That's a lot of fake ships!

Here's the latest gameplay from the game if you would like to know more (courtesy of tuxfool):

I'm sure this will kick off a thread full of rational discourse.

That's a lot of fake ships!

For comparison sake Star Trek Online rips players off by charging $30 for a single ship skin...

 

[Krejlooc]

I'm sure this will kick off a thread full of rational discourse.

Any thread about star citizen and funding always devolves into people who don't pay attention to the updates bitching about lack of updates and how this is somehow a vaporware scam to steal people's money.

 

[Aselith]

I'm sure this will kick off a thread full of rational discourse.

I kid of course. Considering the recent release, it seems to be shaping up demonstrably well.

 

[Fuzzification]

People are just clearly brute forcing the game's development now.

 

[joseph]

game link?

 

[TUSR]

game link?

?

 

[MasterHoodie]

So what is this game even?

Is it out? Have they started working on it? Is it just Eve Online 2?

Help?

 

[NewGame]

Too big to fail now, right?

I just want to explore in my pea shooter thanks.

And to the Alpha 2.0 thread here.

[Rising_Hei]

More weight = More painful fall

 

[tuxfool]

At least the thread started fairly well?

 

[MightyKAC]

Game has been looking great these last few days so I say it's well deserved.

Regardless however, this thread will be full of delicious salt and I plan on subscribing to savor ever last bit.

 

[Syf]

Game is looking fantastic with the recent updates. Good for them.

 

[Krejlooc]

So what is this game even?

A space sim MMO with a persistent universe and FPS on-foot exploration segments that is heavy on military and exploration, along with a single player cinematic story component ala Wing commander.

Is it out?

Alpha 2.0 is just around the corner.

Have they started working on it?

yes

Is it just Eve Online 2?

this is nothing like eve

Help?

go look for the hundreds of tri-weekly updates on their website?

 

[Glycemic Beg]

Can't stop, will not stop.

 

[Kouriozan]

Well, that's rather impressive.

Wait... the FPS mode is back?

I thought they killed that?

what you read was FUD from detractors who played off technical issues related to development as some sort of feature-canceling disaster.

 

[tuxfool]

It was delayed to an unspecified time. And people that couldn't read just assumed the worst.

 

[CyberPunked]

 

[Vital Tundra]

And further and further the finished product is from happening. Feature creep can eat my ass.

 

[natertots]

The amount of support it's gotten is very impressive, the game looks ridiculously good, too.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

I suspect that this thread will fulfill my daily sodium needs.

 

[Zabojnik]

Haha, I was just going through the old thread looking for that pic.

Perfect timing, with Alpha 2.0 out.

 

[Havel]

Why do I hear so much hate towards towards this game? Is it because it's been in development since 2012? 3-4 years really isn't that long for a AAA dev cycle.

It looks fantastic to me.

 

[Krejlooc]

And further and further the finished product is from happening. Feature creep can eat my ass.

lol how this FUD gets spread just as the single biggest update the game has seen gets released.

Clueless FUD.

 

[Aselith]

They haven't been adding features since they went over 65 million. If you look at that funding link, it shows specific features they added along the moneyline.

 

[Chris R]

I can't wait for all these space games to actually release. I know I'll be buying one of them, just need to decide for when they start to get out of alpha/beta.

PC exclusive that targets the highest end hardware funded entirely through crowdfunding. Lots of different axes to grind there for lots of people.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

That is a veritable fuckton of money.

When the game actually gets released it's going to be madness, at least in these enthusiast corners of the internet. The expectations for what it should accomplish, the thorough analysis, the dissecting, criticisms, the detractors, the ecstasy of long time backers.

 

[Hypron]

I can confirm this is a lot of money.

 

[Vital Tundra]

I understand they added a lot, but let's not act like the money is being spent wisely and in correct ways. Game will be killer, when it comes out someday.

 

[Caffeine]

thats insane i havent followed the game since the initial 2 million they got on kickstarter.

 

[Crossing Eden]

I understand they added a lot, but let's not act like the money is being spent wisely and in correct ways. Game will be killer, when it comes out someday.

How is it not?

 

[danm999]

Wow that's more than when I last checked in. Interested to see how this one turns out.

 

[Krejlooc]

I understand they added a lot, but let's not act like the money is being spent wisely and in correct ways. Game will be killer, when it comes out someday.

They just released Alpha 2.0 which is blowing people away

seems the money is being spent exactly as it should be

[Spukc]

well i hope the people that spend cash on this game get what they deserve..
no hate

 

[Trickster]

I hope it lives up to it's potential. The assets they're making for the game are certainly gorgeous. But making everything they're trying to, and making it work well just seems like it will be near impossible. I mean there's just a thick layer of jank on everything they've shown so far, even that new SQ42 footage looked super rough. Characters clipping into each other, laughable lip sync, characters talking to you as if you're standing/sitting somewhere else.

 

[Dennis]

Insane.

Who is giving all that money?

Gaben, can we do a Half-Life 3 Kickstarter?

How do you know where the money is being spent?

Do you know of a good walkthrough video for the Alpha 2.0 preferably a long form not a trailer? I'll add it to the OP for people that haven't checked in on the game in a while.
