[Star Citizen News]Chris Roberts announces new Space Sim "Star Citizen"
-
Well I’m amazed. I was certain that this was one of the most negative and cynical communities that I had ever come accross on the net. Almost always quick to judge, vaporware would be the average response to a project such as this in the past, if anyone was actually interested enough to make a response when a new game or project was announced.
So why the sudden change of attitude I wonder? What’s so different this time? Is it love for the man?
-
I got quite a bit of bro love for the fella.
Nah, actually, I agree with many of the ways he’s advertising/marketing this product. He’s attempting to get a grass root movement - getting his backers to donate to his cause early. I think it’s something that we needed in the space sim genre.
I’ve also been impressed by the videos they’ve produced showing great modeling/graphic work already. I’m excited to see what else they’ll show the SC community. Furthermore, I can’t wait to mod the game once that comes available. Actually having ready made modding tools…I can only imagine the possibilities!!
-
It’s the first good news to have happened in years for space sim fans, especially if you care about multiplayer. I think it’s worth getting a bit excited about.
Cynics achieve nothing, so being a cynic is something we should avoid as much as possible.
-
I must say that Chris’s pathos is over 9000 on those vids at RSI, hope he wont loose it after years of development

“Thank you all - Five million dollars! - We’ll be right back”.
If you are cynical…
“Oh, yeah?”
<chortles>He just looks like a very cool feller!</chortles>

5.5 in the next few minutes. That’s an unreal amount of cash!
-
They made it!! with 1 hour and 35 minutes-ish left to go!
-
Heheh - which plane to Venezuela are they catching?
-
They’re taking us all on a trip to the Kingdom of Awesome, and grumps aren’t invited
-
Now they are going to take all and are never to be seen again
-
I hope that crowdfunding campaign have real pledges at RSI, not fake ones.

Why should a well known person be so silly, to make the FBI hunt him?
5M will give him a nice start and at least a year or two of time,
to develop the game (and of easy living).
With that it should also be possible, to get additional cash from a bank.And I am pretty sure, we ll see a piece of software after a while.
The only question is, if we ll like it. But if we do, there will be
a big number of people, who are willing to pay some money for it- which will Mr. Roberts earn much more than 5M.
And than maybe he can sell the new company to M$,
which could provide some minor updates, bringing us
funny things like pay-per-play and in-game-shops taking real $$$.
-
I think what makes me the most excited for this game is its transparency with modding. The fact that they’re going to embrace it and give software for modders…I’m so excited!
-
It would be crazy not to give modding software to the community considering the community made the game possible in the first place.
-
I’m just going to forget about it now and hope it’s a winner in a couple of years time. A recent heart attack has changed my perspective on life ever so slightly, and as a fit and active 36 year old, if it’s made me realise one thing, it’s that you never know what tomorrow will bring, and you’d be a fool to sit around waiting to find out. Enjoy the things that you can do now.
