Rodrigo Motta Nope. For me its the best! No michael bay explosions (although they can be awesome, if overbearing at times; i'm looking at you epic hornet commercial) just amazing star trek style exploration! This is the type of game that i've dreamed of!
Knighted Guardian Now I can see why You love it. Yes , I love star trek Exploration. That´s why I bought a Connie. But I didnt like the lights , the Music, almost anything in the commercial. I love 2001 , but I didnt found the tribute well done. Maybe I saw in a bad day. I found the Freelancer commercial better.
It was the best for me because it had the most detail. I mean we have alien races, the buggy, and multiple voiced and animated characters, and it's the longest trailer so far. I just enjoyed it for the experience more than the others...
Taskmaster Jup, exploring the PU is probably the most exciting thing for me. Hope we will also get stuff like thunderstorms in space (like in Event Horizon). There also was something quite interesting in space, when they showed the first the multi-crew gameplay in the live-stream!
Probably won't, unfortunately. Lets be realistic, think about GTA5 as a benchmark, they had $265,000,0000 and multiple big studio's to make that game and it took a long time too. Now how much have these guys had and how much smaller is their team? It's hard to believe they can build an entire galaxy (universe?) that you can explore like this and still keep it really high quality, the quality of stuff they've shown so far being higher than GTA5 too so even with the same resources they could do less. Maybe I'm completely wrong and they find a way to pull it off in a reasonable time frame, but it does seem almost impossible.
oBLACKIECHANoo There going to be working on the game consistently, putting out new Planets for us to explore. I haven't done that much research but of course there wont be a whole galaxy to explore that would take light years :p
"It could sustain life" "Good, ready the planetary bombardment cannons. We're going to make sure it never does." At least that's what Evil Kirk/Picard would do.
***** Now that I know that, I'm not going to get it when it comes out on PC (whenever the hell that is). I will wait for a drastic Steam sale or Humble Bundle before I spend a dime on the game.
Okay...i think we can agree this constellation ad is awesome ;p if Star Citizen can deliver at one point of his lifespan exploration gameplay similar to what we see here i'm pretty sure SC will just succeed in making a truely immersive ( and mindblowing !) persistant universe ! I can't wait to see this happening. Keep going guys great work!
This made my eyes water, honest to Roberts it did... Oh how I do hope everything works out well for this game and it doesn't cost a fortune at release. It might just end up being the first game I buy in 6+ years, har-har. Well, if I can afford the graphics card required to play it.
Cuerex I don't make a purchase when I don't know what I'm getting and if my PC is enough to run it. Plus, the dollar exchange rate is double in Russia right now so it's best to postpone any purchases in currency.
You know, everytime I watch this, no matter how tired I am waiting for SC to finally be ready, I am completely renewed in my excitement of the ultimate next game that will ruin my job, my relationships and my life. Can't wait! 😂
I also feel like that. I always have a huge smile after watching these commercials. Did you see the Consolidated Outland Pioneer presentation? Send shivers down my spine. :D
I have my doubts as well. CIG has deviated from their planned release dates too many times now it's hard to believe they'll release anything on time. We'll have to see.
I do belive that they are behind schedule as well. For example this months' subscriber flair isn't actually ingame - instead, the subscribers have to wait for the 2.6 release to recive their flair item. This doesn't usually happen, so i assume that CIG expected that they would've released 2.6 by now, but they are behind schedule. I do hope we get 2.6 still in 2016, and a friend of mine had the idea that maybe they will just skip 2.6 and push out 3.0 alltogether (given the two updates focus on different things and are developed in paralell to each other). This year also brings winter holidays and the anniversary sale with it, during which we most likely won't see any update - so my guess is either they push out 3.0 directly, or it'll be 2.6 this year and we need to wait for 2017 for 3.0 - i don't see two updates happening within a month and a half.
