Star Citizen - Constellation Trailer

[@Deadpoolmasterchief]

Star citizen the only game that will come out in the year it’s based

[@umanuu]

*coughs* Cyberpunk 2077 *cough* *cough*

[@noneofyourbusiness1114]

Is this another cyperpunk ?

[@jordanmaslin9500]

hello from the future. Accurate. Good thing I can cryogenically preserve my mind till then. Oh wait, nope, no I can't. Well, time to have children.

[@sakuyaizayoi1746]

hello I am from the year 2023, the govt is trying to gaslight in us to think they got aliens and most of the public doesn't really care. Star Citizen is still in Alpha

[@matt_wrx]

the 2001 reference is strong in this one

[@3chainz441]

+Matthew Tran Agreed, and so is the Star Trek Voyager one.

[@GalacticOdyssey16]

+Matthew Tran u from 9gag ???

[@fellumee]

+Matthew Tran much too strong

[@Supermanohman]

I was just about to say this seems unoriginal

[@internetbrowser2023]

its unoriginal but such a cool reference for long time SYFI Fans or people who have seen the movie

[@spoork9443]

I love it when the "captain" says "takes us in" or what ever and he's in the pilot chair

[@scottn322]

If this game is really as open as they are trying to make it... A ship like this is the ultimate scifi RP experience. Get some friends, and see where she can take you? Yes please.

[@SirAroace]

With some limitations but yes.

[@SCIFIguy64]

I want randomly generated Aliens, like spore, but a lot better and realistic with random planets.

[@SirAroace]

Joseph Stassup not always

[@SkyHammackDrones]

Scott N You should see the Carrack.

[@thenoobgamer95]

Zack Hammack you should see the bengal. :)

[@Euclid_explorer]

I Remember my older brother showing me this trailer 7 years ago, we were so excited and hyped for this game. Who would've thought 7 years later the game would still be in alpha

[@neonspark707]

well that ship is in game right now as is the rover as is the planets. so...everything there except for the alien dudes is done...instead of alien dudes, you get snippers shooting you in the face :)

[@entofol541]

How long does it take to develop a normal game? Do you want this to end sooner? I don't know what people smoke nowadays, but I've heard this song many times.

[@cielopachirisu929]

Remember, kids, the first thing to do when you find a habitable, life-sustaining, undiscovered planet is to go down to the surface yourself. That way, if there's any murderous locals, extremely dangerous giant animals, flesh-eating viruses, or some kind of odd anomaly that you didn't see coming, it'll affect you instead of, say, a drone you could safely use at first to scout the area, and you'll clear the way for future explorers in that the stories of your terrible deaths will tell them whatever they need to know :D

[@cielopachirisu929]

***** They did too. They just said the planet 'could sustain life' when there were aliens clearly on the surface. Doesn't seem incredibly thorough XD. Even then, diseases, parasites...

[@TheUndefynd1]

There could have been a time skip in between. No reason to assume all of this happened in the span of the commercial. Or it could have been done like this for extra drama.

[@cielopachirisu929]

TheUndefynd1 Well yeah, but for what we know for sure they touched down. Assuming they did other things is conjecture :P. But that said, you got a point. Even if they did, there's every reason to believe this planet is just as diverse as earth. We discover new species of animals every year. A drone doing a periphery scan is a risky thing to put your faith in.

[@MeLikeyFPV]

SNEEZE ON ALL THE THINGS! Free H1N1.

[@sooprcoomr4828]

Imagine the screen time RSI would have to pay for if they want to include the whole process in their ad.

[@419chris419]

After the planetary trailer... this constellation trailer doesn't seem like a pipe dream anymore.

[@Clint945]

+419chris419 Connie can still only land on planets with atmospheres though... since it uses those turbofans to land. Well... technically the Connie can "land" on a planet with no atmosphere but it wouldn't be taking off again :P

[@AtlasMKII]

+Clint Unless the planet has fairly low gravity, then it could use its maneuvering thrusters to point the nose upward enough for take off.

[@Clint945]

acidlion1 True, not sure what the in-game mechanics will be like with different planet sizes and atmospheres. We know that they're modelling atmospheres so I assume they'll have some effect on the ships.

[@propensitytoward6760]

The new Terrapin ship from Anvil that just got released had a thing its in Q&A that said it was so bulky and armored and not very aerodynamic in atmosphere. They said it would probably be safer to dock it in space and then land in another vessel if there were storms on the planet or a turbulent atmosphere as it can't maneuver.

