Star Citizen is Chris Roberts' new game. Chris Roberts is the guy behind Wing Commander and Starlancer. He left years before Freelancer came out so don't blame that shit on him. It's totally self-published and it's doing the whole crowdfunding thing, but he's skipping Kickstarter. He'll just ask for money straight up from people. He also has normal investors.
The game is running on a modified version of the CryEngine. You'll fly around in spaceships shooting space laser at space aliens in space. There's a persistent multiplayer universe that generates instanced battles for 60-100 players, and there's also an offline mode if you want to play single player or coop. If you want to play in the persistent universe though, you can be an explorer or maybe a trader and stuff like that. You can buy a big ship with turrets and friends can man the turrets. For example:
The universe is inspired by Ancient Rome and the single player campaign is inspired by the fall of Ancient Rome. The game is called Star Citizen because "citizenship" is going to be an important characteristic: you can choose to be a citizen of the empire if you want, or you can be a pirate or whatever. One way to earn citizenship is to join the military; another is to buy it.
The game will be open to modding, and it will let you run your own private servers (like Freelancer, actually). He wants to keep constantly updating the game, though (he sees it as closer to a TV series, with a constant series of updates, rather than a movie). And sometimes they won't tell players when they add new content, like a new star system, which means that a player can be flying around, scout the new star system, and then sell the information in their nav system to one of the big corporations. Then the star system is named after you. KICKASS.

The single player campaign is called "Squadron 42" and it will basically be like Wing Commander, except with some coop.The persistent universe, Roberts tells me, will feature instanced combat scenarios with 60 to 100 players. It will also have a fully simulated economy, and regular updates to add content and permanently change the spacescape. Additionally, players will influence the universe with a ship and item marketplace similar to that in Team Fortress 2, as well as with in-game actions.

The setting is not inspired by ancient Rome, it's inspired by the fall of the Roman Empire
The fall of the Roman Empire took centuries
The triple-breasted whore from Eroticon 6?
I don't believe she exists.

sadly the stupid christmas forum preventing me from posting this when they emailed that out. When that email came in I just couldn't fucking believe it.
I still can't.
what a shit show this game is right now in my opinion. I hope everybody is enjoying their bullshit mediocre FPS game that got bolted on to the thing I actually backed in kickstarter.
???
It took two engineers 2 days to accomplish according to Roberts. They were basically already on the same version of Cryengine. They lost none of their customized solutions, either.
The only thing this really changes is now they have direct, in-engine access to Amazon servers. They also aren't as tied to Crytek, who seem to be teetering on the edge as a company.
i literally did not know that
whatever, star marine is still stupid and I'm mad about it!
I knew those click bait headlines were going to be problematic the moment I saw the first one.
We are the monsters under our beds.
TIL Crytek hasn't made a Far Cry game since the first one. Jesus. Hope their engine licensing deals are solid...
they made the 3 crysis games....
then they made that super bad homefront game and now the company is apparently fucked
Yeah my facebook feed is full of clickbait/fakenews crap about this move. To be fair though, I had no idea what Lumberyard was, the email they sent out made it sound like it was just a cloud platform that took over for a lot of the infrastructure/datacenter issues. I had no idea it was an engine until all the clickbait articles showed up with the OMG! Star Citizen changed engines folks...click now and feed our ad revenue.
Fake news isn't just for politics kids. It's everywhere.

Well now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Been playing a bunch of Titanfall 2 which has bombdiggity movement and gunplay, so that'll be a good bar to measure it by.

Got eaten alive by the first pirates I met, my attempts to get some training in Pirate Swarm didn't fare much better.
I'm gonna have to relearn dogfighting in the new meta it seems.
In his defense it is normally a really bad sign for devs to swap engines late in development. Can't think of many that didn't turn out to be sinkers.
I preface this by saying I am extremely new to the game. This week new, in fact. My friends and I heard from some other friends that the game is further along than we thought so we decided to back now so we could fuck around in large multicrew ships.
With that said. This game is like, pre-alpha. I would imagination it's not late in development at all. All they really have for us is a semi-persistent playable demo. Again, I'm new to this party but I don't think the timeline is a cause for concern.
Please shoot me a PM if you add me so I know to add you back.

You have to log into RSI first.
I am hoping I can get into a server with someone who has a Caterpillar, I'd love to check that thing out.
