Mind Blown - Star Citizen does it again

The Reclaimer looks really awesome.

get's better and better every video

The videos keep getting better and better, but I am not really feeling it for this game anymore.

Seems like they are biting off way more than they can ever chew. Ambition is never a bad thing in moderate ammounts, but this game is way too ambitious for its own good. If the racing they showed off is any indication of the quality of the rest of the game, no ammount of ship detail will mater when the core mechanics are weaksauce.

I agree, this game smells fishy to me, it's hype levels are getting pretty astronomical, and it's not even close to getting released. I think this has the capacity to implode like no other game or really any media product in history.

so much mis-information.... if I had more energy I would bother.

sort your s*it out.

Meh what we have so far is pretty solid, unless something goes wrong it should be a solid product.

T othose thinking "Hmm graphics are standard cry engine only slightly better... whats the big deal?" ... you have to remember that this will support 75-100 ships in one instance in a large open world, thats just players not A.I / other items / stations whatever.

these ships will range from small to massive, and be multi crew... to give you a sense of scale:

You can see the retaliator on there.... look how tiny it is. the largest player flown one aimed for release is the Idris Frigate. The Bengal Class Carrier *should* feature in the 42 single player campaign as your main HQ .... with tons of NPCs inside.... and activly flying through space.

Every ship has its own physics box so everything in side acts properly. all have different damage states ect.... alrgely custimisable.

Console/PC gamers alike should be looking at projects like THIS... not s*it like destiny, or the order ..... a game with ridiculous graphics , scale and substance.

Is this like an MMO or something?

Thats a great idea. I don't have a strong enough PC to run this game at max setting yet though. I'm also anticipating Elite: Dangerous as the idea of travelling through real life star constellations mapped out by NASA has always been a dream

Both Gue and Herrien are trolls.

Or something

FAQ if you know nothing about Star citizen

Traded in my Taurus, Cutlass and 325A for the Reclaimer.

It's like the Serenity and Nostromo had a love child together. And it's fucking enormous (precisely the ship I wanted).

Am I the only one looking foward to really premium fights more? unless your a full team constantly, it's going to be hard going.

I'm interested, I haven't played a good space combat game since Rogue Squadron 2 on the Gamecube.

Toally agree, one of the best games I have ever bought, only invested in it recently but still it has some of the best game mechanics and ideas ever. Period. Love every part of it.

Symptoms of being a system warrior. Stating the obvious involuntarily.

Yeah pretty much, there are far bigger and far better faster/bigger/powerful ships out there, take what you can and give nothing back, or be a true business man biding by every law and making millions legitimately and legally or take the other route, kill people, take their stuff, hide their wreckage and live a life of crime. Best game ever.

Nevermind, PC only.

my thoughts exactly. Why finish it when people will just continue to throw money at it as long as they say they still need it.

It sounds neat and everything but some of these fuckin PC guys act like its the second coming~ It's cool guys but take it down a notch~

Games not out.....

We have a clan that's going to be running a cargo/salvage business, and already have tons of NPC accounts to crew our ships. I'm looking forward to the persistent universe the most.

What are you talking about? We currently have the dog-fighting module. Completely playable and with constant updates.

It's one thing to call a game fishy when it doesn't release anything. It's quite another to slander a game that IS releasing content and isn't keeping its fans in the dark.

And have a realistic schedule for the release of all their content.

Plus, they have several hundred employees and third party contractors working on the game. They can't release all what they're doing all at once, but we are still two full years away from the "finished" product. We've gone from the Hangar Module to Arena Commander and Murray Cup in the span of maybe 7 months, and they are hoping to have all AC content finished and out by the end of the year. FPS and Planetside will be next year and Squadron 42/PU will be 2016.

Their transparency is why people have so much confidence in the game. And really, people can just wait till it's done to buy in.

That was fucking awesome.

Epic. The game is pushing gaming bounds, hopefully more developers will follow.

This is like a GTA game releasing a "module" where you can drive a car around the parking lot and everyone going nuts over it.

This game is promising multi-crewed capitol ships, intergalactic trade, ground combat, content on the planets, persistent universe etc. etc., and none of those features have been even close to revealed. All you got was the flight module for like 2 or 3 ships or whatever was released until now.

This is Space Sim though . Ship combat is the soul of this game, that was the most important gameplay feature of this game . Other elements are going to make this game even better . If they didn't had as much money as they do now then... Elite Dangerous style game would've been released already . The game will complete its two years of development (including pre production) on October 10th .

