp is very real and is on its way... soon not much but its more then vague promises that it is in development, a reasonable excitement for this is fully justified Edited September 2, 2013 by Vis-Tecum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambunctious Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Sorry, maybe I am not over-analysing the way everyone else is, but that looked to me like exactly what we already have. I didn't see anything there that looked new. That could have been a teaser for our current space missions as far as I could see. Looked the same to me as well. Just with different ships. That twitch people claim to see is the same thing you get with moving your mouse in the current content. If you don't have full control of your ship like direction, speed, including full stop, yaw, pitch, and roll, then it isn't something that interests me.

Basreia Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 It is not on rails. It is free flight and with different ships because our ships really aren't made for combat. Yes, we go to missions in space to do the tunnel shooter thing, but that is just because they do not have the space xpac out right now. No, there will not be on rails space. Yes, it is free flight, and yes it will come in an expansion pack. Don't get discouraged. I know it's hard not to sometimes, but please remain positive and when it comes it will blow you away. I guarantee that Just wait for more announcements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillCaedes Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Well UNTIL said xpac comes out (if its even an xpac) may I please direct your attention to X:Rebirth? I for one, cannot wait to play that sim. November come faster damn you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have full control of your ship like direction, speed, including full stop, yaw, pitch, and roll, then it isn't something that interests me. You have to purposefully dense to not see this is FREE FLIGHT movement. Even the damn entities used in the code say "free flight." This isn't going to be a full flight simulator for god sakes. Its going to be a very arcade like flight sim that is going to be simple enough to control with a keyboard and mouse. Its obviously PvP oriented combat and bioware isn't going to alienate their very large casual base with some flight scheme that is so complex you need rudders and a flight stick. Why don't you try being objective? How about looking at this as a big step forward in this game? The masses said they wanted free flight combat. Now they are getting it. If you want a FULL space flight simulator go sign up for star citizen. This is a theme park game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No speed changes were evident, and no UI was shown. Until I actually see how it works in person, then I will not give them the benefit of the doubt. They have never shown me any reason to trust them for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordArtemis Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 LOL Lets make sure we cast a negative palor by pointing out that some folks will not find the new feature acceptable. Because naturally we need to be reminded that you can't please everyone. Yes, some folks will likely not like it. Some folks will. Believe it or not, I would bet that most folks are aware of this and do not require being reminded so that some folks can complain about the complainers before they even start complaining..... Oof. Got a cramp from that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObiJuanShenobi Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) This video doesn't tell me anything. Still looks to be an on rails space mission unless bW proves to me otherwise.
