This is all very "cart before the horse" to me.
This facial stuff seems like something that sounds cool on paper, but uh not so much the actual execution.
Indeed.

Seems fun when you want to go full RP.

The walking animation is awful.

I really hope all these loosely lashed together tech demos come together into something that's worth playing, the pitch (even, or, especially with, all the expansions and additions added as the funding exploded) is pretty much my dream game. I don't think I've seen a single presentation or live stream from them that's actually inspired confidence in me about a full product coming together, though. Shown off some cool looking things, sure, but that's not the same.
So true ahahaha

Is this woman player a stand-in for the audience's thoughts.

I cant watch this. It would be ok to hear just Chris, but banter is...on another level.
I'm a huge Star Citizen fan of what they're doing but holy fuck this dialogue is like the Anthem reveal but 2x worse.
Yea it's pretty appalling, good god.

This is probably one of the worst scripted banter segment I've ever seen.

How come the characters don't have any shadows?
How will the servers cope with the added facial capture data that has to be sent out to every near client when it can barely hold steady in a closed local server? Everything the production does is mind boggling sometimes and doesn't feel like they are following best practices at all.

It's pretty impressive how stuff they already have could release in 2 years and still be ahead of the curve in plenty of areas. They need to chill out a bit with being so cutting edge though.
The difference is : it's live and they perfectly now it sounds awful.
Even Chris said "silly live banter" earlier.
It's just silly. But the tech seems fun. At least the head movement functionality is cool.
I'm watching for the tech because it's mindbloggling the scope, but it's hard to watch that when you have "haha cringe dialogue" the entire time.
Ya, they needed to do it to show off the tech. I hate it personally, but I can forgive it because the tech is pretty cool.

so fucking clear they are a long way away from ever getting this done.
If they make a galaxy that looks like this and works eventually they can have as much time as they want.
Sorry but no one is taking the space spreadsheets crown of us EVE online players.
what do you base that on really? Not that I dont believe you but what they have shown doesnt show that they are long way to go imo.
It looks like it's all hanging by a thread.
Is this game still supposed to be an MMO? When are they going to show off the massively part of the equation?

Damn fine production design. I think newer stuff might even clash with the earliest designs. It's almost "sequel-that-improved-the-art-direction-from-the-ground-up" different.
everything is better with some orange here and there.

Just started watching. Is this some prerecorded thing that Chris is trying to portray as a live demo? This looks and sounds so scripted.
