WOW. Just, WOW.

If you can't innately see it, you're delusional. I suspect I could click on your ID and see your posting history and it will be negative about CIG.

Please hold...

Yep, I called that 100%.

quote:

The whole is the sum of the parts. This part looks fantastic. That is notable. On the right monitor, at the right resolution, it's stunning; "Wow" isn't actually strong enough language.

Will they get the gameplay where it needs to be? Perhaps, perhaps not. But if they did and this piece looked like poo poo .. it'd just be another CoD or BF game, which don't look anywhere near as good as this.

quote:

I think it's a case of either you see it and say "wow", or you don't. I don't think there is a wrong answer; the only thing I can do is explain why it makes me say "wow". There are many reasons, but these are the primary ones:

1. As someone who's been gaming since PC gaming became a thing (think Commodore 64, the era of sprites and very low resolutions), I've been there for every conversation of "better graphics doesn't make a game good", and while that's true, it's only true in a given era; the real oldies just don't hold up today, because the aggregate quality and related immersion has been lifted up across all games over time. That will continue, ad infinitum.
   
2. I've played every shooter, every 1st person adventure, RPG, and game related to the type of gameplay SC offers, and every game pushing the boundaries of graphical fidelity, so I have that considerable reference to bring to my assessment.

With these two things in mind, I know (from playing SC several hours a day, for a very long time) that the assets in this intro video are clearly real and from the engine. So, I know they are the visuals we'll get in ToW. And, they are far above and beyond anything any other game is doing right now. No other game offering this type of content comes close to the graphical fidelity on offer here. SC will (already has, really) largely be responsible for the "lifting of the graphical bar" for this era of computer gaming, as this early level of alpha represents the worst the graphics will look across the development of this game. Consider that for just a moment.

With that context, background and consideration, I say again: "WOW!"

this poo poo reminds me of an oregon militia group that occasionally attended our drill weekends. I think they weren't a hardcore militia group like you get in Montana or Wyoming, but some kind of like civil action force for disasters.

But they were really noticeable because they were old 1990s era camo patterns / bdus, and it seemed like they all gave themselves their own rank. So everyone involved was like a light Colonel or a general or a Sergeant first class, but surprisingly no privates or specialists.

this poo poo seems like the same thing where everyone involved just wants to have a cool title and because they're all uncreative jackasses they want to be generals. Also shouldn't they be like admirals?

So uh, congrats to CIG for having a team that can do 3D snippets?

Does Star Citizen even have a story or playable game yet or is it still like some kind of sandbox death simulator

I don't get the love for the "story" they have. I don't even really know much about it because it's not interesting. It seems more of an afterthought despite people loving it so much they come up with rape slaves.

I mean, those screenshots look fine, I guess. No better or worse than the graphics of any other large studio game that's come out in the last few years though. The graphics look pretty average but that isn't even the main thing to criticize SC about. In fact it's probably one of its better attributes.

Im working on a series and need people! think Star Trek Next Generations but in our Verse and with stories that tie in with in game events and lore. more info below posted:

So ill get straight to it, im working on a youtube series for star citizen and i need actors, as well as voice actors. its a plus if you have some cool ships but they are not necessary. it will be a series produced and edited by me. it will be HEAVELY inspired by Star Trek Next Generations with a custom music track made specially for it. you will receive credits in every episode you appear in but im not making any money so i cant pay you.

we will be following the lives of the crew on the "U.E.E.S. Texas" (its a carrack) {also im open to suggestions on the name}. episodes will be roughly 10-15 minutes but depending on whats in them they might be longer. so far i have the "Story" written for the first 2-3 episodes and im in need of characters so i can start writing dialogue as well as writers to help me make this series interesting.

for this project i will need LOTS of different positions filled. Those include all the positions on the ship plus a couple more like recurring bad guys, good guys, and even other UEE Crews. as well as other various things like background actors. point is, if you want to help with it im sure i can find a place for you! you dont even need to have a speaking role if you dont want it. that being said the only people allowed speaking roles will be ones will decent microphones so we can maintain a certain level of quality.

I love interesting characters, and if you can intertwine some star citizen lore with your characters backstory thats a serous plus. so far we have a couple positions already filled and those include

Chief security officer (hes a mute that commands with hand signs)

Chief Medical officer (Hails from Terra and has a extensive backstory that ties in with various In universe events.)

