Support NeoGAF

[alucard0712_rus]

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.

I think 1-2 years is a safe bet for SQ42. They still need to implement DX12 and Ray Tracing stuff, among many other render tech. SC 4.0 alpha (or beta) is probably by the end of 2024.

 

[Hudo]

This is still a thing? Sorry if posted already, actually looks decent.

I sure fucking hope so because I am not interested in their pseudo MMO.

They won’t support DX12 but Vulkan. RT, Vulkan DLSS, FSR will now be added during the polishing phase.

 

[JokerMM]

Well, this does look like a game that costs half a billion dollars.
It's on my radar for now

 

[Gen.Grievous]

I really don't care if got scammed for 30€ I payed back in 2012.
But this tech never fails to impress me. And you can actually play it.

Consider it an investment that might pay off in the end.

 

[StueyDuck]

This seems like the most generic "Space game" you could make, what's the hook?
Visually, it's decent.

Not enough loading screens

 

[salva]

I backed it on kickstarter and have lol'd about scam citizen. But I am hyped AF after seeing this... even though it'll probably still be years away

Holiday 2024 is to tight for AAA game, so holiday 2025 or later for SQ42. At least most of the developers moved over to Star Citizen, we should see bigger progress here in the next year. 4.0 for end of 24 seems reasonable.

 

[STARSBarry]

Looking forward to seeing SQ42 in 2042 when they finished polishing.

More than graphics itself, I like all the interaction, physics and environmental distruction, these are fields that have to be worked out to give games a true next-gen feel. We had reach a good point back in the days, then we started to go back more and more.

Come on man. If you're going to copy-paste two of our paragraphs then at least link to the article (or use your own description).

Here are 25 minutes of gameplay footage from Star Citizen's single-player campaign, Squadron 42

Cloud Imperium has released a new video, showcasing 25 minutes of gameplay from the single-player campaign of Star Citizen, Squadron 42.

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.

No.

 

[Cyborg]

This will release in 10 years.

 

[KungFucius]

Funny how there is not yet a release date. They should be able to estimate how long it will take to polish.

As TotK kind of shows the more of that you add in the more effort polishing and testing and fixing you will have. If on top of that you keep chasing the latest tech innovation making large changes to your code, you are making a hard problem worse.

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

It looks good. More varied gameplay than I expected, more than just a ship combat sim. The graphics, that appeared incredible in previously released footage, have sadly become a little dated. That’s to be expected given the ridiculous development window.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Looks great, amazing even. Where is the release date? It's been almost 10 year (I think) since I bought into early access.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Where is the release date?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Hopefully I get to play it before the end of this generation.

 

[Dr.D00p]

25 minutes of Gameplay?

Where?

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Hopefully I get to play it before the heat death of the universe

FTFY

 

[Drell]

Hey guys I don't even play this game or even planning to do it. But I'm amazed at the ambitions the team who makes it has. I'm also amazed at how haters always call it a scam while it is one if not the most ambitious game ever. I'd rather play this game that feels like some real simulation of an universe, even if there's still a lot of bugs and things left to implement than playing that other "finished" game full of loading screens that break the immersion.

 

[King Dazzar]

PlayStation version ETA? Stardate 2033?

 

[Neo 007]

Most of the characters look like they have a skin condition.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Where are the Star Citizen haters now?

Playing released games, like always.

 

[Xtib81]

It looks absolutely phenomenal. Hope it lands one day on consoles (ps6?)

 

[SF Kosmo]

Squadron 42 Feature Complete? Yeah, sure, lol.

Feature complete and content complete are two different things.

 

[SCB3]

It looks fantastic, buuut I kinda need to see some concrete release dates for it now

 

[Brock2621]

Did he just called that woman “sir” twice?

 

[Hudo]

Did he just called that woman “sir” twice?

I also found that weird but I am not American, so I don't know if ladies in the military are also just called "sir".

 

[Mowcno]

Release date? "It was originally announced for release in 2014 during the Kickstarter campaign"

Only delayed 10+ years after taking everyone's money!

 

[The Cockatrice]

This will either be the biggest flop/scam to ever "release" or the biggest game of our time. The chances for the latter are 5%.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

If this is what it looks like it will be, it will be huge.

This is the type of game that rarely comes along, based on the 26 minute video, that makes you feel like new ground is being broke in the genre.

I haven't been this intrigued since GTA3 introduced us to their open world flavor of game.

Hope they put it on Steam.

 

[phaedrus]

Did he just called that woman “sir” twice?

Heh, it's a pretty stark reminder how long this thing's been in development; there are people who don't even recognise Gillian Anderson now.

 

[Mowcno]

This will either be the biggest flop/scam to ever "release" or the biggest game of our time. The chances for the latter are 5%.

Too generous. It's a space sim. The chance of it being massive is basically 0%.

You think this looks dated? Against what?

 

[clarky]

Its not a space sim.

 

[Zathalus]

Did he just called that woman “sir” twice?

It happens in the military sometimes, but the true reason is that it's basically a sci-fi trope as well.

 

[tusharngf]

looks good..

 

[SimTourist]

Did he just called that woman “sir” twice?

 

[Tokio Blues]

Thats... very next gen.

 

[Exede]

Let this be good, i pray to you Wing Commander gods.... Let this be good!

 

[FeralEcho]

Seriously though....It looks nice but this ain't ever coming out.Well...

 

[cyberheater]

Looks really good. I’d watch a tv series with those visuals

 

[Salz01]

At 3:18 he calls Xfile chick ‘Sir’, and I click off the video.

Why???

 

[amigastar]

Just release it already for christ's sake

 

[mansoor1980]

well shit , it looks great

 

[clarky]

Just release it already for christ's sake

Dont think the release will affect Jesus mate.
