So, I'm not sure if this is widely known but they gave everybody free access to the Alpha 1.2 until October 25th.

Then download and install the launcher, which in turn will download some 30 GB and you can play.

Performance: It destroys my i5 + GTX 670 @ 1080p (20 to 30 FPS on the High setting)

Also these codes can give you extra space credits if you already backed the game cause they think you're a new user or something. I got 15 DOLLARS WORTH out of the gamescom one, enough for a virtual golf cart for my pleb hangar.

I am pretty sure if people wanted a tech demo that didn't do anything they would just get 3DMark.

Your 34 posts in this thread suggests a fair amount of emotional investment from your side as well

Maybe you're right. I got my hopes up for this game when it was announced, because like everyone else here I really wanted a new Freelancer. Those hopes all died when they started selling ships for real money. The same assholes who have an unfair advantage in the real world will have it in the game too. Now, I just want to watch it burn.

There's dogfighting with online matchmaking and some co-op missions, plus a race mode. All the completed ships are available. Pretty fun, I've played around with it for a couple hours. You can also walk around the first city area which is also 'multiplayer', but as far as I can see there's nothing to do there yet.

And there are flying and combat tutorials too.

"It is rare to feel as valued as I do in a position as seemingly mundane as customer service, it is anything but. I get to talk with people who are passionate about the game, and work along side those who have just as much passion to show and give."

That is because game is not yet optimized (which comes later in production). Though i fully expect this game to destroy 2016 14nm GPUs and GPUs 2 years later.

Game is build with 4k in mind and Dual GPU as standard. I think it is first game to use proper 8k textures.

lol. they rarely use even 2k textures. they're just smart with their texturing and modelling

smart is positive....
Why would u use 8k texture on something no one will ever see ?
Played tutorial and definitely i saw huge difference to lets say Elite in therms of polycount and textures.

It is safe to say it will be benchmark like crysis years ago for next few years.

Star citizen ingame* ship:

Elite Dangerous ingame ships:

First pics I could find of small-sized ships in-game in roughtly the same zoom. Star Citizen mostly seems to have some ugly-ass color filter as the difference.

Fuck wikia downscaling linked images. Reuploaded to imgur.

 

[RK47]

fuck off elite, this is the real space sim

What?
Of all the things one can't critizice I don't think how it looks is one of them

 

[Metro]

My joke was more directed to the ingame part... you need a game first.

 

[Drax]

Oh. Well. HAHAHA then.
