Looks absolutely incredible. Having Squadron feature complete is such a huge milestone and it looks like they’ve really managed to make great use of all the tech they’ve developed over the many years of development.
Hopefully the polishing goes well, after all this time they really need to nail the release and have everything completely dialled in.
FYI, they’ve announced SQ42 being feature complete before. 2018ish I think.
I don’t remember that. There was the infamous answer the call 2016 and a ramp up of promo material but they never made an announcement of feature complete iirc.
Looks good. But I backed years ago so my hype level is at the “meh, when it actually comes out we’ll see” levels.
Soooo… how long will they polish? A year or two years? And will they scrap things like they used to?
But damn do I like what I saw.
Yeah this is the question for sure. What they showed looked pretty polished to me but I’m sure they’re showing the best parts off for the trailer. It seemed like performance wasn’t super great in a couple of spots as well unless that was just the stream.
My finger in the air guess is late next year, with maybe a date announced at citizencon but who knows. I think their decision not to announce a date until it’s ready is a good thing though given their track record
The player question for all of CitCon is When? They don’t like to give dates anymore because they blew by those dates in the past.
I mentioned it in my day 2 impressions but I’ll repeat it here as well: after years of waiting I’m not particularly invested in S42 - both because I don’t have much hopes for writing and because I feel it slowed down progress on PU (part I actually care about) WAY more than I’d like.
Despite that I do have to say that seeing this showcase brought some of the initial interest back. Let’s see if they can deliver something really worthwhile.
Meh, I backed for Sq42 and feel the pu stuff delayed Sq42
It’s kind of funny reading this considering vast majority of CIG’s resources has been focused on S42 for years.
I’m not gonna argue about it though. I’m fully aware people backed the project for different reasons and in situation like this there’s no way to please everyone. I’m definitely happy for all the folks that are more interested in the single-player campaign than me.
Let’s hope with all those recent improvements they’ll finally be able to speed up the process and deliver something for all of us.
Agreed. I feel like the single player game has completely derailed the multiplayer focus. Even if it’s the best single player game in the world, ever, I prefer multiplayer games anyway. It’s the other people that make the universe special.
Wow it’s been ten years since backing the project, it almost seems surprising at this point that the game might actually release! Haven’t been excited about this for a long time simply due to how long it’s been but it will be a happy day when I can finally play this.
Sweet, so I get this for free because when I backed this garbage scam this was supposed to be included? Right? Right?..
Not sure if this is a legit question or not but in case it is, you should have Sq 42 included in your game package depending on when you backed. The did split them out as some point but if they had done that prior to you backing you would probably have known. You can always check your account to be sure though if you can’t remember.
Ah yes, let me do the check in on the account I gave up on checking the progress with 5+ years ago and can maybe log into. I have high hopes this will be playable soon. I’m going to load up on dogecoin to the moon as I login.
Well then, frankly, what are you doing wasting your time here, mate?
They just keep talking about immersion like it’s not beat to death in Star Citizen, which has the worst “immersion” in any game I’ve played.
This game will never come out anyway.
