I'm so glad this game exists.
I don't think so, all the videos are from the stream. Soon there will be plenty of footage anyway when 3.0 comes out.

That's actually awesome. Seems they really are not making this P2W.

This is the main reason I continue to back with $$$ even if there is a small chance the title will never come out.
No one else is making my perfect space simulation.
- Space combat
- Multicrew ships
- FPS combat
- Persistent universe
- Bad ass aliens (Vanduul)
- Single player campaign
If someone else were making a title that covered all of this I'd pay less attention to Chris Roberts and his team.
No Man Sky isn't the answer.
The next Mass Effect, though good...isn't the answer.
Cloud Imperium Games is all we've got.
I believe Elite Dangerous is also aiming to have all of these features eventually as well but their development seems to move at a pretty relaxed pace.

the pcgames shots contained some grainy screenshots of planets with water. They have also talked about their tools to build vegetation.
They're going to show version 2 planets in October anyway, maybe we'll get to see more detailed planets then. What they showed of planets yesterday was pretty amazing by itself.
Didn't they also show planets with vegetation in one of their trailers ages ago? hopefully it looks like that.
ed: At the end of this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJJ9TcGxhNY Too dark though.

For years this has been going on.

It would help out my sanity immensely, if we had a game development 101 and business 101 for people when they sign up for GAF

Lmao, so true. I've seen it a lot on youtube comments and twitch chat. From "scam" to "When's Neo version?"
Wow, that Gamescom demo looked really impressive. I always believed in this game if only because of its huge budget, huge team, and accessible demos. Unlike some other games, Star Citizen has been pretty transparent, and its goals aren't out of reach given its team and budget size.
Points of interest such as landing zones are hand crafted

HTTP download stopped working and then you need to re-download again so that sucks.
Reverted back to torrent and updated the _TorrenSettings file.

This is basically some of my friends. They laughed at me when I said I thought No Man's Sky looked bad. They kept telling me that Star Civilian game that I'm looking forward to is an over-promising mess.
I'll get the last laugh yet.
About 3 and a half since the kickstarter in late 2012. 4 this autumn. It's not all that out there for game dev cycle lengths yet, but it'll probably be a few more years until it's done.

No. The stations are all going to be hand-crafted. Trying to do high-fidelity stations where each one feels unique and alive with procedural generation is not something they are investing in because they prefer the more hands-on approach where each one can get some custom work where needed. That's why they aren't going for a billion star systems like Elite or NMS because they want to have a fewer number of systems (100-ish) but they all actually feel unique and interesting instead of variations on a template.
Nice, time to watch it for the fifth time.
Also new interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1XK1OEIL7A
"...it doesn't need to be a billion star systems, or more than that." Shots fired, again.
This has a GTA level budget now, and those things have 5 years between entries and nobody blinks.
Shit takes time.
And they are showing all their work in progress as it goes along.
Unprecedented for a game of this magnitude. (And funding)

For some reason, I just don't understand this game - I don't mean it's concept, or what it's about - I mean the way that you purchase it.
If you go to the official website, there are different modules to purchase and some of the packages are extremely, ridiculously expensive - with one being $15,000 in actual money!
So how does this work, do I have to get all the modules to have a complete game?
That's what I'm not understanding about the game - so if I don't have Space Marine installed as a module, I won't be able to engage in fps battles during the main mode of the game? I'm not even sure what the main mode is or what it's even called.
Can someone shed some light on this?

Those are all backer rewards. You basically buy the ship with the intent on supporting development and you get Life Time Insurance on it. You will have your ships use day 1, and actually throughout the alpha and beta as well.
For everyone else. You buy your $60 game. You complete the campaign. After retiring from the military you buy your entry level ship. Just how you pick out your first car in Gran Turismo. Then you earn money and buy your ships in game.

But what are the modules - test/early access type things? Will the finished game have all of it rolled into one, $60 game?
Some of those are verticle slices meant to alpha testing, demoing, and get backer feedback. Others are more gameplay systems and features being worked on by other teams. But they are all components that will be integrated into the seamless persistent world by release.
Yup, they are separated for development purpose. Once it's all finished it will be combined into one persistent mode.

There's only two things. Star Citizen (the MMO) and Squadron 42 (the single player campaign). You either get a package that has one, the other, or both. The concept of modules to buy is dead.
For more details on the Star Citizen side of ship sales, I made a somewhat comprehensive summation here. Keep in mind all ships will be obtainable in game with even a base package. There is no need to get a high end package. It's just a means to support development of the game.

Just started watching this and already blown away. Recently built a new PC so looking for games to play. Also, I love scifi. If I wanted to get into this would the starter pack be the best option? Is there a consensus between the ship options or do they not make much difference? I am aware this is still in development but fully on board with showing my support
Just buy 60$ starting package to have both S42 and Star Citizen. What ship you take doesnt matter, though Aurora is more versatile.

Awesome, will do! Thanks!

Pretty, but those technically aren't from the actual live demo, but from another take of the same mission run through at a different point in time. They weren't playing in 4K, and the Dragonfly isn't in the same position within the Freelancer's bay that it was during the actual demo, nor did that camera angle even happen.
I'm curious, where have they stated this aim?

Downloading the starter package now. Looking forward to seeing how it runs on my i56600k, GTX 1070. Although from my little knowledge, currently framerate is affected by the server load.
Edit: I am also aware the demo isn't a version available yet

fucking hell so much amazing details and how they are animated.
Well, planets certainly have progressed in Cryengine since my attempt in ~2008.
Needs the Little Prince to be on it.