Your crowdsource dollars in action. I don't really keep up with Star Citizen, but this blew me away! They must have tons of resources to pump out rad rendertrailers like this just for show! I also like how you can blame the cheesiness of it on it being a genuine commercial from the futuuuure :D
***** The Oso systems hosts a race of aliens which are protected by the fiar chance act. Their meat however is considered delicious by the Xi'an (an advanced alien race) so there's that. Also the Hades systems hosts 2 planets that wiped out each other with mass destruction weapons but there's supposedly a series of artifacts to discover
OMG this was beautifully and magnificently made! Really enjoyed the Odyssey feel in the beginning it really set the right tone! Cant wait to get this game....i thought the original date was November this year or early next but now im hearing it wont come out till 2016? Tis true?! Say it aint so!
Dang... to be expected though i guess since its so awesome a game and concept. THey better make sure they use this to its fullest potential because by then other gaming companies may catch the hint and try to copy not to mention other games like No Man's Sky and (the other space sim coming out early next year idk what its called) will be out by then...
Erudite At the very very beginning, yes, late 2014 was the planned release date. Then they made $20 million in crowd funding in 8 months, and the game expanded in scope by a considerable amount.

Ive put several hundred down because I think this will be one of the best MMO's Ive ever played, not because I want a cool campaign mode
@@GeoRyukaiser bro what. where did you get millenium falcon from the con? its supposed to be an exploration vessel, you know, the whole gameplay loop thats missing from the SPACE game LOL. cope, go play elite dangerous it actually is a finished game
@@kylew673 The base Connie, the Andromeda, is more of a gunship/cargo hauler. Which is what the Millennium Falcon was. It's also how the connie was originally presented to the community.
Witness the epicness! I've known this commercial since over a year now and accidentally watched it again just now, and I had my eyes get wet for excitement! 2.0 is right behind the corner! whoop whoop!
Dark Star I mean with the exploration, landing on giant planets with alien creatures and ground vehicles to explore alien planets and discover things nobody has seen before.
+olegator5 I believe it will let you, its just you would be fined, or have government ships sent after you. The whole idea of the game is that you can break the law or abide by it.
+dxxPacmanxxb Maybe 1% of gamers would be able to afford a PC to play it smoothly. So it won't for the sake of the game lasting with a good customer base.
First thing you do when you land on a new planet? Fire up that diesel jeep...one would think electric is the way to go considering you have no idea what kind of atmosphere it will have.
Kyle Rybski You have no idea what kind of atmosphere you are going to encounter when you leave home so putting a a big diesel-run vehicle in cargo is a longshot.
Kyle Rybski Spore used the same music as this and looks much more similar, however, in spore it doesn't transition to a ship like this does. I think it acknowledges both.
Knighted Guardian I heard there will be lot of exploration elements in ME4 but I'm not interested in Bioware anymore . Most of the talent have left the company and others just focus way too much on "sex" and social justice simulation than actual gameplay . Look at Dragon Age 2 . What a disaster . Look at ME3 ending . Disaster . Dragon Age Inquisition is the most important game from Bioware . Hopefully they'll pull it off or I'm done with them .
I like the Stanlry Kubrick touch ... shows these guys understand sci-fi of quality and what people expect of them , one of the best space games that will ever be !
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Seriously. This is what so many of us want to be able to do in a video game: Exploration. If they could ship this much right now I'd be happy, and never need to fire a single shot. (But that'll be fun too.)