2 years are nothing for a game like this (actually 2 games ; Star Citizen and Squadron 42), yet parts of the game are already playable and visual fidelity is nothing but impressive . Campaign is coming next year, MMO beta is coming late next year and Full release of Star Citizen (which will also include already available Single Player game Squadron 42) will release early 2016.

You do realize that Uncharted 4 , which is a linear game, is in development since 2011 right .? And yet it has no release date and closest thing that we got is late 2015 release date assumption . Now compare that to scope of this game . Not going to their site to see what devs are up to or taking parts in alpha and observing the progress yourself, but complaining about the game and calling it "fishy" is pretty biased IMO .

If this game was like any other big game, it wouldnt have even been revealed yet as having existed, thats how low it is on the dev timeline.

We'd probably know Chris Roberts was working on a new game, that would have been pretty hard to hide. We'd know absolutely nothing about it though.

I think what most people and detractors are having trouble understanding, is that this project has the most open and approachable developers of any game ever, an entire forum has been created so as the developers can answer questions from backers, even Chris Roberts answers subscriber questions in a weekly video. There is no NDA everything they show, talk about and release can be spread to everyone else.

We were also promised Arena Commander from the beginning. We got it. CIG has kept every promise they've made about the game. Your concerns truly are baseless.

ZOMGHDSHHDSHJSDHJAHJASDHJADS

Mind is exploded.

After only play NIER and downpour i finally see what a real game is.

Just to add to that, we most likely will not be seeing anything playable till the actual release date for UC4.

yeah, too bad it seems like this game is just never ever going to release

Incoming $2000 PC needed to get this game to look like that.

I guess if graphics are all you have on your platform....you'll showcase it like theres no tomorrow.

Or the any other number of console graphics threads that have been made recently

Fair enough. But I'm sick and wasn't thinking of where I was. This is system wars....so theres going to be graphics contests left and right.

But we both know the only thing anyone talks about when talking about PC is graphics. Even the biggest PC exclusive is nothing but talk about how Star citizen is graphics god.

All I know is that I've talked about actual games with console gamers more than PC gamers. PC gamers do nothing but either bitch about crappy ports, talk about how the graphics are awesome, complain about how the industry doesn't take them seriously, or generally hate on consoles as if it's cool and owning both is not.

Actually I don't know that because it's not true. Although anytime a game is brought up on PC that isn't some graphics heavy weight then there are console fanboys there to say crap like "what's the point of having $500 GPUs if no game uses it" or "spending $2000 on a PC to play crappy indie games" or "lol putting those GTX ### to work." They'll claim gameplay over graphics, while at the same time making a bunch of Digital Foundry comparison threads or X1 vs PS4 resolution/FPS confirmations.

So no, what you said isn't true at all

There's so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to begin.

The majority of the people that talk about Star Citizen do not list graphics as its main attraction. In fact the graphics are more like icing on the cake.

Nice generalizations. Come back when you actually know what you're talking about.

Nope . I've seen more PC gamers talking about gameplays here than console gamers . All you get from console gamers are comments like "Lol , PC games are never hyped" or "Looks like indie trash" whenever someone makes a thread about PC centric title .

Lost can find a thread easily when he wants to.

3 front page threads with graphics related titles (2 of which have almost the same title). all it took was scrolling

Exactly....like how if I had the time or wanted to prove something to someone who wouldn't listen anyway....I could've found like 5 different threads belittling consoles on the first 2 pages while there were no PC belittling threads.

Now theres that one where it says "PC master race...please your PC isn't that great" and if I were to say something about how there are so many many threads about PC gamers belittling cnosole vs the other...every one of them would come back with that 1 example. Before a couple of weeks ago...there were no PC belittling thread as they would get locked...but there were like 5 console belittling threads.

So, I never got a chance to show how the game is tilted here.

@lostrib- again....it's system wars...it's going to be easy to find graphics threads here.

And what do you call that GPUking thread? The one were he just posted a offscreen shot of a face?

The game isn't tilted, your view is just skewed

Also if you're going to tag me in post, do it right

See...the examples are now getting more robust.

A thread claiming victory in graphics is not the same as "Why so many console games flopping?" Where the OP literally states he is trolling at the end.

Threads such as these before 2 weeks or so ago were like 5 or 6 on the first and second page. Threads like "Crysis devs says consoles are weaksauce"....deliberately attacking in the title. Or the fact that there was a "PC has the best games - WiiU has the worst" thread...or the "PC gaming is the best - definitive edition" which was locked after like 40 pages....then reopened in a copy cat thread....and then locked again....only after 20 something pages of non stop belittling and arguing.

The fact that there is 1 deliberate negative PC thread and a couple of positive console threads regarding graphics...now....doesn't change that console gamers get the shaft here.
