So, I admittedly do not understand game development, do not play spacemans pew pew games, and am as old as dirt, but that trailer looks really lovely to me. Like, really lovely compared to something like Skyrim or Fallout 4. Or even Fallout New Vegas.

Is it just me?

They've finally figured out that the only kind of game they can make in that engine is an FPS shooter. Ground claims and tanks are obviously the first steps of the master plan of one upping Battlefront 4 by making the most immersive space first person shooter of all time complete with continuous battles from surface to orbit.

Also I looked up the Pioneer since it got mentioned - IIRC aren't all the crew of a jpeg ship supposed to be actual people? WTF is that bridge? What are all those stations even supposed to do? Is each ship supposed to be like a mini Space Station 13? Are they actually marketing anti-fun?

It’s the only part of the game they have a chance at making progress in. The space part is hard, and may never advance beyond a very basic and janky arcade shooter. The space part will just be the transport sequences between FPS levels, where they have better tutorials to follow and more abilities to make things happen and look good.

There's a general theme of attempting to prove everyone who exiled him from the gaming industry and from hollywood wrong. Star Citizen is a new stab at Freelancer, Squadron 42 a new stab at the Wing Commander franchise and film, hence his general approach to the entire affair as though it were a nearly total cinematic experience.

As to the Wing Commander film itself as near as we've been able to ascertain the plot appears to be virtually identical in terms of broad strokes. Down to the (discovered by Beer actually if memory serves) the ever present somehow undetected backdoor situated directly over old Earth herself.

Look at all the people bitter they didn't buy a land stick when they had the chance. If you are going to claim land--of course you are going to need tanks!! Common sense to any current backer.

Or Crobber just got tired of Derek with the scoops and wanted to toss out a curve ball. "Lets see Derek call a tank!"

Or CIG is realizing their supporters are their most valuable asset and are having this sale to identify the true believers. Clifford probably buys five... Next weeks sale will be the poop emoji with lasers.

Personally I'm holding back my pledge until the hover tank jpeg's are in stock.

It's not spergy to notice that when it comes to other people's work he promotes MAXIMUM FIDELITY and project crippling realism but when it comes to stuff that rests more directly on his shoulders, the vision of the project, it's all lazy slapped together references and hand waving ww2isms.

Lol if you don't know CIG. Any tank CIG could create will be a hover tank--you'll always be able to see daylight between the treads and the ground. The second a CIG tank did touch the ground it would explode.

But I'm right there with you. Tanks with rocket boosters instead of treads seems like it would be one of the ground breaking ideas that have become Crobber's trademark.

In other words Chris Roberts is a hack who hasn't had an original thought since sometime near the end of the previous millennium.

And I can't take full credit for finding the secret system that linked Earth to Vanduul space. You have to give Jared at least some kudos for leaking the build.
