swear to god if in the future we dont invade an alien planet blaring bag pipes or fortunate son im gonna be very disappointed in our descendants
You... wouldn't be disappointed that they'd be invading someone's planet? 🤔
@@nickdavidurban but the bagpipes.
@@nickdavidurban under appropriate context I don't see an issue
As a German I shall humbly insist on playing ride of the valkyries instead
Actually on second thought bagpipes are underrated
2012 backer here, i check in every few months to see the progress, and was always more interested in Squadron 42 then SC, even though its super cool too of course. Loved Citizen Con this year, was great to see a physical event again. Super excited that S42 looks to be nearing release!
im a 2012 backer too and had wet eyes
Backer from 2015 and this year got me hyped right back up. Might get my first ship in 5 years tonight in response.
It can't be overstated how good of a decision it was to shift all those developers onto SQ42. It was 100% the right call at the time and this is proof of it.
It proves that you can accomplish something quite special when you have a unified vision behind it and not let it be stymied by feature creep. This is something I'm actually looking forward to.
I strongly disagree 1000%
No, just fkn no
now it's the time to focus them on SC!!
@@paoloperrotti8685 Yes yes yes!!!
Mark Hamill: "The advantage here was Chris Roberts. I had such a good time working with him and not only he's a wizard of all things involving games, but he's a great director and a great friend. And really when he asked me, I didn't even have to read the script, I just jumped out. I really wanted to work with him again." - RUclips video: Mark Hamill on Star Citizen, Wing Commander and Star Wars. Channel: PC GAMER
PC Gamer talks to Mark Hamill about his work on Star Citizen's 'Squadron 42' module, his career, fandom and more. (2017)
As a software engineer, I can't stress how important is to get the time you need to develop something. Rushing things or having to maintain a running version constantly while there's missing pieces just leads to going slower.
Let RSI cook!
Not to mention being able to try to get most if not all key systems for SC running properly in S42 allows them to build their vision without having to worry about netcode. Having something you can go "You remember that thing we did there? yeah, like that." on hand gives them a standard to work towards, and it will give them an avenue to improve the AI while it's running at full speed instead of the tick limited version on the PU.
They made the vandull look BAD ASSS AF
It was so good to finally see Vanduul being featured. Good evidence that they’ve not been shirking all the work that needs to be done on the alien races they promised early on.
Chris Roberts has been seeding the idea for Star Citizen going all the way back to the first Wing Commander. The most ambitious game in videogame history.
The music team REALLY did land the score in this trailer for sure.
Dude - that opening view of the fleet with the bagpipes - a real jaw dropper!
I don't really have any context as to what that fleet is or why they're there or what was going on, so none of that resonated with me at all, but the music definitely was excellent
@@nickdavidurban Response fleet after the Invasion of Vega II. It's basically guarding the system against another attack by the Vanduul since Vanduul are nomadic and have a tendency to return to the same location to loot and pillage.
The character that keeps shifting faces is you, the Player Character, who enlisted after the Vega II attack and this will be your future home for the Squadron 42 campaign.
They're just waiting for the UEE to greenlight offensive measures against the Vanduul.
@@graveyardshift6691 Okie dokes
I feel bad for you cats that have been waiting for so long. I didn't know anything about Star Citizen until just a few days ago. I consider myself blessed to be such a new-comer to the IP and what they have to offer here with Squadron 42 looks amazing. I know the pain of waiting for a game is sometimes overwhelming.
Welcome and you are sooooooo lucky.
Welcome. My advice would be to make up your own mind about CIG. There are people that want you to always hate them and others that want you to always love them. It's a good time to be coming in fresh. Have fun!
