Star Citizen SQ42 teaser trailer! Dat Ship Destruction! Dat Particle Effect! Not for Casuals!

I heard people were being disconnected from the servers a lot so i would rather play when they fix the server problem.

Just watch some dude test playing and the doors wouldn't load and the game would crash when the player would look at them? Then the game crashed when he tried to fly a ship. He got about 5 feet off the floor and the game shit the bed. "Not a corridor game" you're right; it isn't a game at all, it's a joke. PC gaming is a joke.

@Pray_to_me: that why they had 1000 PPl testing the game right now. And what ? Never seen any thing like that.

Its time consuming to wait for the court to even decide to accept the case. Defamation case in journalism are difficult to win the US.

Hey guys I'm going to continue posting more gameplay videos

Man does that look fun even the aiming looks smooth and easy

This game might actually challenge The Order for graphics king

Awww poor gpuking is so embarrassed that now he uses a new alt just to post comment.

You need better things to fill out your day friend lol, the delusion of me creating alts conjured by you and a few other hermits is down right embarrassing. Oh and the gameplay model looked far worse than that Hamilton cutscene.

@gpuking: You realize those are just temporary placeholder in a alpha build. There making it where we can create how our character look not give us pre made ones. Hamilton model will be in Sq42 and also most Npc in UC4 gameplay don't look nearly as good as drake in the cutscene so yeah. You certainly didn't mind talking about his model even before UC4 gameplay was released.

most NPC in UC4 do look as good as Drake. Check Sully, Sam, Elena and a few others.

Awww dat desperation. Don't worry, one day Consoles will get better graphics despite having an inferior hardware, because Magic is real.

@gpuking: when in cutscene lol those crowd of Npc in the gameplay sure as hell didn't lol

Exactly... Not to mention, they are still working on the models and Hamill's model already looks a lot better than Gary Oldman's at Citizen Con, which also looked great. And as you said, what we are playing right now is alpha build with placeholder characters.

... Wait what? The developer is too busy? I wasn't aware their coders were also lawyers as well, here I thought companies had their own crew of lawyers or hired a firm to handle legal issues.. And.. No that is wrong.. You can sue for damages of reputation of both the company and the product, and they would be forced to bring down their article on top of that.... You say "they don't have enough time" yet they almost immediately released a very specific set of demands to the Escapist and told them they had 24 hours to comply before legal action would occur..

Not if you provide direct evidence on the contrary that disproves their supposed sources to a T.... But that would have their entire organization combed through with a fine comb, and to this point I am not sure CIG exactly wants that.. Some of the accusations are a little to specific to be called bullshit to begin with.. Who knows, it may all be bullshit, but based on that article and CIG's handling of it.. I am going to wait for a full version of the game to release before I decide to pay for the said product..

.The amendment of freedom of speech makes it difficult to win libel cases. Only 13% are ever successful and it is hard to find lawyers to take up such cases. You really think it was that easy when burden of proof is high. CIG would have to also have to prove the article intent was meant to cause damage. They already said they are talking to their lawyers about legal action so the lawyer will have to decide if they want to go through with such lawsuits.

Man, this is looking better than ever. Just found couple of videos; Sound effects, destructible components, sparks inside ship after taking damage, explosions, random encounters and so on. Looking very impressive for Alpha.

Cool will put in post

But but tech demo

SC has more gameplay conten than all ps4 movi...i mean exclusives combined.

"But I was going in to Toshi station to pick up some power conveeeeerters!!"

Damn. Despite the lack of classic Hamill whine, this is looking pretty damn good. All of those vids are. I don't get these people that say all this game is is a bunch of broken modules that barely work. It looks to be progressing quite well. Hopefully we'll see Sq. 42 next year, but I've a feeling it'll more than likely hit a delay. Wouldn't Derek Smart love for that to happen.

Won't be surprised if Sq42 sees delay but won't mind it if it means better end product.

I will probably be buying this game next week when my new PC arrives in the mail. :) My GTX 970 should easily breeze through this.

This and the Elite Dangerous Horizons beta will take up plenty of my time. It's a good time to be a space sim fan.

Just got my invite to the PTU for 2.0 testing, Can't wait to have a go later on today :)

look, learn your shit before mouthing off.

Most games that aim for these kind of things (Star Citizen / Uncharted) have "Tier 1 characters" ... Drake, Skully and whatever female sexual idol they have this time.... are all Tier 1 characters... and probably the main villian. These characters take MONTHS each of development time to create. Another example is RISE ... one of the leader character designers from Crytek who did the RiSE characters works on Star Citizen and explained this in an interview in detail. The main character of RISE took 9 months of solid development ALONE. THAT is the kind of attention Drake/skull and main actors get. Tier 2 ones... like the ... oh wait, there is no enemy variety or NPCs in Uncharted.... so they literally got the whole 5 years to work on one characters... hah.

Hammill and Oldman ... are FAR shorter times. along with the other 15 odd tier 1 characters. Players and NPCs in the PU will likely be Tier 2. and still look great. but the current ones are complete and utter placeholders since the character creator system comes after the tier 1 polish.

There is nothing impressive about a tiny TPS corridor shooter with a 5 character cast.... they spend the majority of their resources obsessing over them to the point where, it's just not a good comparison. E.G ... "200 pcik up animations" for drake is f*cking pathetic to brag about ....

Have fun!

Anyway time for some more gameplay vids:

Physics Grid Demo

Alien craft (human modified) destroying a Constellation

Basic look at Early FPS EVA action:

Full multicrew vid (not best quality, and he sticks around on the unfinished monitor too much..... but a good idea of how awesome this tech is when it will be polished).

inb4 some peasant muppet says "omg bugs" .... yes... there are bugs in a true alpha well done!

until they show me the working open galaxy economy actually working I wont be sold. I'm glad a lot of people are enthusiastic about the game though.

@TheFadeForever: Whoaaaaa! Two whole black people! Did you see that snide ass look and remark about that black guys outfit, she hates everything black, she hates the night sky cause its black.

They said the SQ42 will be episodic so they could get the game out by next year

Squadron 42 is not episodic. The original plan was to release Squadron 42 in five parts like The Walking Dead, and then released two expansions for the game called Behind Enemy Lines and [insert title here].

New plan is to release entire Squadron 42 as one game and not in parts. So, Squadron 42 that you will get next year will be full game, with 50+ missions (original plan was to release 10 missions with each episode).

And now, the two expansions Behind Enemy Lines and Third unannounced expansion have been turned into full fledged games. And since it'll be odd to call them Squadron 42 2 and Squadron 42 3, they are calling them Squadron 42 episode 2 and Squadron 42 episode 3. It confuses people that they are releasing Squadron 42 in episodes, but they are not.

They are just calling its sequels episode 2 and 3, like Star Wars Ep 4,5 and 6. The entire trilogy will be like Mass Effect 1,2 and 3 (3 standalone games).