Just saying, to all that have said that this takes a lot of elements from previous media; yeah, maybe it does, even on purpose. Look at it this way: 1. It is a commercial, many have humour in them. 2. Maybe the Star Citizen team might have wanted to show some part of nostalgia to all those space games and movies that have contributed so much towards the advance of the Sci-Fi world. The Spore/2001: A Space Odyssey parodies actually makes us remember the film and then the game. Imagine if Spore's space exploration was like this... I mean, The Star Trek feel of commanding a whole fleet, players, worker AI/NPCs, is just so huge. 3. About the Mass Effect exo-suits, I agree, yes, probably taken from them. But again, imagine a game that mixes all those awesome game moments, whether they are from Mass Effect or Spore, in a sick, modified engine superior from that of Crysis 3, what some have been calling CryEngine 3.5/4, that actually allow us to revive those "holy-cow-I-just-missed-a-heart-beat-moments", from movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Avatar, Alien, The Fifth Element, Star Trek, etc. (not including Prometheus because I thought it was a pretty bad alteration to the Alien Saga). It’s a movie in a game, with the expertise in space games from Wing Commander. I sweat cold and my hairs actually get aroused from the thought. Also, talking about the procedural generation, yes, Elite: Dangerous has procedural generation, and for the moment, Star Citizen doesn't appear to have. But think of it: not many procedurally generated open world games approach the depth a hand-crafted open world game such as The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, not saying its better, but as an example, the quests and dungeons all have their own vibe and special feel to it. Every part of it is special, because it is limited; of course, you can add mods, and extend the world, add content, just as Star Citizen will allow. Now look back at the infinite space. It is a scary idea, that you will never know the whole universe: too huge for some people. Instead, Star Citizen gives you quality space exploration, probably with hidden treasures, artifacts, or else. Who knows? 50 planets are a lot, for an average player, you couldn't say they will get to know each one until the last corner, even if their limited to 2-3 landing sites, and even less if the world will be continuously added upon, creating new planets every 1-2 weeks. Star Citizen won't be something that will be easily forgotten, and with those graphics, will prevail at the top of the chain for many years. I think Star Citizen will be the next big game; it already is a great achievement, record-breaking feat for all the PC gamers, "already a major success", quoting a bald Scottish astronomer. It's not a CoD that can be forgotten within the next year, because they now added robotic dogs to the game. If you don't have a good PC, I would start saving up, this game is going to blow up the market; I'm looking at you Xbox and PlayStation: no monthly fee to play the biggest and greatest MMO Space Sim. By the way, at 1:51, look at the status board at the upper left corner. Half-Life 3 confirmed.
Holy damn are they moving fast in that shot at 1:50. Using Space Engine to replicate that shot, they're moving at about 4-5000 kilometres/second. Hope they don't have to take any evasive manoeuvres!
It's Paramount's fault. They made it the Prime Directive specifically so it would be indivisible so that it couldn't be used across two different franchises.
I actually really like these commercials. It's cool to see that ships are going to be more like cars; a super common occurrence and a hobby for those interested. I'm excited!
This is not just a game anymore, there is no other game that treats its virtual world like this. It's awesome and it's a step towards true sci-fi gaming.
Awesome CIG! The only thing that needs work are the facial and body animations. I realize this is alpha level stuff, but please improve that. Right now those characters looked very uncanny valley. o _ o
It's not really that important in a space game to be honest. They have other priorities. In fact they should spend the money on the game instead of these cinematics.
Vidyadude This is their marketing, it draws in a lot of new backers every time they do a commercial. Also, it's practice for doing their in-game cinematics, so it's really a cost effective thing to produce these videos. kxmode this is all work in progress, the animations, especially the faces, are a lot better than in the previous commercials. It only going to get better as time goes on and they get more experience.
Rastislav Palugyay You're clearly an idiot if you really think the game will look this good. You can render almost photorealistic scenes in cry-egnine, that does not fucking mean you can run it well. Remember, in this video there are barely any calculations to be made. No ai, no physics, no gameplay, no nothing. It's all pre-baked. No "in-engine" trailer EVER has looked like the actual released product. The game will look similar but please don't expect it to look as good.
Vidyadude Heh, Arena Commander looks this good, in fact so far the actual game has looked better than the trailers. We shall see how good the Connie looks when multi-crew ships get into Arena Commander.
Well, so much for the Prime Directive. Haha, anyways, I was starting to lose faith in this game, but seeing stuff like this really brings me back in. If you just give me a ship, a buggy, and a slew of planets to explore then I will be a happy person. I have faith in you that you'll get exploration right and make it truly feel like you're exploring, not going down to a random boring copy-paste planet for some experience points or something. I guess only time will tell, but if it's anything like it is in this trailer it will be amazing.
***** Right, because an alien species in the birthing stages of civilization won't be at all affected by a giant thing coming down from the sky and tall people encased in metal and "moving iron boxes with round things on them" won't affect the development of the species at all.
I have never in my life been so amazed by a trailer. All I could think of was "I can't wait to see their reactions when they meet the local tribe" and then it just ended. What. A. Tease.
You know you can melt your current one down and get its credit back right? Then buy a new variant partially with the store credits you get back and you've only spent the extra for the upgrade cost. Sorted. :)
RazordraacGaming and Alberto Martinez You both misunderstood me. I liked the new variants so much I bought another one instead of just upgrading my current one. And why melt one down if you can upgrade it as needed?
U know before i was like: This is going to be like x-rebirth. It can't live up to expectation. Too much hype. too many things to do. But now, now i'm like: HOW STUPID WAS I. THIS IS NOT A GAME, THIS IS ART, this IS the game. When someone says VIDEOGAME, this is what they need to think. Even if you don't like the genre. Obviosly if they can do it. But i'm sure of it. They're doing progress and they still have 2 years to go. Can't wait for it.
Love that this commercial took inspiration from 2001: A Space Odyssey (the music, showing a primitive alien species instead of primitive humans, who encounter an alien (human) vessel)
***** I am not saying it would look the same. they even haven't applied some technologies in this demo yet such as facial animation. We expect it to be even better on full release.
apart from the ship thats more a trailer for Elite: Dangerous, b/c there are not enough systems in StarCitizen to really go exploring (50, are you kidding me?). My guess: 1-2 days after release every system will be done/explored.
Luke Bellamy systems in SC are scaled-down tremendously (only a few AU). So, you have 50, rel. small systems each containing a few planets max. Play ED and you gonna know how big a system really is - and you gonna have 400,000,000,000 of them.
How can you know? It's not like sc is released yet. You don't know it's scaled down. In fact from the interviews it sounds like they are going to be massive with hidden exploration points, planet landings etc. ED is just repetition currently, although that may change as it leaves beta. Kinda pointless having this debate but continue rubbishing something that isn't released yet if you wish...
It's better to have 50 handcrafted systems that are interesting to explore then several millions out of which over 99% could end up being almost the same due to the limitations of procedural generation.
sirknightartorias thats not my point. my point is: 50 systems take a few days to explore max. So, no replay value b/c always the same and massive spoilers all over the net. Thats no exploring. Also I prefer a more realistic universe than some handcrafted artificial "hotspots".
that SPORE reference tho! That realy killed me. Absolutely speechless. My two favorite games combined! Guess I'll need to buy them all now. nicely made RSI!
***** You probably have to have some type of license in order to get to a remote distant unclaimed world and have to follow sets of guidelines in order to do anything, be it be mining, general exploration, etc.
Eric Williams Welp, my comments keep disappearing. This is very odd. Search on youtube Star Citizen: Constellation Multi-Crew Combat MAybe it was because of links
Love watching these it’s such a hype train that never happened, I play every so often but just get bored like as soon as I take my 160 dollar ship out.
Now you need to own 4 of them!
(will probably wait for the PU to arrive and buy them in game)

They are kind of weird though. They're the Star Citizen version of the Millenium Falcon yet they suck as cargo ships.
@@GeoRyukaiser bro what. where did you get millenium falcon from the con? its supposed to be an exploration vessel, you know, the whole gameplay loop thats missing from the SPACE game LOL. cope, go play elite dangerous it actually is a finished game
@@kylew673 The base Connie, the Andromeda, is more of a gunship/cargo hauler. Which is what the Millennium Falcon was.
It's also how the connie was originally presented to the community.
