Star Citizen's looking pretty unimpressive since the new Next gen exclusives have been revealed.

Sorry Hermits. You're gonna need a $4000 rig to play this game and thats only because it's going to be horribly optimized.

This is trollbait right? Or are you that ignorant?

I can imagine this game will take far more power than whats actually physically required of GPU's to run this game. Do you disagree?

Due to the fact that I can play a completely unoptimized version of the game on my GTX 780, I'm going to disagree heavily. I run it at high settings at 2560x1440 at about 40 FPS despite the completely unoptimized state the game is currently in.

What's the spread in quality between high and maxed out?

Some distant LODing and some reflective surfaces. They are the CryEngine default settings, they have not been optimized at all. There is very little LODing going on and a lot of unnecessary detail being rendered. Lots of optimization work to go yet.

Except visually there is nothing special about the game. It reminds me when Cevat from Crytek was blabbering about how Cryisis couldn't run on consoles and years later he was talking about how awesome it was on consoles. This is the best way to sell a game to PC gamers so at least he knows how gullible they are.

Said the guy who said AC Unity was a amazing looking game. BTW it doesn't look as good as Star Citizen.

Crysis on console was made with a different engine with the second Crysis being much smaller in levels. They were not the same as the pc version. Comparing developers of Crysis to those from CIG yea wonder how its going for Crytek right now.

Well I just broke down and bought an Avenger and am downloading the early access stuff now. I've been looking for something to challenge the new cards.

Did you buy the game package or just the ship?

I dont think any PC gamer ever doubted this.

Giving this assurance to reinforce a popular PC gaming opinion is just a silly PR stunt.

And so did many who were extremely impress with seeing Star Citizen what's your point. Unless your going to pretend as if people aren't talking about the game because many are.

I seen far more people praise SC graphics than AC Unity.

Unless this game is released in 2020 I don't believe them. If the consoles can't handle this games "massive galaxies" then the majority of pcs wont be able to handle it either. Or they are using this as a marketing stunt to drive up PC sales because PC gamers would love an exclusive game that "can't" be done on consoles. Do you all remember when Crysis "couldn't be done on consoles"? How'd that turn out? Granted it lost a ton of visual fidelity the game was accomplished on 256mb of ram and 256mb of vram.

They are targeting a certain audience not someone that casually plays something like the sims and like you said it was downgraded they had to make a different engine for the game not the same as the pc version.

On System wars maybe. Nobody says it looks far beyond anything on next gen consoles because it doesnt. Its just standard hyperbole.

So thsi game will only run on very high end system, and not pc spec comparable to next gen console? This cuts at least 90% of market, then cutting more of piracy and people who wait for sale to buy game. Aiming for very small consumer segment if this is the case.

I guess this is ok when raising so much money already, but a lot of donor will not be able to run this game and disappointed... I think game look very good however and I hope it is good and strong community.

What sales? People have already bought their access to the game, and then some.

The average backer has pledged $96.50 USD so far.

Apparently PC gamers are willing to pay well over retail MSRP for something they really, really want.

After release of game, often retailer discount price to entice more buyer. Do you need other simple concept explain to you?

OK dude if you insist just like how your claim AC Unity was somehow on par or better looking I'm sure people in SW had a laugh not as bad as the guy who claim COD Advanced somehow looked better.

Where are all the games with the sheer scale and graphics of SC on next gen console?

AC unity is showing crowds with 100s of people on the streets in massive citys. Firs of all I realize most AC's have just rehashed the same last gen engine but that is simply not the case with AC unity it looked outstanding. As far as massive games. The Witcher 3 is huge and will be done on consoles with no load times. Its even larger then Skyrim. You have Infamous SS which rendered the entire city of Seattle with very impressive detal. So all this BS about scale is just that. Both consoles have plenty of Ram to render large scale enviorments at high quality. I realize open world games will probalby not look like The Order 1886 or Uncharted but none the less they are still doing massive world games with impressive visuals.

The diffrence is back in 2006 when we saw Crysis running on beastly PC's it looked like something that was far ahead of consoles. Star Citizen simply doesnt have that look. Not even close. It would be nice if the guy actually made a game for a console before he talks about its capablitiles.

I understand that they are targeting a gaming audience on PC's, but if it "can't" run at all on consoles than one would think that the majority of systems not running a Titan or equivalent shouldn't even bother trying this game. That being said if most gaming computers GTX 750(equivalent) and up can run this game at least at low then this game can in fact run on consoles. By run I am not saying that it needs to be 1080p 60 fps with all the bells and whistles. Regardless anyone that has any business sense understands that all they are doing is marketing. I'm a PC gamer myself and look forward to seeing how this turns out, but saying it "couldn't" run on a console is pure PR BS.