[@DimensionalMan]

Finally a new AAA game about aliens. I'm getting tired of zombies.

[@zacharymollohan3346]

1. This is not a AAA game, it's just an indie game that managed to raise a butt ton of money and 2. Its more about space than aliens.

[@Hugo-pj4bm]

Whats ur definition of "AAA"?

[@DimensionalMan]

I meant AAA Quality sorry guys

[@thedarkestlotus]

I agree with you about zombies. Even though I find Dying Light and Dead Island cool games, I can't take another zombie game anymore, it's getting stupid and overhyped.

[@williamgallagher796]

Yep there are way too many zombie games coming, I want another good Sci Fi Star Wars game, even if battlefront is amazing I want another one to come out in like 2016/2017 Star Wars republic commando would be amazing

[@aaronpomeroy2579]

this aged like a fine wine time traveler from 2020 its not done but its still lit af

[@DBcoopers10]

2022 here, still not done

[@juicebowl]

@@DBcoopers10 2023 here, the future is rough but they are still working on it. Looking to receive transmission from 2024 soon.

[@JohannVF]

This game has literally taken more time to create than it took to wage and lose the Vietnam War....

[@Rex1987]

this reminds me of Prometheus in a lot of ways.

[@muhahhhaaa]

+Duck of death Everything space-y is basically 2001.

[@Lambda_Ovine]

Maybe because the trailer is excellent but the actual product might not be that good?

[@robertonome2448]

The ship design is very similar (to the one seen in the film). +To Athánatos Nope... Even the alpha is already pretty good as a game. Not to mention the fucking 3.0 demo.

[@Mr_HandsomeFace]

I immediately thought the same thing when they were coming into the atmosphere. Good catch lol

[@revolver2750]

The start reminded me so much of Spore.

[@revolver2750]

marco streng Now that i rewatched it the sounds seems to be a perfect match to ... i think it was going to the tribal phase even the sounds the sounds the alien makes it's way to similar.

[@revolver2750]

Yea i rememberd that but isn't that kinda copywrighted?

[@devo229]

2001

[@PimpMatt0]

PC community so much nicer than Console community.

[@ChristheBarker]

not really you still get fanboys which are the ones how say "master race" other then them their ok

[@nailed999]

What? Idiots and nice ppl are everywhere..

[@PimpMatt0]

***** Have you played CS:GO? They are nice to noobs compared to LoL.

[@Justanaveragetree]

I'd say half of them are good, forth are fine, and a forth are assholes saying they have the best community.

[@zdawg3579]

Xbox has by far the biggest ratio of "13 year olds" to mature players, but overall, any fanboys ruin it for everyone and makes gaming communities shitty.

[@Fizzlefuse]

Strange how, when this trailer came out, most of us were sceptical of if Star Citizen, and specifically planets with atmosphere and atmospheric flight, would ever look this good. Now the demo at CitizenCon '16 actually looks BETTER then this trailer. That just blows my MIND.

[@Strangething90]

i'm still sceptical if landings will ever look this cool though ;) maybe some pilots can pull it off

[@Fizzlefuse]

Yeah the landing is pretty nice. Right now it still feels like landing a brick, but the CitizenCon '16 "homestead" demo did show they're putting in the shock absorbers on landing gear so it should animate more smoothly.

[@IAmDirtyDonuts]

as long as RSI doesn't do what ubisoft does and tank the graphics right before the release, it will automatically be a hit. cant wait to buy it.

[@Fizzlefuse]

I doubt it. CIG and Chris Roberts pride themselves in pushing PC gaming to its limits. Many people will likely need to upgrade when the game launches.

[@IAmDirtyDonuts]

I'm already upgrading so i can play the alpha and the full game when it releases.

[@LoopyELBARTO]

Did anyone else had goosebumps because of the idea us humans are able to travel in great distance besides or neighboring planets. just the idea of it gives me the chills

[@particle0]

Are there any tentacle aliens in this game?

[@sidcros9444]

rel00p No.

[@lorderectus7635]

Awwww 😔

[@DjangoLowe]

rel00p maybe... we don't know. what we do know is that there are a handful of humanoid aliens. and they stated there will be none humanoid aliens.

