[@MistaMoshi]

I honestly prefer detailed planets over quadrillions of planets with no personality.

[@myst0307]

Preach.

[@TheTiloz]

Amen to that.

[@srewolfhall8750]

I know right, and this is just the first layer. Chris was saying how each planet will have a theme like Star Wars. A water planet sounds pretty damn shiney!

[@intensitydigital]

Actually I think they have a similar planet Generation system

[@brendanfrazer4148]

+intensity digital nanda, Maybe a couple hundred, but all largely hand crafted with only the so to speak broad strokes handled by automatic generation on each world

[@Mr_Galaxxy]

I'm so glad to have been a part of this project since the beginning. I'm really excited for the future of this project. SNOW WORLD HERE I COME!

[@HopTzop]

Chill out guys, there will be many snow worlds for all of us to enjoy.

[@jmh1189]

lies! you just want it for yourself!

[@negan6233]

Snow world belongs to me,everything is!

[@jmh1189]

+Negan Damn you Negan!!!

[@greenalien5509]

You all can have all of the snow worlds. I'm going to find me an uncharted water world with an Island and live on a tropical paradise.

[@redjumping]

My graphics card just ran out of the house and is hiding in the bushes

[@buunuu.]

Now THIS, is a real game.

[@tsgxvenom29]

right

[@SamuraiPie8111]

more like scheme

[@xIconikkxGaming]

Exactly...

[@sartanko]

This is not a game, this is another world.

[@xIconikkxGaming]

Dan Slash Hahaha

[@toasterbomb135]

Star Citizen is looking absolutely incredible! I can't wait to see 3.0!

[@Cander5142]

To me the 3.0 demo is the first time SC looks like a game and not a tech demo and have avoided playing the current alpha universe. 3.0 will be the first time I start playing it.

[@orioncorgard7111]

To be fair it's in an alpha and well the term is used more ambiguously it's suppose to mean internal testing. It's suppose to be a tech demo fleshing out into a game and 3.0 seams to be the point where the game starts to show. Now there are countless reasons why CIG have an almost public alpha (Chris Roberts thinking of the fans as if they're the board at a software company, the ability to test multiplayer functionality with more than just the people at the company, ect) but you're right as think of star citizen as a tech demo until now.

[@xIconikkxGaming]

I played the updates to check them out, but wasn't much to do! I can't wait for 3.0

[@chappy0061]

It is still a tech demo. It will remain as one until it has all the intended features and goes into Beta.

[@starfoxfxfreak]

That's fair enough Cander! Glad to see a neutral standpoint from somebody that isn't super negative or positive.

[@mastrtonberry2]

Welcome aboard! I highly recommend Dual Thrustmaster T16000M sticks if you want to feel more immersed in flight. They're inexpensive and very well made. I love mine.

[@nubAsia]

My grandchildren will love it when it finally comes out :D But, if somehow the full version gets released in my lifetime, I will probably have a kid by then or something and no time to play. Life is so unfair.

[@eddiebernaise6180]

too true

[@rixxycolonel1177]

You'll be surprised. If gaming is in your blood so I'm sure you'll play when you get a chance.

[@nubAsia]

Of course I will. Just worried about the slow development. Considering all the suspicious staff about this project, If the 3.0 doesn't actually get released this year I will lose my faith in this game.

[@rixxycolonel1177]

Did you actually buy it? I lost faith last year when my game just crashed constantly. When they patched it with 2.4 they got rid of a huge number of bugs so now I really enjoy the game a lot

[@nubAsia]

I don't want them to release the full game this year, I know this will take another 2 or 3 years. Only would be nice if 3.0 comes out, as they promise. How is that unrealistic high? :)

[@GREGALBU]

After this presentation i bought the mustang pack , congrats

[@greenalien5509]

Now buy upgrades. Don't resist the urges.

[@GraphicallyChallenged]

Mustang is soooo buggy for me to get into it.

