It has been only two month since Gamescom and with what we have seen there, there was no way we would see some huge new things on CitizenCon. Still what they did with Planets in those two months in spectacular.

[@raf.nogueira]

4 years ago and still nothing in real life...

[@vorpalrobot]

​@@raf.nogueira This demo was absolute bullshit for the next few years. We actually have a lot of this stuff now. At the time this was showing off stuff we have now like: Procedural planets with realistic biomes, flying from a space station to the surface, landing your ship and driving a car off the back, the dragonfly, the Ursa, FPS combat with NPCs, using computer screens that behave immersively to look directly at them for information and input, storms/wind. Not still nothing....

[@vorpalrobot]

oh and stealth takedowns

[@uncannyvalley2350]

I think it's actually starting to really fill out, esp when you compare the fidelity here to what they have in game now. The next patch brings Orizon, and Citizencon will bring Pyro and maybe Nyx, by this time next year this game will have enough elements to keep everyone plenty busy until finished. Fire, Cloud tech, Gas Tech, Capital Ships, Docking, Reputation, Medical and Salvage, Mining, Bounty Hunting, Components, these are serious breakthroughs either already in play or just around the corner, so they actually have met their promises. If you want to stomp your feet and pout, fine. But that's the thing with an open sandbox universe sim, if it was easy someone else would've done it by now, and we would be talking about that game instead. And once it is released, it will define the next generation of games, nothing even comes close.

[@snakeboss3020]

@@uncannyvalley2350 I seriously wonder if you are paid by CIG. what a load of bull****. SC is a laughing stock, in the game industry.

[@ltmuffler3482]

[@spoofghost]

i Agree, but the whole quality level is ridiculously high, and probably will get better. Especially considering the sheer size of these planets its just nuts. This will kill everything out there,.

[@lorekeeper2190]

I know right? And if you look at the FPS Counter, they're running the game in 100-150 FPS, I think we'll need to save up to make a mini supercomputer.

[@MrStubbs8157]

Why? They just have PCs like everyone else. You can clearly see though, that the ships and vehicles change that 100 fps into 60 pretty quickly. So: What you get in the current game is pretty much already stuff, that is causing the lowest fps. So, if you are fine soon in AC or in the current alphas, you will be okay for the game as well. And again: Noone serious would say, that they should built for nowadays PCs.....New tech is coming, new APIs are there, etc....Why built a ugly game for ugly nowadays hardware, if you can stress them hard now and the new hardware will run fine. I mean: We are still years away from real polished release.....so

[@lorekeeper2190]

MrStubbs1981 Ah, I did intend it to be a joke, but yeah, I noticed it isn't 100% 100+ FPS. Still, thanks for the check.

[@jbs7799]

I'm from the past. I was with the Fleet Marine Force from 1980-84. My batallion made me read a book titled Citizen of the Galaxy. I just typed it in gaming you tube and here I am, I discovered Star Citizen. Thank you very much. I still have a lot to learn. I just discovered you last night.

[@acrnm202]

Procedurallygenerception-ated.

[@TechnoMinarchist]

This conversation just made me think. People always saying that there are technical limits to how much content can be put in a game because it all takes time, and there's a limited number of people in the world. What if one day, we invent artistic AI that can procedural generate other artistic AI's, creating a detailed virtual game many times larger than our own universe?

[@naryaneth]

Great to see you again, Apex Valakkar.

[@Creamagination]

This looks so fucking sick, the details that the plain planet has is just insane.

[@1InVader1]

Holy shit the the new CryEngine. Atmospheric refraction instead of sky-domes? Spherical terrain mapping? All this streamed into the memory instead of loading screens?! That's freaking huge.

[@TechnoVikingOz]

Its not the new cryengine. Its what Cloud Imperium Games has modified the cryengine to do. You wont see this in other cryengine games.

[@1InVader1]

well obviously, at this point it might as well be a new engine forked from it.

