[@messergabel]

"You know what? Next time, I'm driving!" - crashes the rover a few minutes later, into pieces -

[@pegasusted2504]

lol to be fair she got squashed by a million ton loading ramp ;)

[@yuripantyhose4973]

insert asian women driving joke here

[@messergabel]

Ted Cameron I thought, she was trying to drive up the not fully flat to the ground opened ramp, two times.

[@etiennepons4295]

Like we say in France: "Femme au volant, mort au tournant", that means: "Woman's driving, no surviving"

[@messergabel]

Etienne Pons in germany we say: "Frauen am Steuer, das wird teuer!" Means: "Women on the steering wheel, it's getting expensive!"

[@aaronnelson7702]

Just to troll people. They should add a mission where one of our settlers has been kidnapped.

[@Colleywoodstudios]

Aaron Nelson yes yes yes a thousand times yes. And for good measure another mission where you have to go bowling.

[@Maddock_]

I'll mark it on your map.

[@contentthunder]

what about one where a dude in a cowboy outfit sends you out to help settlements under attack

[@plinyvicgames]

another settlement needs your help. ill mark it on your map.

[@gregorymilks11]

Just to troll people, they should finish the game.

[@prettycoolguy3206]

I hate sand, it's course and rough and it gets everywhere

[@eugenlovin6788]

Pretty Cool Guy nice referance too Anakin from star wars

[@avidian888]

Was a tough thing to show off unfinished stuff, but you did it as well as possible CIG. Good job! +42

[@RedLegBlazer]

In 4.0 you're going to be able to upload your consciousness to their server and just live in the game. It's gonna be sweeeeeet!

[@maybefish6318]

😅

[@TheThebestgame4]

WHY DO YOU FORCE ROLEPLAY, WHYYy ???

[@pegasusted2504]

To give us a light-hearted look into the VOIP, FOIP and head-tracking

[@MrStubbs8157]

real doom Just switch off what you want and do what you want. Where do you see roleplay forcing? Never havr seen any of that. I am just curious

[@TheThebestgame4]

are you serious ? this whole video is filled with cringey roleplay.

[@thesilverrook3502]

My biggest fear, is that dialog like this finds itself in Squadron 42......... Chris has always made the best games, but his movies/stories... not so much. Squadron 42, imho, is his attempt to produce an awesome story.

[@pegasusted2504]

Yeah, I can't see that happening mate they do have professional writers after all.... :)

[@VandleValsher]

Very nicely edited. I like they way they mixed the audio from the first attempt with the second to preserve Chris' commentary and capture the crowd's excitement. Well done!

[@anony88]

Honestly more power to them to make the video better and show off what the game is actually going to be like. Obviously it's not going to be as bad as the gamescon demo because it's still a long ways from release and still being developed. I can't be mad at them for editing the video to showcase what it's actually going to be like. Just be thankful they aren't pulling a Sean Murray on us(No Mans Sky)

[@RDR911]

You mean actually fixing their game, Anony?

[@liammorris1018]

this was the exact same video with just a few bits snipped out, The way you said it sounds like they used new footage.

[@MadHatProduction017]

anony mous you are misinformed, mate. No Man's Sky has become an actual game with high quality content, because developers have been working to fullfill their promises unlike CIG

[@cavemantero]

lol... 'high quality content'? yeah right....

[@jesterssketchbook]

26:40 "Patience....what. is. that?" ...............kill me

[@Wind_Lord]

Should have replayed it internally.

[@frousen]

Wind Lord yes, because the QA team has nothing better to do right now huh?

[@Wind_Lord]

Frousen they did it for last years Citizencon demo due to lack of 1080p version and they were testing for 2.6 at the time. So yeah. They could have.

[@Wind_Lord]

Also the version 2.0 of that video without CR voiceover is one of CIGs most played videos. So as an advertisement of the game it makes sense and it wouldn't have to be played through by QA.

[@frousen]

Yeah I know they did it last year, but people really don't need more reasons to be angry, sure they would get more fans, but the 3.0 impatience is something to be considered too. Also sorry for the first comment :P woke up a bit cranky

[@Wind_Lord]

Frousen no probs. If a little sarcasm is the worst thing you do on a cranky morning I can probably take it.

[@drksideofthewal]

The roleplaying was cringier, when I was watching the presentation live. Now, it doesn't bother me so much.

[@SirDothal]

drksideofthewal the cringe nearly killed me

[@warchiwawa]

I want to believe they make it voluntarily that way from now on, it makes listening less weird.

[@RichieW]

it was serviceable.

[@havocnme8977]

This game is only in alpha stage my goodness it looks amazing. Long road ahead for this game but I truly think it will be worth the wait.

[@Obosii]

I was hoping that it would be a new 'perfect' run through. Still great though.

[@vk1087]

Yeah me too.... Like last year.

[@pccalcio]

Thank you guys for all your hard work !

[@kraenk12]

pccalcio And thank you in advance for the next 5 years until release.

[@pccalcio]

true doe

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

It looks really awesome. I can't wait to play it. I'm surprised that you couldn't find better role players for the demo. Maybe it was stage fright but the interaction seemed way flat. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind playing with any of them and I don't know that I could have done any better. I just think there was missed opportunities to show how cool it could be with some organizational teamwork.

[@Nick871203]

stop focusing on the cringey role playing it was the tech they were showing off.

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

Nick871203 I got it but I still think it was an opportunity to highlight the teamwork aspect of the game better. I think voicing my opinion about that is completely acceptable.

[@aletheides3990]

They used their local Q&A team to demo those features. Its not actors its developers.

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

Aletheides I think that's my point. I have nothing against them. In my opinion it would have been more polished to have a professional team. Like rainbow six siege demo video. That feeling like I was watching a cohesive group just wasn't there for me. I still love the game and can't wait to build up my universe empire.

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

B.O.A.B yeah it felt really unnatural.

[@Smartem_]

equiping armor piece by piece out of ur pocket is so emerdion breaking. i would prefer the stations and ships have special lockers where u can edit ur spacesuit and then u put it on

[@TheSimpleSack]

Don Avtoritet Chris Roberts did say you will have the option to have load outs

[@Teizan0]

This is early, early, gameplay. Hammerspace won't be in the final game.

[@varlunmulland3992]

Like Dead Space. :D

[@badaccentgamer1689]

What pocket? He was on his undees...lol. I share your thoughts we already had that on the game this was a step backwards. But you know the game is not finish blah, blah, blah

[@yuripantyhose4973]

nah I dont want to spend 5minutes going through lockers to get gear, this is a game not a real life simulator. I'm very happy they went in this direction where you can do everything from one menu.

[@Mark-ft8yx]

Is it just me or does the Ursa Rover need more weight physics adding to it? The wheels have a little bounce, but the body seems fixed like it is floating. How it could be Example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pafbZqaiid56q9U I will probably do a lot id driving planet side, so there is a ton of fun to be had just from traveling and moving base to Base. If CIG can get this right, it will Be a huge part or the immersion. Fingers crossed. Overall, it was a good demo. I think that a lot people did not realise that the Devil was in the details.

[@myraultwang8754]

Mark Johnson well tell me, you do realize the two "planets" they demonstrated are actually: a big asteroid and a moon?

[@bdo7765]

I really want it to change. Having the camera locked onto the rover's body is why it looks so weird in 3rd person. They need to add some camera sway or something, or aim the camera at an average point between the rover body and the wheels as they telescope up and down. IMHO that would help a lot.

[@MrStubbs8157]

Mark Johnson We yet have to see rover behaviour on a 1 g environment....which the moon isnt! Physics tweaking is something to dial in quickly when balancing, which also will majorly happrn in a much later stage....so in 2 years from now.

[@aletheides3990]

Delmar is smaller than earths moon as well. Its similar to the asteroid Ceres in the asteroid belt.

[@morphentropic]

MrStubbs1981 how’s that physics balancing going?

[@Volkaer]

All well and good, but the REALLY important question is - is the toilet on the Connie fixed and working yet?

[@Kirmm]

The amateur acting was the worst idea ever.

[@Broccoli_32]

Kirmm you got that right

[@mcdonaldstitties556]

I'm getting The Division flashbacks.

[@kraenk12]

McDonald sTitties Or Destiny...or Anthem...no idea why anyone would think anyone would like that?!

[@mcdonaldstitties556]

kraenk12 Just think back to the FPS reveal. I think I remember them strictly using necessary coms. Now we have a bunch of useless chatter- they might as well have done nothing but girl-talk the entire time. "So~ did you ask Mark out to the dance? 🍆" "Well, 🙄 I was thinking about it, but I was busy doing my nails! 🤣"

[@Hunglo90]

For real! Can any reveal go just pick some actual gamers that win a raffle or something and put them into here!?

[@SiBennett]

This is simply mindblowing - the level of detail & the art style is awesome!

[@IDGODROAR]

YES, I was hoping for this high quality stream!

[@hercrespo]

This looks even more beautiful than in the live demo. The attention to details is breathtaking. Notice the change in ambient sounds at 11:44 I don't even plan to buy the game, I just enjoy talent and well crafted pieces of art.

[@Leispada]

Agreed. Even though I play it, the most fun I get from this project is from the quality and the constant pushing of the envelope

[@pegasusted2504]

why not mate? don't like fighting or pvp? then just stay around heavy pop areas cos they have more security and navy presence, also you could play this game for years without once getting into a fight, you don't even need a ship, you could work on someone else's or you could just travel from planet to planet by public transportation system that's going to be in game :)

[@dasluder]

Absolutely. The main reason I backed this game is the attention to detail and quality of assets they put out. I absolutely admire the 3D/2D art department, these guys doing such an amazing job that I yet have not seen matched in any other game.

[@iamanass100]

Actually, if you care more about eye candy, impressive tech and detail, this is THE game you should get lol. If you have a good PC, I'd say keep an eye out for this. Not yet though. Wait till the next big patch, then see if it's good or not (reviews on youtube).

[@rixxy9204]

yeah I noticed that right away, the ambient sounds immediately adds to the realism of the environment.

[@redacted9111]

Can we have a more scripted dialogue with worse actors next time?

[@ForgotowToUserName]

they should really stop with the scripts.

[@DayLateGamerWill]

@@ForgotowToUserName pretty sure they already stopped scripting the dialogue, soo they should do the opposite of w/e this was

[@ForgotowToUserName]

@@DayLateGamerWill i said that 2 years ago. when the scripted dialogue between the 2 players was at its worse. now its a bit more.... meh

[@DayLateGamerWill]

@@ForgotowToUserName yeah, thank god they stopped that god-aweful Cringe-fest of "RP Dialogue". Especially when Melissa continually kept talking over Chris and the presentation, especially when they asked aeveral times to do X and she didnt. I saw people commenting something like "She was in the basement, she couldnt hear him" but thats not true, as she followed his direction several times.... Any-who, I agree with your comment about not scripting the terrible dialogue. So yeah, lol

[@tobytoxd]

Thanks for the "radio edit"! Perfect to send forward to a friend :D

[@jasonfrost5025]

Comin' up on 4 YEARS later, and not much has changed.

[@whydoineedachanneltocommen6603]

They should do some proper RP where both captains decide fighting over a blackbox with capital ships is a silly idea. Instead they sit down like two civilized human beings and work out a deal. An exchange is made and they depart without a single shot fired. Cut to credits with a message about how violence isn't the solution. I would pay to watch the audience reaction to that!

[@regardlessrampage]

i was hoping for a double cross.

[@kgino1045]

please stop this non sensing situation made voice acting

[@yuripantyhose4973]

yeah I wonder if they are from marketing department and think gamers actually talk like cheesy 80's action heroes :P

[@4Skyrim]

How else were they going to show their face tech? Think about that for a sec...

[@DubElementMusic]

not like this, think about that for a sec

[@4Skyrim]

Oh you are right they needed to hire actors right?

[@nightclaw999]

Well ye know, instead of stuff like "Hey.... *awkward pause*... you." they could just say stuff like "It's awesome how many people are here" or anything else that just comes to their mind. Noone's expecting intellectual debaucheries on any subject, it's just super cringey, if they don't finish a proper sentence without checking back on the script every 2 seconds. That just hinders the flow. Besides: I'd rather have them put that effort (writing scripts takes a shitton of time) into more useful stuff like... enjoying a nice piece of cake or pretty much anything.

[@vgames1543]

Epic with headphones! Great job, good luck!!!

[@bardenegri21]

Amazing work so far, I'm blown away by the complexity of what you have achieved. No other studio has ever attempted something so technically advanced. Too bad people don't know how much work it takes to make a game, they just find out about games one year before launch and think that's all it takes. Keep up the good work!

[@satish8299]

Why is there no flight dynamics? Please add this as soon as possible, i dont like the crafts hovering in the sky as if it nothing

[@warchiwawa]

What part of "the future" is unclear? I would suggest to look at VTOLs, they already exist in our time.

[@jasonomnia9295]

I hope us getting this video isn't excuse to not release AV tomorrow. I know it was gamescom last week, but not everyone from their studios were there nor should all of them be

[@porkorosso7885]

Really enjoyed it. We will be doing this very soon! 10/10

[@alandab]

Thanks for this.

[@anony88]

Aside from the overly done scripted RP, I'd say they did a good job. Some RP is ok but at least make it realistic or cut back on it a bit. Bugs are excusable, the game is still being developed.

[@90189waller]

Ships still don't seem like they have mass/momentum.....

[@cronje5523]

I love listening to Robert while watching this!

[@Berry_Goosey]

This game continues to impress. I am very excited to play it when it finally comes out!

[@retrowrath9374]

Meanwhile at E3 with their perfect, fake demos that never look like that on final release. Raw alpha presentation, we know that we're going to get that and it looks like that when we get 3.0.

[@cosmicsubliminals7064]

Friendly reminder to pretty much everybody: this game is in alpha. It feels like everybody is expecting a finished game.

[@traluelal]

This is amazing!

[@xboxplzfixme]

Has anyone noticed the flight mechanics in this game how when in flight its really stop and go? It doesnt look like the ships are fighting gravity to stay in flight when in atmosphere, and that the way ships move feel as if they're in some sort of editor mode? Is this the finished flight mechanics or are they still working on that?

[@Sitarow]

You done good.

[@MasterZelgadis]

Please put some effort into ship animations and/or flight model. The Connie landing still looks like it is a toy ship..

[@MasterZelgadis]

Realism? Especially the bigger ships need some time to react to the firing of the thrusters. They don't turn or stop turning that quickly. It just looks goofy

[@wylie2835]

Size is relative. If they have proportionally larger thrusters they should have the same turn rates.

[@MasterZelgadis]

It still looks silly. Imo.

[@wylie2835]

Well real life can look silly too. I fail to see why that's problem. Your brain being incompetent at comprehension is the fault of the brain and nothing else.

[@rixxy9204]

It's not that bad. I'm totally loving the landing of the fighters into the Idris

[@The_Tr3nch]

Man I can't wait for this to drop.We have come so far since kickstarter.

[@mamors32]

I really enjoyed watching it! can't wait for 3.0

[@pryzmgaming]

This reminded me of that Division demo that was shown before release for some reason, i think its the scripted unnatural talking of the people playing- looking forwards to 3.0 after seeing this though!

[@Creepy-Girl]

So many impressive things in this demo. The game is also very beautiful.

[@Adnub]

That seems to be coming along nicely. Keep up the good work guys! I do wish we got an update regarding SQ42. (Or maybe they did somewhere, but I somehow missed it. If so, feel free to point me to it). Really looking forward to that as well.

[@wingledon2465]

Dafluf It's not coming along nicely. We've seen most things here before except the Idris and Daymar plus the foip(which was outsourced). That's all they have to show for a whole year. No mining, no gravity ship mechanics, no new mechanics whatsoever and a hugely unstable experience. Hugely lacking on the game mechanics part.

[@gabooandcrew584]

So awesome!

[@triplea007]

How did the girl respawn inside the ship and how did they end up with the box when it was inside the rover and Glenn didn't retrieve it?

[@-Q74]

TripleA007 There could have been a magic man flying around the map quickly fixing everything xD

[@kyyliiaann]

Superb. I wish you the best for this amazing game

[@johndoes9984]

The idris in the sky strangely reminds me of the spaceship above johannesburg in district 9, the scenery was perfect

[@jimmyjango5213]

Eagerly waiting for the press demo like the ones they have done for other years

[@TheStaniG]

The RP was really cringe, but also inertia and ship controls and effects arent where they should be, you can tell its being controlled by a mouse in a game. Think about thigs like controlling naval vessels im real life and the inertia the crew has to compensate for, this needs to be included. Also the dust cloud from the Idris should have been MASSIVE and started wayy higher, helicopters make more impact than that and thats sad.

[@pegasusted2504]

First pass at that stuff mate, it will become incredibly more impressive towards release.

[@anony88]

I think Star Citizen would be perfect if there was more space gameplay and travelling through space from point A to point B, like Star trek the next generation. I'm sure one day we'll get there. Maybe 10-20 more yrs before we see a game like that.. It would be cool to command a large ship going through space and have AI onboard YOUR ship to make it seem more like a living ship, where you can walk around the ship and do missions on it and have actual storylines play out on your ship while you're travelling.. And when you go back to the bridge, you occasionally find planets in the distance or debris / alien ships and you can decide to set your course for that or go on about your way.

[@Broccoli_32]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[@TheSimpleSack]

anony mous There's nothing stopping this from happening, say I had an iris and needed a mechanic then I send out a mission and hire a new guy I meet and new player hire them and send them out on missions across the ship. The game is only small scale at the moment we haven't got exploration. When exploration is added we will have what you're asking for. You want more long haul flights which suits certain things and certain people, not all.

[@TheSimpleSack]

Having AI man your ship is a thing they want to do

[@shutinyanks]

Dude everything you talk about you will be able to do. You will be able to spend the entire day just exploring and possibly not seeing another player. Trust me they are dreaming big with this and if they pull it off the industry will change because of it. No more will we see games released with subpar pay wall or pay to win mechanics. I'm talking games with download sizes that will bring terabytes of information during its course. Thats why I've stopped doubting them. Its going to take time and a lot of effort. But if its a 1-2year wait I'm OK with that since i can just sit back and wait. It will be soon upon us.

[@Leispada]

Good news for you. Pretty much exactly this will happen

[@Kojimalosophy]

I can't wait for Gamescon 2021 to see some more pre-release gameplay of this game and get my anticipation even more built up when they move that release date to 2022 , ooh ! so excited!

[@ChironZore]

Blown Away. Absolutely. Blown. Away. To say that this thing is a labor of love falls far short and does not do it justice. Congratulations, Chris. I always believed in you and SC.

[@4Skyrim]

Thank you CIG!

[@DayLateGamerWill]

Why was Melissa straight up trying to talk over Chris? And dont say "she didnt hear him" cuz she obviously could, how else was she able to follow his multiple commands? talk about super annoying; trying to hear chris over someone babbling in the background

[@jackjones5954]

Not to troll but try holding your forearm horizontally unsupported for more than a few minutes (like with the mobiglass) it can really strain your shoulder.

[@killerkram1337]

jack jones it's funny, in one of the development videos they talk about this. If you have the character stand natural the camera shakes a bunch because the human eyes and brain compensate for all the movement, but in game it's nauseating. They took some liberties with the realism to make sure the game can be fun. We have a long long way to go (obviously) but I have confidence in this project

[@KimchiYeo]

love the guy in the audience being so hyper excited haha

[@SheerluckHolmes]

Same roleplayers huh? Oh well.

[@JP-xn7si]

aw man that would be perfect

[@irwtla1]

I'd love to see these guys redo the voice-over kzbin.info/www/bejne/onnSYWenhMaYZrM kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4OlkJWddplge7M

[@Needkey.]

The Community re-edited the presentation to include *less* roleplay dialogue. CIG re-edited the presentation to include *more* . Good attempt, but not ideal.

[@hanswesker8455]

Anyone know where there's a more updated schedule report? The one here robertsspaceindustries.com/schedule-report hasn't been updated in almost a week (though its header says its up to date).

[@thomasdagley]

Omg I get it. They just needed to have him get out of his seat and walk around the ships more, and this presentation would have been awe inspiring.

[@MrDevlance]

I just don't like how space ships move at all, especially when you fly them from third person or try to land them. They just look like 3d objects that are manipulated in a 3d editor... There is no sense of gravity to them or friction. They make sudden stops in the air followed by sudden accelerations. They are as limited in movement as a wooden box with wings attached to it and flying in garry's mod.. I understand this might be caused due to them being piloted with a mouse and keyboard instead of a joystick but I can't see them behaving more realistic with a joystick either. They need to add air friction and swaying mechanism to the ships to make their movements credible. Also, the landing of the ships needs to have it's own team of devs assigned to it and improve on it alone with a shitload of iterations because at the moment the ships feel as light as a matchbox when you land them...

[@Michea32]

When can these people stop complaining about the voice acting for a demo. And pay attention that there is a game like this. Star Citizen is simply a dream come true of a game coming out.

[@wingledon2465]

Micheal Sayfie SC is nothing atm. There is nothing groundbreaking about it and it will never releqse at this rate.

[@Odeezee]

Vastain /sigh

[@funoff3207]

The tech demo that never ends. This game will never be released

[@DamielBE]

something just struck me while rewatching it. The bar music, it reminds me a lot of Dead Can Dance, for some reason. Was Pedro Camacho inspired by Lisa Gerard' aforementioned band when he did this piece?

[@criogen6502]

Honestly, there is always a critical bug that ruins the official SC presentations. :P

[@warchiwawa]

That's why we are not playing 3.0 so far..

[@samisuhonen9815]

Next time dont have RP as your amateur acting. We prefer someone from 3rd person just explaining things.

[@BlooJay.mp4]

Sami Suhonen *GLEN R U IGNORING ME GLEN. G L E N*

[@galsherp6173]

it would have been better, but they or atleast the girl dont seem to understand chris robert...? oO

[@shutinyanks]

Don't give them such a hard time they were given a subpar script to create ambience i kinda liked it as it demonstrated the comms working but alas awkward cringe chit chat made its way in there.

[@Leispada]

Would player 3 be considered the 3rd person? Or is Chris the first, and then player 2 the third?

[@Cryazote]

Maybe it's because English isn't my mother tongue, but I didn't feel it was acting at all. They tried to pretend to be average players having fun. The problem here is how to be spontaneous when you have had lotta rehersals and know what happens next. But overall, it felt to me quite ok.

[@azrinaswan80]

Daymar looks a lot better in this demo then how it looks ingame now.

[@starcitizenverse6608]

This gonna be HUGE cant wait for 3.0. Just started a brand new channel DEDICATED to this amazing game

[@BloodOfYeshuaMessiah]

*I think the reason the rover didnt go up the ramp , (apart from the obvious bug) , was that the Idris still had its engines on which gives it hundreds of small vibrations..effectively it is STILL moving...hence the inability to climb the ramp. I saw the same thing in the gamescom show but with a small nox...the engines were still on and couldn't get in a cutless. Easy fix though.*

[@MrBothandNether]

*We see that bug in 2.6.2 as well, when a ship is sitting on a landing pad vibrating and slightly drifting, you know it's bugged & won't fly properly.*

[@mikeg7750]

Lol. It's just a bug with collision maps. Nothing to do with the ship dynamics rather the ramp physics. This game while impressive is so shallow.

[@roderickherndon384]

This mission had to have cost more than they were paid

[@-Q74]

Did the package even survive?

[@PeyoteIguana]

You press the action button to grab the salt packet, then B to shake the salt packet, now you are ready to open the salt, hold it in your right hand and access the menu panel to select the tear feature, tearing the salt can be done by sliding your mouse to the side, whoops that was pepper, now you have sneezed. There is a little snot on your nose, so open the access menu to grab your hankerchief, press A to unfold the hanky and swipe the mouse to wipe your nose...

[@theknightofdoom260]

Ooooh I forgot I bought a Cutlass package when it first came out I may finally dip my whistle into the game.

[@Marctary]

CIG should improve the walk stairs animation, even gta does it clearly

[@Anu8ius]

juste Darius Pretty sure they are aware of that, and the most likely reason it isnt so good because its not actually an animation in the game yet (hence it using the normal walking/running animation)

[@poika22]

"even gta" gta and all rockstar games really have always had great animations

[@ollierkul]

If you want to see the improvements made to animations check here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXVeKmKopureskm56s

[@kraenk12]

Why are the player characters not casting any shadows...?! Looks odd

[@Odeezee]

kraenk12 characters *DO* cast shadows. O.o Is there a specific time you can point to where no shadows were cast as I can see them all over the place?

[@kraenk12]

djuanOD inside the space ship

[@Odeezee]

on the Constellation the characters were casting shadows. the only place i did not see shadows cast was when they were in the Ursa Rover when it was in the belly of the Constellation.

[@Sir-Complains-a-Lot]

2 stations and two moons only.... A WHOLE UNIVERSE TO DO. that game will be out sooooo soon!

[@Commanderhawke]

That was an expensive ending. And a great friend to put his own Idris on the line for someone else's mission.

[@thekatloaf]

Two words: Fire. Everyone.

[@TFM03]

Yes, please stop the freestyle RP/ Voice acting. If you must than write a script so my ears dont burn into a flame of BBQ corniness. Seriously stop, plz. Take a story from the Lore you've created and give use something real to enjoy. BOOM, you can have that one for free.

are the sound channels swapped? things off the right side of the screen are coming out my left headphone and visa versa

[@LittlealxYT]

Someone please tell me if this is ever going to run on any online network every without lagging, tearing, glitching, stuttering, blurring, and all of the above at the same time? How much bandwidth is going on all the fluffy stuff? these guys were on a Lan and it was still all over the place?

[@shutinyanks]

I would love to see them allow backers to be in the game: Sure they might of done it already but as a special thank you for people who have been backing and supporting this since the beginning that would be a nice touch.

[@masterxehanort3624]

as npcs or what ?

[@tunaman44]

how do servers work in this game? can each instance of this city only hold 1 group or 100s?

[@rixxy9204]

At this point the online servers are good at crashing. The video shown here is quite fake, since its all held within the private network and doesn't show the actual play-ability of the game online.

[@joseignaciohileradorna5122]

Stop the role play, is unnatural.

[@OctoBooze]

Still no proper multi-crew experience beyond simple turret manning :c (Solo idris confirmed????? /s) No additional professions beyond pew pew boom... Really, not a single new mechanic to allow mining/salvaging/medical/exploration etc... Instead we get FOIP which nobody asked for... Goddamnit Chris you're making a game, not a mere tech demo. Get to it.

[@jahy3740]

We are getting that. Just not quite yet.

[@feenux09]

it's far far far easier to implement FOIP than mining/salvaging/medical/exploration etc...

[@aletheides3990]

FOIP was a promised feature since 4 years. A year ago CIG found the company Faceware who already spent 7 years developing the feature. So to save time CIG licensed their SDK. So yes its far easier to implement an already finished features SDK into a game than to develop entirely new ones. Professions are coming online one after the other in the subsequent releases. 3.1 etc.

[@wylie2835]

Not to mention the character rigs need to be created with this feature in mind otherwise they are wasting future time. Developing a game to give consumers content quickly adds years. They will not be wasting time so you can demo features earlier. If a feature like FOIP is being added, they will not bandaid it in later.

[@The_Tr3nch]

Actually FOIP was a promised feature 3 or 4 years ago. Sorry man.

Muy buen trabajo!!! :D

[@Hanfree85]

more than 5 years of development for this 1:04:30 Awesome ... maybe in another 5 years we can see a gameplay with out that noob fails.

[@tic-tack]

The game is struggling to maintain 60fps on what I'm going to assume is a 1080ti or Titan setup, the game has been poorly optimised for the longest time, they need to give some serious consideration to exactly how this game is going to run on average hardware, because currently it won't at all.

[@cosmicsubliminals7064]

This game is in Alpha, what do you expect?

[@strategygalactic]

frolord94 games aren't optimised until near-completion

[@themassesareasses7238]

Ever seen Alpha before?

Will there actually be an atmospheric flight model? There also seemed to be zero gravitational force on the ships.

[@ridiculousview1920]

Ground destruction and deformation would be soooo great (+leaving tracks)

[@anony88]

The ship physics will always bother me. Especially as a flight sim fan. When they launch off the pad and land, it's super unrealistic. When they turn, it's 150,000% obvious that they aren't turning via rocket boosters but turning using your mouse/joystick to force the mass of the ship as a whole to move instantaneous and immediately stop. It's next-level unrealistic. When the ship is going into space, the speed doesn't increase with time. It goes at one pace. Never have I seen anything launch into space going the same speed.. Even kerbal space sim is 1,000x more realistic and it's a much smaller game. Star Citizen is almost half based on ship mechanics and can't get it right.

[@varlunmulland3992]

At this point in time it's going to be a constant speed because they haven't enabled atmospheric flight physics yet. Same reason they hover without thrusters in atmosphere. That stuff will come. People always find something to complain about.

[@KHamurdik]

SC won't have 'speed increase over time' because of gameplay reasons. It doesn't make sense in space opera genre. But you are right about thrusters. Ship's movement isn't powered by real-time engine driven force. I believe that there is technological limitation in networking and i really want them to fix this.

[@etiennepons4295]

It tried the 3.0 at Gamescom, and the flight model isn't as it's presented in this demo.

[@chalagif34]

worst or better ?

[@etiennepons4295]

Better, better af

[@reg074]

And exactly what kind of supercomputer will i need to run this game?

[@owenburns5698]

Do the quests have multiple endings and another aspect other than fetch quests? In the witcher, even the side quests had plot twists.