[@Aonobaka29]

If i were you i would upgrade it in a avenger titan later, it's handable and pretty fast ship. multifonctionnal and can take cargo in it.Or just keep it and practice arena commander a lot until you get yourself to the commands and rent some ships with recs

[@aaronvasquez4183]

Make sure to play arena to get REC so you can try other ships and weapons.

[@ph11p3540]

Enjoy and don't forget help crew other bigger ships. Most players will be more than happy to welcome you aboard.

[@johnnypatterson77]

Watching this in 2020, even though the game has changed a bit it's still pretty much the same after four years.

[@SIRCAM73]

The best damn space sim ever! ....keep the good work, take all the time you need, we are with you.

[@ZombieMurdock667]

a ladder pops out of a hatch and everyone jizzes their pants.

[@boohuxley9361]

If you listen to Chris that's because it had been faulty previously.

[@ZombiePotatoSalad]

Some fish swim away from you, and everyone jizzes their pants, and everyone else within 10 feet. Call of Duty, the forefront of technology.

[@NATESOR]

they land on a planet and someone exits the spaceship and there's a thunderous applause. Like wow. Your game is no functioning at it's most bare basics... I guess you get excited it didn't crash to desktop when you've blown thousands of dollars on imaginary spaceships for a game that doesn't exist yet.

[@iNuchalHead]

I liked the part when everyone lost bowel control when he showed a slide that said "SC Alpha 6.0".

[@NORxDRONExAT01]

eat a cookie

[@GraphicallyChallenged]

SEE THIS UBISOFT? IN ENGINE AND REAL TIME. Git gud.

[@Qsaws_]

Yeah but ubisoft games have release date, also most of their gameplay video are in engine/real time but they usually remove stuff from it for the final release for stability reasons.

[@GraphicallyChallenged]

+Qsaws And the gameplay is garbage, and they downgrade the visuals, ect, ect.

[@GraphicallyChallenged]

+Qsaws they remove it for console parity. Its a joke.

[@Qsaws_]

***** Yeah console parity is a bitch

[@Dreez76]

Its spelled Ubishit, not Ubisoft.

[@darunya7648]

Almost a year later, i'm watching this presentation, and my heart is still hitting hard as it was during the live...

[@klusps]

better than no man's sky

[@ParasiteXX]

Elite 2 from 1993 is better than No Mans Lie :P

[@awesome9174]

Duh.

[@raaaaaaaaaam496]

+ParasiteX Bubsy 3D is better than No Mans Sky.

[@ParasiteXX]

GamingRanger Watching paint dry is more exciting than No Mans Farts

[@doid3r4s]

It's not even a contest.

[@Tebb_ZA]

Phenomenal presentation, congrats everyone. Breaking new grounds with this title, cant wait til final release!

[@romdogg1994]

breaking PCs*

[@ravenna6543]

I love coming back to watch these. It's good to see how far you have come. Keep going CIG I BELIEVE. ad astra!

[@Freehotdawgs]

Man, they really need to get someone besides Jared to control the cameras, he was fucking up the last times hahaha

[@AlbertoMartinez765]

But then how can we all say Red One?

[@xavierh.5102]

god damn it jared

[@angrodNumenesse]

I don't think Jared is running the cameras directly. If this demo was anything like the last one there is a bunch of German guys running the cameras and Jared tells them which one to switch too. Not the most efficient system hence why the view didn't always switch in a timely manner. Still Jared's fault. :P

[@scottsaren4678]

Lol He doesn't actually run the cameras, but he's in control of the people running them.

[@jamakasis18]

Haven't seen a crowd this excited about ladders and shit xD

[@lwanajames1212]

ROFL, Nice troll

[@greenalien5509]

Well, when said ladder hasn't worked til now it is pretty great to finally see it working.

[@rvsound3037]

The ladder is working since 2.4 .

[@STR33TSofJUST1C3]

It's even more exciting than the crowd who cheered for the helmet flip a couple of years ago.

[@jamakasis18]

TBH, i think when it ships, it will get no man's sky reactions/reviews and given all that hype and amount of money invested it will be a shitstorm no one has ever seen before xD

[@NightRider-]

that was very kind of Sandi Gardiner to mention and thank the volunteer moderators that are online at the start of the Star Citizen Gamescom 2016 Presentation.

