Of all the games I am waiting on, this is it. I have given $100 to this game and plan to give more.

Really cool looking game, but it would be a huge money pit.

BattleAxe3990d ago

Yeah, what I mean is that it will cost you a fortune to play the game with what looks like never ending micro-transactions. I think that while I was looking around, they had the price of one of the ships set at $250.00. Of course if you back the project, you'll save quite a bit of money up front, but unless you've got some serious cash to blow, or you aren't interested in playing any other games out there, it just doesn't make financial sense to invest in something like that.

“I’m not a PC elitist by any means; if I could be on the PS4, and they were open, and I could do the updating and all the sort of stuff we’re trying to do on Star Citizen, then I would definitely consider putting it on PS4, because it’s essentially a PC with a friendlier operating system.”

basically he's saying that the PS4 isn't as Indie friendly as you all seem to think it is.

I hope this game does really well and pushes PC gaming to it's limits.

This would hopefully spur more PC devs to just go crazy on the PC and make some really amazing games.

I have my eye on this game. If its really successful (and I hope it is) then maybe more amazing projects could be developed.

3 more years and we'll probably see it reach the billion mark. Question is, will it be fully released by then?

JunonZanon3d ago

That kinda defeats its point, I think.

PrinceOfAnger3d ago

I am curious to see what will they show this year on october.. a new gameplay trailer or maybe a release date?

Elite, this game once complete will hook lot of people with VR and so on. I truly believe this game will get ppl hook and never leave their room

Tankbusta403d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I get initially backing this....but who is still giving these guys money?

badz1492d ago

I think it's safe to assume that this project is a money laundering pit

blacktiger2d ago

the elite, tthis game is the future for VR and it will full set. ELITE
No one gives money like that,

got_dam3d ago

I can't believe this is still going on. Just don't even know what to say.

Star Citizen is hosting a massive free-fly event, offering everyone access to its sci-fi universe as well as almost all its ships and vehicles. The free-to-play promotion lasts for 12 days.

Wait !! What ? No news of STAR Citizen surpassing the Billion dollars funding? This feels like the same as the Malboro guys offering free smokes at a kindergarten garden. I pass and wake me up when this is actually released and has a price for purchase, if reviews scores are 10 or above I might buy... I might.

Imagine what you could do with 700 million