I backed in 2014 and it hasn't been very difficult for me tbh. I just made the conscious decision to not become over-invested like some people have done. I also essentially "forgot" the game existed now and again, not literally forgot but I mean I just went off and pursued other interests rather than be an over-invested play tester that wears themselves out in hype/disappointment cycles and so becomes bitter about it. I checked on updates once or twice a year, and some years not at all. I understood there are no game development shortcuts to achieving something very ambitious so it would take a long while. So what I'm saying is: just don't become over-invested and don't be bothered about putting the game down for a long while and if SC takes another ten years to be fully launched you will be fine. Civilization is built upon the deferral of gratification. Humanity used to build great works of architecture like cathedrals and great pyramids over many decades. I think a couple decades for a industry-revolutionizing and genre-defining massively-ambitious game is not that big of a deal, and I would be more concerned if our society was not attempting anything ambitious like this. Like how can people dream about humanity colonizing the stars, and at the same time whine about anybody attempting something so ambitious it takes a decade or two to make it? It's silly.
Same here I just got in like 3 months ago and started playing!
@@aguy446no just be like most people, don't care that much, just enjoy the game. Old backers are just so salty so just ignore them and play
2013 backer here. Same as many have already said, I check in every few months and check on the progress. I even continue to support the game by purchasing ships a couple times a year , but I'm not heavily invested in playing it all the time. Hopefully soon we all get to play squadron for the first time and it will all be worth the wait.
I didn't really care about Squadron before this deep dive trailer, but my god does it look fucking amazing.
I've also learned not to trust any trailers, let alone any of CiG's trailers, but this whole CitCon got me really hyped, and this trailer at the end got me super excited. Hopefully it doesn't take another 5 years, and is trash when it's released.
I have been holding the line since 2012. There has been great stuff shown on CitizenCons throughout the years, but this one takes the cake. Manly tears were shed while watching this.
You sweet summer child...
Weak
@@AwakenedAvocado I disagree. There's nothing wrong with shedding tears in the presence of beauty. However, this beauty, like in literally every other CitizenCon ever, is illusory. Don't fall for it again.
@@mbg4681 only tears i ever shed was in Skyrim when i yeeted Lydia off the side of a mountain to the depths below, finding her lifeless corpse i wept as i stripped the armoured bikini from her lifeless body and sold it at the nearest Blacksmith shop.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've never seen such a torn, anguished reaction 😂 both amazed and appalled at the same time. You look like you want to be excited as hell but don't want to be hurt again.
I have six of those F7-A cosmetic upgrades.
But the rarest thing in the game that is currently owned is an actual full military spec F7-A. Guy won it in a contest where they meant to advertise an F7-C, but accidently put A instead. They honored the mistake and gave him the F7-A and it's the only one actually owned.
I've held the line since 2012 man...never backed down even though it was tough at times, I'll admit that. Let's not also forget that this whole thing was first only a singleplayer experience but since they saw the insane support they went ahead and added the PU to their plans too! It's only 2-4 years left of this and we're almost there boys and girls so keep holding that line and we shall arrive together in a plethora of experience;) I for one, cannot wait
>> It's only 2-4 years left of this
lol
I hope its UP TO 2 years, 2-4 years is a huge time for polish
@@idkProduction10 in today industry I think the standard actually is 2-5 years for polish? RDR2 and Starfield spent 1.7 years in polish and RDR2 spent 2.5 years and that’s with their massive studios…again they’re really not comparable bc of the scope difference between SQ42 and rdr2/SF
BUT, I do agree! I sincerely hope they don’t take too long so we can see some real advancement in the PU
Agreed. Been backing since early days and have found that as long as I didn’t hold the money invested or the project itself too tightly, I could enjoy what was released and let all the perpetual hate/love folks pass me by without losing my underlying hope for CIG.
Good to see that finally paying off.
Oh, and mbg4681, replying with acidic derision on every single positive comment here just makes you look desperate for validation. You ain’t slick.
I just realized that the character talking into the mobiglas was multiple different iterations of the player character they were showing off. I first thought it was just a bunch of crew sending a similar message home and was slightly miffed they didn't put in the extra detail to customize the mobiglas as they all had the same options. Makes sense now.
For those in the chat asking about why the dude is calling her "sir". Sir isn't a gendered term. It's a term of respect for a superior. While it's incredibly common nowadays to refer to a female superior as ma'am, calling them "sir", unless they take offense to it and correct otherwise, is also appropriate.
omg i didnt realize that....i thought it was showing different possible characters since your character is customizeable
>> For those in the chat asking about why the dude is calling her "sir". Sir isn't a gendered term.
