Support NeoGAF

[Dictator93]

if some of you guys didn't know, they put out ship brochures as a way of advertising similar to car brochures to highlight the features. The trailer was to act as a commercial for the 300i.
Here is the brochure for this ship if you are interested

fantastic screens in there, everyone should check these out.

I also like that the company is german. Ha.

Did they say if this game will work with the Oculus Rift?

it will, and if not on launch it will be patched. Sorry I don't have a source. But Chris Roberts has mentioned it multiple times.

Did they say if this game will work with the Oculus Rift?

yes and i think this will be the biggest seller for rift at launch because both should come around q3-4 2014.

here is the newest news i can find about Star Citizen and OR support

Rift support was confirmed, yeah.

 

[CambriaRising]

You have my curiosity, Star Citizen.

Did they say if this game will work with the Oculus Rift?

Yes Roberts has said he will absolutely be supporting the Rift and has been designing the game to take full advantage of it, not just tacking it on as a feature afterward. He was even a part of Oculus's SXSW panel about VR, and he gushed about the experience and what it brings to the table.

Read all the hype EVE VR gets with the first low res dev kit, a tech demo made in free time in some weeks. Now imagine how the hype around Star Citizen + Oculus Rift Consumer Version will be. It will help both companies

 

[Zabojnik]

People criticizing lens flare in this and comparing it to how the game looked 8 months ago ... *smh* I guess it's to be expected though, if you're not following SC's development the way some of us space-sim nuts do.

So am i gonna do it this week,since it will end june 27th after that i do not know if there will be a lifetime ensurance.

Do you have a link where it says if you buy before 6/27 you get lifetime insurance? From what I have seen you have to have backed it before November 26th or something.

No, if you get a ship now you get LTI.

To avoid the confusion that came with the previous livestream and promotions, there will be a one-week grace period for all pledges. You will have until Saturday, July 6th to pick up packages with the old prices and features, including LTI through the new site, as well as limited ships and other things offered during the 300i and Livestream promotions.

I briefly looked at the pricing and backing information a while ago but didn't quite take the time to make sense of it because it seemed that the incentives to back were kind of lost at that point. I still don't know what the insurance aspect entails and what their business model will be.

The hangar module, where you'll be able to walk around and admire the ships you bought, will be released later in the summer. The dogfighting alpha is currently scheduled for December 2013.

Read the FAQ. There's a whole section dedicated to insurance. In fact, pretty much everything you need to know is in there.

For some reason I thought this was demonstrating the game on an origin pc.

I'm sure it will be, as long as people understand that it's a very early version of one aspect of the game, released purely for testing / balancing purposes.

Shit looks amazing. So glad I backed this. I can't imagine how this game would feel with Oculus.

I can.

Ordered my 325a and 350r. Puts me up to 5 ships now...

 

[Mupod]

For some reason until now I thought I'd already pledged - I mean, I have a golden ticket on the site, whatever that is. But I apparently forgot to actually give them money.

Well, dropped $65, was going to go in on one of the cheaper tiers but then I realized that I've been asking for a game like this for as long as I can remember.

It is supposed to be commercial for 300i

Exactly this.