@AM-Gamer:

We know nothing about how exactly big these places are in AC Unity since AC game generally never were that massively large and SC is far larger than skyrim or witcher also not as good graphically either compared to SC. ISS isn't even that big far smaller than Witcher 3 or Skyrim.

Why is Crysis even being bought up its not even massive scale game and please I seen nothing that tops SC scale and it will only become better once the developers optimize it more. And so far most of the game you mention can't even be played yet.

Ah sorry that is right, if you count 500k sold is good so sure...is that normal "good" numbers for indie games? I was comparing it to those AAA-games consider all the hyping hermits doing about this game...

Star Citizen is an indie game with a greater-than-AAA budget ($10-20M is "normal" for a AAA game these days).

Let that mull around in that noggin of yours for a while.

It's being marketed to a very specific crowd of gamers. Cloud Imperium isn't trying to get everyone and their grandmother to play it. They have made a game that people want to play, and are paying a lot of money for the privilege. More than any modern console retail MSRP.

Mhmm, 500k sold is pretty great considering people on average spent close to $100 on the game.

Here's a scenario: 1 million sales at $5-15 (typical indie price range) or 500k sold at close to $100, take your pick.

On topic: Considering most current gaming PCs can't run it either, this isn't really news, except for those that need to keep reassuring themselves.

It can run on consoles just like Doom 3 and Half Life 2 ran on the original Xbox, the problem is just how much would they have to strip back to get it to run?

PC is and always will be the better platform for performance and game play experience, you can play the games on consoles but it's a much better game play experience on PC due to higher frame rates and less frame rate dips.

I for one am happy because I will finally be able to get some software that can max out my pc. Same deal with ac wifi routers most of my home gear is 2x2 n band only my pc can use ac. Same deal with my tv I only have netflix 4k and it is not maxing out my hdtv.

I might even have to upgrade my pc but from what I have seen it's worth it.

Cutscene or Linear still rendered realtime and the gameplay looked the same confirmed by the devs. These two utterly destroy anything on PC right now or upcoming in sheer graphics fidelity.

Consolites are the people who start 99 percent of the graphic threads. Then they get salty when the master race aka hermits add in their two cents about the real graphic king the almighty pc. This gen consoles ps4/xflop started off with mid now low end pc hardware and it's only 2014. The ps5 most likely won't come out till 2020. Seeing how pc hardware 2x in power every year 4k gaming with soon become the norm on pc while consoles struggle to do 1080p.

If you want to know the future oc console gaming play pc gaming today. Pc still has a insane backlog of games due to real BC. It has mods for most games. It has the most aaa/aa games and exclusives. It has emulators for consoles from the wii on back and the wii u emulator is up but not stable yet. It has the best price on games by far. It has the best online gaming and it's free. You can play how you want on a high quality monitor/s or on a hdtv on the sofa. You can use kbam or a gamepad or even a kinect.

Pc only does every thing why are peasants still gaming on consoles is beyond me unless your a little kid with no money. Even so tell your mommy you need a pc for school and just upgrade it as needed over time like I did back in the day.

Cutscene or Linear still rendered realtime and the gameplay looked the same confirmed by the devs. These two utterly destroy anything on PC right now or upcoming in sheer graphics fidelity.

Man, I don't see open world games becoming popular on console anytime soon if devs know they can profit by making eye-candy games on a linear close corridor FPS exclusive.

But there will be plenty open world games on consoles to choose from.
MGS5, TW3, DA3, ACU, Batman AK, GTA5 remastered, FC4, Dying Light, ME4, Mad Max. I probably missed a few too.

@CroidX: how so, do they not work for or used to work for crytek?. If so, my bad but then the quoted statement is exactly in that line of thought. Target that nitch market that the original crysis did

With enough cuts I'm sure they could make it work, but I'm not surpised they don't want to. This is massive project and it will be expanded for years after launch, at which point trying to update version for hardware-static consoles would turn into nightmare. Plus the control system also is a lot more complex than typica sim.

Plus console versions would be a waste of resources. Resources that should be poured into pc version. With this much money it's not like they can claim they need console sales.

Chris Roberts is propably the last person who wants to have anything to do with Microsoft. MS already screwed one of his babies.

but none of them looks even close to Star citizen graphically.