[@SpadeEnare]

+rel00p Maybe on Europa

[@KevinP32270]

+Niko Raptis i see what you did there lol.

[@Shadowkey392]

I love how they're making this look like an advertisement for this particular ship. It's a clever tactic!

[@blackwood7775]

I bet the first clan ever made in the game will be called starfleet

[@Kickstandsup83]

There are already hundreds of organizations "clans" in the game.

[@blackwood7775]

well I bet its one of them

[@Kickstandsup83]

I do believe you are right. :)

[@fdangleshadang-a-lang7149]

i bet on guardians of the galaxy

[@aaronexus]

The Brown Coats beat the trekkies there first, actually. (Full disclosure: I'm one of them :P )

[@MitchMaker]

the fact that you actually can be a space explorer in star citizen is best point about it.

[@JapicanStudios]

Plot twist: 2954 is the release date

[@animalportal1661]

2945*

[@starflame34]

This trailer alone has more exploration than Star Trek Online ever did.

[@ChristianPriedl]

The beginning reminds me of Spore. Anyone else?

[@gongal]

I'd say it reminds me of 2001 Space Odyssey but whatever

[@zdawg3579]

gongal Different generations haha

[@ChristianPriedl]

Zachary Fox I know its from 2001 Space Odyssey. Just the part with the stick is so reminiscent of Spore

[@kaktotak8267]

Chris Husky Go watch the movie already.

[@gongal]

Chris Husky Part with the stick is exactly what was taken from 2001 Space Odyssey ;)

[@Raider7742]

I love the dramatic music of all SC's trailers

[@Volgrand]

Now we just need a game for this trailer!

[@ipkeez]

This commercial got me. Just upgraded my Andromeda to Aquila! I can't get enough of this commercial! So well made! The idea of it, truly professional! Talent being used to bring us fun (not lying and alse propagnd we are so used to... )! Awesome!

[@JokerIllidan007]

Why is that alien wearing a sextoy ?

[@jdfef]

Adeptus mechanicus discovering the t'au

[@xPrevailingGaming]

Can I run on last gen consoles?

[@ThePuma1707]

its will be only available for PCs

[@TheBigJame_]

Hahahahahaha

[@xPrevailingGaming]

+ThePuma1707 What?? Aw man, I was hoping to play this on my Wii :(

[@SuperFranzs]

You could try, but it would hurt your feet...

[@reversEngiener]

+Vande it's coming out for game boy but you need a gbc

[@k35magnum]

I've already backed this, but I gotta be honest - this seems kinda ballsy/ showing "planetside" in a pre-rendered trailer when the hanger and arena commander are still glitchy as fuck. Not to demean Cloud Imperiums' efforts, but as others have pointed out, Frontier (Elite Dangerous) has managed to produce much more playable content in less time for less money. I'm sure it will come together eventually, but it does make me somewhat worried about my investment in terms of the short term goals they claim to be keeping to.

[@Benjd0]

Well Elite has always been scheduled to be ahead of SC, it's release is literally months away. They're focusing on a much smaller part of the gameplay to start off with at launch and planning on adding more in expansions. Star Citizen has a lot more features being developed in parallel, on top of the single-seaters dogfighting, we got to see a bit of multi-crew ship gameplay yesterday, some planetside content, and an FPS combat teaser for PAX Australia. Although some of that is planned for Elite, it's going to be a while before you see most of it. Plus Elite is being developed by a 20 year old company that has it's own engine, funding from previous games and private investors, so they had a head start while CIG were building a development team and training them up in using CryEngine for Star Citizen.

[@Rogonvr]

kills your worries. play Elite dangerous for 2 years and comeback play star citizen. or give/sell your star citizen account to someone. ^_^ v

[@k35magnum]

***** Not in game animation or post-fx. Real time gameplay never quite lives up to "in game" trailer footage, but we'll see.

[@shanzulwhiteglintt3919]

I feel elites going to be what Wildstar was expected to be and that SC is what World of Warcraft is going to be. as Wildstar it shows less and seems like a smaller version of SC maybe i dunno it could change. but in the end when it does come out people will get tired of it. as for SC theres so much you will "POSSIBLY" be able to do as WoW compared to WS.

[@animalportal1661]

Elite dangerous has been developed for more time, and I'm getting far more glitches in it than arena commander

[@riceeatingflip]

Is this in game graphics?

