From the mind of Chris Roberts, acclaimed creator of Wing Commander and Freelancer, comes STAR CITIZEN. 100% crowd funded, Star Citizen aims to create a living, breathing science fiction universe with unparalleled immersion… and you’re invited to follow every step of development!

More than a space combat sim, more than a first person shooter and more than an MMO: Star Citizen is the First Person Universe that will allow for unlimited gameplay.

"I don't want to build a game.
I want to build a universe."

Yeah, was thinking about contributing to that one. Thing is, it looks fuck-off involved. More of a proper sim (good thing) than the typical "game" you'd expect.

I've watched tons of videos for it, and it's fucking gorgeous.


I like that you can donate $25 to start, or up to $15000 in their tier system. For $15000, there better be some blackhole sucking at your probe for every second you're playing.

I was thinking of you when I watched it. :lol: The amount of time that you put into games would barely make a scratch in this thing. ;)

heh heh. 1200 hours in Fallout 4, and I still didn't find everything (though I wasn't trying that hard).

I've funded it. Never played any of the Alphas though.

I remember seeing some of this (maybe just screens and the webpage), what a couple years ago? Forgot about it completely, but it looks ace.

Unfortunately, I just don't put enough time into games these days to get the worth out of these heavily immersive games.

This game has been my favorite game of the last two years by far... to watch. :) But yeah, I'm not into paying nice sums of money to beta test stuff. I'd really rather spend on Rogue System, it's more my style, ISI have done me great in the past but again, early access just ain't enough game for me and the development "team" and budget is so, so small compared to most... it's still a year or two away I think. Just like SC. ;)

I almost bought in to SC yesterday. Almost. But, who the hell knows when it will be "Complete"...

Now I'll have to look at this "Rogue System"...

Elite D is on my wish list on Steam too...

I'm ending everything with ellipsis today...

actually, I'm doing rather well with that these days. Of course, I've only bought 2....

Imagine if No Man's Sky had that sort of time and budget and vision.

I read somewhere that Squadron 42 has been delayed again. though one headline said indefinitely.

If anyone wants to give it a test-run...

Want some new Star Citizen news?

Well, after blowing their US$150,000,000 crowd-funded budget, CIG have gone and mortgaged the entire game including IP rights and everything off to the bank to get more funding.

Unbelievable.

Oh shit :eek:

I was just thinking about this game the other day, wondering why I hadn't heard much.

Eek.

The comments indicate a difference of opinion. That said, I'm not reading through the share charge unless I'm paid to do so.

That sounds like a straight cash-out by the principle owners. :|

Ah-ha!

Clarifications have been issued and it looks like a case of nothing to see here.

Looks like CIG got a bank loan using a tax rebate as collateral, purely as a cash-saving measure. Something to do with US and EU currency conversions to U.K. currency. It is all unrelated to Star Citizen.

Also in the post from yesterday I wrote 'Sky Citizen' instead of 'Star Citizen' and no one noticed before I edited it, so that's pretty cool.
