No mans sky: nerd edition

guess i missed the footage, its just chris talking now.

It was clunky as hell lol,

The livestream is finished . I'll upload youtube videos as soon as they are available .

Dumb idea. There's no way they can compete with the best FPS games on the market and there's not exactly a shortage of them. They should just focus on improving what's unique about their own game instead.

Youtube videos added .

video quality is shit even by youtube standards

Hermits is easy impressed, watched little on first video...they show hangar with dropship and crowd go "ooooooooooooooooh "..and i think eeeeh ok should i be impressed now?

Looks cool, but I like Elite Dangerous better.

No more than the people going gaga over Drakes face in the sand at E3...

More or less of what @Cloud_imperium has already posted. :P

So what's the polygon count? I'm sure cows are dying to know that.

480p.

GOAT don't care what anyone else says

Gross.

Right now Star Citizen pushes up to 30 million polygons and character models are over 100,000 .

Looks great!

This game is really going to be a lot of fun, happy to see their progression.

damn awesome

How do you know there is no way they can compete? Have you played the final version of the product?

Illfonic is doing it? Hope they don't screw it up like Nexuiz, also weren't they working on a sandbox MMO?

Despite primarily being a Space Sim , Star Citizen's FPS is doing what other FPS games haven't done before. The FPS looks really good despite being in early stages . They'll improve it further until it becomes ready to be released , then it'll be improved further after that as well .

CIG also released Arena Commander update 0.9.2 today and it comes with controls improvements as well as further improvements to the graphics . Everything is finally coming together . This game is going to be epic !

Pretty much. While the video presentation wasn't the greatest quality, I can tell that Illfonic has put in a ton of work to really step up the genre to the next level and it amazes me how people can't recognize the subtle changes they have made and what they will do to FPS games in the future.

Personally, the "module" I'm looking forward most to playing is this one, but in the PU I doubt I won't be doing a little of everything all the time. Though, as out crew's Idris pilot, I doubt I'll be spending much time fending off boarding parties, lol.

I honestly cringe when people communicate with quasi-militaristic language during an online FPS match. It sounds so fucking stupid.

Looks incredible especially since its like the first iteration. I cant imagine how amazing it will be in a few month, just look at how DFM/Arena Commander was and what its like now. Im really glad they took a more sim like approach to the FPS side of things too. The last thing Star Citizen needs to be is another space COD.

The peasant butthurt is real.

I dread to think how many generations of my character's family I'll go through in the first week of the PU going live. Character perma-death will be brutal to get used to.

I have yet to buy a bundle... Anyone know what's the best bang for your buck bundle that's in a reasonable price range?

Holy shit. I was expecting just some standart FPS mechanic, but that looks awesome. I wasn't expecting such a focus on realism with this.

The disconnected camera from the gun, the sim like hip firing, the breath on the helmet. Seriously, i wasn't expecting something so advanced for pre-alpha.

Honestly, this more slow paced, realistic style of shooting fits the game much more, and keeps the FPS portion from being the main focus on gameplay, instead of the spaceships.

Also, this shit with Oculus would be amazing. I dont' care about VR, sicne it mainly works for first person view, but SC is looking like the game that seriously needs it. I might have to buy an Oculus after all

Not only that but I also heard that magazines in the game won't magically fill. There will only be amount of bullets in them that were left by your enemies before dying and there will be vehicular action as well. And Squadron 42 Chapter One alone is over 10 hours long (Chris said 15-20 hours long according to Erin).

...boarding ships and fighting inside them without separate cells isn't unique? News to me...

Not a fan of that view bobbing and how erratic the crosshair is. It just looked stiff not at all realistic.

I was hoping this was going to be more like CS seeing how they said that was one of their biggest inspirations.

I have yet to see anything that actually looks fun. Yes it looks amazing, so did Crysis 2 and Unreal 2. Neither of which I enjoyed.

Thread fully updated .

LOL how shitty was that shooting? It might even be clunkier than Killzone's garbage gun fights.

LOL this is what hermits have been praying to?

HAHA fucking lame.

@ps4hasnogames: Shut the **** up.

God there was never a time that I would ever say that to someone. But you are utter shit.

My god. It looks awesome. Have you seen it that zero gravity gameplay ?

Hentai.

It's just a pre-Alpha you jelly dumbsh*t.

Not sure about 'best bang for your buck' package. You'll only get Beta access with any new pledge but you can get dog fight access for $5. I don't know if that will get you FPS alpha access, Planet side/Social alpha access and PU alpha access.

The Aurora MR for $40 will get you everything, it's an all rounder starter ship. It's not bad but someone with equal skill in a 300i or Hornet will chew you up.

The 300i for $65 is a better ship and the 350R variant is the fastest single seat 'fighter' in the game at the moment. Good ship with good handling and a healthy armament.

My favourite of the small ships is the Gladius though it's not flyable at the moment. It's also a light fighter and not as versatile as the other two mentioned, it's also $105

The Avenger is looking good at $75 but it's never gelled with me tbh.

Basically you can have it all for $40 plus $5 for the dog fight alpha access.

the guy that mad nexiuz are making this? lol

Ya was talking with my bud. Might go with the 65$ 300i bundle.

they also mentioned other games like rainbow six and killzone as games that inspired them. they're going for a much more slower pace game while in CS your team can be wiped in 30 seconds

I don't see the appeal of attaching another type of game to this spaceship simulator. Especially if this FPS portion of the game turns out to be mediocre.

but if turns out amazing it would be just another great element in a space sim. The idea of being boarded by pirates and having to fight them inside your ship is very unique for the genre

permadeath this is not for casuals SMH

this is concept/pre-alpha/first build for the FPS mode...