[@Djdkfks]

Yes

[@parkourdood]

But you can only get these graphics with 3000€ computer.

[@chickengiraffe4473]

parkourdood by the time it comes out, itl be 30 bucks computer

[@Mass40KGaming]

parkourdood Not true but nice try.

[@GladiatorMuffin]

No this is patrick

[@PIXLEXX]

this is a truly impressive homage to 2001. loved every minute of it :D

[@Sp33dyStallion]

So excited. Please, this game needs to be well optimized... please!

[@Sp33dyStallion]

yeah no kidding :P

[@Sp33dyStallion]

***** Ubisoft couldn't think of making such an amazing game anyhow. They probably have allergic reactions at the thought.

[@Sp33dyStallion]

Buying better hardware is nice and all, but some of us simply don't have, and wont have the money unless we find $2000 on the ground.

[@quacktac]

It's Cryengine, so it should run pretty well.

[@tonidicarlo11]

Quacktics are Go Plus being PC exclusive should make the game very scalable. I expect a lot of graphic settings.

[@GeffenAvraham]

What's crazy is that when this commercial was made, it was supposed to be just for fun. Exploring unknown planets and contacting alien species wasn't even a planned feature at the time. Now, that's changed.

[@CrispyCalamity]

2945 is when the game comes out

[@adriancueto4085]

xD

[@carr3987]

wow never heard that joke before.......

[@CrispyCalamity]

k cool

[@darkthought784]

to ps and xbox.

[@LycaneX]

jajajajajaja xD

[@Dark-hb8cb]

what about Mercury Star Runner trailer? :D

[@flyingpharoah4867]

Prime directive where are you ?

[@DjangoLowe]

FlyingPharoah 486 read the fine print at the end for a chuckle.

[@AlaskanTrain21]

+Django Lowe I was actually gonna say, watching over this again and reading the lore, one of the first things I thought was "Doesn't this totally violate the Fair Chance Act?"

[@Yuzral]

+AlaskanTrain21 Just remember - enslaving the local Protolithic population is only illegal if you get caught...

[@carso1500]

+Yuzral like in the real life, star citizen is soo real

[@neojack333]

"just kill them all and terraform this shitty hole, we have a rent to pay" anyway, by reading the lore, it seems that the colonization / terraforming private companies who don't care for local life. The explorers feed them with data from the newfound planets. In star citizen, space is the new far west

[@mimiya1A]

Monolith from 2001 Space Odyssey?@2:16

[@JohnboySK64]

I can't even begin to explain how confusing this trailer and game are to me. Wtf was that? A trailer within a trailer within a game??wtf kind of game is this? Third person? First person? Shooter? RPG? Flight simulator? I genuinely have not a fucking Scooby what is going on. Beam me fucking up Scotty.

[@ali21mh]

it can be played as a first person or third and its also a RPG and a space flight sim

[@ashertaz]

Yes.

[@Icetubexd]

The correct term for it would be awesome.

[@ali21mh]

No need to be mean :(

[@Tilyard123456]

Space simulator, with space and planet exploration with FPS mechanics and ship boarding, multi crew spaceships. Need I say more?

[@dukstuf]

This trailer is meant as an "in game" commercial for selling this model ship- like a GM ad of today, presented like a story to sell product. It IS shot in engine- that's the actual Constellation in game, not something animated outside it. The angles and shots are obviously captured in game with a camera view, where you will play the game in first person or from behind the character/ship. Planetary exploration is slated for the game, just not likely at game release. The little armed rover has been announced/comes with the ship. The game is still pre-Alpha, and it's easily the most ambitious space sim/combat/exploration MP game of all time. I've been following it since Kickstart, and it' seems to me it's on track and looks fantastic, and the combat is amazing in testing.

[@connernickerson5509]

So many first contact protocol violations in this video...HELLO, scan for life first! Unless, of course, it's something you think you can transplant.

[@Liscom]

In in-game-lore, this is a commercial for the Constellation Aquila by RSI.

[@CameronSmith_New_Felinus]

"No alien lifeforms were harmed and no ecospheres were tampered with in the making of this commercial." XD

[@Irondrone4]

There are a lot of stupid arguments going on down in this comment section, aren't there?

[@DeepakTheDevastator]

The First scene was from 2001 : A Space Odessey !! Really looking forward to play this game...

