[@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse]

If this game comes even close to delivering what it promises then this will be the first time that I'm going to invest serious money in my rig in over a decade!

[@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse]

One question, though: How do you keep people from being idiots? It's cool that there doesn't seem to much divide between regions but what happens when half a dozen kids want to show off and crash into the base? I mean I get wanting to be silly but after a while that kind of behaviour really kills immersion...

[@Albertrossus]

the consequences. You have to insure your ships in order to get them back after they get destroyed. But this doesnt cover flying mindless into a base, so if you do this on purpose chances are u dont get ur ship back. Big cities on the other hand wont have this "freedom" and they wont let u fly like u want but rather take "control" over ur ship if u try to leave the regular path to the landing pad.

[@AbsintheColour]

so you insure your ships and have one more trite mechanic to do. Itd be really sick if you lost your ship and you just effn lost your ship. are you saying you can lose your effn ship completely, even if it is space insured? lol

[@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse]

AbsintheColour Ya know, this could be mitigated: Insruance prices rise depending on how often you lose the damn ship. And if it reaches a certain point, you get investigated. People could earn additional funds or perks by reviewing replays of the situations. There's potential here ;)

Indeed... I wouldve liked to have been around in the Levski days, although it'll return one day! Very cool to see early gameplay!

[@raf.nogueira]

I remember watching this video at launch of the releasing date, dreaming about playing this game, and reading all the "possibilities" that would bring... Finally today I already play this game for 2 years, and we have such amazing improvements and content already added to the game. With many of the "tools" that they talk about so much almost all are implemented in they studios, and Sq42 closing to release... It's is a well-worth journey... This game will make history.

It’s been 4 years since this video and they still haven’t added that heating/flames on the front of the ship when entering a planet. Let alone the other hundreds of bugs still. This game is many many MANY years from completion still.

[@ravenna6543]

@@Schwing27 They literally just added the re-entry heating and fixed a lot of bugs. I get like 10FPS more than I did in 3.9 (TBF that equates to about 40FPS) AND they added tons of new mechanics, weapons, ships, AND vehicles.....

[@vttoc]

@@Schwing27 Of course its many years away but you do realise in the last patch 3.10 that was quite literally yesterday they added atmospheric drag and re-entry flame effects?

[@failscalator]

@@vttoc While I don't disagree that there has been progress, look at the progress between the prior years to this point. And then think about that it's been 4 years since this video. We don't have in depth missions with interesting comms calls, or interesting twists. The plot of this mission is nowhere near as in depth as this. We're still in the same system with the addition of Hurston, ArcCorp and Microtech. Not to mention the depth of the planet variety that followed that year in Citizencon. It's come along way, of course, but not 'that' far considering the time passed and where it is now. Edit: One thing to add, wouldn't it be nice to have that landing indication system again? :\

[@GreenHooper]

Still in alpha. Has better performance than no mans sky...

[@tane_aq]

performance is arguably worse, but the features in SC take the cake. I can run NMS, but not SC (in its current state), but Star Citizen is going to be so much more fun. This demo made me smile from ear to ear.

[@WoWFtw8]

Seems more interesting than No Multiplayer Sky too.

[@Omaricon]

Not even Arena Commander? Once the netcode is improved AC should be a better representation of performance of the final game.

[@satannstuff]

Performance is only worse if you ignore the fact that SC has much higher detail on everything. It's probably not exactly optimized yet but you're basically comparing games that are multiple generations apart in terms of system requirements. There's absolutely no way you'd be able to run SC on a PS4 even if it wasn't PC exclusive.

[@dickeyseamus]

Currently I can play any of the single player modes, plus the occasional empty server on the PTU and get a solid (capped) 60 fps. Once the server network issues are resolved (gutted and replaced) performance will be much better.

[@Vendell_23]

Thank goodness this a PC exclusive

[@DonZaloog88]

For the most part. Squadron Campaign will be available for consoles at a (much) later time.