[@TechnoVikingOz]

your probably right.

[@guywholikesplanes]

No longer CryEngine. They modified it so much it's Star Engine now.

[@Drrolfski]

This Star Engine has become so different from the original Cry Engine that it's no use for them any more to implement Cry Engine updates.

[@Voracity99]

I think people understand the game isn't complete, but the fear people have is that the game will have a release state similar to this, or that the game will never be finished. I think this is a real concern for a lot of games and whether it is for this game is up for debate.

Thank you for putting disabled people in the community trailer and not some dumb-ass models like Sony e.g.. It was really moving.

[@lapx2230]

They represent a good part of the active comunity, that's why they are in there. I doupt they asked disabled people to record themselves, they just did it because they wanted to be in the video.

[@HitodamaKyrie]

+Obadiah Westfoil That thinking is probably why disabled people's contributions are so rarely included in such things. A damned if you do damned if you don't sort of situation, so it's easier to get by without bringing up the issue at all. Besides, even if the motivation was largely political in nature, does that really invalidate it?

[@marin427]

Thats not a thing to congratulate for, thats just what the community is made off... all kinds of ppl but surely ones with some disability. its simply implicit and a given.

[@WhiteSkyMage]

Yeah, but don't worry, at 3.0 all the main and difficult parts of the game engine will be done with. As you can see, they will be mainly adding more ships, redoing others and more professions in the patches after 3.0. Things are escalating...

im at 200, going to upgrade to a caterpillar with a ship i won in a giveaway and i think thats all i can spend :P but this really makes me want to get more...

Interlaced video... It's been a long time, my old friend.

[@jhs5467]

but why... to save rendertime? to play the demos at acceptable fps? twitch compression?

[@mathboy_]

Twitch compression I believe. Switching the resolution/fps help ed, and they are using some new beta features

[@bluebear6313]

It started on the twitch stream last night in the pre-show without interlacing and there was a huge hiccup and it switched to interlacing. I presume it was a bandwidth issue.

which you cannot run, because you cannot run that much servers You will only be able to run a limited universe with limited players and limited ai.

[@berenedain8427]

It's a shame that much of the media seem to not appreciate what you guys have managed to accomplish. I've looked at several articles that ONLY talk about the delay of SQ42 and that's all they talk about. Nothing else? Which makes me think "Have these people actually watched this demo? Did they fall asleep halfway through?" That gameplay footage I watched in complete silence in awe of learning that yes the demo was in real-time, yes it was in-game and yes everything you see you can go to (the space stations rings turning in the sky was a particularly favourite part for me). To be honest, I don't care that squadron 42 is delayed, if the game came out in 2020 but you guys kept bringing out more and more alpha releases and eventually beta releases I'd be happy. As Chris Roberts said himself "Let's do it right." Spectrum and the mobi-glass technology, procedural planets, vision stabilisation, no skyboxes, 64-bit positioning, the new ships/multi-crew that allow you to move around while the ship is also moving and everything else? Most of those things have probably been considered to costly or hard to implement before CIG showed they could make them work. They've just made several innovative technologies a reality, in one game, in 4 years. Other developers should see this demo as a kick up the ass to actually release working games, that don't require large patches to fix game breaking bugs. When 3.0 comes out i'm sure most of the haters are going to quit with their whining. Then again, haters gonna hate. Rant over, i'm going back to fly my Gladius with the interstellar soundtrack playing in the background. See you in the verse!

[@CRXWNWRXITH]

*quietly sits in pilot seat of my connie whilst roaming port olisar and Grimhex* Screw you haters!

[@igliffromanini2448]

ah don't care too much about articles, probably many of them are even paid by other software houses to discredit the game, everything looks good but we have to see it done to judge, we cannot judge basing on a demo, we can get an Idea of how things will work out in general and if games are delayed I don't care just make it right I'd say

[@Simon1279.]

Or is it just because people have enough of words and promises and after 4 yrs people just want facts, demo are nothing but marketing, but in our hands after 4 yrs and a pile of spent bucks we've just got the 2.5 which is almost the same as the 1.2

[@sashatherrien7001]

I see this argument everywhere, do you know how long it takes an established studio to build a AAA game? A AAA-MMO is even longer. MMO's usually take between 5-8 years to make, we are just wrapping up year 4 with SC. Not only that but they spent the clear majority of the first 2-3 years just building out the studios and the teams. Building a studio and getting us to where we are now in 4-5 years is amazing. The issue is that SC was known from day 1, most studios will hide their stuff before showing it in almost beta form. Assassin's Creed Brother hood, spent 2 years in the "Bunker" at Ubisoft before any of us saw a demo and had been in production for almost 3 before anyone saw in-game footage If you want facts, I would encourage you to go to the RSI website, they put out between 4-5 hours of content every week (anything from mechanics to lore).

The most exiting thing is the editor. In some ways, it's similar to the ARMA level editor. I can't wait to get my hands on it and try it out. Also, if they release it to the community, the amount of props that modders could pour into it would make it an even greater tool.

I second this notion. Truth be told, while I watch the videos, I haven't played since 2.3 or so. I don't want to risk getting burnt out, just like C0T0HA, but I also don't want to constantly tweak my Voice Attack profile before the controls are more or less ironed out.

[@MasterDragonPaladin]

Oh yeeeeee Sweet Presentation, the demo's were mind blowing from a programming perspective. Just learning about this stuff is hard enough and actually putting it into action is crazy!

[@wam5850]

I'm fucking poor here but like... i'm gonna buy myself a good pc one day get this game it's like the best game i've seen in for ever :')

[@buddybarlow9604]

Get a job? Save money?

[@wam5850]

+Buddy Barlow i got a job and im saving money but ive got college and an apartment to pay.. so i cant save up for a new pc right now

[@austinryan5502]

could do what i do but do it on at a smaller rate. the game most likely wont be out for another 4 years or so, so id suggest that you put away 20-40 bucks a week or every 2 weeks which ends up being $1,040 a year for 40 bucks every two weeks so you'd have enough to build an absolute monster in 4 years.

[@wam5850]

+Austin Ryan (ACESLAYER32) thx dude thats an awesome idea :D

[@austinryan5502]

No problem man! used that plan to build my current computer a few years back lol

[@deadaces7949]

Hey Chris, have you discussed with Elon Musk yet about getting internet connection on mars? We will need it! :P

[@MrStubbs8157]

Noone like Chris and other "non-stupid" people ever want to get in contact with Elon Musk. He is an investor and just doing stuff for fun. And you treat him like a god. Pretty much everything, they currently do is bullshit. Landing rockets, HyperLube....He is not the smartest or at least he just has fun with his money and knows, that his projects are bullshit...but fun. Others buy soccer clubs, etc. So, he has fun....but he is just an investor, who did a homerun earlier and now doesnt know, where to put money. Please: Would be awesome to not hear about Elon Musk. Chris Roberts wouldnt be that dumb to get in contact with a man, that is less intelligent than an average. :) He doesnt need to get in contact with those douches. He did well in bypassing all the casual gaming dev douches until now. So, let him do his stuff....noone needs Elon Musk.

[@AQDuck]

One exploded while the rest launched fine or didn't blow up... That's better than NASA.

[@TheUndefynd1]

Sure disagree with Elon Musk but to say he is not intelligent is false.

[@KeithDeal]

Dead Aces don't listen to the haters we will have internet on mars someday

[@SwipeSide19]

next stretch goal

[@palmeza]

Thank for this great evening :D You still makes us dream in France: D

[@Avean]

Millions watching a trailer from Call of Duty. Gamers have no idea how amazing Star Citizen really is. The technology demonstrated here is simply mindblowingly impressive.

[@SapiaNt0mata]

the fanbase of Cod is mostly kids bellow 15-17, and grown ups with 12 year old brain like KingManni. he said his number 1 reason that he will buy new Infinite Warfare is cause it's the new Cod

[@Albert-Freeman]

As if something bad that game Play now. I play from hardcore games like castlevania nes and dark souls to call of dutys and nothing happens. I'm not a better person to play hardcore games or worse person for playing call of duty.

[@Albertrossus]

Yes but people are stupid if they cant acknowledge the work behind SC and go like "wtf is this shit cod 4 life" ofc every can have his own opinion, but i dont have to accept their opinion as "good" or whatever, i can say for myself that people with this opinion are dumb a f.

[@Albert-Freeman]

I didn't see any coment saying this wtf And... What is wrong with call of duty? Im mean. Its a shooter with no bugs, a solid gameplay, nice graphics (I repeay, nice, not the best), they have good campaigns and balanced multiplayer system Ill never know why people hates cod

[@Albertrossus]

Trebla Its not about that. Its about everything around it. Its the same nice solid gameplay over and over. Like Fifa. You can like it and theres nothing bad about liking this game. But some people tend to believe that this is how gaming should be, and games like SC are crap because they are trying impossible stuff.

[@EvidenceFragmentary]

Pushing the boundaries. I would certainly say so. When I signed up years ago, I bet on a 2018-2020 release tbh. With what they want to do and the limits they are pushing... I couldn't see it taking anywhere near the normal length of a AAA title. I bet on about twice that length and so far it's on schedule (for me personally). I am impressed by these demos. I watch a shit ton of video game trailers and demos and presentations, of engines and systems and mechanics and art design etc.... And nobody ever makes my jaw drop like SC. Sure I get excited for Battlefield and other new titles, but this genuinely makes me catch flies with a wtf look on my face as they challenge what I think I know about video game design. Kudos to CIG. Kudos to Chris Roberts for having the balls to do what they are doing knowing that they will receive a HUGE amount of skepticism and criticism, warranted or not. Generally, when you do something that hasn't been done before, there are major issues and setbacks with unforeseen consequences.. There will be skeptics and naysayers and people with valid concerns (myself included). But I admire the vision and that's what I signed up for. I like people who say fuck it and push their own agenda in a direction that has never been attempted. You've already given me my $ worth simply by bending the CryEngine to your will and impressing me on a technical level. Keep at er boys. Push your dream. See you all in the verse :)

[@morphentropic]

EvidenceFragmentary Still on schedule?

[@marneus]

Yeah... no.

[@SpektreProxy]

Im glad that RSI has polished up on the FPS mechanics appears to be alot smoother this time round

[@Platinumsniper]

Man if only this aged well.

[@DayLateGamerWill]

Remember when Chris and Sandy were front-facing representatives? Pepperidge Farms remembers....

[@j.r.e.9194]

Realy greate job every1 at CIG! Be proud of what you have done so far! This just looks so damn awsome!! Thank you!!

still wait for somebody ask will this come out for ps4pro

[@wpi6705]

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

not enough processing power. a 800$ console with 250$ hardware will never run a game like this (exept on your glorious 3fps lock of shame)

[@bequanma]

it's all about the game, not the fucking machine to run it

[@gutsy-beard14]

no my friend not at all

[@wpi6705]

i know but there are always people who think their ps4 is the best

[@FPSKiwi]

Chris Roberts breaking out with the old Dad level of memes.... =D

[@heliowolf5042]

Absolutely Unreal, I love how they said we arn't going to show you a "In Engine" Trailer, we are going to build and play the game live.

[@DanGheesling]

2:09:17 A POLARIS WAS SPOTTED IN THE WILD

[@Callsign_Prophet]

Lets see people not have their papers once that comes out...

[@BrotherJaysVids]

No it wasn't. That was an Idris.

[@jasongiles7897]

It was an Idris, that has the same body style from their 2.0 demo last year.

[@robmccormick8155]

Was an Idris for sure.

[@Nathan-xy1gv]

they better have a sick soundtrack for this game, interstellar like sound

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

they do, the ingame sound is already good

[@littlearvin1641]

Where the fuck is Hans Zimmer ???

[@blue3895]

Look up the Star Citizen main theme by Pedro Camacho, it's astonishing.

[@athamz9872]

Lol! Who needs Hans Zimmer?

[@attilapataki46]

Hans Zimmer needs Hans Zimmer

[@Ishikawa01]

Having the CEO much about with the controller is so awesome, it just makes it so real, make's them so human, and makes me want to join in and become a star citizen.

[@dirkdiggler2695]

4 more years and it will be ready for a release date.

[@statsmakten7614]

Honestly I wouldn't mind the wait for a game of this scope, plus 4 years from now we'll likely have a new generation of VR.

[@acevfx2923]

that would make 8 years for this games development. i find it to be a reasonable time to develop a game on this scale. fallout 4 took 7 years of which 4 full time. star citizen will count 8 of which 6 years full time. fair enough

[@MrStubbs8157]

We already know, that this is realistic. So, what is the deal. Most new IP on such a scale would take 8 years minimum to develop. If they do it in 8-10 years, they are fast. And I am okay with it...so are 99% of the community, who backed money and said: Take whatever time it takes!

[@promaty]

Yep, SQ42 may come in 1-2 years, but full scale persistent universe is probably somewhere in 2020.

[@Aaronivoify]

4 years from now hundreds of fans would have died before actually playing the released game

[@BoleDaPole]

The tech isnt quite there yet, and we get all this amazing stuff. Just omagine what SC will look like in 2018-20 once the game actually launches!

[@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo]

Ouch.

[@HOTMiSCHiEF1]

The part where Sean showed us the engine and how things are created blew my mind! Keep it up CIG!

[@yehnaaah3537]

They should add a giant "Prison/War/Pirate" planet that is lawless and like your ships do not get covered under insurgence going there its just massive world with like cities to loot and mad max style bandits etc... be the most epic shit ever

[@yehnaaah3537]

Insurance*

[@MrStubbs8157]

Cathcart is a "giant space debris living city of lawlessness" ;) And sure there will be such planets.

[@jamisonthomas9244]

They should have multiple areas like that, like certain planets and certain space places.

[@fedelou89]

5 years from this video and still nothing shown here is playable

[@tomsmarkovs1946]

90% of the things are in the game. planets, bioms, vehicles, . . this looks almost basic now.

[@uncannyvalley2350]

Another Corporate troll who can't be specific

[@MrMuki61]

Truely astonishing. The amount of work, the existing (and planned) level of detail, the dedication to the fans and the unprecedented transparancy and updates... Kodus to Robert and the guys/gals behind this incredible vision! I hope that more developers will be as honest and dedicated to their fan base as Cloud Imperium is!

[@ragheedeleyan429]

God.. it's been 6 years, 6 long years!!

[@holleyweird]

So this v2 planet tech will be in 3.0? Wasn't sure if I caught that.

[@300Xeon]

Yes!

[@VitorHugoOliveiraSousa]

I think it will, at least partially. The ground textures, for example, is way better that the one they show at gamescon (that didn't really hold up to the standard of the manual assets of the game). So I don't see why they would use that version of terrain generation instead this much better one (now if this mean the entire package like dynamic weather I don't know, probably what is "ready" at the time).

[@holleyweird]

Vitor Hugo Oliveira Sousa Makes sense to me seeing it coming out in little additions and each one having more dynamics as they test it in the PTU.

[@xavierh.5102]

yeah, but i dont think 3.0 is going to have planets like this :(

[@Black-Re4per]

That Planet was just for the Demo in 3.0 we have the Planets from the Stanton System and Moons of course

[@crocodiledundee1305]

The amount of details in this game is incredible, truly incredible, no wonder it takes so long to make the game.

[@tetzuo6039]

I MUST get a new PC for this game. It looks incredible.

[@SpyGenesis]

Guess who is saving money right now ;)

[@peasant_shots]

I am!

[@avidian888]

Me too, just wait until next Summer, where the new chip generations will come out and the current GPU/CPUs get much cheaper. ;)

[@peasant_shots]

Arvid Shirasb Ummmm. So don't play any games until next summer? Sorry, but that is not happening.

[@avidian888]

Okay I thought you already have a working PC and want to get a better one. In your case, it might be better to buy now, you´re right.

[@alexharry9009]

Man, I really don't understand the hate for this game. It looks pretty cool.

[@avidian888]

It's just jealousy and craziness. Because a lot of people were dreaming about making and playing a game like this and CIG is the first to make it possible, even without the big corporate developers and publishers. That's unheard of in our capitalistic driven society and people just rather hate on something, than try to change their thought patterns and behaviors. It's the same with environment activists, vegans and other great things/people, which get so much undeserved hate.

[@Bigl1230x]

I think it's because the kickstarter campaign started back in 2011, I believe and the game still isn't out by 2016. The vision of the game seems like it will be the GREATEST game ever to exist, even if you are not a SyFy fan. I think what many people have an issue with is the fact they speak so highly of a game that is not even close to being finished. His vision is too vast for what he is capable of doing. Even when we see videos, yes it looks like the most amazing thing since sliced bread????... hmmm. but we won't get our hands on that for another, what 1,2 or 3 years. @Arvid Don't think many people care about what you are speaking about. People just want the game, just stop speaking about it, showing progress, giving details... Just wait until the game is finished and do the traditional advertising campaign. Think it's just that simple.

[@alexharry9009]

Lavell Hill Maybe it's because the devs are being so open with it's development and people are upset its so slow. But the same people who are upset are so incredibly uninformed on how long a game takes to make. Especially one of this size with such lofty goals.

[@wileywilson]

Nor me Alex. It looks incredible.

[@avidian888]

Okay, I can tell, that you´ve never worked for a gaming company or have any idea how long game development usually takes. First off, this is "open development", that means, I and other backers WANT to hear about the development a lot (AS THEY PROGRESS) and they even just put the money from the dedicated subscribers (which is NOT mandatory) into this videos and not the actual funding for the game. The talking about it, won´t effect the development in any bad way or make the developers take longer, it´s the other way around. Because they´ve shown us so much of the game, we could give our feedback and help them making a better game. 60% of what we already have, was never intended back in 2012 (where the campaign started, not 2011) Secondly, It is already better than most other games. There´s no other game with this level of fidelity, where you can walk out of your spaceship and fight an FPS battle inside a space station with other people and that´s just the Alpha... Sp people who follow the development know already, how much progress CIG has made and they´ve done their research, so they know about the development time of other comparable game (even planetside games like GTA-V took over 7 years). MMOs usually need between 7 and 10 years and they won´t do a AAA-singleplayer campaign at the same time. So you mean 4 years for a building a huge company of 363 people from 12 at the beginning and having this level ground-breaking graphics and story-line and community engagement is taking too long?! That´s laughable at best. x'D

[@Triumph4nt1050]

I'm so impressed, this truly is what we've wanted in gaming for so very long. Really just an incredible job by this team to get to this point and it's still so far from being finished.

[@Corghy]

I literally started crying during the main demo at 1:25:30. I finally know how does to feel to cry from hapiness.

[@Corghy]

I actually did not, but I was really close to it :)

[@PsyArkron]

I got goose bumps all over from 1:25:55 on and especially around 1:26:35 woah...

[@Unmedicated_Moments]

Corghy You have problems. Its a fucking video game you pansy ass fruit fuck

[@Corghy]

Old glory Heh, you have no idea how much I lied with the crying.

