But while I haven't backed the project and have no intention of doing so, that doesn't mean I don't care about the game or want to see it fail.I'll even come in and defend CIG on this one and I'm one of the biggest criticisers in this thread. Moreso because I feel they are more marketing and hype than actual useful information about the games progress and development and so add little value to the project. I can understand why they are doing it.but at the same time I simply want the game and while I know there is a continuing need for funding and that the dev time used in such aspects is minor, I still resent the distraction the videos represent. this is marketing masquerading as "transparency".which IMO is the answer to Takhisis' question.Ģ.it looks to me like CIG are prioritising unimportant aspects which can provide high impact marketing opportunities. We DO have another HG.just one that is more open about their desire to prioritise ship sales over game development, one which is over twenty times larger and one with at least ten times the budget.ġ. NMS shows the problems with a publisher.HG were forced to release an incomplete game at an overinflated price.īut it also shows up CIG in a bad light.HGs 4-16 devs were able to do what CIGs 400 have not done and were able to do so in less time, with less money and have gone on to expand the game and patch away many of the issues.ĭo we want another HG? The big problem with NMS is that it overhyped itself, it underdelivered and it was released at a price point far above what it deserved.ĬIG are currently overhyping SC, they have underdelivered to date, and there are people have essentially paid thousands of dollars for the game. Yes.HG were pressured into doing so by Sony.īut HG were a small 16 (at most) man team that in 3 years of development managed to create a bespoke engine for their game, develop their own graphical assets, develop their own game and release it with 2 million or so copies sold. They're sharing their marketing ads.Īs for Hello Games.yes. It hypes old tech as new and seems to be encouraging CIG to prioritise the development of non essential systems of low importance rather than the critical technologies the game still requires because of the perceived ability to hype it up. It isn't intended to inform so much as to keep us excited about a project that is showing little sign of progress, is experiencing huge delays, and has so far delivered little. I'm complaining that the "transparency" isn't really that transparent because its focus is marketing, and not keeping us up to date. You're literally complaining that they're sharing their development with everyone.