[@damingy]

I struggle to believe comments like this are from real people. Trust me, I want this project to succeed but with an opinion like that you must either have no idea what's actually going on or are a shill paid for by Chris Roberts. Ten years, 450 million dollars, a mountain of tech debt, and ALL of their 'core tech' is NOTHING more than MADE UP DESCRIPTIONS with no idea how they will actually be implemented or even work from a technical standpoint. It's now on a DEAD engine which Amazon GAVE AWAY to the Linux foundation because even they knew it was a lost cause and is VERY last gen in comparison to UE5, which will be churning out games for almost a decade before Star Citizen comes out.

[@camerondoyle391]

@@damingy That's not entirely accurate, UE5 cannot be used for space games of the scale of star citizen and elite dangerous and to be frank, I'm not surprised it's taking so long considering they've had to basically remake the engine, imo they would have saved time creating the engine from scratch.

[@cooki3th1ef]

@@damingy the only core tech we're waiting on is Server Meshing, everything else has been more or less 'implemented'. you're misinformed :) and even then, we have a complete understanding of how Server Meshing will work and be implemented.

[@ch3cksund3ad]

@@damingy I keep hearing the people with buyers remorse saying this same thing on repeat(you're just copy and pasting each other at this point). I agree with some of what you said, it has been a long time, and they've gotten a lot of money, the current setup is strange compared to other games. But you fail to see that this game does what so many failed, and could never do. And so much more. I've followed on and off, and recently bought in, gave up Tarkov to start playing this, and I couldn't be happier. I'm a huge gun enthusiast, I have entire kits, buncha guns, it's my favorite real life hobby. So when I say I happily traded my gaming time from Tarkov to Start Citizen, an entirely different game revolving around space and you don't even have to engage in combat at all, that says a lot about how amazing Star Citizen really is.

[@joshmaxwell8767]

To think how far the game has come since then, Levski isn't even in game rn. It was practically unplayable back then. Really is amazing how little there was five years ago.

[@Kortezxero]

Now this is what I'm talking about. This gameplay trailer is a fine example of how things are coming together. I would much rather they take their time and carefully put all the pieces into place and make one hell of a game, then to rush something out to please investors. Good show guys, keep up the good work.

[@Omaricon]

Well the only 'investors' they have are backers. The game is 100% crowdfunded, so they are taking their time luckily. I don't mind waiting, like you I'd rather wait 1-3+ more years for one hell of a game then a rushed game made to please investors now.

[@K4ninchen]

not true, CR has investors he doesn't name. But he has no publisher behind him.

[@Eedd-le6ke]

Investors count for less than 10M$ include CR. Chris dropped others private investors when he saw the flow of $ coming during kickstarter and during the next 6 months.

[@chukku2175]

I basically agree. But don't forget, that "crowdfunded" doesn't equal "they can take their time". Ok, they don't have a fixed deadline for the game, which is very good. But still... the staff of 320+ people needs to get paid monthly. So many wages to pay will eat up even the biggest budget at some point. Let's hope, the pledges keep on coming ;) or even better: let's do our part in this :)

+Account Deleted it hasn't been in development that long. This is incredible for how long they've been working on it. Fallout 4 took 7 years with an engine already set up. They've stripped the CryEngine down and rebuilt it and have it all up to this. It's an Alpha build.

[@CaseJurassic]

That's actually not true, the bad framerate in the mini PU is due to the netcode. Even my GTX970 pulls 60fps steady in online matches and walking in the garage. They actually just said they'll release a major update to the back-end (including netcode) with 3.0.

i dont know. but if you have some headphones, a joint, a recliner, a nice good sized screen, some peace so you can focus with no distractions (if you have kids) , nms is not the complete shit experience the hype train of indy game bashers like to paint broad black strokes about. Im 70 hours in and even at its base without upcoming updates, ive thoroughly enjoyed it. Hell, i want to play now. And whats 60 bucks? i mean, if im not careful with my money i can spend that much over a month and not even know where it went or even be able to account for it. If i take my chick out to eat and spend 60 bucks on food to fill us up for a few hours, i immediately wonder why the fuck i didnt just go to the store and eat dinner for the better part of a week for the same price. Now thats money i usually regret spending. and this is coming from a pretty cheap guy that doesnt buy 65 dollar games on the reg. honestly, though. money i spent on nms is the best money ive spent on a vidya game in a long time. Just my opinion, though. and i dont have a gaming rigged pc ;/ so im talking out of console games basically. anyway, this star citizen game looks really good.

