Star Citizen is going to be the next game with a generational legacy.
After fans will their copies to their children, still waiting for the official release.
I’m sorry, this license is non-transferable. We run a 20% off rebuy special once every fiscal quarter!
its going to be Daikatana II
It’s already a Daikatana and Duke Nukem Forever combined…
Both games released and even the N64 port of Daikatana is more fun on original hardware than Star Citizen ever will be.
I honestly believe SC will also release at some point in somewhat final shape. But that point is still far far away… Until then they’ll be teasing us with more promises and will continue practice of their “development as a service” business.
Is Chris Roberts going to make everyone his bitch?
Well actually he’s doing it right now. And people are happy to pay him for it.
No Man’s Sky has almost every feature that Star Citizen will have/has:
- Frigates
- Walkable ships (via the new corvettes)
- Space stations
- Food/cooking
- Quests and lore
- Planet exploration
- Ship to ship dogfights
Like, by the time SC releases, the game’s features will have been done by multiple companies. I expect people actually buying the game, if it’s ever released, will do so for the memes and not because the game has anything innovative to add to gaming.
It doesn’t have the feature where whales can give the devs $10,000 for a spaceship.
Check mate.
I mean, nothing is stopping a whale from contacting Hello Games to get a bespoke spaceship… 😂
“The team is heads down,” Huckaby said. “We drew a line in the sand when we said 2026. I don’t know if we’re going to make it, I just know that we’re going to do every single thing possible to make it. And part of that is not taking time for the distraction of CitizenCon.”
That means they already know they are not going to make it. Otherwise why say this more than one year before?
The bigger context of that quote is basically that they’re heads down and preparing for crunch. The person who said, “I don’t know if we’re going to make it” also said “but we’re doing everything we can to make it happen” (this is my paraphrase, I don’t know if I got the exact wording)
The bigger, bigger context of the quote is that this game was initially supposed to be released in 2014, and now 2026 is looking unlikely.
And yes, im just talking about squadron 42, the spinoff fps of the even later game that is even farther from release, Star citizen.
The 12 years of release date slippage makes people extra wary about any qualifiers or maybes that the devs add, regardless of context.
I know some of the SC story from knudsens channel, but somehow it never really hit me that they are developing a spin-off of a game that hasnt even released yet
it’s a wandering daughter job
Sure, that’s true. I was a year 1 backer, just after the initial Kickstarter ended, so I guess to me that part of the context kind of spoke for itself. Thanks for highlighting it, I honestly do appreciate it.
Just 2 years, Turkish!
