Join us on Friday, August 19th as we celebrate Star Citizen at Gamescom with you, our amazing community. Hosted by Chris Roberts, watch as we showcase what we’ve been working on since last year’s event, and take a look ahead at the Procedural Planets system slated to come online in Star Citizen Alpha 2.7. Of course, that’s not all you can expect from our Gamescom Presentation, but you’ll have to tune in on August 19th to find out more!

Here's what we're pretty sure will show up:

• Procedurally generated planet tech, probably resulting in a live tour of a PG planet.
• Demo of the 2.6 patch, which will contain Star Marine (for sure this time )
• Other things that will show up in 2.7 along with PG planets
• Preview of Website 3.0/Orgs 2.0/Forums 2.0
• Reveal of the Anvil Terrapin
• Glitches, hardware difficulties, and cringe
• Probably delays
• A ship sale!!!
• Surprises!!!

• Official NeoGAF Star Citizen Thread

Will Roberts make me tab out from cringe again?

 

[Dictator93]

I am expecting Star Marine Demo, Planetside Levsky with multiplayer, and the ending with a sizzle reel of sorts for SQ42.

 

[NuMiQ]

This should be good, can't wait to see what they have in store. A new SQ42 tease would be nice, but I'm quite happy with all the procedural stuff. HYPE!

 

[Geist-]

Here's a gif of an explosion, because I like explosions.

[DMONKUMA]

Yep, excited to see some more progress.

 

[atpbx]

Cant wait, problem is, it clashes with the United - Southampton game, and Pogbas home debut, so it's going to have to be a one eye on this, and the other eye watching the saints get arseholed.

 

[RK9039]

Is that Chris Weidman?

 

[blastprocessor]

Expecting to see progress on the single player game.

 

[chifanpoe]

SQ42 trailer and Polaris please!

 

[Zalusithix]

SQ42 trailer and Polaris please!

I highly doubt it. Maybe for the anniversary, but not now.

 

[Raticus79]

Aww yeah, here we go

 

[KKRT00]

SQ42 trailer and Polaris please!

There wont be SQ42 trailer, but maybe we'll see some cinematic of some sort.

 

[Danthrax]

I hope we see a roadmap of features to be added over the next several patches. It would be nice to see it all concisely laid out.

Will Roberts make me tab out from cringe again?

That's up to you

Here's a picture of the Carrack, just because it's so awesome:

 

[StereoVsn]

Are they going to talk about SP side at all? The one that's supposed to get released at the end of the year (chance of that close to 0).

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Are they going to talk about SP side at all? The one that's supposed to get released at the end of the year (chance of that close to 0).

Nope. Pretty certain they've been very adamant in avoiding talking about it. They don't want to spoil it.

 

[BigTnaples]

This will be the game of forever when it launches.

 

[Akronis]

I'M HERE FOR THE PAIN DICTATOR YOU BETTER NOT DISAPPOINT

This is a bad post and you should feel bad for it.

 

[tuxfool]

At this point most of us suspect it will be delayed to the beginning of next year.

 

[XPE]

I really want to see how far they have come with the Procedurally generated planet tech, last time we seen it the planets were bare but the recent german mag pics have got me wanting to see the full reveal.

 

[chifanpoe]

Here's a picture of the Carrack, just because it's so awesome:

Lovely!

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Here's a picture of the Carrack, just because it's so awesome:

Is that the one the guy was clipping through in yesterday's stream?

 

[chifanpoe]

Is that the one the guy was clipping through in yesterday's stream?

No, it has not finished white boxing yet. I think that one was a Starfarer.

 

[Sax Russel]

In for delays, crashes, bugs, hopes, dreams, and jank! #StarCitizen

<3

 

[jaaz]

Is that the one the guy was clipping through in yesterday's stream?

Nah, the Carrack is not out yet. It's about to go under development. It will be an Explorer ship.

You're probably referring to the Starfarer. And yes, it's still a little rough...

 

[Zalusithix]

Here's a picture of the Carrack, just because it's so awesome:

I can't wait for more updates on the Carrack. Hell, I want to see my Carrack more than my Idris. Of all my ships, I see myself spending the most amount of my time in it. My personal flagship if you will.

 

[CyberPunked]

Awww yeahhhh. Should be good

 

[Nzyme32]

When this finally comes out

 

[petethepanda]

When this finally comes out

Oh my god.

 

[Akronis]

When this finally comes out

god fucking damnit.

I wasn't expecting this at all.

 

[Ephemeris]

*suits up*

 

[injurai]

[Geist-]

"So far its been calm, scanners are picking up some bilogical signals up ahead though."

 

[mercenar1e]

Looks like it's heavily armored? Could be a drop ship.

 

[Akronis]

"So far its been calm, scanners are picking up some bilogical signals up ahead though."

They better not disappoint.

also bilogical lol

 

[Galava]

Carrack sale?! PLEASE (And in-hangar?)

That "mako" from the pic could be Carrack's exploration rover...

The impossible: Carrack demo landing on planet and getting out on rover. (Not happening ofc T.T)

 

[injurai]

Ya, came out yesterday.

Cool. I'm getting strong Wayland Industries vibes from that design.

 

[StereoVsn]

Nope. Pretty certain they've been very adamant in avoiding talking about it. They don't want to spoil it.

I am sure that's why they want to avoid talking about it. It's so they don't accidentally spoil the story and not at all because it's not going to be nowhere ready at the end of the year.

 

[KKRT00]

They will be talking about S42 a lot on CitizenCon.

 

[Xplatformer]

I need more me...


Gamescom press conference

Manchester United playing Southhampton

USA basketball vs Spain


ALL THIS GOING ON NOW.


I'm trying to multitask with my TV, my Surface and my phone.

 

[RK9039]

Man I love that planet to space trailer.

I mean, you'll hear about it, I just wouldn't expect any specifics, or a trailer or anything like that. They always give us a general idea of the progress though.

Sooner or later we should get a movie-style trailer of SQ42 (modified camera angles, explosions, action, and so on) to sell it to mass audience.

Yeah it would be the best route for sure. I'm not expecting anything like that until we have a concrete release date for Squadron 42 though, and even then not until the release date is getting close. At least that's the vibe I've always gotten from how they're handling it.
