well if the game is going to be the next 'but can it run crysis' then i won't bother playing it because i won't have the expensive hardware. if a space sim like EVE can look very nice and play max settings using a mediocre graphics card then there is no reason why this game can't do the same.

There's no point in even discussing it until around launch time in 2015. Optimizations are just about the last thing they do. One can always turn down the settings if need be.

Then don't play it. It's not Eve. It's not trying to be Eve. Begrudging a future game for supporting quality improvements beyond what your older hardware can support is rather childish, but you are welcome to your opinion.

Lol what? This is what I'm most confused about the horrible fanboyism this game already has..

It's been in development for 2 years already and all we have to show is a hangar with static ships

show the source.

maybe you should read your sources before making a copy paste from wikipedia.....
and calling people fanboys
:nutkick:

I think people forget this game is crowdfunded not publisher funded.
They reached their funding goal in November of 2012. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cig/star-citizen

and in the kickstarter page it mentions a timeline for alpha release etc.
So far, they are on schedule.

They have kept the community up-to-date with their constant communication.
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link
the link above will take you through the development process and all other com like concept art. etc.

I have sources for my info.

lol it's not even out yet.

this is partially correct, the game is not entirely crowd funded
Chirs and a few other sources pitched in to get it started
at 22 million it will be completely crowd funded
there is no publisher though which is great

Kong, first corps in space !

I am comparing graphics, not gameplay. I know this game isn't trying to be EVE. I am also not begruding the game for being power hungry. I am simply stating that I won't be playing it if it truly requires more than gtx 580s in SLI like the other forum member pointed out. regardless, please don't tell me not to play a game simply because i give an opinion.

but you fools who think this is some super space nerd developer in a basement making this himself need a reality check. This is about as close to a AAA development cycle you can get without being an established name.

Just to be clear this game is being made by Chris Roberts. If you don't know who that is I feel sorry for you.....almost as much as you have to use a 9mm.......but not quite.

Easy Rhino · Sep 3, 2013

mailman, do you plan on playing this?

I sure do. I love Space Flight sims. I would love a new Tie Fighter but Wing Commander is right up there.

Reskin freelancer with 1080p and I'll be happy for months.

Easy Rhino · Sep 3, 2013

hrm, well it will come down to how much time i have and what the tech specs for it are. I guess if the game isn't even on the radar until 2015 I will have more time to plan out a desktop upgrade. also by then, my kids will be a tad older so i can game in the evening.

Divide Overflow · Sep 3, 2013

Sorry, ER. I wasn't attempting to tell you what to do, I was simply agreeing with you that perhaps you shouldn't play the game if it is going to push past Eve's hardware requirements. As you have already noted, however, the game isn't due out for at least another year, so there's plenty of time to save up for a hardware upgrade or two.

well i am looking forward to have more time play in the future and a larger budget. we will see how this games development progresses over the next two years. it may be the perfect game to get back into PC gaming.

If your system specs are up to date, you will have no problems playing the "alpha modules" that are coming out. I could show you some videos with the difference between low settings and very high settings. The difference is really minimal. Most folks most likely won't buy this game until it's released anyways, no biggie.

But yeah, this game will most likely be the next "Crysis". The developer has said it himself that he likes to push the crap out of hardware... and he's done it in the past with his previous games. Also, I'm going to have plenty of ships to loan out, multi-person ships with turrets and things like that. I actually just applied for a job with the company as well.

Ahhzz · Sep 3, 2013

I remember some video of him somewhere talking about actually using the power of the PC to play an excellent game, instead of having to dumb it down for the consoles. And MM, is that Stryper as your Avatar?

As an added bonus I'm pretty sure nVIDIA and ATI will both their next line of GPUs out by the time the game is released so push away CIG :rockout:

erocker · Sep 3, 2013

I just heard Chris Roberts mentioning that AMD will have new cards this fall. He also talks about pushing the limits of PC's. There's so many damn video's I can't find the exact one atm...

Seriously, that is an option.

Check out this video of the Constellation ship. The guy goes through a lot of it, some of its animations and stuff like that. Star Citizen - Chris Roberts shows off the RSI Con...

Mindweaver · Sep 3, 2013

Damn it erocker you make me want this game more and more!.. lol But sadly, I'll have to wait until probably after Christmas. I'll be interested in joining a crew with a ship, because I suck as a pilot.. lol but I'm a hell of a gunner/repair man! hehehe

those were the days, man. no kids, i worked part time and was finishing grad school. i could stay up late and game and not have to worry about responsibilities.

i do look forward though to when my kids are old enough to start gaming. then we will form our own little group and start knifing everyone online! :roll:
