OK I now want this game, damn.

this is cool now imagine this was all real player fighting with each other for the planet :D NOW THAT would be legendary

so amazing

I hope that game come, honestly I waiting sooo long

[@andreww9513]

Original backer, it's been so long since we've had a patch I can get my friends in to play without game-breaking bugs that I'm done trying. I'm 7 years into my 4th career since the first stable patch and I just cant buy in to the same rhetoric anymore. I hope I'm wrong, but experience tells me to expect more new ships without reworks of outdated classic ships or game loops being fixed after 3+ years. I'm so damn tired.

[@orinnoco2919]

2030 maybe?

[@orinnoco2919]

I see elements of the space battles with rather liberal reinterpretations of 1. star trek (especially nemesis) 2. serenity 3. Battlestar galactica

[@jamescuttler8047]

Seems like the dev wanted to make a movie not a game

[@carlostommybaggs5763]

Forget the game, make a movie. This trailer beats almost everything put out by Disney star wars and Disney Avengers. Love the fleet aesthetics, but I'm guessing critics will rip the physics to bits, especially things like 2D space battle or exo atmospheric ships with wings, but others have done the same so F em.

[@cyberletho]

Great idea.

[@carlostommybaggs5763]

@@cyberletho More folks watch movies than play AAA games. As long as they create a rich back story, stick to telling an epic tale and avoid preachy gender politics, needlessly heavy LGBT plot lines and character lists, lecturing identity politics, Mary Sue Characters, Mcguffins, mystery boxes, obvious self insert characters, anti - Trump references, huge space ships operating on or near planetary surfaces (I'm looking at you JJ Abrahams) etc, they'll almost certainly do better than Disney. Don't get too obsessed with realism, what they already have is fine. The a imation of much of the Halo universe content isn't as good as this but people still love it. Give audiences a main cast they can relate to, care about and root for, a great villain we can all boo and hiss at, or a hero ship called Thunderchild, Argo, Enterprise or The -Millennium- -Falc- Kestrel... Yeah uh Century Kestrel, or something Ahem. Shamelessly plunder the scripts for Sink the Bismark! Battle of Britain, Battle of the River Plate and Tora Tora Tora! for old school stiff upper lip and daring do, ignore every single last professional shill critic and then just stick to providing the audience with escapist entertainment. Do like Alita Battle Angel did and just make the movie you wanna make or that fans want to watch. Many of the main ingredients are already there. The movie won't get anywhere near an Oscar, but I reckon this is still the formula for creating the biggest Sci Fi film of the year or at the very least a huge sleeper hit that makes bank and sells toys and video games, whatever those are...

I will attempt to get a different aspect ratio done. I tried but I can't figure out how to set that aspect ratio in OBS.

[@ike212111]

Why waste light fighters like that? Not even carrying a torpedo or anti-capital ship missiles. The Aliens are too dumb for Space Travel.

[@colin8696908]

so is this the single player campaign in star citizen or a separate game?

[@robertmandl9326]

Squadron 42 uses the same technology and is settled in the same universe and timeline as Star Citizen but is its own game.

[@colin8696908]

@@robertmandl9326 wow that's some smart money laundering right there. You get a bunch of gamers to give you money then use all the extra money to develop a full game engine. After that you license the engine to developers that way you can legally access money that would have otherwise been reserved for the development of the game... It's almost like money laundering within a trust fund.

[@Arbyfig]

it basically is, older star citizen game packages came with SQ 42 included, it was the single player component of star citizen, but CIG has since separated the purchase of SQ 42 and Star citizen to be different.

Be nice if they can make a game out of this moive but i bet it take over 30 years to make a game like that

[@congareel]

Wheres the character, the originality? This game looks visually incredible, but under the surface is a pale shadow of ever other sci-fi franchise. Nothing but a beautiful phantom.

[@Frosty0230]

you get to customise your character after the prologue. They have a lore reason you can change your appearance, etc. You see part of it at the end when he is in front of that mirror thing.

[@AdityaWaghmare]

@@Frosty0230 Oh nice! Didn’t catch the first time

[@jan-simonkrause9188]

Yeah... Killed the aspect ratio. Great.... NOT! 🙄

[@DartLuke]

more cinematics than gameplay. Also, the first game sequence is a stupid turret section, no fighter gameplay. And not exactly minus but it is again WW2 battles in space. But graphics looks good

[@tiachetine]

its why its called prologue. its before the start of the game to put you in the ambiance :)

[@michaelmichaelagnew8503]

Think you missed the point of it. This is supposed to set up the story of your character. It's what happens after thats squadron 42 and thats what you get to play.

[@PepicWalrus]

We've already seen a full mission later in the game back in 2017 which was pretty much straight gameplay.

[@crsferfer]

It's the prologue of a "Cinematic space adventure game" what did you expect?😂

[@Ryan_Christopher]

Why would there be “fighter gameplay” when the character is not a Fighter Pilot? Didn’t even get accepted into the Flight Academy, remember?

[@maxjergens]

CIG dedicated 12 years to a cinematic that crashed and folks want to blow smoke up their ass when CIG never fixes anything on the live server.

4k60? Hahahahaahahhaaaahahhahahaaa! More like 1080p20

[@cyberletho]

I will try to do a upload of a 21:9 ratio. I had figured that OBS would just record the native aspect ratio it was presented in. I will change some settings to see if I can do so. What monitor do you have. Been thinking of picking up a 21:9 .
