From what I've heard, he is incredibly butthurt about the whole thing.Derek Smart must be sooooo jealous.

How about a trailer showing whatisin game?What do you want? This is what open development looks like. Yeah it's not for everyone. Neither is buying a game on a fucking trailer and a dozen screenshots that aren't even in the final game. Watchdogs comes to mind and so so many others.
I'm not sure if that's the trailer or another one that was put out which was missleading but a lot of ED players were up in arms over one of those a while back. I don't follow ED and don't play it so I don't really know but you could have tried to find any other game without any controversy that actually delivered what was in a 3min trailer. There are lots of those too.How about a trailer showing whatisin game?
All that trailer shows me is how that they could have used some preschoolers I know to do their ship design for them.How about a trailer showing whatisin game?
Tch, kids these days.All that trailer shows me is how that they could have used some preschoolers I know to do their ship design for them.
That was cringe worthy to watch.
The reluctance you're seeing has a lot to do with the fact that many posters here have been around so long, and seen so many "amazing promises and goals" not met that it's hard to look at Star Citizen and not be skeptical as well. There have been so many games in the past that promised so much and had such a great vision, but the final product never fully formed or did so in a way that was so subpar in quality as to not be worth playing for long.I think I see where you are coming from. You've been following this game off and on since it was announced, probably. I imagine there have been years worth of "plans" and not a lot to show for it up until rather recently. To me, it seems like there is a shit load of data, design docs, videos, images, interviews, etc. It's like a fucking treasure trove of information, and I'm loving it. It's so different from the big studios and their fucking veils of silence.

Yeah, I know I sound like a hopeless shill/fanboy. I tend to do this. I was really excited and stupid about ESO, too. You guys know that. For what it's worth, these are pretty damn different projects, and what burned me on Zenimax and ESO is exactly what's drawing me to SC. We really need this game to succeed if we want the big MMO landscape to change. I want to be a part of putting the big publishers out of business. This project is the poster child for crowd-funding and I really want it to be awesome for the sake of rubbing it in the faces of the big publishing houses who are producing vanilla, lowest common denominator bullshit.
This is still in question.This game actually has the money to be made
My understanding is that at around 66 million they stopped doing stretch goals, which I think is where the feature creep was coming from, right? They're at 75M now.Does this game have a locked feature set yet or are they still adding to it? I don't stay up to date on it but it seems like feature creep is killing them.
If you look a the stretch goal part of the site you can see for yourself when they stopped. Nothing major gameplay wise was added since 29mil.

Yeah all of the relatively minor stuff, like ships, was stopped at that point as it was getting ridiculous even for Chris. He could no longer put time aside for those items for the release or even early post release. There are a number of items that he has previously said were great ideas and wanted to add that will not make it into the game until post release if at all. That's typical of any game development. If we get 2/3 of what's promised I think people will be happy so long as that 2/3 is super polished.Video looks amazing. Did they just give up on making stretch goals after 65m?