[@NogginEgg]

27:11 That's what I know will make this game great: Quality over quantity. Who fucking cares if you can go to a billion different planets if they're all copy-pasted bland as hell piles of shit aka no man's sky?

[@Idolismo]

My thoughts exactly mate! I'm not hating NMS (I haven't even played it) but I rather have a few, different planets with different environments and conditions than "procedurally generated" copies.

[@cool06alt]

and dense megapolis that cover entire planet, i swear i see that one in the trailer. it would be awesome if they make it like new mombasa in halo

[@xxCrimsonSpiritxx]

That's EXACTLY my point, thank you for speaking it beforehand

[@silverback1138]

I have NMS and I'm pretty disappointed with it. I've put 8 hours into it and nothings been different in the first 2 hours. It's a large galaxy with nothing but a mining/upgrade grind.

[@HellRa1z3r]

Some generated planets, and a few detailed planets would be nice.

[@srenstraarupfrederiksen313]

Please no sounds in space but more internal noises from the ship, whether or not you think that's boring, which I don't, it's the way it is. At least an off button in the menu, and please let us be able to turn of the soundtrack also, I listen to rock while I fly.

[@BGIANAKy]

Um... You can shut it off

[@RoballTV]

They use the same explanation that Eve Online uses, sim sound, your ship/suits computers analyse events and project them as audio input in a simulated atmosphere to help with spacial awareness. Doesn't really make 100% sense, but only hearing internal sounds would get dull, they do it on some maps in Mechwarrior online, and it's fun, but limiting.

[@coaltionforces]

If you want a truly realistic space sim there is rogue system coming out in a year or so, its like the DCS of space sims. No sound from space and all that realistic stuff, with buttons on the control console for every function check it out.

[@SkyForceOne2]

They should atleast dampen outside sounds.

[@srenstraarupfrederiksen313]

coaltionforces I checked out 'Rogue system' no fun value at all, pure simulation. I love Star Citizen, I am no longer a console gamer because of it, just those pesky sounds in space that annoy me.

[@soulesx8074]

This happens when you make a game for PC and not Console.

[@planelander]

Ive watched the demo 3 times.... I just can't wait!

[@JamyAlt]

yay sound at the start, now I can hear the intro

[@kwent86]

I had 30 mins to watch the stream before I left for work. The stream delayed 30 mins....lol. I stayed a few mins extra to see no sound. O well, with SC you learn patience.

[@reinborn8667]

The only thing I regret is not being with Star Citizen from the start. I only became a backer half a year ago and I wish I was there to see the game built from nothing into what it one day will be. I firmly believe that Star Citizen will revolutionize PC gaming.

[@canisrah]

Is it just me or have they finally addressed that horrendous nauseating head bob that existed in earlier iterations? That gameplay demo for 3.0 looked like there was no headbob... am I dreaming this?

[@Madcat-qc2xu]

You're not dreaming, in 2.5 ptu there's no headbob.

[@canisrah]

Madcat9246 wow. That's brilliant!

[@Madcat-qc2xu]

Robyn Yeah...I never really minded it, but maybe I just got used to it after playing it too much, because lots of people were complaining about it

[@canisrah]

Madcat9246 yeah my whole family struggled with it bigtime. Couldn't play in the hanger or anything beyond 5 minutes without needing to turn it off. Single biggest issue with an otherwise brilliant game with so much promise... and now that obstacle is gone! Seriously - everyone in my group is so happy about it.

[@VoloxTV]

yes, headbob has been fixed

[@stalwart149]

Outstanding progress, CIG. I can't wait for Squadron 42 and beyond!

[@marsbohem]

Love what you're doing. Watched a bit on a stream but truly impressed.

[@drewfarran5451]

This game will...be....epic. The x64 crytek platform they built is a whole other story. #HypeTrain

[@Yorgarazgreece]

We need the press version uploaded so we can admire the GLORIOUS GLORIOUS planets in HQ.