[@kevinpopescu9741]

I think that this planet looked desperately empty. Even more so than in no man's sky

[@TheEternalEye369]

Yeah im afraid Star Citizens planets will be boring as fuck. Its like visiting the moon or mars, the initial awe at their scale will soon be replaced by the realization that there really is nothing to do on them apart from maybe visit a station. Heck, NMS was based around planetary exploration, with procedural animals, plants, etc and people still were complaining that there was nothing to do on them

One day soon hopefully🤞.. but seriously hands-down best looking game ever. What a great job there doing💯👍

[@101wrf]

This game is taking a while to come out, but quality takes time. Chris R isn't accepting anything less than the very best. This will be one of the greatest games ever made when it's done. This demo hints at that and is pretty amazing. Go SC!

[@lllStanlll]

When you look at it it's not taking that much time. GTA 5 took about 4 or 5 years to develop and they already had the previous games to build on. Star Citizen is trying something completely new. I think it feels slow because they've been open about the game since the very beginning. Usually game devs wait for a more advanced product before they announce it. The wait is long, but it looks like it's gonna be worth it :)

[@101wrf]

I agree, plus they started out with a smaller team, and planned on making a smaller game initially. So it's taken a while for them to fill up their workforce and re-adjust the scope of their game. It really pisses me off when douche-bag shows like "The Know", Derek Smart, the Escapist stir up a bunch of drama over unsubstantiated rumors and reports from a few disgruntled former employees. Oh well, none of that matters in the long run!

[@MaartenKok]

Perfect, good or bad advertising is also advertising and people have eyes to compare great Alpha vs scam. DS: the useful idiot.

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

I'm pretty sure an early version had HMD support but it was removed. VR is definitely planned for some distant future.

[@btoiscool]

setite No version of Star Citizen thus far has officially supported any Hmd's. Track IR used to work due to a fluke (and it just barely), but now it doesn't. That's as close as we got. CIg has said that they won't support it until near release.

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

Well unofficial or not it did work, and IIRC they did turn it off on purpose. And as you said, it is promised for one day in the future. I hope CryEngine doesn't make it harder than it would have been with UE4.

[@stuff4ever]

The combat just need a serious improvement, but damn! everything else is good!

[@btoiscool]

ship to ship combat is better than most, and they were playing at some kind of nonsense for the FPS portion. Regardless, things are getting improved all the time. What you're asking for will be in 2.6.

[@dvgsun]

not just combat , did you notice lack of the details on the planet surface , all the frozen bodies in exactly the same position and 20th century guns (looks like Heckler & Koch) in space ? and many many other details , Probably I just want too much, but I see all these things and I do not like it. I am also 100% sure that this game will be the great financial success , but I doubt this game will be in the top 10 of the best PC games ever.

Just like NMS you don't even know if most of this fidelity will remain when the game launches. If it does you can bet that the number of people in each instance will drop.

The number of people in instance only stands to go UP. It's currently limited to 24 by the old netcode. No one knows where it will settle of course, but its not likely to go anywhere but up from here.

[@GrahfUnleashed]

"It's currently limited to 24 by the old netcode." Wow then it's even worse than I thought before when I first started really following this game's development. I heard they could only have around 200 people in a battle instance. I'm curious to see how the new netcode will improve that number.

[@bobh9492]

CIG has to rewrite the netcode to eliminate drawcalls on things you cant see among other things...it takes time, just like rewriting CryEngine to 64 bit precision so we can have multi million kilometer systems not just 8 km squares with skyboxes... which also took time...

[@memesarentfunny2248]

Tylis Wolf There is no way to nail down the exact numbers but the rule of thumb is that advertisement and miscellaneous are generally equal to the production cost. So doubling the "cost" of the game. So no it's not likely that destiny cost that much but maybe 300 mil. None the less we are talking about finnished games here, compared to an unfinished game that would be lucky to come in under 180 million and is more likely to be closer to the 200 million mark and about double that with marketing and such

[@Rex1987]

i gotta say Elite could learn from Star ciziten in terms of how to make mission gives feel alive and interesting. The small video from that shady NPC is alot better than the mission board in Elite. And no i am not trying to bash Elite and say Star citizen is a far better game; those are diffentent games with different ways of getting funded - the more games of this scope the better it is for players that like this kind of game :-)

[@PoisonedAl]

No I feel ya. Just having a static image of the mission giver would add so much more to the game. As is, it a box of text telling you to shoot 5 of this or collect 7 of that.

