Yeah, but will you ever be able to play it?
I think it's the worst £40 I've ever spent on a game.
It's a AAA title with the latest generation CryEngine. It's been in development for less than four years. GTA V was in development for longer than that.
I think the difference is that when rockstar make a game they plan out in advance whats going to be available, then work on it giving customers access to previews and beta's when its 6 months out form release.
With Star Citizen they've given access pretty much as soon as they had a working environment for the player to spawn into, and have built most of the game from there with new content being touted a lot. I'm not saying its a better or worse way to present the game but I think its a little underwhelming at this point...not to say it will be by the time I play it again.
Its one of those things I've put money into, and I wont look again until it gets to at least beta stage, maybe even launch...I do tend to put myself off games if I play the beta's, so I'll most likely wait.
Its looks pretty though...I'm still looking forward to playing it.
After watching the video it looks fantastic but when are we going to actually be able to play that version?
The big difference being the funding of the games. A crowdfunded game needs a different kind of transparency.
No dates have been set, but the stand-alone campaign part (Squadron 42) will probably take another year. The persistent MMO, longer
I pledged back in 2012 ($60 package), but I would probably wait until the game is released if I were you. Some people thinks it's a big scam because of all the delays and that it never will be released. I'm not one of them though
If you're a backer, yes, you can download and play an alpha version.
