Star Citizen - Chris Roberts, lots of spaceship porn, lots of promises

[dsmart]

Note: Didn’t actually see any space combat, nor any action.

Your expectations were too high. Plus, according to sources, that was a cutscene; not even gameplay. Which is so very hilarious to me.

[Profanicus]

Nah we got exactly what I expected. :)

So that was the teaser, when is the actual trailer out, that shows gameplay?

[Gordon_Cameron]

I mean… what else is going to keep the mice from eating the spaceweed I’m growing on my farming ship?

I think the thing that excites me most about Star Citizen is the prospect of landing my ship, walking through a city, entering an Animal Registration office, and filling out a form to obtain a license to buy a kitten.

It’s that kind of immersion that’s going to put SC over the top.

Send space lawyers, space guns and space money. The space shit has hit the space fan.

I picked up a few tanks, wish they would start selling fish for my hanger tank.

Simulated gameplay.

Holding my breath for a zombie outbreak DLC. Maybe I get to buy my own zombie.

[dsmart]

Simulated gameplay.

It was rendered in-engine (just like COD, BF etc) with the only difference being the cinematics editing they added e.g. in the actual “game”, my source tells me that it’s the same, different camera angle, but in first person view

Am I the only one that has an issue with a thruster ‘sticking’? Old shitty trope anyone?

[Giles_Habibula]

What I am unsure about is Hamil about to take off with that guy still looking at the sticking issue?

He’s about to get his face burned off.

He’s about to get his face burned off.

That’s just the level of simulation fidelity that Star Citizen is known for.

But for serious, if they could actually show someone playing this game for 5 minutes with a real controller and the appearance of it being even remotely enjoyable to play, people would shut up about it.

Guess it’s safe to keep talking.

how is @tbaldree able to release action shots/clips/GIFs and complete Rebel Galaxy in a fraction of the time?

He’s actually competent?

[Mr_Bismarck]

I’m glad you can get paintjobs for the tanks or I might feel I’m not getting value for money.

Er, or I’m 1000% less ambitious, am not making an MMO, and don’t need all my ships to physically function in the real world, or my income to sustain multiple companies across multiple continents.

[BrianRubin]

And you’re competent!

[tbaldree]

I’m pretty confident there are LOADS of competent individuals at RSI…

[rei]

I suspect the extended squadron trailer wasn’t actually in slow motion just running at the most optimized framerate

[rhamorim]

Agreed. Too bad they’re not the ones that matter most (aka, the “decision makers”)…

[dsmart]

My new article is up. It contains some Squadron 42 scoops. That game, get this, is now coming in 2019.
