Star Citizen 'Star Marine' FPS Module Delayed, Not Up To Their Standards Yet

Unfortunately it looks similar the upcoming FPS module in Star Citizen, Star Marine, is going to be delayed. Originally it was going to exist released erstwhile after PAX East, though it seems that it doesn't quite encounter the strict standards imposed past the Star Citizen crew, then will have to be delayed.

Chris Roberts explained why the Star Citizen FPS module, Star Marine, has to be delayed. Backend netcode and other technical difficulties plague the current build.

Despite the polish demo at PAX East, Star Citizen's FPS has seen a number of challenges that have prevented it from entering the playable module stage. They have very high standards for entering the open up alpha/beta, and information technology just didn't quite meet those standards.

Mostly these are technical issues that prevent smooth gameplay and the player from even connecting to servers. Like many multiplayer games, the netcode just wasn't up to the task. This mean having to develop their ain novel mechanism that they call their Generic Instance Manager (GIM).

The tl;dr is that we feel the electric current build doesn't feel similar it lives up to the standards we've want to achieve with Star Denizen. There are several issues that will demand boosted time in order to deliver the outset iteration of the gameplay we want you lot to feel. The challenges facing the FPS launch are a mix of technical blockers and gameplay issues. The almost significant technical hurdle faced today is the networking backend.

The GIM in addition to their homemade matchmaking system and something they call the Phoenix dynamic environment system should prove to make the online experience far more enjoyable and playable for everyone. Even if you're connectedness isn't necessarily and then fast. Phoenix is a method of duplicating server data and creating those servers via VM'south in a rapid fashion for the testing of their Public Exam Universe environments.

In order to provide an first-class feel, they have to create things from scratch, which takes a lot of fourth dimension to do correctly.

Chris Robert'south also stresses that they want to get the experience right, and so that when it's bachelor to the public it looks and actuallyfeels like it should be a part of the huge vision of Star Citizen. A lot of piece of work is being put into the modest details of the maps. And of course the character animations aren't simply atypical programmed movements, these represent existent-world activities and are hard to implement.

Like it or not, we know that with Star Marine we need to release a build that at the very least shows people where we want to become and not simply what nosotros were able to practise earlier a clock ran out.

The filibuster has no effect on the rest of the development, with just 15% working on Star Marine. The remainder of the team is hard at work helping to realize the other portions of the game. It seems that they want the alpha module to be more than merely playable, as Arena Commander was. They want this to truly correspond the greater dream they're trying to create.

Delays are certainly annoying, particularly when promises have been made and copious amounts of money have been given to them, but I even so feel that they are trying to requite the states as much as possible for the dollars (and Euros) that nosotros've all spent. The promises are loftier, and with that come up technical challenges that no other game has really experienced. Thankfully the open communication mode and community involvement take helped to increment public confidence in them actually completing what they sought to do.