@@GeoRyukaiser bro you are legit coping so hard cause smuggling isn't even a viable gameplay loop in this either LMAO
2:27 When I saw this I thought of this:
Console peasants seeing their first glimpse of the PC Master Race.
Also since this is ingame footage.... WOW.
Love the soundtrack at 2:20
Witness the epicness! I've known this commercial since over a year now and accidentally watched it again just now, and I had my eyes get wet for excitement! 2.0 is right behind the corner! whoop whoop!
Man that was awesome....I didn't wznt it to end, it felt like a show..Awesome work as always guys.
If Star Citizen Gameplay would look like this, I would buy it
Dark Star I mean with the exploration, landing on giant planets with alien creatures and ground vehicles to explore alien planets and discover things nobody has seen before.
+dxxPacmanxxb there is a disclaimer in there that contacting primitive alien species is punishable by law. So... it probably won't let you.
+olegator5 I believe it will let you, its just you would be fined, or have government ships sent after you. The whole idea of the game is that you can break the law or abide by it.
+dxxPacmanxxb Maybe 1% of gamers would be able to afford a PC to play it smoothly. So it won't for the sake of the game lasting with a good customer base.
***** I don't mean the graphics ;)
Space crabs: Confirmed!
Also, that whole 2001: a space oddyssey theme was freaking EPIC! I love these commercials.
First thing you do when you land on a new planet? Fire up that diesel jeep...one would think electric is the way to go considering you have no idea what kind of atmosphere it will have.
Kyle Rybski You have no idea what kind of atmosphere you are going to encounter when you leave home so putting a a big diesel-run vehicle in cargo is a longshot.
It's probably some chemical power plant liek in the p 52 hence the car sounds. Yep. Totally
Am I the only one who realized the Spore parody?
No, but it's a en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_Space_Odyssey_%28film%29 parody.
Hector Drake wow, they just packed the parodies right in
Yeah I got that. LOL
Yeah I got it too
Kyle Rybski
Spore used the same music as this and looks much more similar, however, in spore it doesn't transition to a ship like this does. I think it acknowledges both.
When your real-time game engine now looks ten times better than your pre-rendered trailers.
Fun fact, planets in Star Citizen REALLY look this good!
Awesomesauce, love the 2001 Reference!
Melted my Freelancer DUR, and grabbed an Aquila!
this is kinda like the "Mass Effect" game I always wanted.
Same! :D I hope Mass Effect 4 is like this...
indeed!
Knighted Guardian
I heard there will be lot of exploration elements in ME4 but I'm not interested in Bioware anymore . Most of the talent have left the company and others just focus way too much on "sex" and social justice simulation than actual gameplay . Look at Dragon Age 2 . What a disaster . Look at ME3 ending . Disaster . Dragon Age Inquisition is the most important game from Bioware . Hopefully they'll pull it off or I'm done with them .
I like the Stanlry Kubrick touch ... shows these guys understand sci-fi of quality and what people expect of them , one of the best space games that will ever be !
That was.... was.... (Wipes drool) Fucking awesome!
Agreed!!!
I for one am impressed!!! This was a great introduction to the exploration aspect of Star Citizen. Bravo!
Je passe tellement de temps a voir et revoir cette vidéo .... :D
Je crois que ce qui me fait le plus baver c’est le rover :D
This is awesome. Adding my own dubstep/vocoder song to this and posting it in fan fiction.
This aged like warm milk.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Seriously. This is what so many of us want to be able to do in a video game: Exploration. If they could ship this much right now I'd be happy, and never need to fire a single shot. (But that'll be fun too.)
This... Aside from the 2001 references seems like someone spent too much time watching star trek. XD
+KuraIthys Particularly Voyager and Prometheus :D
+Tony Light and my butthole!
