Squadron 42 releasing 2026

[Haba]

What I don't understand is how can they have so many actors involved.

Chris the Scammer does not want to make games. He wants to direct movies. Always has.

Was he involved at all with the Wing Commander movie? If so, he should be punched in the dick and never be allowed anywhere near a film set again.

Wing Commander is a 1999 science fiction film loosely based on the video game series of the same name. It was directed by Chris Roberts, the creator of the game series, and stars Freddie Prinze Jr., Matthew Lillard, Saffron Burrows, Tchéky Karyo, Jürgen Prochnow, David Suchet, and David Warner.

Holy shit. I thought it was by that German guy that used to shit out all those terrible game movies.

Wing Commander is the only movie I ever fought with my friends over. I wanted to walk out of the theater because it was so shit, the guy who drove didn't, so I sat through the dumpster fire. I'm still a bit irked about it.

Actors want money just the same as anyone else. More so really. You can get all but the most exclusive A list actors to record a video for you saying whatever for a few hundred bucks.

Matt Damon doing that cryptocurrency commercial.

You're doing a real dubious job deterring the rest of us, damn.

 

[Nikanuur]

Ooh, look which two actors are there with Mark as well! I must be at the verge of discovering some nefarious real-life sub-plot no less!

Fwiw, I was considering ditching the rest of them and walking across the city rather than sit through any more of it. It's not even funny bad for the most part. It's just awful shit.

Rubber Gojira-looking kilrathi. WC starfighters with WW2 biplane style motifs, etc. Just bizarre, cheap looking, retarded, etc.

I hope that motherfucker drowns on his yacht.

In 12 days we will know if this thread ages like a milk.

I've been playing Mechwarrior Online for over 10 years now. Many years ago, one of my acquaintances there left MWO for Star Citizen because MWO's developer never delivered but Star Citizen was so different. To this day I keep chuckling at his memory, lol.

PS: Mechwarrior online did have many disappointments, but how many online games can claim they lasted 10+ years? It's a niche game, but it's still kicking.

 

[Perkel]

I tried to play Mechwarrior mercenries but I think it just sucks dick. I was avid fan of Earthsiege2, Starsiege and I even did recent replay of Earthsiege2 because folks managed to run it good via dosbox.

It feels like that game was made for mouse controls rather than joystick and It shows.

Star Citizen stuff
This is their redacted stream.

Lol game crashed in the middle of their special presentation..

EDIT: Lol it crashed again..

This company is a joke..

"I hate prerendered presentations and AAA marketing practices"
"lol the development build being played live crashed"
Can't have it both ways. Don't like it don't watch a livestream of a development build and wait for the VoD.

 

[ArchAngel]

Everything being shown is hilariously bad.. still Scam Citizen. They are not even showing space combat which should be the main draw for this..

 

[ADL]

I'll post the trailer when it goes live on YouTube.

I mean after a year of "polish" game doesn't look polished. IT looks cool as hell but this was probably their most polished chapter and still looked rough at times. Other chapters must be in even worse state.

I think people expected release date to be much sooner than 2026 but judging by state of game now clearly 2026 is needed.

By state of the game 2026 is unrealistic. Scam Citizen continues to offer only empty promises and delays.

Each speck of space glitter cost $1 to develop.

 

[RobotSquirrel]

You mean to tell me all that hype about celebrity actors being in the game and the fucking son of a bitch goes full Todd Howard and just kills them at the start of the game.
Also... the intro gameplay is a turret section. After starfield and No mans sky and Elite I just don't see how anyone has the hype for shit like this anymore, I doubt the market will react positively to whats on offer here, also can't wait to see the requirements on this, *makes game* *no one can run it*.

Pfft. Each of those sparks not only cost $1,000 to develop; you can buy one right now for the low low price of $499!

Space sims peaked with Freelancer.

What exactly is this monstrosity? Starfield 1.5?

Seems to be Wing Commander 2.0 but bad.