[@krimsonfel3676]

That 2001 Space Odyssey referencing tho.

[@Liscom]

Glad you got those subtle references hidden between the lines ;-).

[@krimsonfel3676]

Walter White Its not that hard to pick out if you've seen the movie tho. :P

[@Liscom]

Krispy Kimson You don't say :-)? My remark was ironic.

[@krimsonfel3676]

Walter White xD

[@smashypeople]

loving those Spore easter eggs/ references

[@spilledcoffee2788]

golum is that you?

[@Turanic1]

So much 2001, Voyager and Prometheus love in this trailer

[@diabloflp]

his game requires a nasa pc, -_-

[@Giliver]

Nahh

[@armv7-m603]

Felipe Colares Nope, I built one that should be able to run it very well for $1500, I'm sure you can even build one for less.

[@rogzvr9103]

Felipe Colares i7 4720HQ GTX 970M medium setting 50+ fps @1080p

[@theaquila934]

MrDapper You´re right! I build one a few weeks ago for only 1130€ / 1283$. Got a nice XPredator White Edition Hardcase, Intel i5 4690K with 3,5 Ghz to 4 Ghz Turbo and a Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 ( Gigabyte G1 Super Overclocked Edition ) Graphiccard. It´s a beast :D

[@Boe_VT]

Felipe Colares I know this is super late..lol. You have to take into account that this game is still poorly optimized. They are working on making it preform better. The ultimate goal for game performance is usually to make the game be able to run decently on the minimum required PC specs on low-medium(ish) graphics settings.

[@vargil000]

i liked the transition between the bone and the spaceship .. kinda reminds me of Kubricks's A space odyssey.

[@ryanhowser5908]

Personally this game being set in 2945 is kinda ridiculous, I would think something more realistic would be like in 2300-2400 maybe.

[@Clint945]

Space is Hard. 2945 isn't too unlikely. Also there's a lot of back story and it's not been a smooth ride for humanity in the meantime. Large wars, dictators, "dark ages" type stuff.

[@ryanhowser5908]

Clint well look at it this way, we went from horses to space in less then a thousand years, so it seems to me that going from space, to farther into space would be easier, and even though we had wars and bad times, I think we would be a little more advanced in space travel then the equivalent of a space truck.

[@Clint945]

Yes, but much of the technology in this game is actually not even allowed by modern physics. Whereas the mathematics of rocketry (that are still used today) was devised over 100 years ago. This game is set in an era where owning a spacecraft is the same as owning a car, (hence the adverts) Not only that, but the components are so compact that you can have surface to orbit space fighters. To launch even an Aurora sized ship into orbit with today's technology would require thousands of gallons of fuel, several launcher stages and something like 1000 ground staff from project start to finish. In Star Citizen, you just hop in and launch off. It's FAR more advanced than our space travel. However, I'll give you that it's hard to predict progress as it happens at different rates.

[@ryanhowser5908]

Clint well we can at least agree that it will take a long time to develop tech and get to a level like this, no doubt, but there are vehicles being built and developed that can launch off a runway and into orbit, so I at least think it won't take almost 1000 years to get to a level of highly commercialized space travel, but maybe a few hundred.

[@PotatoWheel]

Ryan Howser You're assuming that our technology and scientific knowledge will continue to grow exponentially for all of time. It is very possible that at some point down the road we will hit a peak in our understanding of the universe. We may very well develop FTL technology within the next 100 or 200 years but it's not a guarantee that we'll be able to greatly improve that technology during the following century.

[@RazordraacGaming]

Anyone know the music from 2:00 onwards?

[@EstablishedFlight]

9 years...

[@Doomguy-777]

10 years.

[@toblesspringfield3304]

Got to love how they refered to Spore in their intro xD

[@John-uw2je]

In the future, we advertise new found planets with the marks left behind from our shoes. Great, i cant even get off my planet to stop seeing ads...

[@SlothGuru]

+Oscar Gonzalez Better use AdBlocker Space version

[@redsharktooth22]

Now that I've watched 2001: A Space Odyssey I can appreciate this trailer even more...

[@jade43296]

Come back in a few millenia and the inhabitants of the planet will be worshiping their ship like a god, wearing tattoos of the "RSI" logo on their feet.

[@victorcachat]

This reminds me so much of the Mako and the first Mass Effect ! Now I'm getting REALLY interested in this game ! When is it coming out ?

