I'm not surprised. Even with COD's usual hatedom and the justifiable reaction to the COD4 HD pack-in scheme, this looks like exactly my jam and probably a lot of other people's too. And I expect most of the downvoters to buy a copy anyway because that's usually what happens with Call of Duty. The fact that Infinity Ward is also taking subtle potshots at CIG that fly under almost everybody's radar? That's just icing. I say almost, because you have to have been paying attention to SC to get their joke. And let's face it, outside of us, a few other critics, and the poor suckers who bought in, nobody's paying any attention to Star Citizen. For good reason.

After almost four years of development and over a hundred million dollars, CIG has given the world zero reason to give a gently caress about them or the games they're ostensibly making. They've got nothing but a janky Crysis mod that barely works and the occasional press release about how good they are at fleecing idiots and all the celebs they've managed to wrangle with that fleeced cash.

I expect CIG to do a big Squadron 42 reveal at CitizenCon. Its going to look a lot like the CoD:IW trailer, except the "citizens" will be patting themselves on the back over how CR "totally owned CoD" while ignoring the facts that the animations are a bit off, the graphics are a bit worse, and SQ42 won't be out in 2016.

I predict it will be completely prerendered mark hamill paaarping around because gameplay footage would be completely embarrassing after E3. Star power is all they have

I agree all the way. Mods generally don't treat threads that generate as many reports on as this one does with much fairness though.

I'm betting that it'll be a lot like various promo trailers for Star Citizen. Showing off pre-rendered in-engine snippets that look great and filled with life, but are very far away from what will actually be in the game because they haven't come close to figuring out to make it all work in a playable game and remain stable. They will show a brief scene showing Mark Hamill talking to Sandi Gardner all while using the slickest language possible to obfuscate details and make everyone think the game is going to look just like this and release before the end of the year.

Then three weeks after COD:IW drops and breaks sales records, we'll hear that SQ42 delayed for some extra polish and Shitizens will rejoice that they won't get their game yet because Chris Roberts is making it the best game ever. It releases sometime in Q2 of 2017 and gaming media will say it's lackluster garbage compared to COD and ME:A. Shitizens will cry that Derek Smart bought out the journalists for bad reviews, the game sells 5,000 copies, and CIG goes under.

At least, that's the plan according to You must have a Platinum Account to read this message.

I sincerely hope this happens, or the alternative route is the long road to extinction. I still know friends from my community which are still buying ships though I'm telling them its a scam. Sunk Cost Fallacy is a real thing.

I'm afraid this is what it will be.

In several months they will start getting rid of employees because "they did what we hired them to do so we don't need them anymore!".

And this will go on until there are about 40 or so left and it will drag on for a loooong time until a buggy, horrible game is released and Chris disappears.

the only thing that could expediate the long road is press turning strongly against them, instead of jocular snide remarks in articles about other space games. i'm honestly surprised they still haven't, especially after they dropped out of e3. there's a goldmine for journalists just waiting to be discovered
