Star Citizen Announcement Trailer

So the game will be like WC-Privateer and similar to Egosofts X space games.

You are not just a fighting pilot you can also be a pirate merchant etc etc

Paul Steed reference on 00:11.. RIP Paul.

Ty Chris Roberts..

I know haters are gonna hate, an this game is still a long way off, but I can't really see why people are loving this announcement trailer, sure it's great that Chris Roberts is coming back to PC, but the trailer itself is a fairly generic video of some spaceships flying about not doing a whole lot, an in it's current state this is NOT in any way pushing the limits of the platform, I'm sure it will look fantastic in two years, but this is just a pre-rendered video trailer, not in game, so stop saying OMG there is frame rate issues with the video cos it requires super computers that aren't available yet! Anyway, hope it turns out great, but I think people are already going overboard cos of the whole 'it's going to test the limits of the platform' thing.

long i have yearn for a first person space shooter. hopefully will see more title like this. oh and Aquanox, aaaaqqqquuaannnooxxxxxx!!!!

just when i thought no one could possibly build/design any more kewl spaceships and then YOU COME ALONG! holly jesus...well done...i want this NOW! CONSOLE please!

Robotech anyone? huhu.

I'm happy to see a new Chris Roberts game, Wing Commander 1 was one of the first PC games I played and I'm happy to see its creator back in the industry.

I'm also interested to see how much of the old Wing Commander Universe is present in this new IP of his. Given that the Tiger's Claw was a Bengal Class Assault Carrier (love the updated look btw), and the first game took place in the Vega Sector, and there was a system named Kurasawa that was known for its abundant and mineral rich asteroid fields......can only wonder how much is also in there, only time will tell I guess.

But then again, after watching the press conference I get the feeling that there's going to be a ton in this game that Chris Roberts has always wanted to do but couldn't because of the technological limitations at the time. So who cares if he's blending in some of Wing Commander, the new fans won't know the difference and it'll be all the sweeter for the old fans like me :)

MIND = BLOWN.

That is why I'm a gamer. I'm in. I'm so in.

That enemy vessel doesn't it look like a Cylon Raider?

Was anyone else having trouble viewing this trailer? I keep trying to restart it but all I keep seeing is my hand throwing cash at the screen while I try to figure out how to use my credit card on the screne...

For the fans that are chomping at the bit, try WC Saga at www.wcsaga.com. A fan created game running on the Freespace 2 engine. It's free.

yay...i have very fond memories of StarLancer,tachyon the fringe and a bit of Freelancer..waiting for this game and by the time this comes out i will have a killer gaming laptop to welcome it :) :)

Why doesn't he just call it Wing Commander? It's pretty much the same thing.

well, battlestar galactica (remake) rip off, anyone? not necessarily a bad thing; whoever I'm supposed to be, I'll still imagine I'm starbuck when I'm killing pirates/cylons... hope the game is as slick as the trailer.

Finally a game that combines all the best elements of Nexus:the Jupiter Incident, Freelancer, Eve Online and Freespace 2. I only wish they would use the newest UDK engine instead of CryEngine. Love the fact that players will be able to contribute. Take my money!

I can haz killrathee?

what a trailer,,,,,please dont let me down trailer........

however the graphic sucks...even their PC cant run it so well,,,,

My main problem with space sim. Why do fighters have wings? Unless the fighter is able to land a terrestrial planets there are no need for wings on space fighters.. There's no wind. I wish there were more unique fighters in space sims.

Holy Hell a AAA space sim its about F 'in time. Looks like a military sim too which is awesome, I'm weary of every space game trying to be Elite. Did you see that cockpit view? Is that ingame? Goddamn!

really LOOKS fantastic - but i wonder how it will PLAY !!

what is the gameplay like in a space sim? never played one before.

but based on this trailer alone it looks epic, engrossing, and beautifully well put together.

Lot of awesome PC games coming out in future

Star Citizen Squadron 42 , The Witcher 3 , CDPR Cyberpunk , Alan Wake 2 , Project eternity , SC Heart of the swarms , Wastelands 2 , Company of Heroes 2 , Total war Rome 2 , Star Wars 1313 etc . Keeps getting better .

Great chance of MGS ground zeroes to be on PC as well plus other unannounced titles as well which are in development like Half Life 3 . Glad I didn't own any console .

Ive gotta say, Im absolutely fuckin impressed by this. Carry on.

already pre-ordered. and about time too !

Graphics are always pretty. I still remember playing Adventure on Atari 2600 thinking that that game was fun but the graphics sucked almost as bad as pong. Space sim fans like depth and complexity. I dont doubt you'll include this, Chris, but I am waiting for the deatils and very hopeful.