[@pkerch00b1]

Still a long way to go they end of 2015 when everything goes as planned. But they are releasing the game in 'modules" theyre chunks of the big mmo that this game is going to be. There is the hangar module where you can check out your ships, arena commander is the spaceflight part where you can fight against ai and other players then there is the fps module which will be released soon and then the planetside stuff which is exploring getting quests buying and trading all that. Its a crazy ambitiuos game but so far it looks damn good and the money keeps rolling in so they have the means to build this.

[@mdesc1980]

2023 now... Soon 😅

[@ZeroX1986]

3:33 pause and read its lol

[@RoadRunner217]

Do all the variants have a vehicle or only the phoenix?

[@mofomanx10]

Console Peasants, just remember that this game is over 2 years away from completion. The reason why you're seeing anything at all is directly related to the RSI raising over 50 Million for Star Citizen. Enjoy being stuck at 1080p for the next 6 years, running a GPU that came out 2 years ago.

[@MDUmairKh]

Campaign will release in mid 2015 . MMO part will go beta at the end of 2015 , while final build will go live in early 2016 .

[@YzRavenzY]

Actually the GPU is 4 years old.

[@Lucuskane]

I haven't played on a PC for 7 years, but I still back SC monthly, stop hating console gamers, most of is are just "gamers" doesn't matter where you play does it?

Zachary Fox I'm sorry Zachary... I'm afraid I can't do that. I can't let a videogame jeopardize my wallet.

[@Kickstandsup83]

***** $40 will jeopardize you wallet? Or the fact that once to buy a pack you wont be able to stop?

[@MrTitanosaurus]

Jeff Hanshew The fact that I don't have a $2000 PC.

[@howdyhowdyhowdyhowdyhowdy]

***** you can run this game fine on a pc costing half that. $1000

is that mean in SC you can land on and explore planets?

[@propensitytoward6760]

I love that we can literally do this in the game! Roberts said if you wanted to get out of your ship and walk entirely around the planet you could.....but it would literally take you months of constant walking.

[@freyahaz]

looks like it was inspired by space odyssey

[@EcstasyTiger]

just a little, right?

[@96TeenSpirit]

nah, didn't catch any of that. Looks more like a Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles rip off to me

[@TerrorTerros]

''i'm afraid I can't let you do that''

[@freyahaz]

ahaha

[@AlpacaNYC]

Was this a tribute for 2001"A Space Odyssey or is there MORE to it? Similar story perhaps? And anybody notice how similar the ship and space suits are to the ones in Ridley Scott's Prometheus?

[@pkerch00b1]

Its a tribute

[@jackfraser1807]

I don't get how exploring can be interesting with only premade Star Citizen areas? Elite works because it's procedural.

[@Imabeatyouman]

It's not totally pre made. Also people can plot jump points.

[@Benjd0]

There will be a certain amount of procedural content for release for exploration, just not full on planetary generation. You'll also get regular content patches adding new things to find, and things will change naturally like some new jump points can appear, shortening trade routes or leading to new systems.

[@jackfraser1807]

TehDocc Ah, I see how that might work then. Still, it'll be interesting to see how that holds up against E:D's fully procedural worlds.

[@dumpygrimbo8623]

Jack Fraser (sorry for bringing up a week-old thread) E:D's procedural generation both works and doesn't work. It works because theres an infinite amout of planets and star systems to find. It doesn't work because, using an RNG, multiple systems are bound to be similar, if not identicle. It kinda takes the novelty out of exploration, imo.

[@anomolousmaterials4459]

Inebriated Skunk I dont see how it takes the novelty out, honestly.

[@ferguskemp4315]

I may sound like a pc elitist but I really hope this doesn't get ported to consoles. Seeing too many games being dumbed down to run on them. Its nothing about not wanting people to play this, its about retaining quality that can only be achieved on pc.

[@JetForceGem]

Jus makes me want it more can't wait for it to officially come out

[@schmiddy1998]

does this mean we can explore planets or is this game just dogfighting

[@icosiel]

Explore planets and space, even has ground vehicles too. It's pretty much going to be a living, breathing universe where you can do pretty much anything and go anywhere. It has taken a while but it looks like all their work is slowly coming together.

[@DavidKnowles0]

Will Lowe I doubt you be able to explore the whole planet surface,not with the limited cryengine they are using.

[@icosiel]

They are using a modified version of the cryengine and are exploring the use of procedural content. I understand where you coming from with limitations of the engine and vast planets, still, we will have to wait and see how it pans out. Would be nice to see full procedural planets in the cryengine as opposed to the method mass effect used of limiting to to a small section.

[@DavidKnowles0]

Will Lowe It would be great to explore the whole planet surface with the highest graphics cry-engine can produce, I'm not convince it can be done. I would love to be proven wrong.

[@icosiel]

Same here, star citizen has some great aspirations with a limited budget. It's starting to come together nicely atm but I can't see the limited audience shelling out much more for the same. I think in similar terms, it would be nice if they figured out how to create vast procedural world's in the cryengine, but I expect them to compromise on their vision. I think many people, including myself, will be quite happy to be proven wrong.

[@matcotech]

Is this coming out on (insert potato)?

[@jarnomeekes6756]

they better not fuck this up like destiny

[@Gtav123]

Star citizen is overhyped.. The game is not even coming to steam so good luck with that.

[@jarnomeekes6756]

Gtav123 please dont talk about overhyped when your profile picture is the bungie logo

[@Exotic_Tofu]

rekt lmao

[@syph365]

landing on a planet where the natives had just violently smashed a lesser being. I can just see the good times ahead

[@enemay]

Seems like every video game video today is filled with Xbox fanboys posting some stupid shit like, "Xbox One is better than PS4" followed by 50 thumbs up, goes to show the fanboyism that's always been with the Xbox community.

[@johnnyw9922]

so yours trying to tell me that the ps3 and pc fanboys arnt just as bad?

[@enemay]

johnny webb yup, definately, look at majority of ps4 hating comments and the ammount of thumbs up, even on videos like this that has nothing to do with the 'console war', and play online on xbox from the 360 days to today, definately more mature crowed on the Playstation, I'm not saying there aren't fanboys for ps4 I'm just saying its worst with Xbox.

[@ryanswift3651]

enemay more mature groud on playstation are you on drugs. Xbox and playstion both have equal haters of each consle.

[@DavidKnowles0]

Microsoft is paying a lot of money to a lot of people to astrosurf articles such as these. It

[@enemay]

Ryan Swift I have my life experience to tell me other wise, go and surf around on game videos, there is a whole lot more Fanboy comments against PS4 followed by a whole lot of thumbs up, and I speak for experience of online play from previous gen, there are just so much more 15 year olds on XBOX cursing from here to the moon, but hey maybe because previous gen Xbox actually had a more successful run, meaning more kids, just maybe that's the explanation, but still wouldn't change the fact.

[@matthewami]

why does the capt sound like he just ate something hot the entire time?

[@hogkill64]

The guy voicing the captain sounds like he weighs about 500 pounds.

[@KrzysztofKotarba]

no wonder devs say consoles are too weak for that game... this looks insane and it's still early developement

[@w0mblemania]

JJ Abrams called: he wants his lens flares back.

[@bobdotexe]

Awesome intro!

[@nickpowser4813]

The Spore reference is strong in this one.

[@GuardianLords]

3:13, wait so we have FTL communication and FTL travel but still use gas engines?

[@Ynoita]

we have internet but still use books.

[@user-YuHaoHuang]

actually no, we can still only use warps JUST LIKE THE EMPRAH

[@DawryMike]

I'm very cautiously excited

[@ChufnCo]

WTF that's the cut-scene when you go from creature to tribal in spore!

[@FrostbitexP]

Actually both games ripped that off from a movie. Called "Space Odessy"

[@ChufnCo]

oh yeah i forgot that thanks

[@ChufnCo]

Yeh I have seen it but not in a long time. Thanks anyway.

[@marvluebke]

And that's how the vanduul were made..

[@robertprice965]

We need a machinima about a constellation crew

[@gawee08]

That was an amazing reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Great trailer.

[@insectgoo]

Holy Endothermic anomaly! That was.... Exuberant!

[@davidszabo3026]

Awesome video! Beautiful tribute to the 2001: A Space Odyssey movie. Very touching. :))

[@fracture333]

[@RKoRated93]

This game is going to be a master piece,can't fucking wait man

[@domanater480]

This reminds me of prometheus landing i love that ship

[@mrxenomorph4538]

The begining reminded me of spore when you start the tribal stage

[@zact866]