[@Unmedicated_Moments]

Corghy That's what I like to hear

[@AW-kv8yx]

4 Years and we still have not seen much of this in game. Owtch.

[@lolpl0000]

You know guys if there is the one thing that I absolutely love it's that honesty it's the fact that you guys are willing to show everything and especially your humanity not just your PR colors and the fact that you have this whole team that basically every single backer is a part of there's something very true about that and I love it keep on doing whatever you guys are doing and I'm excited to see what's next

[@MRGav100]

Just WOW!!! I really hope all those people who demanded refunds are kicking themselves for not having faith in the roberts. This game is coming together beautifully and clearly giving a developer the time to do things properly pays off big time!!! Star Citizen is going to be pushing boundaries for the rest of the gaming industry to follow.

[@mercenum5186]

So... It's 2018 and still no Squadron 42 and SC is in alpha 3.2. They're pushing the boundaries alright, the boundaries of backers patience.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

AHAHAHAHAH

And now it's the leading space sim title in the industry, nothing else even comes close.

[@eddieisfiction442]

[@kokorosyume]

Six years. 😳!

[@RDR911]

This was a faked presentation. Everything about it was lies, smoke, and mirrors.

[@waadeland]

That soft landing when the gears compresses though

[@TheMigueltronic]

But...where is the SQ42 demo that they have been promising to show to us since gamescom?

[@jaybluff281]

They cut it at the last second as Chris didn't feel it was polished enough. That's why it fades to black as you approach the Idris. That was meant to be the start of the SQ42 demo.

[@phinix250]

he said he was not happy with the polish on the demo chapter so he is delaying showing it until he is happy it is 'release ready'

[@NaughtyNimitz]

It's a bit like Apple: where is the new MacBook Pro? Wait till you see the September announcements? No, wait til the end of October,... etc..

I was watching this when going to take a crap. too bad that i shat my pants before I got on the toilet.

[@VirtualSuperSoldier]

The terrain painting tools in Cryengine were always fun to play with on an island basis, I cant wait to be able to create worlds!

[@quiz3230]

Will there be friendly animals going around? like a deer or something like that, so if you wan't to just sit there and celebrate the view you can see some animals hunting, playin around etc. ?

[@DJHEADPHONENINJA]

Why do you think deers exist anywhere else in the universe? And lets not make the NMS mistake again with randomized creatures. They can leave out animals for all that I care.

[@spoofghost]

that is definitely the idea. not just aggressive dune worms lol

[@Felizx14]

Not a big priority, but yes there will be.

[@TheThebestgame4]

yes

[@DavidKnowles0]

$1100 per animal, if the cost of the dune worm is anything to go buy, having a whole planet filled with animals could turn out to be expensive.

[@Durandal117]

Great stream, even if the Twitch channel mods were pretty bloodthirsty.

[@Reaper478]

Those mods were perfect. They banned idiocy and trolls. I wish more streams were modded like that one was.

[@pokeman5000]

They were pretty draconian but I would be too if it was my stream/game/con. A few kappas don't hurt no one and are pretty benign. But give a chat too much wiggle room and it turns into cancerous autism fast.

[@TheAGCteam]

Once in a while there comes a game along that helps us all remember that games can also be art.

Don't know. Maybe next month they'll show something during the anny. sale.

[@avidian888]

That´d be awesome! :)

[@avidian888]

No I don´t want them to rush SQ42, I just needed a little video from their progress on SQ42. That´s all.

[@btoiscool]

Arvid Shirasb And they gave us that; CR said that they're pretty much on greybox stage for SSQ42-specific environments atm.

[@avidian888]

Yeah they showed us the universe, but no scenes from the actual campaign with the actors. That´s what I´ve been waiting for.

[@joelcox5801]

I feel the addition of a giant worm is like a middle finger to No Mans Sky

[@sylvainmalfettes2114]

Or a good old sci-fi tropes, it's not like SC did not have looots of them already (ain't a criticism, by the way, I like their art design, but none can say it's original).

[@bluearcher1559]

All Hail Muad'dib

[@TheLordHiggs]

Apart from the fact that the worm isn't even in the game.

