Hyped more than ever for this game. PU can't get here sooner.

Given the fact that it is a space "sim," I do not think it will get "faster." Just look at the HUD, the game will be methodical and technical. I think that is what its audience is after...

Ironically looks in a better state then most games in alpha, and this is officially two years before release, and these kind of bugs are day to day fixable.

Wait, so this won't even support lower end PC's? The way he talks about not dumbing down means this is gonna have some crazy specs.
At this point, it looks more like a proof of concept or a playable tech demo than anything else.
After the first crash, they turned off damage and the AI opponents are just set to fly in circles.
Having a PC more powerful than the next-gen consoles is not exactly a difficult, or expensive, proposition.
By the time Star Citizen is actually released, we will have low-end GPUs with significantly more power than the PS4.

Junior, please.
Exactly. This is going to be a flagship PC game that will push even what is considered high end now.
Low end PCs are just out of luck, sorry.

They were recommending hardware from the future sometime last year I believe.
Game is going to take a beast to run with everything enabled.
Gameplay looks pretty damn rough still.

This is still going to support Mantle right?
That was the entire pitch, a high-end focused game. The initial tech demo went as low as a GTX460, but that has likely changed by now.
I liked the take-off, then after he fired all the weapons once I was getting more and more bored with the video.
The audience of course sucked, like they always do when they yell randomly.
I thought the helm flip didn't feel weighty enough even though I think in concept it's cool.
Based on the video it doesn't seem like it will work great with the Rift, but that's just my random feelings after seeing the movement in this specific demo.

Holy moly, that sounds like he sees himself as a the god of video games.
Did he or someone of his dev team stated something after the actual reveal of the PS4?
It seems like every Star Citizen thread turns into a PS4 port discussion and people telling why this doesn't look good and why Elite looks better and why everyone wasted his money and why even $40 million can't make a good game.
Granted, nothing else much we can discuss now though.

The visuals are fantastic, but flight and combat look kinda clunky. Really don't like that lock on animation
Is webm causing all that screen tearing?
Huh? He just doesn't want to give in to Sony and Microsoft's demands and water down his vision for the game. Quite understandable.

He's not the god of videogames
however, he is the god of this game in particular
So he isn't behaving out of character when he makes executive decisions
and this doesn't change no matter how big an increase in salt production those decisions engender

There are no words for just how excited I am for this....I remember upgrading to new hard drives just to play each new Wing Commander game as they came out....it looks amazing.
It seems like every thread these days turns into a PS4 port discussion.
I love the detail on the ships, can't wait to see some of the bigger ones.
Haha I think some people were actually crying from joy from the sounds of their voices.
Anyways the game looks amazing visually, too early to say if it's something I'd want to play though.

I don't get it, this looks like any run of the mill space dogfight demo setup you could imagine on today's hardware. There's not a lot to draw, PVS is super sipmle, and what is drawn is not particularly interesting. Is there some magical moment in this video I skipped over?
I say this as someone who loved WC, especially 1/2 and Privateer, back in the day.

Some people were assholes too. I think one guy started shouting ''Cryengine sucks'' or some shit and Chris seemed pretty pissed off.

Each scene has about 10 million polygons. There is a lot to draw.

The models are pretty detailed.
What exactly are you asking? This does not look like a 'run-of-the-mill space dogfight demo'.

So it's like those concrete dividers in Crysis 2 then?
You can collect rare fishes like Magikarp.

Drawing 10mm polygons is easy. Making it look like 10mm polygons is not. I just don't see the detail here scrubbing through, watching him collide with poorly modelled and textured asteroids. There's nice specular response and bloom, but that's pretty standard stuff nowadays.

Have you loaded up the hangar module? Those polygons are definitely going to use.

Looks visually impressive, but I'm not fond of the gameplay at all. In fact, I think it was a bad idea for them to show off the game in this state.
Lol I was referring to the Dragon Age footage, but yea that guy has no clue what he's talking about.
Don't think this has been posted here yet:

Did we ever get any word on how many maps we're getting on launch this month?
I don't even think the game could be considered Alpha state. I think this is more of "Hey guys, we know you are desperate to see how it's coming along so here is what the game LOOKS like".
I bet only fraction of the game play elements are even implemented right now.

This looks more interesting although dear lord the guy flying it, come on. Oof, placeholder effects, though.
He also basically said if Sony want a port, they have to pay up.

Just want to post concerning the idea of a 10million polygon count in a scene. Star Citizen is realizing almost everything as geometry. That means stuff that was usually normal mapped in older games, has real geometry in Star Citizen.
Why?
1. Fidelity, it just looks better
2. Modern hardware handles geometry quite well
3. In VR, normal mapping looks like shit.

Visually stunning but the gameplay is still rough as fuck looking
Also the crowd got annoying towards the end

It's just that I've never heard something like this. Must be because he's not bound to something and already got loads of money, doesn't have to be a bad thing actually.
But isn't SE doing things like code change without stupid QC procedures with FF14? There might be still a technical barrier, but doesn't sound very informed about the current gen.