[@MasterMojo85]

You guys remember a few years ago, when we were blown away by that Arena Commander Trailer. Back then I thought that this is the best I've ever seen in a space game. And now they show us this. This is just sooo great. :O

[@Meichie228]

Good job CIG! Great presentation, so many details and surprise. Can't wait for upcoming Citizencon and 3.0 release.

[@TheSkyrimmaniac]

I was holding off on backing the game because it seemed like it might not be all it says it will be, but then I realized it is only $45 for the successor to Wing Commander and a game that mixes Eve, Elite, and Halo. I can spare the cash even if it is only for promises.

[@AlbertoMartinez765]

if you loved all those other games Yeah its a great investment! By years end you will have a full system a ton to do and play.

[@TheSkyrimmaniac]

Alberto Martinez By the end of the year just the alpha alone seems to be worth $45.

[@gusmc2220]

Sign up for the free fly week going on now here robertsspaceindustries.com/enlist?referral=STAR-Q4B2-QWKS and get 5 dollars worth of free in game cash with the code STAR-Q4B2-QWKS

[@axlbxl]

Or they could use the Referral Code Randomizer found on the right side menu in www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/ and avoid fueling greedy spammers :)

[@32keihin]

Don't worry, it won't be false promises, if something a never-ending develpment due to being too ambitious. That's why i like uncle Roberts, he's his own boss. He isn't pressed to release an unfinished shit. He loves his job and loves the same thing we would like to see in-game. It will worth the wait.

[@69narutofan69]

That was a great livestream!

[@xdrfvgyhn64]

Best hour and a half of my life! No other games made me feel this excited before. I was grinning like a kid for the whole show!

[@Kalroth]

Nice job CIG! Looks like things are really starting to come together.

[@thesonofsuns2154]

Absolutely amazing. This is what video games should be all about.

[@ibelieveingaming3562]

Chris Roberts, you are turning into George Lucas. Stop. Micromanaging. Everything.

[@frost1262]

Its optional every ship you you see you can unlock in game

[@dragoxphere3341]

And look how Star Wars IV, V, and VI turned out

[@satanicdude]

*will be abke to unlock in game

[@anthonystark69]

LOL what? lucas started to fail when he was surrounded by YES! men. he would give out an idea and no one told questioned him. roberts is far from that.

[@satanicdude]

Chris Roberts is man with flaws, when it comes to ambition. But all things considered, I still have faith in the whole project. ....I could be wrong.

[@doozie4256]

Amazing, thanks CIG! :D

[@r6jbhifi168]

thanks you for working so hard. hope work harder and make it better at the same time. we can wait

[@vankai06]

the Arma 3 version of No Mans Sky? :)

[@TheSquidNinja]

Hopefully a smoother, more stable space Arma

[@MrGamerman001]

That would be nice. Just as long as its far less demanding of a game than Arma 3.

[@singlecellorganism13]

Chris Roberts is a living legend in tech and gaming. Nobody like him.

[@sw1000xg]

I bet m$ and $ony hate him because it's not a console piece of shit...

[@TDChannelKSP]

Consoles couldn't run Star Citizen

[@anthonystark69]

the man is making his dream come to life. really inspiring.

[@greenalien5509]

Yeah, nobody likes him because everybody loves him.

[@HopTzop]

I bet EA and other big publishers hate him because he'll raise the bar, with this game, so high that they can't reach it without spending a lot of time and putting passion in their games which isn't their way of doing business.

[@deepelements]

This is why I invested, supported and backed this game, I don't care how much hate i get from people they will never kill my excitement for this beautiful project. When i'm in space cruising around with my friends exploring and doing missions it will be well worth the wait. Good job Chris and your team, keep up the great work. GOD SPEED CITIZENS ... I'll see you in the verse.