Whereas in the rest of the world, women are called "ma'am".
@@murccc no you are correct, OP doesnt know what he is talking about. They clearly show of how you can customize your player character.
So glad you uploaded your reaction Mike! Thanks for creating all the content during the development and thanks for not giving up! ✊🏽☺️🎉
the flight deck activity immediately flashed my mind back to the WC movie too
I wonder how many people understood that the barrel scene was mixing A with B and making a bdomb from the bdarrel.
I got goosebump watching this trailer, the technology has come along way since their last SQ42 trailer....I cant imagine so many haters want this game to be doomed and failed, I really hope this game will succeed, SC is unique and I can understand that there is a lot of effort and dedication put into this. I hope its not too long to wait though lol, I know , we don't like waiting as it is our human nature, but I guess after watching this trailer I probably can wait a bit longer haha 😂😂
I mean its a highly curated trailer. At this point you can watch any big budget movie and lose your mind
Tbh you cannot say if it's a good game from a trailer, and that got verified again and again those years.
@@danielc9967 Curated by what level? We clearly see glitch and some stuttering here and there. The fact it is in-engine say it all. They did make it for real. Those features and tech will be implemented over the next 12 months. No problem to wait, there is no game released close to what SC will offer end of 2024 and beyond.
NGL - after over a decade and ignoring all the haters and nay-sayers, it felt pretty amazing to see that they're finally getting to a point to finish SQ42 and prove all their detractors wrong. I can't wait until some of this tech makes its way over to SC. Oh and by the way Mike, DID you pick up your cheque? - lol
Don’t count your chicks mate. A lot of things have to line up
They didn't prove all of them wrong. First its all just a presentation, wait and see what will be delivered - and also, they made a lot of bad mistakes and unethical behavior in the past, that is not nothing. But that doesn't mean they aren't capable of getting it right in the end.
There are prolly thousands of people who are already dead, who backed this game. Especially after the events of virus pandemic.
And judging by the trailer, it is going to be a just-so above-average game with a sprinkle of some unique features.
And the funniest part, is the simingly indifferent reaction in the face of zoomers and younger, most of whom that dont know know what this game is and dont care. That is your today's gamer demographic
@@Nick-cs4oc you might need to look up the term feature complete, nearly all of the things have lined up, the biggest things plaguing the multiplayer don't factor in here, no need for server meshing or database changes, the hard part is over, that's why the announcement was so emotional
I said the same thing in 2013 "I'll be playing my sq42 in 6 months cause Chris said so, suk it haterz"
The fact that they aren’t afraid to show the wonky parts, makes the good parts look even more impressive 😮
So awesome and thanks to you and levelCap for your coverage
Good to see your enthusiasm back @SaltEMike! Love where SC is going! And thanks for the coverage! You guys did great!
As a former sailor it irks me to see officers not saluting back. Very disrespectful. Even officers that found the ritual annoying would salute back out of respect.
No head dress and on sail in inter-system space. Most navy don't salute of respect any rank of officer except for the CO while at sail.
Young sailor made an improper salute.
@@Ltaustin117 We didn't even salute the captain while on mission. Good point though he's probably making a mistake.
Meh, it’s all about ego.
@aguy446 yeah, at that point in the story you haven't even made it into the academy yet. The MC is green as hell.
not gonna lie, that heavy bagpipe intro was such a good theme to open with. That was chilling.
