Are you on drugs?
It rendered almost instantly and I'm a peasant on 8meg.
I hope this game makes it.
It doesn't really matter how long it took to render, but the game looks amazing. Gonna buy alpha/beta access immediately.
[i]edit:[/i] render not load, derp.
I remember when loading a single 480x320 image took 4 minutes, and printing it took another 6 while the black and white printer screamed loudly, one small line at a time.
And I still get pissed when it takes more than 4 seconds to load an entire website
Anyway, if they can manage to bring the scale to that of say, Freelancer, or even X3 Reunion/Terran Conflict in sector sizes, I'll be interested
I don't mean how fast it loaded. I mean how fast it renders. Scroll up and down.
It took me a while for it to render on my pc.
Feels like 2004.

its an absolutely terrible website

You're right, my bad, but I was actually referring to Canary's post.
[i]edit:[/i] I see what you mean, I didn't notice at first!
I just got the "Make Mine a Double" version.
Good. I thought they shot themselves in the foot by not using it.

Feels like I'm running on a phone or something. That's amazing.
Great idea, but i doubt it will go far.
[QUOTE=Remscar;38121800]Great idea, but i doubt it will go far.[/QUOTE]Kickstarter's already got 320k out of the 500k they asked for, the real crowdfunder on their website already got 1200k out of the 2000k they need, when Kickstarter reaches 500k it will get added to the official one, Kickstarter's only been at it for 3 or so days, the official one has been at it for 11. I'd say they have a fair chance.
Mike is that you?!

I'm skeptical about all these kick ass awesome sounding Kickstarter games. Its all a load of talk, and talk is cheap. It all seems to come from these newly formed companies that have some talented people who were involved with developing some really great games in the past but have never really released anything under their new company. On top of that they make all kinds of promises and take every popular suggestion no matter how massive or complex and say it will be implemented (I'm looking at you [i]Planetary Annihilation[/i]). To finish it all off there is basically no risk on the developer end if it doesn't work out since they already have the money.
I hope these massively hyped Kickstarter-funded developers churn out some great games, I really do. But I can't help but feel that with every Kickstarter project the fans are just being told what they want to hear.
this game looks awesome

Well to be fair this is Chris 'motherfucking Wing Commander and Freelancer' Roberts and he's got a load of progress already.
And as RichyZ said some decent-profile games that were kickstarted have come through just fine.
You do get your shady characters on kickstarter, but that doesn't reflect on everyone. Just gotta be careful.

I understand where you are coming from, but this is Chris fucking Roberts, creator of Freelancer and Wing Commander, if you haven't played either of those, play em, it will show you this game will be made if they get the funding they need.

Have you even seen what they've done?
Truly this indie kickstarter P2W instanced MMO will save PC gaming.

You need to fuck off, stop spreading lies and shit in Star Citizen threads.
So it doesnt have microtransactions?
It's not a very instanced MMO?
Are you seriously claiming it's not a kickstarter game?
Are you implying that this [I]isn't[/I] being hailed as the saviour of pc gaming?
This was so close to being good but the fact is it's terribad.

You never said it has microtransactions, you said it was pay to win which is a lie.
It isn't an MMO.
It is a crowd funded game, you know I wasn't saying that was a lie.
It isn't hailed as the saviour of PC gaming, it is being hailed as the return of high quality Space Sims from the creator of the genre.
Please stop posting.
Never.
It's pay2win, you whip out your credit card to get space-cash which you can use to buy better stuff which kills people better.
There aren't enough boxes in the world for you.
I'll keep all the money that I didn't spend on this trainwreck in them.

Yes, I can't even put a number on the amount of hours I poured into Freelancer and Star Citizen looks and sounds ridiculously amazing. But it almost sounds too good to be true, its very ambitious. I don't doubt the abilities of the developer and Freelancer on steroids sounds like a winner to me, but I can't help wonder if everything they promise will be in the final release or if some things will get cut due to technical limitations. Funding the production of something as delicate as a game before you even really know what its actually going to be like just seems.. iffy to me.
Not trying to sound overly critical or anything, what I've seen looks excellent. Something about the funding model just rubs me the wrong way.

Ah I understand.
I thought, you thought this only was a concept like Planetary Annihilation. I don't know though, they've stated a possible release in 2014, which seems quite realistic. And considering that they're using CryEngine a considerable amount of work is already done for them.
But yeah, who knows what could happen during these two years. If everything shits itself we still have X Rebirth :v:
