Star Citizen takes jabs at NMS literally with sandworms

I enjoyed every moment of it too bad they had to hold back SQ42.

There's a sticky

It's almost like a 60 dollar game delivers more content than a 10 dollar indie game being sold for 60 dollars.

I'll be probably 40 before this game comes out lol (10+ years)

That worm looks awesome

Same here.

NMS didn't invent sandworms, you know.

I'm out of the loop. How or why is that a jab at nms?

@Cloud_imperium: sadden about Sq42 but we got something but we need better PR

Looks kinda unfinished and scripted but cool if they get it working with AI.

@Chutebox: lol

I dont get it, what exactly does this have to do with NMS?

If anything this is more an awesome tribute to Dune.

Recently a lot of haters, fail wishers and doubters have been comparing Star Citizen to NMS. Desert and ice planets were, at one point, a hyped feature in NMS. Planet eco systems were supposed to be different depending on the distance to the sun. Hello games showed screen shots of a desert planet with giant Dune type worms.

C.I.G. could just have shown a ship land on an asteroid, something that has been possible in Star Citizen since the alpha started but I guess that's not as impressive.

Spot on. This made me remember Dune having just finished reading it last August.

But if it's being sold for $60, it's not a $10 game. Stop making excuses. The amount of content in NMS isn't even the issue with the game.

Hey, I'm serious asshole! I really don't know why haha

@Chutebox: heyI resemble that insult!!

The missing content is

OP should just change video to this:

There was a desert planet that was suppose to be in NMS with worms

Looks amazing, as usual.

This is still a Engine showcase rather than proper gameplay footage.

It is a ten dollar game, and anyone who has any value of money can tell so.

Just like Star Wars Battlefront was never a 60 dollar game.

Now they only need sandpeople riding these worms.

In one of the pre-release videos of NMS, the devs showed a sand planet with sand worms.

However, neither sand planets nor sand worms were part of the final game. Just one of the many things NMS advertised and failed to deliver.

60fps version. No commentary.

When you said literally, I thought you meant literally.

That wasn't a jab at NMS. It looks like they were deadly serious about a giant sandworm in Star Citizen.

Not a jab, more an omen that Star Citizen is going to fail to deliver lol.

At least NMS was actually released....

With missing content and just plan misleading demos and SC has been in development less than NMS even including time with early prototype when they had less than 10 people. 3.0 will release later on with content we seen in the past month.

At this moment, any space sim/survival game that remotely looks promising is a jab at NMS, thats how bad the public perception is of that game.

As crappy as their presentation was they probably need to dial back their other developer clowning.

And my point still stands...

@scatteh316: you can still play sc which is more entertaining than NMS with your friends as well

@so_hai: nice :-)