Just saying, to all that have said that this takes a lot of elements from previous media;
yeah, maybe it does, even on purpose. Look at it this way:
1. It is a commercial, many have humour in them.
2. Maybe the Star Citizen team might have wanted to show some part of nostalgia to all those space games and movies that have contributed so much towards the advance of the Sci-Fi world. The Spore/2001: A Space Odyssey parodies actually makes us remember the film and then the game. Imagine if Spore's space exploration was like this... I mean, The Star Trek feel of commanding a whole fleet, players, worker AI/NPCs, is just so huge.
3. About the Mass Effect exo-suits, I agree, yes, probably taken from them. But again, imagine a game that mixes all those awesome game moments, whether they are from Mass Effect or Spore, in a sick, modified engine superior from that of Crysis 3, what some have been calling CryEngine 3.5/4, that actually allow us to revive those "holy-cow-I-just-missed-a-heart-beat-moments", from movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Avatar, Alien, The Fifth Element, Star Trek, etc. (not including Prometheus because I thought it was a pretty bad alteration to the Alien Saga). It’s a movie in a game, with the expertise in space games from Wing Commander. I sweat cold and my hairs actually get aroused from the thought.
Also, talking about the procedural generation, yes, Elite: Dangerous has procedural generation, and for the moment, Star Citizen doesn't appear to have. But think of it: not many procedurally generated open world games approach the depth a hand-crafted open world game such as The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, not saying its better, but as an example, the quests and dungeons all have their own vibe and special feel to it. Every part of it is special, because it is limited; of course, you can add mods, and extend the world, add content, just as Star Citizen will allow. Now look back at the infinite space. It is a scary idea, that you will never know the whole universe: too huge for some people. Instead, Star Citizen gives you quality space exploration, probably with hidden treasures, artifacts, or else. Who knows? 50 planets are a lot, for an average player, you couldn't say they will get to know each one until the last corner, even if their limited to 2-3 landing sites, and even less if the world will be continuously added upon, creating new planets every 1-2 weeks.
Star Citizen won't be something that will be easily forgotten, and with those graphics, will prevail at the top of the chain for many years. I think Star Citizen will be the next big game; it already is a great achievement, record-breaking feat for all the PC gamers, "already a major success", quoting a bald Scottish astronomer. It's not a CoD that can be forgotten within the next year, because they now added robotic dogs to the game. If you don't have a good PC, I would start saving up, this game is going to blow up the market; I'm looking at you Xbox and PlayStation: no monthly fee to play the biggest and greatest MMO Space Sim.
By the way, at 1:51, look at the status board at the upper left corner. Half-Life 3 confirmed.
Holy damn are they moving fast in that shot at 1:50. Using Space Engine to replicate that shot, they're moving at about 4-5000 kilometres/second. Hope they don't have to take any evasive manoeuvres!
I'd watch this show every week.
have these guys ever heard of the prime directive ? clearly not !
+01wcutle Read the little disclaimer at the end
It's Paramount's fault. They made it the Prime Directive specifically so it would be indivisible so that it couldn't be used across two different franchises.
As usual, the visuals totally blew me away! I can totally imagine short films like this being made in-game by real players!
2:34 epic music !!!
I actually really like these commercials. It's cool to see that ships are going to be more like cars; a super common occurrence and a hobby for those interested. I'm excited!
They should make a web-series or a small movie out of these animated characters.
I'm looking so much forward to explore the universe!
the stream was about 144p 20fps with motion blur, so cinematic
You've out done yourselves. This is truely beautiful. Imagine this optimized for DX12 running on your new hardware... awesome :)
This is not just a game anymore, there is no other game that treats its virtual world like this. It's awesome and it's a step towards true sci-fi gaming.
Reflects on what we'll be able to do in-game. Discover new planets, and explore them. I like this trailer!
Awesome CIG! The only thing that needs work are the facial and body animations. I realize this is alpha level stuff, but please improve that. Right now those characters looked very uncanny valley. o _ o
It's not really that important in a space game to be honest. They have other priorities. In fact they should spend the money on the game instead of these cinematics.