How amazing was it that the npc walked the ladder up to the gladius and climbed up and walked onto the ship flawlessly
I love that they're like ultimate realism as the guy walks right through the refueling hose as if its not there lol
I held the line and havnt gotten more than the starter package
Im starting to figur out everything that has happened to CIg, First 4 guy i the basement in 2011, then crow funded in 2012 but had no clear plans on how it will turn, 2013-2014-2015 they worked on a ancinet version of sq42 probably hire a bunch of external studio like they did with the first fps module and they were about to release sq42 but it was messy and not really what they wanted. they choosed to open the scope for sc but it was also for sq 42. for their new scope they were need new server tech. in 2016 we all know whats hapened. they rebuilted eveyrthing in sq42 from 2016 to 2023 so 7 years they developped their engine at the same time and sc the past 4 years 80 percent moved to sq42 because anyway the pu was already over saturated of entity 4 years ago and they needed at least 4-5 years to create all the server tech to continuer to expand sc so they kept programer in SC and eveyrone gone on sq42 during that time thats anyways could not see more implentation of huge amounts of stuff in the pu due to server meshing. Now sq 42 is feature completed, they created most of the engine and they are in polishing phase so almost half of the sq42 have finishe dtheir work they will comeback in Sc just at the moment when entity streaming and server meshing seems to be working for partial or full implementation deblocking the hard limits for the pu by splitting the game into different servers... I mean i think they have not missmanaged anything its just us that were angry from an external view but all this was the plan... im pretty sure that this time we will see real progress too in the PU . they will probably start squadron episode 2 but the first 2-3 years they dont need much ppls so for the next 3 years most of the work will be on SC and then CIg will be big enough to have a full studio working on sc and 1 full studio working on sq42 we might see episode 2 5 years after the release of episode 1
and inanother 5 years after that episode 3. Dawm i think i just understood all this right now.
one thing i like is it seems like the zoom aim on the ship combat, the whole hands off thing in the flight demo. all seem OPTIONAL. i saw the U come up for being flight ready which is the current hotkey which makes me think that they are still allowing options. im hoping Eyetracker or the analog hats on a flight stick could be used for that section so it doesnt break the feeling.
The money went into StarEngine - the real CIG project.
if Starfield is $400m game. I'm happy with SQ42 + SC for $600m.
damn starfield seriously 400m? how the fuq are people mad at cig, least we have had something playable (even if buggy or plain) for years
@@aviator2252 yep, Starfield is $400m and 9 years of development and it deliver you a "space exploration" that can't fly in atmo, cut scene simulator and people are saying that Star Citizen and SQ42 are scam lmao.
@@aviator2252because they didn’t string along people the whole time?? They released a game and you can like it or not. How’s it going to feel if squadron 42 doesn’t live up? Is buggy and has a meh story?
@@aviator2252thousands of dollars from mega whales for pay to win.. that’s gonna be fun when released and they still have to make that same amount of money
@@TheCorgiesHighly doubt Starfield costs $400M. Looking at Bethesda's production trend it's closer to $200+M.
And it's 7 years of development. BGS is also working on Fallout 76.
31:21 that ending gave me the chills! Really cool!
Man so many actors in this! I can't wait to play it
This is great, I get to see a bunch of people get re-fooled by Chris Roberts in real time!
Mike, I grew up on Wing Commander and you are SO right about the music throwback!
I'm guessing that CIG will say that the rare F7A upgrade only upgrades it from a civilian mark 1 to a military mark 1 (adds grade-A military components, bigger weapons capacitors, and same military livery as the mark 2, hence 'upgrade to make the F7C look like the F7A'), and does not replace the mark 1 hull with a mark 2 hull. Anyway, CR collecting the applause for the false alarm addition of the Sol system to the 'verse was a stroke of genius. SQ42 looks like it's going to be fun game, have great graphics and visual style, and have a famous cast in the cut-aways too, so I'm looking forward to it. I hope we hear good news around ILW on its progress towards a release before the end of next year.
WE HELD IT
Just noticed that in the first few frames of the vandul scene you could see that the thing that they where coming out of has just breached into the room we're in
YEEEEESSSSS! THIS is what I pledged for! We better not have to wait for 2 plus years for this!
Some of the tech in the syar engine is insane. You don't need most of it but building a dream game you want it
Hold chris' ice cream bucket, money well spent.
the bagpipes in space are 10/10
Yup, like in dune
I was sitting behind aron roberts when this was live. really sick experience
The one thing i wish they would change is the weapon reload animations. They dont look bad ofc, but with all those awsome animations of the player character handling objects and how detailed the guns are, the reloads still look like old call of duty with fast mags, like the movements are comically fast, i wish it was more like modern COD or maybe something like Tarkov, with slow reloads that show the weight and importance of a single magazine.
