Okay, where is Knebel? xD
Where is base building?
Awesome. After all these years I think I owe Chris an apology for all my impaciance
Look how much bloat there is and how much your money is being spent on useless shit. Did they REALLY need to build a life size replica ship?
The shake-animation when switching helmet colours is a bit much
From https://youtu.be/VhsgiliheP0?t=350 to 11:13, what a journey! Congratulations!
its going to be a good one
Great….now release a limited time demo for everyone who doesn't have an RTX 5090, with varying systems whose graphics drivers haven't been updated in god knows how long, then we'll have a truer baseline on how stable SQ42 currently is 🍿
Credit where it's due, the mo-cap animated conversations were pretty good. Lightyears ahead of Bethesda's dead-eyed mannequins standing motionless and staring straight ahead anyway
14 long years I've waited for this since the very beginning… and it looks bloody glorious. Whether it was worth the wait, time will tell… but you better not delay it again! 😆
That gaming stage setup with the hornet looks incredible
Cant wait to play SQ42
The sim flight with fight looks so amaz and sounds amazing!
0:57 1:53 i spotted a henken
Im seeing a lot of scripted sequences, what gameplay there is looks good, but i worry that it will fall short outside of said scripted sequences if not much work was put into it…
Also the armour system looks great but those npcs were entirely unresponsive to getting shot at which leaves me concerned. From what im told the ai should be better than that…
God peoples inability to dogfight hurt my soul a little lol.
I hope that character creation is ready: the last time that I logged in (6 months ago), my only male character choice was Black (which I am not). Eventually, through manipulating the creation system, I was almost able to settle upon something that did not resemble my choice, but was not… "appropriating" what I am not.
Gentlemen, this is everything we ever dreamed of.
So brillant
Please tell me the SC idris's get the carrier stuff shown
Honestly if Cavill was also there then maybe I would be even a bit pissed off I had 0 chance to be there 😅, but seems like it was great fun.
For now I can't complain from what I see it looks good, or great. Just want all the haters to eat their words on launch, because yes, it's been a long time coming.
Nice to see where my backer funds actually went to. Can't wait to pay for it again!
What a waste… all that time and money for a long cutscene and some very basic mechanics… gameplay looks boring and tedious full of menial rasks
I'm disappointed that i bought into early access to this game over 10+ years ago. The Wing Commander 35th remaster is a far greater accomplishment. I love WC1 & WC2 and you gotta try the new remaster.
It was cool seeing Hamill play in VR though.
Well done everyone.
also looking forward to this apart from GTA 6
What a load of horseshyte. Instead of spending my pledge on actual star citizen game development, you have chosen to piss against the wall making a cinematic! GFY chris & cig. You don't deserve another penny.
What in the world is that character customization background 😭
of course its a pre-recorded event, they can't do these live anymore because they are absolute nightmares to show actual working products.
Oh my god, please please make this work with Geforce NOW, I moved to Cyprus and I had to leave my game PC behind but I really really want to play this when it launches!
Can't wait to see what the response of the nay-sayers calling it a "scam" will be this time. Also that cloth tech (starwear?)… 🤯
Dreams come true ❤
Fingers crossed, way more exciting than any GTA! 🙂
Looks good: worth the wait for me. Let’s go! GTWho cares. The space sim is reborn
This may be the reason I finally dust off my VR goggles, provided it actually releases before my kid puts me in a home. lol!
