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.

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.