In game i use LMGs because i love seeing the mag go in and out, all ARs and SMGs reload with such quick movements that it feels more like a blur
The weapons malfunction on their own already 😂
Mocap aint cheap especially after take 3000 and 25. Slate 25, take 50 6 years later version revision 50_008A-B22596. We booking ADR in studio for the 42nd time in 6 years for one page? Still looks fucking goooood and maybe thats why LOL
Glad to see that Chris Roberts and Staff put together something for us to anticipate as they enter into polishing of Squadron 42. So far it looks incredible and can not wait to play it. As for the PU....good stuff is coming hold the line.
>> Glad to see that Chris Roberts and Staff put together something for us to anticipate
The only thing CR is good at is putting together something for us to anticipate. It got old by 2015. I don't know why everyone is still interested.
@@mbg4681 yeah why would anyone be interested in playing two amazing games
That music is so similar to Wing Commander it hits me in the feels
2028: Operators are Standing By! Polish phase is done!
2045: Performance optimization is ready to commence
For all those who want the f7a you can get the nose and back turret mount if you softdeath the hornet from the first eckart security mission
but i want the wings they have s4 weapons
Hey Mike, I was there in 2015 when they made that sale, I think it was like a veterans celebration, where they were donating some money to veterans in any case I have it, but was confused about whether it just modifies the look of my ship or the functionality?
Held the line since 2020, bigger respect to all the the og's before
I'll believe it when they deliver it into my hands.
6:45 that's exactly what I was thinking during this 🤣🤣
The song from the Oceans laser scene that you referenced is "Aluminum City" by Honeycut, I believe.
SaltEMike that wasn't just an F8C ad, it was poking fun at all the drama around F8Cs being sold lol
Yeah that Manchester transition got me too lol.
The Bengal carrier to the right of the main Bengal in the beginning looks to have two massive turrets on the top Infront of the bridge at 2:52. Are there different variations of the Bengal? There is also a massive rear facing turret if you look closely as well.
yes there's different versions ones more of a battle ship hence the guns. But they all gonna get blown up sad panda lol
I have been patient by not even paying attention to any Star Citizen news. This is the first time in 10 years I've watched any footage of Star Citizen/SQ 42. I'm excited, but now I'll go back to going dark on any Star Citizen stuff until it comes out. The most exciting this is that it looks like we will actually have a game to play!
You are wise. Hope the released product is fun for you!
Citcon blew my mind this year, the best ever. I am back into hype mode
Next Hold the Line trailer in 2028 to show you only fall through the floor of your ship sometimes.
That AR needs some appropriate recoil. That EVA 2.0 w the laser tripwires reminded me of Lebowski
Anyone old enough to of played the original wing commander games when they first came out must be so hyped for SQ42,I know I am! My brother would be so hyped too, we both thought the WC games were great but sadly he's no longer with us.
You were standing on the cliff more like 😂
CIG are magical, I got so many chill's watching the SQ42 demo. Well done, well done indeed.
I've got the F7C-M Super Hornet ... Isnt that like the F7A but a civilian reskin?
This is why we are here! This is what we came for! We are entertained!
Been wanting an F7A since the first time I saw it. Was always hoping it would be playable before Squadron
you can't buy the military variant. You can however, acquire it in the verse
love the first scene with F7A hornets patrolling the Vega system, F7A is the military version of F7C, similar to F8A Lightning which is the military version of F8C ( civilian version) which recently been released on a 10 days event with a gold and platinum ticket.
" Hold the line" sounds great, until you see those 3 vanduul coming trough the door!
I held my beer
S42 is looking good. ❤ Can't wait to play it
Also love Saltes response I couldnt answer the call..so i held the line. Dropped it beautifully too btw lol
For the Record, Squadron 42 is what we originals backed in Kickstarter. This needed to be done first. this needs to be the foundation that the P.U. and Star Citizen is based on. Remember, "star Citizen" is the stretch goal, for the original Squadron 42. It was 100% correct for CIG to stop "chasing the Dragon" with SC and the PU.
I held the line.
This is the new tag line!
There is one person with an actual F-7A, not just the cosmetic kit. That is probably the rarest ship in the verse.
