Space Voyager Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 An upcoming PC space sim, Star Citizen! Looks worth taking a look. A Gamespot Live with Roberts Space Industries is about to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 True, and me, too! Roberts promises awesome, and he has ways and knowledge to deliver. Some of that game fever is rising in me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Interesting... As you can read on RSI homepage, they are going for crowdfunding, too. The interesting part is that they are circumventing Kickstarter, and I'm not sure what to think about it. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Not to pollute Kickstarter thread more than necessary, I'm posting here. While these last hours look a bit cheesy, the promised goal at 5.5 million looks too good to be true. As Matri posted, it is a carrier one can own and fly, after unlocking several solar systems as stretch goals the count simply jumped to 70, a shitload of flyable ships, and the list goes on and on. This game will either be the greatest thing space sim genre has ever seen, or the greatest let-down. Fingers crossed for the first option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorondor Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Done. Blew past the $6 Million! The battle is over and we - PC gamers, space sim fans, WingNuts, Lancers and the rest - have won. You've not only met every goal we set, you've exceeded them. Star Citizen will be released because of your dedication and your willingness to put your money where our mouths are. Our gratitude is immeasurable; we owe you our livelihoods and will not soon forget it. :: New video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE0o_g2hMbk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matri Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I think the final tally was $6.2mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Damn, this should be one huge game. And single player, too! It is time they started putting their money where their mouths are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Why did they stop I wanted to see Harry's inside Looks good for WIP - though I would like those textures to get improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matri Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 It's not even alpha yet, I'm sure it gets better. And it's the CryEngine 3. My little obsolete rig will cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeborough Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 This does look very promising indeed. I don't think it'll be released for 2+ years (it mentions 24 months in the FAQ, I've not seen a schedule elsewhere) so that's plenty of time to upgrade hardware - my machine is very old now, but surprisingly still chugs on with Diablo 3, Civ V, etc. Along these sorts of lines I loved the look of the Infinity Engine that some guy made (not the RPG engine, his space engine is appropriately named though so I almost forgive his transgression): The whole galaxy is procedurally generated, like Elite/Frontier, and you can go down onto planets, etc. He seems to have found a publisher/another company to work with so it'll be interesting to see where it goes too. I don't think it'll have anywhere near the level of art direction Star Citizen will have though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I think I saw another demo a year back then that showed transitions between space and planets. Looks very promising. Yep that is it. I only wish if someone tell me where to get this music. The track is bloody awesome chilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
