    Chris Roberts reveals new game "Star Citizen"
    Games


    With
    mysterious words proclaimed Chris Roberts (Wing Commander, Freelancer)
    recently to work on a new project and promised no less than infinite
    worlds with a completely new gameplay experience. Now, the title was officially launched.


    Indeed, it seems the video game pioneer have not promised too much, because "Star Citizien" is at least ambitious. This
    already includes the financing: The title is as many games with today's
    standards especially appearing target group financed by crowdfunding
    via the homepage of the developer studio. On
    Kickstarter is waived, however, according to the FAQs you would
    interact in this manner much closer to the fans - it was, said the
    statement, their universe and their game. Why should a part of the yield totals for regular, weekly updates and interact with the community to be spent.


    Overall, the developers estimate at least between two and six million dollars, an unusually high amount. As usual, the size of the game by the amount of revenue is made dependent. More
    money will be pumped in to achieve these goals by investors - the type
    of financing is to occupy the same time that a market exists for the
    concept. So far we have, so the studio, working with his own money and a framework financing, so already a tech demo can be shown. Should
    the minimum sum come together, either a refund or the beginning of the
    project takes place with the money but at a reduced volume. From a sum of U.S. $ 30 buyers currently receive not only the game, but also a space ship to launch and in-game currency. In addition, the access to alpha and beta versions of "Star Citizen" is granted. If,
    however, the finished item would fund similar to Guild Wars 2: As a
    full-price merchandise on the shelves, that drops after about
    micro-transaction profit - which one would like to produce more content.
    The
    items are to be acquired, according to the announcement, but do not
    provide the playability benefits, it being possible to earn the required
    credits also.
    Video "Star Citizen - Squadron 42"


    Promised
    in the end is no less than a full-fledged "triple A" game, with the
    development by bypassing the publisher model in spite of the intended
    claim by waiving Maketing and management posts should be even cheaper
    than similar games. The
    title is also developed using the CryEngine 3 exclusive to the PC and
    to fully exploit the technical possibilities - already looks good
    according to the first trailer. Vessels
    with a size between meters and kilometers are not only incredibly
    detailed, but are also consist of many individual segments and modules
    that can be damaging to a detailed damage modeling. Also supports all types of input devices are up to the VR headset Oculus Rift.


    Therefore, Roberts works not in a game, but in his own words in a universe that is continuously enhanced. Inspired
    is the setting of a futuristic Roman Empire, where as in the historical
    model, the citizenry will play a significant role. Those who wish can also choose not to be built so different, social classes and groups. Players
    will also be in the style of Wing Commander, Privateer or Freelancer
    may act out any freedom in the sandbox style and thus hire about being a
    pirate, smuggler, trader or mercenary.


    Furthermore,
    the studio promises a completely dynamic, based on current theories of
    physics universe that is both on the economic system as well as the
    related company. Players will be able to discover some new systems and sell their data exploration, while its discovery named after them. Possible to create new spacecraft is provided in the plan, while promising mod tools without creative limits set. Chris
    Roberts announced thus to nothing less than a fully interactive
    universe that features about Dark Souls similar transitions between
    single and multiplayer.


    As release date is the development team from November 2014. However, in its aim as with John Romero's Kickstarter project seems appropriate to a basic level of skepticism. Although
    the sector's most primitive stone shines in contrast to
    Daikatana-creator, not with an illustrious history, the enormous
    ambitions of "Star Citizen" however monstrous sound despite the advanced
    level work - Roberts actually engages the stars.

  • well... Chris Roberts promised similar with FL and could not keep word.

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

  • Does anybody wanna have my "golden ticket" ? That, as it looks like I have to plate it with the stuff by myself. :(


    Beside having to pay 10.000 bucks for getting the full game, it looks I would need about the same amount
    for getting a new pc, since Chris Roberts seems to plan NOT on todays highend-pc, but onthese thingies, how
    they might be built in 3-4 years time ! ( I don't believe he will get anything released earlier, if ever. He will NEVER get that amount of money.)
    PLUS what might you have to pay for all these "micro-updates" ?



    And what will it be ? A visually beefed up Wing Commander in a EVE-online-universe.
    Doesn't really sounds new in concept.

  • I can't believe he is kickstarting it!!!
    I mean i was expecting the stupid things like pvp instances, we all knew these pretty graphics cant easily exist in massive multiplayer!
    But fund raising??? I mean with his history, and well not even a tech demo after a whole year!!
    He helped us climb a very high ladder of hope and now he just took it under our feet!
    Prepare for another Black Prophecy FAIL :(

  • new is that you have to pay for the game before its even developed

  • As OP said, You pay for it b4 you get it and b4 its made, is he MAD ???....sounds fishy to me, and I quote what the site said:


    Not a subscription but not free-to-play; rather a hybrid of
    these two business models. Much like ArenaNet's Guild Wars 2, you will
    purchase the PC game and pay no recurring subscription charges. Your
    purchase of the game will allow you to play in the universe for free,
    forever! The game will offer a variety of virtual items for purchase
    with in-game credits allowing you to spend money on items that offer
    more ways to express yourself, provide convenience, and customize your
    experience. But the cardinal rule regarding "in-game purchases" is:
    Players who spend money purchasing in-game credits will have no
    advantage over players who spend time!


    Everything is bought with in-game credits. These purchases
    won't offer any advantage over someone who puts in the "game-time" to
    earn the same amount of credits. You might ask, why have "in-game"
    purchases at all? This allows us the resources to support the game on
    an ongoing basis as well as continually add content.


    Hehe, who is he kidding, remember all those game apps on ur iphone when you bought stuff, and then you had a rather
    large bill at the end of the month !!! because you actually PAID for them. A nice little earner for Roberts.
    Also , call me old fashion, I'd rather have a DVD in its case of this game , rather then a downloaded version.
    Ok the game looks impressive, but.. and its a BIG BUT, who in their right mind would buy it online as a downloadable
    game, and then pay more for upgrades and equipment and stuff so as you can go further in the game.??
    Sounds like a very clever scam to me. :eeeek:


    It would be like OP making Crossfire 3.0, but we have to cough up £20 each upfront, and then wait for 2 years for
    him to make it.
    For what its worth, i would rather donate to OP so as he could continue doing the great work he has done, then pay
    what looks like to me a quick money spinner for Chris Roberts...AVOID...AVOID...AVOID...DANGER WIL ROBINSON..DANGER !!

    On another note, Citizen site pledges part has a serious crash, hmm.. a simple addon
    widget, is this the shape of things to come from the GREAT Roberts.
    And then I get an email which looks like a plea to pledge message.
    Although I played in the past WC 1-5, i didn't like the the format, once missions were over,
    so was the game..........