The bagpipes!
When i saw this yesterday at citcon. It changed my idea completely. I really hope thats true and that we are not 3 years away because this time it felt real. I can undertand if they need 15-20 months of polishing witch is about triple the average time of polishing in the gaming industry so should be good expecting release mid 2025 or september october 2025 imagine the release for citcon 2025 should be really good with a launch party at the same time. If its come earlier great great but i hope it dont come later. I think if it launch stable and the life of the game is not under 15 hours that could be one of the best cinematic gaming adventure made to date. NOt that i want it to be extrmly long but 20-25 hours should be a great lenght if its a linear story.
I'm fairly optimistic we will have a release date by summer 2024. It's pretty clear to me that what they showed today wasn't finished up in the past couple weeks. I'd hazard a guess that they've been working on the polish for at least a couple months. They've been sitting on this so the could reveal it at Citcon.
maybe citcon 2024 for the release
Absolute minimum is one year out, probably more like 2-3. Chris said that they are going back on what they said about having to wait until after SQ42 is out before moving features over to the PU, and that the new features they showed off will be making it into the PU over the next year, implying that SQ42 won't be out in the next year.
A summer 2025 release would be perfect as it'll give people ample time to play it kids won't have school and such.
Bin there since November 20, 2013 and Looking forward to it :)
Im onboard financially and emotionally for nearly 8 years now. I hate them and i love them. Right now, im reliefed and happy. Maybe a little more reliefed than happy.
Wasn't an F8 ad, I imagine its something they hype you up for when you earn it later on in the campaign.
The pipes from the music remind me of the battle star remake show
This and the engine stuff was the highlight of citizencon.. it was the only things i cared about.. i am excited for this game
Hold the line, just don’t hold your breath.
you can hold your breath all you want. You'll start breathing again once you pass out
StarRope physics
Mike really try to hyle in line this time
I hope they add all of the actors heads to the Star Citizen DNA pool for heads. I would love to play as John Rhys-Davies in SC
Only if they give us the ability to say the Gimli ine "and little hairy womennnn" with the laugh.
What is the name of the bagpipe song?
I hope we get to have trophies that we can collect ingame that will come with us to SC.
I wish I knee how rare thst F7A upgrade was, I would have gotten more. Still waiting to be able to apply it. Mk2 is sexy.
I got that F7A upgrade 😅 charity FTW, karma works!
You held the line crying all the way
Literally upgrading my pc to all new hardware for this release.
I looks somewhat like not real gameplay yet..... Have this crazy feeling!!!! Sorry I am very excited..... Hope CIG can deliver... really hope a lot.
Sad to think that some people died while holding the line
Weird thing but I've often thought this too. I guess we owe them thanks for helping SC become what it will be an amazing game we living get to enjoy.
@17:32 Gary Oldman predicted the release date ... ;P
@23:41 why do you launch a fighter off a carrier in space this way? It's not in the atmo on sea that you need to build the speed fast... (yea, I know I'm picky but ...)
because it's pressurized
Boat confirmed next submarines so we can build under water bases
Salty, my man…. You did not just call the F7A Mk II, the F7C 😂
Was there talk before of Sqn 42 being released in 3 parts, has that gone now or is it still a thing?
They've finished Episode 1 which is what they're showing off. From what I've seen it's 26 chapters each one being 3+hrs so this is the first of 3 episodes. I don't think they'll begin working on episode 2 until SC is launched
@@ccgod really? Thats mad, ya thought there was something like it being released in 3 parts. Thanks for that. Do you thinknits a good or bad thing? Possibly might lead to more feature creep, but I guess the want to keep it going.also is there still goanna be a thing where if you complete sqn 42 that you get citizenship in the PU for trading and other benefits (not sure if its 1 or all 3 parts)
@@eoincarroll7 Yes, after completing SQ42 you will be able to port your Character into SC.
This means appearance, relationships (if those will be a thing in SQ42), OWNED gear, OWNED ships will carry over.
What i mean with owned is, stuff your character ACTUALLY has themseleves, not was given by the UEE military for their time there.
