Why would you release it if it wasn't supposed to be revealing or noteworthy?

Just go look on the Brown Sea or Reddit. There are true believers that are praising this as a great leap in gaming history and the very reason why they became backers. Some have thrown more money at this thing because of this.

Croberts may just make this thing work. Not the game of course, but the ongoing "scam". It doesn't matter what happens or how big of a failure it is, they will eat it up.

Adding to tomorrow's predictions:

6) Everything shown will be hot poo poo unless a vocal number of people don't like it, in which case it was just a test video some of our engineers whipped up in an afternoon based on a super early days first iteration and you shouldn't read too much into it, but great things are in the works.

How can CR, the guy who is supposed to have his fingers in everything, say "FPS in march" when it's now October and they are on the FIRST iteration.

Unless of course he's full of poo poo and just saying anything to sell more jpegs.

I remember when they were proclaiming it was almost finished or "close". And this is where things are today?

Persistent Universe is just code name for persistent changes and restarts on the projects - nothing ever gets done, no progress is made, but true believers keep throwing money at it.

There are some, but the responses with the most upvotes are negative or lukewarm. This is a REALLY bad sign considering the usual timbre of /r/starcitizen

Having played through the betas of CounterStrike to what it is now, I'm extremely impressed. I skipped over COD, DOD, MOHAA, etc because they all seem rehashed earthbound shooters.

This is why I backed. Highfives to the StarMarine team.

I can't wait for the demonstration of Star Marine with a good 45 minutes of Christ Roberts yelling at some poor programmer to fix poo poo so that he can make enough from the brown sea by the time he gets off stage to pay his coke dealer.

I'm starting to think banning Beer was as much punitive as preemptive-- because they sure as hell knew he would crap all over this mess in the forums. Banning him takes out their most effective internal critic and reduces the chances they lose control of the narrative at this incredibly critical and fragile moment.

I'm not sure it will be enough. This look lovely enough even the faith militant might figure it out.

The game is still so far from being properly conceived that what "insurance" is actually worth in times or time, credits, or cash is still not known.

My predictions:

1. There will be some kind of bug or error that delays the presentation. It should be noted that CIG was still uploading things to the UK today and CR continues demand more stuff be added.

2. An Aegis dogfighter priced at or above $175 will be made available. At least one reference to Vindicator will be made. It will be better than the Super Hornet.

3. The SQ42 cast will be revealed and estimates on their price will go into the millions.

4. The FPS will be shown. It will be painfully generic and uninspired, showing a complete lack of cohesion or innovation.

5. Multi-crew will be shown. Maybe a scripted boarding assault. It will raise more questions than answers.

6. Chris will wear black. Sandi will wear something awkward.

7. At least one part of the presentation will be repeated due to something loving up.

8. True believers will have their faith increased. Everyone else will just think it's pathetic.

There's a lot to hate, but I think most of all I hate the color palette. I'm not a trained artist by any means but it's hard to imagine trained artists signing off on the most horribly drab, gray, lifeless, generic space station imaginable in year of our lord 2015

Trained artists are the $150m stretch goal.

What's important is that Charmin Roberts signed off on it, right after he chose the laces on the boots.
