First video is the "trailer". Second is live feed gameplay.

Obviously, still very early, but CIG has shown that full planetary generation is possible. And in case you're wondering, that seems to be Nyx, which contains a base where npcs, shops, etc will exist, like Arccorp.

Here you can see Nyx's reveal video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2YMlnn4Ngk

Not only is full planding possible, but there'll actually be places with people and shit down on them.

CIG does it again. Glorious.

I'm glad I decided to back this game. The full experience can't come soon enough.

Dammit man you beat me by a minute.

Guys, this shit might be possible now.

Is this from interstellar.

@Gamerno6666: No, but certainly influenced by.

Amazing how they are the capable of generating a barren rock planet. Real technological breakthrough.

Well, shit on me.

Man it keeps getting better and better !

well...butter me up and call me biscuit

Holly shit.

I'd go surfing with my ship

Just upgraded by Avenger Stalker to a 325A just because. This game just keeps getting better and better.

stalker master race

My Avenger might need to be upgraded then...I'd have to check it out when I get back home...can't wait to play

One of the planets in SC... But obviously it's inspired by the scene in interstellar.

I still haven't seen any fun actual gameplay.

Pew pew pew

Zzzzzzzz

Wasn't expecting CIG to be this far along in space - planet transitions and procedual generated planets. They're probably surprised themself lol. Well done CIG, well done.

Did they mention when we'll be able to do this in the game? I wasn't home to watch the stream.

I've been keeping up with my vow to not pre-order or buy a game until it launched a few months in + patches but Star Citizen is definitely shaping out to be a very strong candidate to make me break that.

I'm sorely tempted to back this game now.

But I think Space Engineers had them beat with the Space to Planet transition though...but yeah, SC definitely have a bigger scope.

Sweet Lord.

I used to think the same till I got the 325A today. Wow, what a beast the Origin 325A is, the Omnisky cannons just tear through shields and armor, and it looks sexy as hell.....

Wow, i didn't expect them to have this ready nearly as early as they did. And it looks like it works great.

This looks pretty cool but I think I personally still prefer Frontier's method of actually getting the working game out and adding on, rather than adding more and more pre alpha stuff and still not having a working game that can play without crashing in 15 minutes.

Frontier got a lot of due criticism for releasing a half finished game, but you can actually see working playing progress, which I still havent seen in SC.

Horizons launched and it didnt surprise me that GS didnt even talk about it. But it has most of the landing stuff shown in this video. Granted it doesnt have fps gameplay or a single player campaign, but they have actually upped a lot of the rpg elements in the game with player controlled factions and community events that effect the future course of the game by player input which is pretty cool.

Whats really going to sell me on SC is the economic system which so far looks awesome on paper.

The ED is currently ramping up for the a return of the Thargoids which I've had a lot of fun participating in. Theres also hints that there are multiple other alien civilizations towards the center of the galaxy. (Just one rank away from my Corvette. :P)

The addition of multicrew ships and player avatars is coming (the files are already in the game) in upcoming Horizons season 2 modules coming next year.

Graphically SC looks a bit better but ED isnt really a slouch graphically either, especially with the Horizons planetary graphical update.

All in all its a good time for space games and when SC drops I'll support it.

@oflow: Elite Dangerous had crashing issues even when it was released. The xbox one version was especially buggy during launch. Star Citizen has a lot more technology being develop for it than Elite ever did so its going to take more time. There not trying to release a half ass game and no reasonable person would expect them to be able to release a game like this in three years.

People are getting on about how CIG offering microtransaction for ships when they can all be bought in game without having to pay any real money yet Elite Dangerous are charging 60 dollars for these adds on when you can get all the content for less than 60 dollars in SC,

@quadknight

Yeah, but....cryostasis chambers!:

Oh yea, it's a great time to be a gamer for space nerds like us. I've been in Horizons since the beta and it's just amazing what they are able to do in ED. It's so nice to be able to alternate between SC and ED and enjoy both of them for their strengths. I can't wait for when all the bugs are ironed out of SC next year so that we can all enjoy the persistent universe.

Elite Dangerous doesn't even have atmospheric entry for the planets all of it is pretty much airless planets. They are going add ones with atmosphere maybe next year but you have to pay for all these add on while SC you can get all of the content for 45 dollar.

I'll probably get an Aurora for that when the PTU becomes less glitchy. For now in Arena Commander 325A is kickass :P.

Yes its very nice to enjoy both. I can pop into ED and get shit done over a MASSIVE galaxy. Plenty of combat or smuggling runs, etc. SC is great to look at and the potential is gigantic, but glitching through my spaceship (mustang alpha) nonstop and random crashing, gets a bit tiring.

Don't get too hyped guys, Star Citizen could end up being the next Spore.

Considering its not being dictated by a publisher there a higher chance they can actually pull it off without having to rush development. People are actually testing the game before release for feedback.

This game is ridiculous.

why?

because they're trying to achieve too much

Too much of what? The game is coming a long just fine with three years of development from a studio that started with 60 people.

Pushing game boundaries should never be considered "too much".

We will see but as of now this reminds me of Spore.

CIG has shown us a lot of the stuff they said will be in the game. What was Spores suppose to be anyways? SC is suppose to be a space sim at its core yet I see exact that it certainly doesn't have any tacked on stuff on that department. Everything else a big plus.

Here's the extended version of the video:

Really Spores looked anything like this I remember you could navigate tiny ships in the galaxy map but nothing this scale on depth.

Yep definitely like Spores wait wasn't it mostly controlling tiny ships in a world map

Yeah, I expected this to be part of expansion. Chris said we can expect it in 2016.

@oflow: Yea charge 40 bucks to explore giant asteroids than there going to charge again when they add planets that do have atmosphere. There charging you for stuff that should have been on release. I rather wait for a full game not pay piece by piece.

@robokill: A bit older build...

@TheFadeForever: where can you buy it for $45?
