What platforms is this game coming to? I saw PC and tuned out but can't deny that t looks good.

PC & Switch.

 

[ChoosableOne]

many of us pledged for on Kickstarter in 2012

Wow

PC for sure

Rumours are that CIG are meeting with console's big head honchos for publishing. I would imagine it would come at a later date.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Star Citizen is like the Theranos of video games.

If you don't know the reference, Google it.

 

[Crayon]

Oh hell yeah. I'm saving watching this for when I get home. Im prepared if it never comes out but I want to see his idea of a new wing commander.

 

[Buggy Loop]

That video showing the planet scale and jumping to the next area, this is what every scifi game has been saying but this has it all at that scale. It's hard to comprehend and I know some things are farther off than others but this is outstanding. Now you know where all their time and effort has been and is going. Epic is putting it appropriately for me.

I'm watching that seamless going from several planets and systems, the fauna and biomes, the flying whales, and then the jump. Wow.

Just a quick look in the past to understand how far it has come

Peoples keep throwing 2016 date as the GREAT betrayal and that CIG are liars.

A 2016 Squadron 42 would have gotten this landing tech. This was 2014 build and the campaign was built around that.




Forget the jankyness for a minute as it was clearly not "ready" but, the foundation of travelling would have been : scene to go from space to atmosphere, then some white washout, another scene for entry, and then roaming. Would have been the same for takeoff.

Late 2015 Crytek employees helping the project found how to make seamless transitions with the first iteration of procedurally generated planets, for Star Citizen (not on same timeline as Squadron 42 back then)




Then they soft rebooted SQ42, because as you see, it would have been so wildly different experiences between the single player and the MMO. Tech in 2015 was just not ready to shift a single player game to it. The planet procedurals were not there. It would probably also change the whole flow of the single player campaign, It's not a feature you just tack on.

So feature creep had some good things happening for this game, some of it was too much, but some of it I'll gladly accept the delay we got.

I'm in.

[Red5]

The last game from CR in this style (Dreamcast & PC versions). One of the lesser known games at that even though it's the precursor to Freelancer. Still well worth picking up and playing, not exactly a crowded field nowadays and you've probably played all the other classics like Freespace etc.
​

I still play Starlancer from time to time, Cold War gone hot in space is a rarely visited theme, much like Battlezone. But I thought Starlancer was more Erin Roberts than Chris.

 

[Dlacy13g]

Space stuff looks amazing....but the first person stuff on a quick glance looked a bit "floaty" with how the aim reticles moved compared to the guns. Still, its good to see this game finally "feature" complete now will be interesting to see how long the "polish" phase takes.

They talked about this in a panel yesterday. The reticle is where your barrel is at all times. So as your gun moves so does the cross hair. If you press against a wall that covers the barrel then your cross hair will go to that wall for example.

 

[Crayon]

How much RAM will I need to run this?

Well, wing commander 4 took 8MB so I expect the requirement to be similarly hefty.

 

[Varteras]

You playing Star Citizen with me bish??

 

[Meicyn]

PC for sure

Would definitely be onboard if it shipped on console. I backed the Kickstarter when I was still PC gaming and well, I don’t game on PC anymore. Ship it running on PS5 with stripped down graphics and I am there.

 

[calistan]

It looks pretty detailed but the framerate seems poor in those first-person sections. Is it even possible to optimise that, or are they waiting for the next generation of graphics cards?

You ever make a game? Then you know it will go with exactly whay they said, polish/optimization. Of course people like me will benefit being on the high end. That's what we do.

That's ok, by the time next "feature complete" reveal comes out (previous one was in 2016), we'll all be on PS6/XSX2.

Lucky you! My PC is pretty high spec, but I'd imagine they recorded this demo on the very best rig money can buy.

 

[AJUMP23]

If people wonder why we're excited: This is the major/main part of Star Citizen that many of us pledged for on Kickstarter in 2012..

I pledged day one on cloud imperium and have my golden ticket.

 

[justiceiro]

Are they really asking their audience for be proud of not demanding the game to be released on the actual date?? Lmao

 

[L*][*N*K]

Yeah I am sorry but those facial animations are pretty bad, to a point it feels like the game was made in 2014 and slept on and used to scam more and more money out of people

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Multiplayer?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Multiplayer?

Not in Squadron 42. Multiplayer/MMO will be Star Citizen.

 

[YuLY]

Anybody that followed this more closely know if we will have cities and stuff in Squadron 42? or is that only in Star Citizen, i've seen some past videos with some cool cyberpunk cities and stuff, wish they would be in the offline game also.

 

[Buggy Loop]

[Moochi]

The actual space gameplay parts look pretty bad, tbh. I think this game is uglier than most recently released space combat games. The FPS parts look pretty solid.

 

[Danjin44]

People can call me "weeb" or whatever the fuck they want but this is my big reason why I much, MUCH prefer stylize character design you see in Japanese games over realistic ones.

Every time I see realistic character design in games they are dull designs with ugly ass face or worse turn in to uncanny valley.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Thinking of upgrading to a GTX 770 to make sure I can max this thing out. My rig will be more powerful than a PS4!

 

[RoboFu]

and here is an hour of gameplay from 1942.... which is what I think of everytime I see this thread.

What most recently released space combat games?

 

[Success]

This is what I wanted Starfield to be.

A generational leap and not just another Bethesda game with a space wrapper.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The garbage like Starfield shouldn't even spoken in the same breath.

He's either an uninformed kid or an uninformed fanboy of other things. I can't remember a game that had this level of quality coming in such a scope.

 

[AtomicStarving]

In your hands in 10 years, or almost. Keep the funding going please

M Moochi

Starfield? But you mentionned games

In the meantime :

 

[L*][*N*K]

How much do you have invested? 20k? 30k? Did you get a bad ass ship that you are hoping to fly through space before you are 60??

 

[THE DUCK]

It looks cool, if I had any faith it will actually be released I'd be excited.

 

[Buggy Loop]

How much do you have invested? 20k? 30k? Did you get a bad ass ship that you are hoping to fly through space before you are 60??

$45

Thank you for your concern

Oh you're one of those dec 2022 gate opening waves uh. Figures. Try harder.

 

[L*][*N*K]

$45

Thank you for your concern

I love the gif in there, just shows how in denial you are

 

[Buggy Loop]

Sure.

Go have fun trolling Spider-man 2 and Starfield threads for faces that look from 2008.

You are still replying?? And the gifs too?? Here is what laughing looks like in case you need a gif for that

Let's all remember this gem

I mean if I am being honest a game the size of Starfield is more of a graphical benchmark than God Of War Ragnarok but I understand that not everyone agrees with me.

What a fucking hypocrite. Off to ignore list

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Nice tech demo, when's the launch date?

 

[Oddvintagechap]

wasn’t this being developed by one of the studios Sony bought? Firewalk? or Fire something. I don’t see their name tho.

No, you might be thinking of Concord.

Thats not a good idea in general. Im getting Operation Flashpoint shivers.

 

[clarky]

Agreed, but this game is 11 years in and a half a billion dollars deep and still not even close to release.

99% of developers dont have the luxury to have decade long development cycle with stupid amount of budget.......and this game is not even out yet.

If all developers try to be like Star Citizen then we wouldn't be playing any game because they would be still development.