Vidyadude This is their marketing, it draws in a lot of new backers every time they do a commercial. Also, it's practice for doing their in-game cinematics, so it's really a cost effective thing to produce these videos. kxmode this is all work in progress, the animations, especially the faces, are a lot better than in the previous commercials. It only going to get better as time goes on and they get more experience.
Rastislav Palugyay
You're clearly an idiot if you really think the game will look this good. You can render almost photorealistic scenes in cry-egnine, that does not fucking mean you can run it well. Remember, in this video there are barely any calculations to be made. No ai, no physics, no gameplay, no nothing. It's all pre-baked. No "in-engine" trailer EVER has looked like the actual released product. The game will look similar but please don't expect it to look as good.
Rastislav Palugyay
Replied in the wrong discussion.
Vidyadude Heh, Arena Commander looks this good, in fact so far the actual game has looked better than the trailers.
We shall see how good the Connie looks when multi-crew ships get into Arena Commander.
I love this Space Odyssey 2001 homage - and the inevitable Star Trek inspiration. The monolith RSI logo - touché.
Well, so much for the Prime Directive. Haha, anyways, I was starting to lose faith in this game, but seeing stuff like this really brings me back in. If you just give me a ship, a buggy, and a slew of planets to explore then I will be a happy person. I have faith in you that you'll get exploration right and make it truly feel like you're exploring, not going down to a random boring copy-paste planet for some experience points or something. I guess only time will tell, but if it's anything like it is in this trailer it will be amazing.
Did you not see the fine print at the end?
***** Right, because an alien species in the birthing stages of civilization won't be at all affected by a giant thing coming down from the sky and tall people encased in metal and "moving iron boxes with round things on them" won't affect the development of the species at all.
I have never in my life been so amazed by a trailer. All I could think of was "I can't wait to see their reactions when they meet the local tribe" and then it just ended. What. A. Tease.
love my conny
I've watched this dozens of times and grown a new appreciation for the series as a whole
They lifted this beauty straight from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Damn I was going to just upgrade my current Connie to one of the variants, but nope, I had to go and buy a whole new one...
You know you can melt your current one down and get its credit back right? Then buy a new variant partially with the store credits you get back and you've only spent the extra for the upgrade cost. Sorted. :)
You can just buy an upgrade to make it one of the other variants.
RazordraacGaming and Alberto Martinez You both misunderstood me. I liked the new variants so much I bought another one instead of just upgrading my current one. And why melt one down if you can upgrade it as needed?
Evil Merlin You think 5thats crazy, I already owned 3 Connie's in preparation for the variants. :)
Evil Merlin I thought you meant that you physically couldn't upgrade, but I see what you mean now :) Which one you getting?
The best yet!
Thanks CIG.
Oh my god, the reference! And it was nearly better than the Original! :D
I dont even remember being this excited for stuff when i was younger. I am Legitimately excited to do all this game has to offer.
U know before i was like: This is going to be like x-rebirth. It can't live up to expectation. Too much hype. too many things to do. But now, now i'm like: HOW STUPID WAS I. THIS IS NOT A GAME, THIS IS ART, this IS the game. When someone says VIDEOGAME, this is what they need to think. Even if you don't like the genre. Obviosly if they can do it. But i'm sure of it. They're doing progress and they still have 2 years to go. Can't wait for it.
well, this comment didn't age well :D
2001 must still be considered a classic even that far into the future. I APPROVE
Am I the only one that thought "why is Gollum throwing a penis?" :P Im so hyped!
*throws credit card at the screen* TAKE MY MONEY!
Love that this commercial took inspiration from 2001: A Space Odyssey (the music, showing a primitive alien species instead of primitive humans, who encounter an alien (human) vessel)
Wait. Are these ingame graphics? Like this is what I would see infront of my fucking eyes when I get to play the game?
Yes
Yup
PC MASTER RACE
***** its in engine not pre rendered
***** I am not saying it would look the same. they even haven't applied some technologies in this demo yet such as facial animation. We expect it to be even better on full release.
