Star Citizen - PC Gaming is Back!

[Daston]

Hey guys,

Not sure if you guys have seen this.

The guy who made Wing Commander is asking for pledges to a new Space Sim, the idea is to show the industry and gaming population that the PC is far from dead and can produce stuff that only consoles can dream of. He so far has achieved a $500,000 goal on Kickstarter in under 3 days! From the email I got they are just $50k away from reaching the amount needed to start production.

Here is the trailer for what he has planned (all in game footage)

The idea is for the game to have a campaign mode (if you chose to join the military) where you are a fighter pilot. You then retire and are let loose on the galaxy (bit like X3) however its online...think 1st person EvE.

The best bit and this makes me nerdgasum is you and say 8 of your mates could be chilling in the CIC of your buddies carrier when your jumped by pirates. As your buddy spools up the jump drives you and your 7 friends are rushing through a 1km carrier to get to your fighters to defend her as it preps to jump.

Here's Chris Roberts Website, loads more vids and notes on what to expect

So come on PC fans lets put a genera that warms the hearts of a lot of us back on the map and more importantly show everyone that PC's aren't dead they are just getting started!

So now that Arena Commander has now hit V1.0 I wondered if any of you guys are shooting people on it

I am finding it much easier to fly with a keyboard and mouse and have got the hornet pretty much dancing now.

Also love the new trailer, big thumbs up to the devs by using a fan made trailer as the base then working with the guy to make this: http://youtu.be/lJJ9TcGxhNY

So 9 years later it’s still early access, possibly a couple more years before it’s completed, yet they’ve already started on a sequel?

I’m sure it’s not a scam at all, where do I sign up?!?

I guess the plans are more in paper than development, remember RedDead 2 took nearly 10 years and was only 1 game from an established studio

I'm not surprised have you seen the size of them? The credits at the end of RDR2 took for ever 🤣

My point being Cloud Imperium is pretty much an indi developer. I certainly hope for their sake that all this server meshing talk works soon and it actually makes way for content. If it doesnt then there is genuine concern about how things are being done.

Reminds me a bit of all the delays over Gran Torismo 5 as the head guy wasn't happy about random details like the colour of the grass etc
