You can play it. You have been able to play it for year but it never seems to get out of the alpha stage.
That user always does that. I just ignore them lol.@Rivet
We see you
Don't even have the balls to be on the front line, always hiding behind laughs, always like that.

The game is just looking extremely bland both artistically, gameplay and story wise.
The visuals are solid, up there with what we have seen in other AAA games but I assume the game has a hook other than that.
Based on an existing IP or something?

No one knows for sure 'cause the scope of the game is being readjusted every week for the last ten years.

Very impressive stuff I especially love the environments like this right here
So my question to you guys : Is there similar cases where feature creep actually worked in video game before? I'm very well aware of Duke Nukem Forever sadly but I don't recall something as huge as Star Citizen ever came close.

bu bu but it could have released in 2016!
At what cost, with what vision? The tech to get there took an enormous effort. Certainly, we know how much it takes to make a game today. No way you have the kind of tech shown today in 4 years development starting from scratch, i mean from 0 to 1000 devs and with no graphic engines, got one, then had to change it to a new one because let's not forget in late 2015 Crytek was close to bankrupcy after not paying employees and they closed nearly all studios to save their ass, basically fucking up all the Star citizen roadmap.
Another game started around that time too for space.. 8 years and $400M later we got.... loading screens, err i mean Starfield. A game you won't even remember by year's end.
I think it's a sly way of suggesting that dark skin characters won't just be using the exact same light skin character shader with "just" a darker diffuse texture.
what the fuck does this even mean? How deep in the rabbit hole is this community?

Next gen is here.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
So cool. Guess no matter rig you have you'll need to upgrade whenever this thing launches. Nice to see light at the end of the tunnel. Funny that the (gravity) FPS bits look very Crysis-like still (no bad thing, it's charming and distinct/recognisable) despite all the things they've added, overhauled, etc.
It's like Wing Commander except everything that happens in such a situation/war/whatever you wanna call it can be experienced in game and not only inferred in cut scenes or mission briefings as things others/you do off screen so yeah it includes all the systems needed for all that to be realized...

Updated OP with what i think is a direct feed of the Star engine trailer? At least It's now ultrawide (no integrated black bars from stream) and is 4k.
edit - Not direct feed, still see the streaming quality in it. Oh well, still better quality than what i had before.

Nothing remotely close has been so sky high in feature creep and get anywhere near what we saw today, even if it's not released.
Even outside of Squadron 42, they showcased this weekend tech that will revolutionize multiplayer games going forward. dynamic server meshing is something you will eventually see in every MMO. Even if CIG closed doors tomorrow, the tech is proven, someone else would pick the embers and make it happen.

Don’t even start with the gaslighting. Everyone knows the history of this game’s development. The salt and the criticism is very warranted, and certainly appropriate at this point.
See ya in 2033 so we can talk about the game still not being out.

What's exciting about this? Got big names attached to it I'm assuming?

You can look up how many times I have defended this game over the years, that would be probably zero. But the reverse of your obviously immature and adolescent like comment is something you probably could have done without. So it's okay to throw whatever the terms you want to use, just be aware of that you appropriately reserve to write to be scrutinized for those of us that aren't invested in this game like our life depended on it.
I'm actually observing this and looking that this the way I commented on earlier without having seen or invested a damn thing in this in any significant way. I hope the game is actually good regardless of your own cynical opiniom and if you have invested, which is something you somehow omitted, then the level of cynicism may be warranted. I do get those that want to be critical and laugh at this game is if it's vaporware because it's taken forever.
What I observed in this video today, that is not a game that has not shown the fruits of quite a bit of work. No amount of sarcasm or internet badassery's going to erase those 26 minutes I just watched.

You might have heard about a little unknown game called Wing Commander.
Just a spiritual successor to it.
I'm glad you could judge the game's full 28 chapters from a 26 mins trailer. Incredible skill.

I haven't
Okay cool, people are excited for a sequel to something they loved, got it.
I mean I didn't, I said "it looks like"
That said I sadly have not had my first impressions of a game been wrong for atleast 15 years, so yeah i guess my skill is pretty incredible.

Looks like Squadron 42 might actually come out in like 2-3 years given the amount and nature of the footage shown in the "I held the line" trailer.
I love immersive games, this looks incredible and they apparently have plans to optimize it, wow, its been years since a game studio did that before release.
Looks like the wait might be worth it.

Setting, visuals, I'm a big believer in having a game set a mood with it's atmosphere.
What are these other space games that it looks like?

they better get a wriggle on as I backed 100 systems as per Kickstarter goal and they only have 1 'playable'

Some people ITT stick to their Wing Commander delusions while this asshole shows gravity gun puzzles lmao
They say it's in grey box stage since 2016. My guess is it's something like the 2009 state of Duke Nukem Forever. They'll just use the RTX and full Vulkan implementation as an excuse to why it ships 20 years after the Kickstarter.

And then around that time they got hit with CryEngine losing support, a lawsuit, switching to Amazon's fork, Ilfonic dropping the ball, recreating all of Ilfonic's work from scratch, etc.
Most studios would have closed down. Its basically a full reboot. But now they own all of it, no fucking engine drama.
You're basically regurgitating the same shit we've seen a dozen times now.

Most studios do not have a cult-like following to feed money to their projects.

Star Citizen developer Chris Roberts clarifies engine change to Amazon's Lumberyard won't delay the game
Star Citizen has been ported to a new engine and will use Amazon's Lumberyard going forward. While engine ports usually substantially delay game development, there are specific issues in play that make that less likely here.

You don't even know what Kool-Aid flavour you're drinking anymore.
Roberts literally, unironically said it took a day or two to make the engine switch. And this text was originally published on RSI.

Star Citizen exists because gamers want it, not because a giant publisher thought it would be a safe bet.
Star Citizen is a gamers game.

It's been so long ago, that I had to check how much I pledged. Thought I had pledged 40-45 bucks or something so colour me surprised.

Because they are the same engine, Cryengine is Lumberyard, in fact, from the lawsuit, we saw in documents that CIG never switched to Lumberyard in a way, they always kept their tweaked engine. But they lost most of the engine engineers that were crytek employees, with a massive feature creep and Ilfonic fucking up the marine module (FPS).
Was it a perfect run? Nope.
Just get over it, ffs. The past 2 days of news is that all big pieces of the puzzle are about to release. Rejoice motherfucker? Or you just want to see a game fail and point fingers?
Hoping for a game failure, one which had a hard parkour, is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel, you're not impressing anyone, you're taking the easy dopamine path.

8 years and $400M later there's one in his mind i guess
I've never liked a single game from that company, this game seems to have actual aliens so I'm more interested in it by default.

Discourse around this game will never change. People have made their minds up, and even if it comes out and is amazing its still a scam. The real issue here is that nobody seems to know what a scam is anymore. I see it all the time, a game called a scam by some group, despite there being no evidence that a scam has been committed. People are just too fucking dumb to think critically or move beyond the "derp derp somebody said this game is bad, so its bad" thinking. It would be hilarious if I didn't feel so completely embarrassed for them and their mental ineptitude.
