PAX Australia Livestream - 10.00am Saturday morning

[TeaLeaf]

Just a reminder that the livestream kicks off at 10.00am UK time this morning.  The plan is that RSI will reveal the FPS module and apparently have a few special announcements as well, which ties up neatly with JT's post about the Gladius and the Redeemer I'm guessing!

Not getting much here in Maastricht. Aussie Internet cables being a little stressed by the additional 500k video connections? I seriously hope they do a single stream to the US and broadcast from there and not Oz

Well that went well. Lasted all of 2 minutes before the feed went down :sideways:

Lack of bandwidth........is killing me!   We need to exterminate more kangaroos and sew their tails together to form a better & more resilient connection.

At this stage it would be faster to do packet transfer by plane ;-)

Epic fail, not enough trophies sold!

Seems to be streaming fine now, all problems solved, although 'roos seem slightly less prevalent than they were for some reason.... :whistle:

[TeaLeaf]

FPS should be a more thoughtful, tactical experience, with consequences for your actions

That made my day. :thumbsup::dmw:

Ok the visuals are beautiful! I'm impressed.

Their version of 'head bob' is *way* better.

[TeaLeaf]

Weapons look better already than BF4 weapons.

[Galatoni]

Haven't seen it yet. Already excited by your comments. :-D

IllFonic are officially confirmed as the [REDACTED] developer - as revealed on Reddit and other sites many months ago.  Star Citizen is their 6th Cry engine project.  There's a  nice article about them here:

They've also in the past worked on the 'Ruby tech' with AMD (which I believe is now known as TressFX Hair), it works particularly with AMD cards obviously (nVidia currently struggle with it) and the early demo pictures are worth a look if you missed them last year.

When I upgrade my current 2 x GTX770 SLI configuration in preparation for launch, I'll therefore be strongly considering AMD replacements!

Feed is up and down but what I've seen so far is very, very impressive. If I were to give the Arma developers a wishlist for Arma 4 then it would consist of the things Illfonic have done for SC's FPS.

Agreed, that demo they just ran was spectacular and it's still 4-5 months from pre-alpha release!   Drop Dead Gorgeous.

To [NSFW] quote CR as he described it just now:

Completely ****ing awesome

I'd have to agree! :biggrin:
