Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

I am in a constant state of boggle at how much money this game raised from the public.

The rage when it's released will be glorious. With expectations so high, there's no way everyone who has "invested" in it will be satisfied with the actual game.

It would be hilarious if the money counter on the page would be just an automatic counter, which increases overtime, regardless of the donations. And in reality the game only has 5-6 million dollars. :D

Reads like something Double Fine would do

 

[Drax]

Well, the "remaining alpha slots" number is all kinds of fucked up.

 

[AstroZombie]

These graphics please me.

So is there anything close to gameplay at this point in terms of videos? Or are they still the typical bullshit interview with an artist or something coupled with a couple fancy screenshots? I'm gonna say it again: this game won't come close to the hype and won't have half of the things decently implemented that they're claiming. Also....the average donation is $100....are people fucking serious?

Here:


The footage looks pretty rough, especially the net code. Easy to see why the dogfighting module was delayed.

That newfangled texture physic whatever looks sexy

100$ is nothing at all for serious eve online player thats not rare to spend that amount by month for luxurious pvp needs . This game is much more attractive(at least the sample we see), eve space is getting quite small in my opinion it never was made for so many people. Star citizen make people dream. Its impossible it lives up to the hype of course.
They are offering another life in space, a life with priviledges for the wealthiest desesperate nerds, its a recipe to success .

 

[Ninjerk]

Can they buy sex, though?

 

[Raapys]

At this point they should hire Derek Smart.

 

[AstroZombie]

Mining robot.

 

[Ninjerk]

Fuckin game needs to stop looking awesome.

 

[Chunkyman]

I wonder how much the big one will cost.

Why does it have to be an MMO?

Why does it have to be an MMO?

Best excuse for plausible failure: scope was too ambitious. You can't play that card when making a 6 hour game or a sandbox.

 

[Drax]

It's also a Single-player game. Or you could set up your own server, and play alone (that's what I'll probably do in the end)
And being a game designed to be highly moddable there's a lot yo can do. As in porn mods. In Space.

I'm surprised the Freelancer variants from Hangar Patch 11 hasn't been posted yet.

Does this project go anywhere, haven't seen a substantial update in months?

Does this project go anywhere, haven't seen a substantial update in months?

The dogfighting module will be unveiled on the 10th of April, at the PAX East and will launch shortly after.
They've also released a pretty substantial update on what the different teams have been working on:

Has anyone made a tl;dr version with specifics?