I love how they print the company logo with their footprints.
One Small Step for a Man, one giant leap for RSI.
Anyone notice the black monolith reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey?
There were quite a bit more 2001 references than that. haha
everything in this video references that
Was gonna say the same thing. About 90% of the video is a parody in some way of the opening of 2001.
It's not a parody, it's a pastiche ;)
it feels like a movie. i love it
This video was released 6 years ago. Is this gameplay out yet? Lul
Nicely done, a pleasure to watch this video clip!
I. WANT. ONE!
Me too, :D
The game should have a free package and 1 free ship, :(
Dylan Vos LOL it's not that expensive to join up.
+Tec it's 35 at the min now
you know what i love about it the most? it's exactly that. a commercial for a ship. down to the logo on footprint XD
OMG! Hypeeeeee!
Amazing Game Designs... and Love the Foot Prints...
Do I ha e to pay $200 for ships after game releases??
Why should you, and what for?
Hector Drake cuz I already spent $50 on this game, is it possible to buy ships with ingame money??
SeriousFox
yes everything you can buy with real money can also be bought with in game currency when the game comes out
SeriousFox
yes. all these ships will be available in game for in-game money.
SeriousFox yes
I really hope the cut scenes in squadron 42 are up to par with these ship commercials. They are fantastic!
apart from the ship thats more a trailer for Elite: Dangerous, b/c there are not enough systems in StarCitizen to really go exploring (50, are you kidding me?). My guess: 1-2 days after release every system will be done/explored.
You clearly have no idea how big a solar system is.... also it will grow from 50.
Luke Bellamy systems in SC are scaled-down tremendously (only a few AU). So, you have 50, rel. small systems each containing a few planets max. Play ED and you gonna know how big a system really is - and you gonna have 400,000,000,000 of them.
How can you know? It's not like sc is released yet. You don't know it's scaled down. In fact from the interviews it sounds like they are going to be massive with hidden exploration points, planet landings etc. ED is just repetition currently, although that may change as it leaves beta. Kinda pointless having this debate but continue rubbishing something that isn't released yet if you wish...
It's better to have 50 handcrafted systems that are interesting to explore then several millions out of which over 99% could end up being almost the same due to the limitations of procedural generation.
sirknightartorias thats not my point. my point is: 50 systems take a few days to explore max. So, no replay value b/c always the same and massive spoilers all over the net. Thats no exploring. Also I prefer a more realistic universe than some handcrafted artificial "hotspots".
that SPORE reference tho! That realy killed me. Absolutely speechless. My two favorite games combined! Guess I'll need to buy them all now.
nicely made RSI!
ok I got it now ... It's a space odyssey reference but still it gave me a cool feeling seeing the scene in both games!
I see that this universe doesn't have first contact rules.
So you didn't read the disclaimer?
***** You probably have to have some type of license in order to get to a remote distant unclaimed world and have to follow sets of guidelines in order to do anything, be it be mining, general exploration, etc.
***** Real according to some other fictional universe. Nice.
Missed the fine print at the end eh?
I have no words to describe how happy i am right now...
Ill have to come back to video in a few hours in order to collect my thoughts....
7 years already and we still don't have alien creatures like in this video.
Those little Mantis Crab things are finally about to come out!
Where's the video where the hornet shoots a missile, hits the constellation, and it decompresses?
Search it on youtube maybe?
nowhere. they have failed to upload that, anywhere :( which is a shame as that was fantastic!
I sorta linked it though. Loo kat my first comment, it's a link
Guillermo Bilbao No idea where your first comment is, lol.
Eric Williams Welp, my comments keep disappearing. This is very odd.
Search on youtube Star Citizen: Constellation Multi-Crew Combat
MAybe it was because of links
Love watching these it’s such a hype train that never happened, I play every so often but just get bored like as soon as I take my 160 dollar ship out.
Heh, the monolith.