[@mechamaya]

Well Star Citizen will have a lot of mission board jobs as well, but each planet will have at least a few of these hand crafted quests with full motion capture dialog.

[@Eedd-le6ke]

Agree, ED is improving slowly. A backer of ED and SC speaking. We need them both. Who can't afford to buy two games the same year or 1 each year? Space game need some love.

[@Xaoja]

I enjoyed it for a good while. They have the core down but just lack so much depth that everything gets boring eventually.

[@ZypheREvolvedPCGamer]

I would guess that Frontier did not build the strong foundations that CIG did and wouldn't hold your breath. I believe CIG made their job easier now and in the future by challenging the obstacles withing their jobs i.e. if a software didn't do what they wanted or do it in a way they liked they changed it and made it happen. Including their library of objects, assets, development tools and the engine. CIG done all of that so that they weren't choking years later when competition arrives. It means once the game is released new content can be built far quicker than we've possibly ever seen for any online game. Time will tell and I'm not even sure every games developer out there have caught onto all of what I've typed but I guarantee students will be learning about their approach at University one day. To be clear this is not SC v ED because SC is not complete. What we can do is CIG v Frontier based on what we know about them. We can do CIG versus any studio based on the facts. I'm betting CIG would always come out on top because few other studios release so much information about their project and provide so much access to the developers. That approach is what increases the quality of a product because the responses are constant. Frontier would need to open their team and game right up to the community. I personally feel the nature of persistent space games requires it. I don't think any online persistent universe will ever make the impact CIG has unless the project is transparent and without publisher.

might not be that far off , but more probably you will need a bunch of RAM and VRAM since the game is as shown in the video a "Always loaded" game which when you run out of VRAM or RAM for usage will slow down dramatically.

Still scripting a situation is easy compared to them happening "for real". The demo proves shit, it can be made to work at that specific location and the camera moves all nice and dandy cause they know where u are going to be but in a open world situation things need to be modular.

Blen Miner I highly doubt the part where they had difficulties boarding the ship after landing was scripted or staged. Not to mention the obvious performance drops. Still, why would they stage a demo that will be open for the public? They have never done it before so why start now?

There's an option to turn them off i believe

There will also be an option to feel the bullets burn through your flesh.

Had the discussion in E:D because of this. A friend of mine had an awesome theory, that the sound is simulated, to keep the character sane. How awfull would it be to just hear your breath?

[@Thesamurai1999]

And they can hyper drive?!??!! WTF is wrong with this game!!! It totally sucks man..

[@fmartingorb]

Looking back on this and understanding this is a usual run nowadays and that it took 1 year and a 1/2 to get it done... way better... kudos CIG!!!!

[@peterh-dv1bq]

Playing in 2021.... Wondering wh this is not in game cause its pretty cool 00:30 looks better then than it does now.

[@MrXinshadow]

right? I just did a ME meetup mission, I sat down, Miles had what I can only describe as a stroke while talking to me, started cupping his hand with no drink it in, I'm assuming there should have been a drink there. Then for a spilt second he blinked out of existence, came back, and had that long bowl cut haircut. $370 mil well spent haha

@@MrXinshadow how did you do a miles eckhart mission if delamar doesnt exist😂😂😂

@@noahr9054 have you played recently? He was moved to T&S in Loreville when the ship shops were updated. This was a few months ago.

I think it used outdated tech that no longer works.

[@JOHNAMOUS]

Why do I get the feeling that CIG is holding a lot back about what they have in the game than what they have already?

[@jliaan]

I know its 100% not true but wouldnt it be cool when CIG release squadron 42 a month later a teaser trailer for the next sc update drops and in it 5 new star systems

He didn't say he thought this was from present day, he just said he's glad to see the progress they've made. That could mean he was looking back at this and thinking about the progress they've made the last year. No need to comment this same thing to everyone.
