stop spouting bs. they said they are researching the possibility of it.
"The new $40 million stretch goal would add a procedural generation R&D team for “creating entire planets worth of exploration and development content.”
"Roberts goes on to say the $40 million goal would allow Cloud Imperium to allocate funding to develop procedural generation technology for future iterations of Star Citizen. To do this, the studio needs a “special strike team of procedural generation-oriented developers” to make the technology a reality."
basically dont expect anything along these lines any time soon. it might never come. its simply R and D
@TheFadeForever: That would make no sense, how can you just fly a giant cruisers around a planet.
My point is , is the game gonna render ships with millions of polygons while being in a dense city.
Far as I know yes there doing procedural generation to make it possible for atmospheric flight and terrain exploration. Whether there a ship limit I don't know
“Among the most common feature requests for Star Citizen are atmospheric combat and ground exploration. These are the single biggest things we would like to include in the game, but they’re also something we know we can’t have day one. Our universe is a big place, and creating the hundreds of existing landouts properly is enough of a challenge… building entire continents and atmospheres in the current system would take a lifetime.
“That’s where procedural generation comes in. If we can develop a truly great procedural generation system, one that lets us create entire planets for you to populate.

There already limited atmospheric flight in SC the procedural generation is to make the planet fully explorable and fly around instead of being restrictive. How do you think ship are going land on the city.
I think people are stuck in the past, were at a point now in gaming, that gameplay visuals are now at the point of CGI, CGI will no longer even exist as a standalone in the coming years, looking at that trailer and games like Star Citizen, it will just be seamless
We are closer than ever
Yes we are I mean even take the PS4s The Order and even Uncharted 4 there made without even CGI cutscene's and are good enough with just their in game engines, I mean that's how far we've come on just consoles, let alone what a 4K gaming rig will be, I mean in the next few years I honestly believe at least the enviroments will be pretty much near life like, you'll have to look a few times to tell the difference, I honestly cannot wait.
Of course pc is going to achieve real life graphics in the upcoming years
I don't get what you're trying to accomplish Herr at sw.
All your posts try to say how consoles will finally surpass PC in gfx after three entire gens....with zero proof.
Its comical.
the situation is mostly the same every generation. new consoles come out, have the best looking games for 1 to 3 years before some heavy hitting pc game eventually comes out. last gen it was crysis. this gen tho who knows. now that pc games development is nothing more than ports developers couldnt give 2 shits about(probly only done in the first place because of publisher mandate) that are optimized just enough to make sure they dont crash every 15 minutes(sometimes not even this), and low budget games by developers not talented enough to produce something that would ever get funding for a console release(hello steam bargain bin.) this gen it all rests on either multiplatform game developers actually producing something better than the first party console exclusives or star citizen delivering on the hype. we shall see.

The situation is mostly the same every new generation, new consoles came out and packed the most powerful and fastest hardware on the planet inside them which enabled them have the best looking games for 1 to 3 years.
BUT... they didn't come out with the most powerful and fastest hardware on the planet this time around did they?
This is the first time on console history that the next generation of consoles have released without the best and fastest hardware available and because of this PC has the leg up on graphics from the get go and the gap will only get wider.
Can you imagine if PS3 didn't launch with the at the time one of the fastest PC GPU's available at the time? Imagine if it had shipped with a mid-range 7600GT instead of the 7800GTX? Man that would of been ugly and that's EXACTLY what's happened this time around.
And with both next generation machines running bog standard x86 architectures and off the shelf PC GPU's even porting them over to PC is going to be faster then ever, and with the cost of game development going up and up developers will have to start spreading across all available platforms to increase revenue to ensure they stay in business. Heck even the optimisations they make for the consoles should port straight over to PC, chuck in Mantle and DX12 and PC has a VERY bright future.
and yet the quality of porting hasnt improved has it? nope it just continues to decline and thats never going to change.
high end pc hardware is faster than ps4 but the games dont look better yet. a highend pc is like a ferrarri driving in LA city traffic. you can brag all you want about how fast your car is, but in the end your not going to do much to outpace the jetta next to you. a ps4 is like a corvette on a track.

The absolutely worse analogy I have ever read. I just can't believe the absurdity Cows are spewing this gen, to think they think that there are games available on the PS4 that look better than games on PC. Please list them and I dare you to say UC.
@m3dude1: Why. Console gaming is like a yugo on a track considering my 300 dollar gpu triples your PS4's performance. Just stop it man. We all know how the cycle goes.
Consoles slightly match PC gaming in the first year and cows get cocky af. Then, they start dropping off after 1 or 2 years and you claim devs are learning how to optimize. For the next 3 years, PC's completely destroy consoles and you just keep hyping the "next gen" consoles, thinking the trend will be any different.

If PS4 is on a track then PC is also on a track.... Moron
I'll stick to my £280 GPU and play all my games the way developers meant them to be played...i.e.. not a blurry, 30fps sub-HD mess full of aliasing.
