Re: Star Citizen & Squadron 42
I'll wait on the game to be released. I'm still a bit cautious when it comes to crowd funded content. Take interstellar marines. I believe I wanted that to come out back when MW2 was messing up what proper FPS games should have been like. Look at where we are now.
This game look good visually. Will have to see what it offers when its released.

true... but the benefits of proving this model is that the corporate-management-drone stupidity can be excised from infringing on the creativity, which can only translate into something worthwhile...StarBound wrote:I'm still a bit cautious when it comes to crowd funded content.
as opposed to the unadulterated rubbish which is exemplified in IP like bioshlock, mass defect, call of yet another duty or dragon age dulling-gins...

Re: Star Citizen & Squadron 42
I agree and disagree. Creativity length is only as far as the buck can be pushed. It does however start filling the gap by those that started pursuing the single action rout. Eventually everyone goes to console for numbers. I'll wait for the shelfed product.
Example. Played Curse of Monkey Island? Have a look at Deponia. HD graphics but it does not translate into the same feel.

The powers that be said that the crowd-funding aspect will eventually only fund a certain % of the full project. There will be major sponsors too, but no mention was made of how that will be managed or sourced.rustypup wrote:true... but the benefits of proving this model is that the corporate-management-drone stupidity can be excised from infringing on the creativity, which can only translate into something worthwhile...StarBound wrote:I'm still a bit cautious when it comes to crowd funded content.

So I edit my opening post now... it will not be 100% crowd-funded.

Re: Star Citizen & Squadron 42
Wasn't interstellar marines crowd funded since 3 or 4 years ago? I wanted something as an alternative to the horrid MW2. It's years later and so many games has done a replacement job. In days, weeks, months or years I might be dead and not have seen the game.

Re: Star Citizen & Squadron 42
has to be said, the hangar module release saw funding on this beast go insane: $27m and counting...
the stretch goals are an excellent focus...

Re: Star Citizen & Squadron 42
latest funding update finally mentions what we've all been waiting for... procedurally generated planets with biomass and populations....
finally... a living, breathing, galaxy to play in.... if it comes to fruition....

I played EVE for 6 months and I think you are just the cutest thing...rustypup wrote:finally... a living, breathing, galaxy to play in....
Start Citizen looks epic.
I would have bought in when I first heard about it, but I realized I first heard about it $20 miilion into its development...
Keeping a massive fan base on edge for years and milking them for millions of dollars is a willy move.

Its #20 on that list and climbing - I hope this is a fantastic game, I do - but seriously?
No, you don't get my money for jam.
Release the game and I'll pay for premium ships then - the amount of interest I'd have earned keeping my $100 in the bank for 3 years will equal the $175 you paid for you ship in 2012 AND I wont have to delay gratification for 3 years.

spreadsheets in spaaace!... where the "living, breathing" part was made up of anti-social shut-ins playing at being terrible people...hamin_aus wrote:I played EVE for 6 months and I think you are just the cutest thing...
if RSI pulls it off, we get to have populated worlds in SP...
i'd love to know what metric they're using here... this is the funding value, not the real-world cost... i suspect that's much hugherhamin_aus wrote:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mo ... to_develop

There are only terrible people on the internet. You think Star Citizen players are going to all be altruistic hippiesrustypup wrote:spreadsheets in spaaace!... where the "living, breathing" part was made up of anti-social shut-ins playing at being terrible people...
The real dollar cost of all the stuff in this universe is going to create the most unadulterated douchbaggery the internet has ever seen.
4channers will be signing up for this game in droves just to take notes on how to be truly appalling human beings

heck no!... which is why the idea of being able to indulge in the game without them is so appealing...hamin_aus wrote:You think Star Citizen players are going to all be altruistic hippies
regardless... i have free insurance for life and a penchant for ramming ships if they rile me