[@masontempleton5894]

MrHiggs or the fact that no man sky was a success and finished and has more competent developers

[@TheRedJadex]

How the turn tables.

[@vexandhexz]

At the beginning of the Homestead demo, I enjoyed seeing the Hornet and 350r as the camera panned past the station. Only now, I'm realizing that those ships were a Retaliator and Constellation! That completely changes the scope and magnitude of scale for me. How awesome!

[@btoiscool]

You thought those were a Hornet and 350r? lol

[@AmentiVZ]

So, the Javelin must be pretty close to done (for S42), if they've already made a crashed-and-weathered version of it, amirite?

[@TheUnchainedMind]

wow, everything about that demo was incredible. My only concern is with the nature of the missions. I doubt that massive ship fallen in the desert was a one time asset. So am I going to keep running in a similar scenario all the time on other worlds? Same ship, same worm and sandstorm that trigger at the same time? Or is all of this crafted for this specific planet? This would be too good to be true. Another question about the nature of missions, are they a one-time thing? Or can you keep taking on the same mission multiple times, going through the same exact environment with the same exact environmental cues?

[@Nanoytgaming]

You not gonna "keep running" into anything man. Have you seen the size of the planets?

[@jonm7865]

This entire thing was a SQ42 mission, check the end with Mark Hamill and the Edris

[@TheUnchainedMind]

Cloud Strife I was specifically talking about missions you get from NPCs. They are obviously going to lead to designated, designed spots, not random places across procedurally generated world. My question, then, is how similar these mission areas will be to one another? I understand this specific mission was part of the single player portion of the game, but my question still applies to the multiplayer component. It would be awesome if they could individually design each and every planet to be different and have different enough missions that it stays fresh. As I understand it there are/will be close to 1000 planets in the game though, in which case there's only so much you can do to differentiate them.

[@TheUnchainedMind]

GibsonGaming Whether single or multiplayer, they're missions nonetheless. My question is equally valid. What are we to expect from multiplayer missions? How similar will they be among them in setting and objectives? They obviously won't all be unique.

[@RyoMassaki]

The will use handcrafted pieces of narrative strung together by procedural events and player choice so that they hopefully appear as full of variety. So its a mix of unique parts and math magic. I think they will try to cram as many settings and objectives as possible in these half procedural systems. Combined with the rich ecosystem of economy and war and pirates and stuff it could get quite rich. You have to take into consideration that there will be many roles to play, many professions. Even if you play the "same" mission twice, alone the time difference of day and night and the people participating could have drastic effects on the mission, so there is no same mission actually. It all depends on how deep they want to go with this tech and how much unique parts they want to create. Knowing CIG and their level of quality it will take a while, but will be worth it.

[@igormartins3289]

Im very impressed with community respect !! Tks CIG! Only finish this great game ! Things about to lauch for consoles too !

[@sleepisnotnecessary2161]

You know, with all of the negative press around this game, it's been really discouraging. I've pledged to SC because it looked like a dream game, and after NMS I was even more afraid that I had sunk money into a crowdfunded SC for which I'd never see the original concept realized. What I've seen here looks truly impressive. Don't let us down, Mr. Roberts. If you do, then you'll have killed both the space genre and trust in crowdfunding forever.

[@jeff86ing]

I think he's already revived the space genre. Just look at how many space games have come out, even COD is a space game now. I'm not really sure if this game can fail at this point. they are already past the hardest parts of development. They also share a crazy amount with the community, and take so much feedback. It can't end up as everyone's perfect game, but I just don't see them "failing" at this point unless something really crazy happens.

[@sylvainmalfettes2114]

They are basically too big to fail at this point. My concerns are more about the nature and quality of the final product than about if there will be a final product.

[@jeff86ing]

Lord Shadoko Less of the quality, and more of the timeline and if the gameplay will suit you.

how will the VR support be for this once its released ? any info ?