[@Daywek]

one word ... AMAZING! ... thank you guys

[@randomvideosandmusic1504]

THIS GAME IS FUCKING STUNING

[@nevermorefuzzy]

a game made with no dead lines. no limit on funds and an image held by one man... beautiful. so rare

[@O-.-O]

@@noudvangemert297 To milk the whales xD

[@drune6212]

looking through the windows in the base from the ship was incredible, that will make the game so emersive. Love it!

[@AlwaysAstral]

It's like everyone conveniently forgot Chris said this presentation doesn't even include most of the newer tech that 3.0 will debut and yet still managed to look as good as it did while being played online.

[@quatz1981]

I have complete faith in this project.

[@btoiscool]

You're a fool.

[@quatz1981]

Godin The Killer​ says the fool. Fuck off

[@btoiscool]

quatz1981 You're the one putting faith into something.

[@quatz1981]

+Godin The Killer so what that doesnt make me a fool does it

[@btoiscool]

quatz1981 www.thefreedictionary.com/Faith www.thefreedictionary.com/fool Yes, it does.

[@YouSoerenTube]

Umm at 51 minutes. Does this planet have an atmosphere? Since he is going trough an airlock. But before, in the area where the ship landed, there were people standing around without space suits?

[@btoiscool]

WIP. And yes, Delemar has one, just not a breathable one.

[@btoiscool]

1234 5678 I mean, pretty much everyone noticed it lol

[@kekistaniattackhelicopter2242]

It wouldn't surprise me if that was intentional.

[@kebian555]

Chris Roberts for King! I am so stoked for this game. Every now and then I get a slight worry that the development is not progressing fast enough and then you guys go and do a presentation like this and it completely blows me away. I also backed as a Rear Admiral with an Andromeda and have acquired a Drake Caterpillar too. Now I'm tempted to buy even more toys :/

[@stephenholcomb9278]

Been away from the project for quite some time. Letting it "cook" a bit. I was an original Kickstarter backer. I'm glad to see this progress!

[@starofeden9277]

he says end of the year 2016 release....now its 11 months later and still nothing

[@rwentfordable]

Still nothing in 2021.

[@Skibidibapbombambimbop]

Atleast there's multiplayer, eh?

[@attackhelicopter7403]

[@AxelMontini]

#ripnomanssky

[@VTRDC27]

can we all appreciate how long it takes to develop a GOOD universe with real systems now that we've seen no man's sky and the trail of broken promises it left?

[@thedaix]

ya can't wait to play it in 2025

[@haknslash]

Great job guys! Can't wait for CitizenCon

[@THESLICKNESSEDM]

great demo it's really coming along nicely can't wait

[@1Sinep1]

Crysis Engine meets Fallout 4 gameplay in a No Man's Sky jacket

[@zixme.]

And people buy No Man's Sky instead of supporting or already buying this. It's like people want good games but won't support people that want to make good games. Good games = Hard Games ( or very original games)

[@thesonofsuns2154]

They're retarded, and impressed by pretty colors.

[@Leonidasll75]

Maybe because this isn't out yet?

[@0ld_Scratch]

I play both, I like both...simple as that

[@Kratos510e]

It's called an investment. Some people don't want to invest in something they aren't certain of, they rather buy something that is out now and is completed. For example, if by any reason the game can't be completed or flops (turns out to be an over hyped pile of trash) well then their goes the investment; money you won't be seeing again. So, they aren't retarded; they just won't take the risk.

[@MoneyShifted]

what if we can do both? you know we don't have to buy something that comes out like the end of 2017 and wait for it without enjoying another.

[@mazebuster3294]

I can say only one thing Awesome great work CiG

[@mightysquirrel7808]

What a magnificent demo! Please bring Tony 'The Visionary Genius' Zurovec on stage next time for next presentation. I love how he explains things in depth. Cris 'The Boss' Roberts does fantastic job as well, don't get me wrong.

[@lokken23]

huh too early no hd yet didnt think that happens

[@Kade-arcana]

HD is up now.

[@ADMNtek]

LOL for me it is the opposite and i cant watch it because my connection sucks.

[@ZackBrooksjoeseph]

shit, that savage man.

[@StevenAzari]

The first hype train crashed, so we got you another to ride. I wonder how much of that were Star Citizen staff and press.

[@unslept_em]

not much, there were photos of the lines outside of that room, and those lines were pretty crazy.

[@lesstealthybros6597]

I can't stop watching it, over and over again :)

[@hexenkingTV]

This game will crush the whole genre. I feel bad for the competition.

[@theagrafiotis]

The demo was insane!

[@morrgash]

This game is the closest thing to a Star Wars MMO game we will ever get! i love it and love how they are designing the game around that fact!

[@thesonofsuns2154]

Star Wars the Old Republic and Star Wars Galaxies are actual Star Wars MMOs, but this is the closest thing to a proper open world Star Wars game we'll get. It doesn't even feel like an MMO to me, just a huge world for me to explore that happens to have other people in it.

[@morrgash]

Tulak Naga Exactly!

[@krosisen]

+Morry Nothing like Star Wars, apart from space and pew pew laser guns

[@btoiscool]

Actually, SWG is.

[@btoiscool]

The lore is a lot like the Old Republic, modernized, and, like, without the fantasy aspects. So basically, no, it's not.

[@antonrubtsov3995]

Big thanks! :)

[@Mudig]

everything about this game is so massive and fully realized. I actually get the impression of being in a space ship and in space.

[@Unmedicated_Moments]

"Big end of the year release" LOL! Thanks Chris! M

[@btoiscool]

From what I understand, the only thing left needed to be done is Subsumption. Otherwise, 3.0 is ready to go.

[@ollierkul]

2 months ago how did you "understand" this? I haven't seen them showing the different career game mechanics such as cargo being finished? And a lot else promised?

[@Onixstar]

ollierkul Well, it was a "End of the year release" after all. Just a year later.

[@MStreppelhoff]

Sandi ftw... ! :) PS: Gameplay is totally abnormal awesome...

[@RabidPenguin]

Love the new Star Citizen logo animation and graphics. I also wish I could triple like this presentation. Just so much awesome stuff coming our way.

[@lucywucyyy]

so glad i watched this!

[@FractumSeraph]

This was posted a year ago. Everyone got hella hyped, a ton of my friends were prepared to pledge. Now here I am, over a year later, and we still don't have this.

[@ollierkul]

Not quite "over a year" but yeah, I get what you mean. Hopefully no more delays.

[@SonGoku-hr5kz]

Well am playing 3.1.4 right now! So we do have this, except for that smooth fps.

The dynamic music system where music would queue in depending on the situation blew me away, i'm a sucker for Video game sound tracks. The music that was playing when entering atmosphere and exploring the wreckage of the starfarer was absolutely gorgeous.

[@piewars12345]

watching this game grow has really been an experience and I really can't wait for that 3.0 release. It just blows my mind how much they have done.

Hahaha

hahahaha I was preparing to mess with you :D

[@ResidentReveler]

Same here. Except I love all 3. I play console for PvE and exclusives. PC for PvP games mostly.

[@TomTomXIV]

I love how you compare PC with consoles lol. what are you going to tell us next PCs are better then a smartphone? lol

[@Areanyusernamesleft]

In before the haters! ;)

[@Bohimen]

Every year you guys show us more and more. It's really cool seeing this game grow year after year. That being said, I doubt the game will ever be truly finished and it probably won't be ready for "release" until sometime around the year 2020 at the rate this is going.

[@NaughtyNimitz]

Once again a show of respect by CSI and Sandi in particular: a charming little intro in German.

[@RandomGameTesters]

Just came from the other amazing video First!

[@Temirkul]

Does that planet rotate?

[@awesome9174]

I believe so. I also heard they revolve around the sun too.

[@24OscarM]

They said 3.0 would have day and night cycles so I'd imagine yes.

[@Yorgarazgreece]

Orbital mechanics was confirmed a while ago.

[@attackhelicopter7403]

you will get the whole space with planets turning, cycles arround the sun and realistic daylight and nightcycles

[@Temirkul]

Thanks guys

[@marcuslind90]

[@peadardonnelly1685]

I'm an elite dangerous fanboy but I have to say... David braben, git gud u scrub

[@NaughtyNimitz]

Having Elite and/or NMS is in no way exclusive: It only shows you are interested in good Sci-Fi games.

[@BGIANAKy]

SC fanboy here but I enjoy my ED. Love that shit in VR

[@Shishomuru]

Give Braben a break, at least ED is out and was produced in half the time of SC on a made from scratch engine with a budget of £8 million. SC on the other hand is what another 6 years from release as I keep seeing and hearing people talk about how the game supposedly not even 20% done and the games production budget is larger than what ED has even made in sales plus what they got from crowd funding to develop the game. Everytime I think about SC all I can picture is every SC developer lounging around on there own personal Yachts spending like 5 minutes a week actually working on the game while the rest of the time is spent sipping Myties and laughing at all the people still hyped over the game and throwing money at content they have yet to produce.

great presentation, i cannot wait for 3.0, i really want to get my teeth into star marine and also the questing looks great. Even though my main scope will be on exploring this gives me more insight into the game going forward. Ow and woop terrapin.

No Man's Sky vs Star Citizen... They are not even in the same league.

[@JohnMichaelson]

Well, to be fair, it's like 10-12 devs with a few million bucks versus hundreds with over $100 mil now. NMS's fatal flaw was it's stupid AAA price and refusal to acknowledge what it really consisted of. If Elite is the miles wide and inch deep of gameplay, NMS is the planet sized millimeter deep gameplay.

[@W4ldgeist]

I really think the gameplay of NMS is not its main flaw. I think the size is. Because only the idea of an unlimited space to explore sounds intriguing. The reality of it is as fun as 1000 square kilometer grass plane here on earth. After a while you've seen every combination of grass types. It gets repetitive really quickly. At its core the NMS gameplay is a subset of Minecraft, but spread thin across gazillions of kilometers of only mildly varied terrain/biomes. They could not ever make that fun. But that universe what got the game hyped. If they would've done it like SC and built a more focused, couple of galaxies with more story and combined the excellent idea to use SuperFormula + artist input and hand crafted places then the game would've never gotten the hype it got. Sadly sometimes what we think we want as gamers is not really what we enjoy to play.

[@rixxycolonel1177]

I didn't even bother getting it. I can build infinite lame junk and name them... who cares. In the end its the same junk everywhere with slight variation and is a guaranteed boring game.

[@W4ldgeist]

***** NMS is hardly a shitty game. It's experience just doesn't last through the "game's runtime". The first couple of hours are really awesome. It just tapers off too quickly. And Star Citizen is not vaporware, because it exists, we've seen and played the parts of it. vaporware was Duke Nukem Forever for ages, with only vague trailers etc. or Daikatana. But Star Citizen is just a yet unfinished game.

[@W4ldgeist]

***** Users have access to most of the stuff. I've played the stuff that is available. Definitely not vaporware. Still a whee bit buggy, but absolutely impressive, existing, non-scripted tech.

[@actionms8566]

How is what we've seen even possible on a technological point of view? I mean the fluid transitions in a space as huge as a solar system. The fact that everything is connected, like space stations aren't even instantiated. You fly around on the planet and at the same time, in the same space, there's people in your ship and on ground all interacting with the world. What monster of an engine have they created? If they deliver, this might be the definitive space game and set new standarts for years to come. IF!

[@Raymaster7482]

Amazing stuff! :-)

[@deadzombies4496]

Why are people comparing this to No Man's Sky? It's an indie game made by less than a dozen people with 1/20th the budget. I think it's a complement to a game for it to be compared with Star f****** Citizen.

[@tacoblocko]

I think it's just cause it's in the same genre. (Space sim type games), though I disagree with comparing a game JUST based on their genre.

[@MahBones]

Probably because it's also an indie game - yes, you're welcome to read the meaning of the term, which was started by a team of four. The fact that it has received huge public funding doesn't in any way alter how it came to be or that it's not funded by commercial interests. It's also a space game which allows you to leave your ship to explore in person, so I'm really not sure why they get compared at all, no common ground, clearly. Push come to shove though, No Mans Sky is out and playable, so enjoy it, Star Citizen is still a long way from multiplayer release with all the hurdles that involves.

[@deadzombies4496]

MahBones They're both indie games and both share the genre. But they're clearly targeting separate audiences. Its the same thing when you talk about cyber-punk and hard sci-fi. They're both in the sci-fi genre but target separate audiences within the genre. In terms of gameplay too, its like you're comparing Battlefield's jet flying and handling with Microsoft Flight Simulator. They're not meant for the same audience even though the core package allows one to fly a plane.

[@MahBones]

Personally I wasn't comparing them, I get why people are though. I am target audience to both games too and ED, like a lot of people I grew up with an abundance of space games, then they stopped - so the more the merrier IMO.

[@misterburkes8364]

Prob b/c the One Man's Lie beliebers made the first comparison and said it's potentially better than Star Citizen :D

[@nicospielberg]

So exciting ! The game is really taking shape ! One thing though... Is it just me or does the heavy armor seems really really OP ? (I know it's in alpha, but still, just asking) Also, I think the pirate base shouldn't be on the radar immediatly, it would be funnier if you had to scan the planet to find it, and it would give a job to do to the copilot.

[@hydrastrike2699]

I think they probably beefed up the armor for this

[@acevfx2923]

the developers want to game to be realistic and all yes. but realism shouldn't "ruin" the gameplay aspect of the game. the developers intentionaly made it so that ships and players really can take a punch instead of a 1-2 shot death. if you were to travel from one galaxy to another, explore an entire city to find a guy with a mission for you, you go to the next system to land on a planet from which you need to walk a good distance and a enemy fires 1 bullet to the head and you''ll die instantly. it will ruin the game so to say. that is why ships take quite some damage before they go down and same goes for players. it gives the game alot more action and thrill.

[@btoiscool]

That wouldn't make any sense.

[@nicospielberg]

+dog face We are suppose to have a station for radar on certain ships, right ? What is the point of those if a "secret pirate base" automatically shows up ?

[@nicospielberg]

+ace vfx I guess I see your point, it's just that emptying two clips on a guy is not my idea of fun...

[@OregonCrow]

An emotional experience listening to all those happy fans cheering. What a great looking game,world and soon way of life!

[@LiveLNXgaming]

I'm going to hold a safe scepticism for it all until I can do it and do it stably without crashing but i'm all for you taking your time and making it right. Good work so far. I know you guys get a lot of hate for things but just remember you are making something great. Not just star citizen, but an idea and dream made real. It takes time so dont rush, dont cut corners, and keep up the good work. Some people seem to want this to fail and those are the small group that just likes to shout at things others like. Dont get discouraged and dont do this for us or for them. Make this the game and art you want it to be. If you do that it will be worth the wait. Star Citizen has inspired the return of a genre and inspires people to keep making space games like they used to, that alone makes this game a success to me. If this game sucks I will rip it apart and you can be sure I wont go easy on it even if its great. But the influence alone makes me grateful for its existence.

[@chaobanh5003]

I am so regret buying NMS

[@andreostermann8453]

Someone got like 5000 bucks ? need a rig :/

[@spacearabica]

throw me some of that loot too

[@GahMehGrrrr]

Bored Gamer built a server chipped rig for a couple of hundred bucks, add an Rx 480....tadah! Im using a Skylake based rig plus an AMD 280x - 1000. Yer I want a better card but i get 50 fps when the server delivers or in offline modes.

[@TheAdditionalPylons]

You can make a rig that handles this game well for 2k.

[@AbsurdJosh]

You could get a rig with a i5 and gtx 1080 and a SSD for around 1300$

[@Ryukaschien]

My sister runs this using a gtx 970 and an i3 3220. No need for an overly expensive rig, m8 lol.

[@primitifsound]

this game is special, daaamn, can't wait for another updates

[@RichardBarb]

Amazing!