Captain of the ship (me)

onboard small ship and vehicle mechanic

engineer

Positions on the crew are first come first serve and this will be a reoccurring series so if you want out at any time we can kill your character and replace them with someone else. some of the positions we still need filled are

On board Security officers ( 2 needed )

Main Carrack Pilot ( we need 2 so they can switch at times but main pilot/bridge crew spot is still open)

Chief science officer

navigations officer

3 turret gunners ( will mainly be in the turret but will show up on board in the mess or whatever at times )

engineers ( 2 or 3 more needed )

keep in mind you can have more than 1 role if you want to and not all these roles are necessary to fill before we can start filming. If you dont see a role there that you think might work on a navy spaceship feel free to request it! if you are still reading this that must mean you're interested so ill go ahead and say

If you want to help with this project please add me on discord and send me a message with your proposed character with a rank, position on crew, and backstory ( aka age, planet of origin, and maybe something else interesting) keep in mind the more you give me to work with the more i can write for your characters. i have a discord set up with a channel dedicated to planning this project and i will invite you so you can see what the rest of the crews backstories are and post your own. PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME ON REDDIT I WILL NOT SEE IT

if you are still reading that must mean you are SUPER Interested so here is the YouTube channel this project will be going up on ( https://www.youtube.com/counterlink ) its my Yt.

If you are still reading this then you must be SUPER DUPER interested in this project! so here is the prologue that will be read by me in the opening of the first episode


This is the Stanton system.

Although technically Discovered by Toshi Aaron in 2903 he was not the first in the system or even the first to settle it. As a matter of fact before Toshi even knew of the system smugglers and other settlers and prospectors had already set up in the system. but unfortunately for them when Toshi sold the jump point to the UEE, they lost any chance they had of living there in peace as that land now belonged to someone else.

4 Massive planets located entirely inside the star's habitable zone, terraformed solely for their resources. although they technically fall under UEE control they were sold off to corporations to the highest bidder in order to fund project archangel.

an attempt in itself by the UEE to move away from the sinful act of terraforming in favor of creating a planet from scratch which has sucked up all UEE funding leading to the highest rise in crime and piracy this sector has ever seen.

Partially to blame are the lowest bid contractors patrolling most of the shipping lanes. they put the aUEC first and refuse to take action before payment is discussed. This often leads to success for the pirates and in the cases where they do get involved they often end up losing since they are under trained and under equipped. these backwater systems labeled by the UEE as “Low Priority” systems. This means that the UEE security patrolling this sector are often themselves under staffed. This is where we find ourselves today, aboard the U.E.E Texas


You are still reading? okay well here is the story for the first (mini arc) it will be 2-3 episodes long and will be part of a over arching story that will all tie together in the end. that being said i am far from perfect and would love more minds on this! if you want to help me write that would be awesome!


Starting on a carrack, we would slowly introduce different members of the crew as we get to them. following a message around that's being gossiped about on the ship. maybe include some overlayed information like made up backstories and our age and maybe years of service that kind of stuff. follow the message from the cargo deck up to the mess haul, then the mechanics working on a small ship in the hanger, then some of the bridge crew. and finally the message is being explained on the bridge to the rest of the bridge crew when the captain walks in. the message, (workshoping this rn so work with me) is a terrorist attack has happened on micro tech. the Xeno Threat are responsible for it, they have used explosives to enter a vault and steal an experimental mobiglass. the captain confirms the rumor and expands further on it; apparently the info that lead the xeno threat to the vault in the first place came from some back ally info broker in area 18, and now its our job to find the info broker responsible and get him to lead us to the xeno threat then report our findings to UEE Station Jericho. cue us going to area 18, get a little character development in during the trip there. find the information we need then randevu at Jericho station. on the landing pad we get into a fight with "Red Wing'' squadron , we then find out they are attaching "Red Wing'' Fighter squad to our carrack and that we will be responsible for dispatching the xeno threat that made the attack and collecting the experimental mobiglass or destroying it if we cant ensure we can collect it. head to microtech, set up an ambush and make sure right before we spring the trap we get a cool star wars "Red wing call in, Red 1 standing by, red 2 standing by ect" scene in. then we spring the trap and encounter an unanticipated problem, a xeno threat backup squad. But we work as a team to overcome it and there is no time to collect the mobiglass, so we fire on the ship when we get the chance to ensure it is destroyed. We end up finding mutual respect with the red wing squadron. then after the ambush we cut to a mysterious man collecting the Mobiglass from the crash sight during the fight that happened after the ambush. He then walks off screen shortly after we see the ship explode. thats all i got rn but im sure its like 3-4 episodes worth


and with all that said i thank you if you have reached this far and hope to hear what interesting characters you come up with!
