This is far more ambitious and large in scope than a GTA game is and will ever be.

Star Citizen creators takes on $46m investment, release financials, Squadron 42 Beta target Q2 2020
- Thread starter Boss
- Start date
Do scams also come out with products that work on your PC? And also get updated?
Again, it's easy to be ambitious when you have absolutely no reservations about promising everything to anyone with no plan as to how to make it happen.
OP
OP
They're making two video games and one is much more complex than GTA V, which while is a great game, would only compare to something like Squadron 42.
And CR was talking about if funding dried up they'd be able to finish the game because they've been making the game better as they get funds. If funding suddenly dried out they'd obviously cut back on what they were intending to accomplish with the idea they continued receiving money.
If funding stopped today, you'd expect the roadmap to have a lot taken off it so they can finish the game. They had ~20m in reserves on the 2016 filing and the interview was given early 2017.
Oh I'm sure I'm missing out, meanwhile I have two dozen new games that I can play that are actually all finished and released. Woe is me.
Again,
Says it all
No it's not. Star Citizen has consistently, without fail, blown dates and timelines. They have feature creep out the ass. They have so far not delivered a game, or anything remotely close to what was advertised. I'm not ruling out the possibility that the game will be finished, but right now it ain't. It's nowhere close and it's been 6 years.
Look, I have no horse in this race. I spent like $30 years ago on it: if it actually comes out with a decent, fully-fledged game? Great, I'm in. If it doesn't, I'm out $30. It's just really annoying to see people be disingenuous about this game.
I remember back in 2016 being hyped that Squadron 42 was just a couple months away.
I've really enjoyed playing their alpha but the management on this game is so weird.

Except their plans are right there. On that road map, and no doubt go more extensive in their JIRA.
But GTA has literally a small bit of features and small gimmicks compared to the shit you can already do in this game.
Does GTA have the graphics of this game? GTA lets you buy cars, houses, goto a strip club, stocks, and small small minigames. The game cost was marketting, and voice acting, and some R&D.
RSI has spent a metric fuckload on new engine features, and while having 80+ fully mocapped A List actors being recorded, while also working on two games at the same time one being persistent, and righting a trilogy for the story?
I don't see why it's so hard to notice the different between the two and why one costs a shitload more then the other to make.
1 hour of the different systems of the game (combat, dialogue, FPS portion, mission structire, etc..)
I mean, how much do you need to see of a game to believe it will be released in 2 years?
I'm not sure it's a scam. Just seems like a case of feature creep with no one to reign them in.
im not going to argue the semantics of what constitutes a finished product but whats available now clearly isnt it. its possible if development drags on and crowd funding stops covering the cost
ummm what? nothing will be finished in Q2 2019
i see no reason why squadron 42 wouldnt be possible on ps5. ps5 will have at minimum a 1080 gtx level gpu and a modern zen cpu. you can also remove the large amt of cpu overhead dx11 and windows brings
Repeating this line definitely doesn't make y'all look less like Scientologists. Nope.
My point is in that video series. If you have no counter to it, that says it all.
Literally the only people being disingenuous are the people attacking the ones that actually follow and play the game and do stuff like read the OP and its sale data.
I mean, YOU yourself has already been disingenuous in your own damn post!!
That. That right there... it's bullshit. It's false. It is a straight up lie.
You CAN say they haven't delivered the full game, or all the features, you can rightfully so complaint that they are still in alpha. All that is fair game... but when you come out with "or anything remotely close to what was advertised." this is just hyperbolic bullshit. No more, no less.
I'm not sure. How about you ask the people who paid in 2 years ago and don't have a game yet?
I hope you all eventually end up with an awesome game. I really do. Blind faith like this, however, is seriously unhealthy.
His line is so dumb there really isn't anything else to say.
Haaaa the good old "it's a religion" argument, I think it's my favorite after the "it's a scam" one. People that have a passion and are happy with it are really weird right ?
I need proven development and project management results to believe a game will release in a certain timeframe. This project has been a burning car crash since it began. One hour means nothing in the context of everything else. The PU is a mess devoid of content, btw.
Im impressed with the level of transparency. Well done CIG. And to all the people who said "its just a marketing gimmick", let me say that is one of the LEANEST marketing budgets I can think of for something less than 2 years from release.
Well, as someone who backed in December 2016 (Two years ago), I play SC multiple times a week and love the gameplay.
Imagine in 20 years that this game turns into ready player one. Those plots of land that cost 100$ will be worth millions. The joke will be on us lol.
Nah, you yourself don't seem to have a point, you're lazily referring to someone else's.
If you claim that this does not exist right now, then nobody should be listening to you. As you are clearly talking out of your ass and ignoring information avaliable to backers and non backers for the last few years.
Congratulations you know what it's like being a Kojima/FFVII fan.
Enjoy the ride.
Unlike Squadron 42 they are always at the ready for release.
So it will never release. I do not follow SC in detail, but it is clear that after what 6 years already and still it is in development, and the single player, the beta of the single player is in q2 2020.
All the supporters can only hope that SC will be great and finally release in 2 years time.
But at least Kojima was lucky enough to have Konami reining him in, right? Right?
They do tho? You can play it.
It really is. Doesn't anyone remember how much money Destiny cost?
I mean seriously Star Citizen is here right infront of us, and we can play it, but it's a scam? and it's fake? Man I literally have no idea what the fuck Death Stranding is but basically everyone here is convince that game is going to be beyond amazing. Hailing it as a mona lisa of gaming but we've got less then a minute of legit gameplay.
? Did you seriously call a comparison to a group who believe we are gonna ascend to Xenu? To people to follow actual fiction as religion?
the thing we can play and put our faith in is real and we can play it.
NO! impossible. the only explanation is that they're con men and steal from poor granmas who don't know any better about games.
Unfulfilled dates on KS is basically a norm by now, games like Shenmue 3 are too way off of their suposed release schedules.
Blind faith would mean I'm just running on whatever CIG says, but that's not the case, they showed a game running in real time on real hardware with several system and gameplay mechanics on place, I think that's more than enough to believe that a game could be delivered in 2 years. Also the tech powering SQ42 it's playable now.
It's really that farfetched to believe a game could be delivered in 2 years? even CIG said they would focus entirely on SQ42 if it came to a point they run out of funds so they can get further funds. I don't know if SQ42 will be any good in the end, but you don't need blind faith to believe in will come out.
The MP game....that's another story imo.
Or are just tired of the amount of shitposting and lies when the game is playable and the development is pretty transparent.
Seriously, noone attacking it read the OP.
Deflection implies there's something to deflect, I said I enjoyed the game in the current state, you replied with "watch this hour long series on why you are wrong"
Like I said, lazy.
First, slow down fella.
Second, if you want to go ahead and say what is currently released today is close to what was advertised, then you do you.
2020?
Holy hell, that is 8 years to get to just a beta state
makes me glad i didn't go all out building a new rig for it back then.

Dont care about the game much, but the backstory is movie worthy. Failed used car salesman with game dev experience ends up sleeping on friends couch and driving limos to survive, launches kickstarter, becomes a multi millionaire, marries model...now all we need is an ending
You say this, yet said you're entirely confident based on a video that this'll be set in 2 years? Okay. You're entirely right that big projects are notorious for delays. That's all the more reason to be skeptical.
Again, I do hope everyone ends up with a freaking great game, because the scope is incredible. But falling for any kind of timing promises after the past 5 years of things is ignorant.
