is this real life?
ill be honest, some of the best voice acting I ever heard in a video game, doesn't sound fake or acted, it sounds real! i'm so glad CIG managed to make this world feel and sound real like that, everything clicks together, it's amazing!
Was as good as Rockstar Games voice acting for me, wich is a very good thing!
I think big part of that is that they hired actual actors to play/act the roles during motion capture.
They were acting their part that's why it looks so good and on point with voice over.
Look at the cast... Hamill, Oldman, Cunningham, Anderson, Mendelsohn, Strong etc. etc. etc. This would be a great cast for massive Hollywod blockbuster. This is not the kind of cast you find in games. Or or two actors of this caliber... at best. But CIG just loaded the cast with talent.
And it's not just voice, it's full performance capture, all the gestures, facial expression etc. were captured with the audio. They used Andy Serkis' MoCap studio, Imaginarium. Serkis is also in the cast.
And, if anyone is horribly disappointed in The Last Jedi, at least they can get a good Hamill action fix here.
lol what do you expect when The Onion Knight and The Joker are featured prominently :)
Benefits of Roberts's time in Hollywood. He made contacts that payed off, something many game devs just do not think about. Heck it wasn't until recently that artists even knew what they were working on. I mean a lot of the bad acting was just because publishers did not tell them about the game, let them see it, and just gave them a long list of lines to read like some robot. And the difference in shows as in this, the actors have context, and the context helps believably of the performance.
The quality we are seeing here is nothing like anything else. Its not like EA can come up with a space game and do this, its just on another level. Its same with Star Citizen as well. Last night i flied to a planet where it was night time and i could look up to the starry sky, its was so amazing to look at. It wasnt just a skybox, the sky was actually full of actual things i could visit and fly to. Amazing feeling.
It's a company who knows how to spend their money.
Technically the starry sky is a skybox
Flew*
Funny how suddenly no one isn't complaining about "too cinematic" or "walking simulator"
same. It's truely LEVELS ahead
Here in 2022 watching this for the first time. I've been playing SC for 3 years and had no idea about this S42 clip and boy this was like watching a movie, so amazing I cant wait for this to release! What they are doing is truly ground breaking and I cant see any other game development compony coming close to what CIG can do for so many years to come if ever. I'm blown away and this is just a old WIP too wow!!!!
40 hours of gameplay, a very long movie ;)
@@FortniteBlaster2 no no no.. its 5 hours of gameplay and 35 hours of movie :P
@@M3SA-gaming this isn't a Kojima game lol
Lol here we are mid 2023, this video is over 5 years old, and nothing had been seen of this game since 😅
@@antonego9581less than a week to go and all shall be revealed (hopefully)
Now I watch "game movies", cuz I'm poor, besides the point, this small mission, over an hour long, and just a taste, REALLY felt like watching a movie. The cinematic quality was top notch, VO, animation(minus some polish to-do's), and writing was engaging.
I honestly never took my eyes off the screen once, and I have ADHD, that's, now THATS something special.
Imagine how engrossing playing it would be...
I just checked what ADHD is... My parents thought that I just didn't pay attention, but especially in my early years, the symptoms of it were very apparent. I was the slowest at writing because either my pen would fell off, or my nose was itching, or something happened outside the window or I would repeatedly move my leg up and down sparsely. Man, I think now I know whats wrong with me all those years thanks to this comment. Will definitely try and contact a psychologist.
Watching a movie? to me this feels like being inside the movie dude. Just spectacular in every aspect.
I don't know how you kept your eyes on this while they were traveling through space doing nothing for over ten minutes
@@voodoochild1975az imagine if the game ever released
first i was highly skeptical, than i got more curious, bit skeptic again, and than i pledged and joined the fam. No regrets.
lmao
Welcome aboard, starman.
Was just going to watch like, 5 mins to see how it's looking. 1 hour later I'm wondering whether to watch it again. One of the best campaign sequences I've seen in a game, the transitions from different types of gameplay were very natural and it just looks epic in scale. Double thumbs up
Nice to see they put scotty in the engine room
Commandar Sheppar. I miss Kenneth Donnelly XD
Vast majority of the ship had English accents so take anyone from the ship and put them in the engine room and you would have that. Part of the reason is most of the lower list actors and extras probably came from England were I think they did the the Mocap. Pretty sure the mocap studio is in England.
Arthillis yes but I'm pretty sure having him be a Scott is in purpose. They could've had an English person there instead. It can be a coincidence, but I wouldn't put it past CIG who love SciFi Easter eggs
Irritatingly all the Brits pronounce lieutenant the American way which doesn't make much sense.
Engineering in all games should have a Scotty at all times!
I never imagined watching this over four years ago that four years later, I'd still have no idea when Squadron 42 was going to release.
5 years later, here will are still lol.
But let's hope the expected price increase for SQ42 and the over the hush hush nature of this game's development throughout the last year is a sign towards a release sometime soon.
@@ranishkA123 well tbh the dev-time for SQ42 and SC is nothing special compared to other productions with less scale
starfield time XD, this 5 years ago looks 10x better. than loading door simulator
... it truly doesn't bother you that this clip is 6 years old and there's no sign of SQ42 releasing in even the next 5 years? Really? You guys are THAT brainwashed?
SQ42 is now : Feature complete
7:30 Morrow is actually reacting to what the player is looking at, and talking about it. They called it SpoilTech in the commentary. Very small detail but took a lot of work. I hope others can appreciate stuff like this and the time and effort required to realise it.
It's all scripted
OMG, those faces, animations and the voice acting and it looks beautiful, TOP NOTCH!
This is what can happen when passionate people get the time and money to work a dream project. The quality of the entire production from the graphics to the acting and writing are an example of what gaming can be. Can't wait to hook up my HOTAS and put on my VR headset and head off into space and explore the verse with the rest of the community.
2020 here. This is what happens when you have no publisher to ensure a game actually gets finished.
@@mercenum5186 dont you mean "to ensure an unfinished moneygrab game gets released"? Because thats how it is in 2020... publishers are cancer these days.
@@mercenum5186 Many great games have taken a decade to release. The Passion, detail and depth their going for in SQ 42 and the first true space simulator Star citizen cant be rushed. Nor do we want it to be. Looking Gorgeous! Keep it up!
2021 here. LOLOLOL
@@Ricback2 2022 here: I don't want to lol, but yeah lol. But reading and trying to understand the development process involved with this game, they dug themselves a deep hole, and it will be a continuous evolution. I think SQ42's chapters should be released as episodes like a series, that way each chapter can be finely tuned before release. Then listening to earnings calls from other game companies; I'd rather CIG be on this slow development cycle than for it to be rushed out for investor holiday/quarterly returns.
"Gamers just aren't interested in linear single player experiences anymore" paraphrased from EA.
BTW, Great job on the voice acting! love the internalized voices for the options as well! very natural and flows well.
This isn't a linear single player experience though. It's an open-ended single player experience.
Gamers are intrested in games so where's this one?
@@mercenum5186 gamers are interested in finished games*
not unfinished carbage that people these days call games.
great job for a game that was supposed to be released in 2016
did that armory guy make terminator reference?
Jep! haha :D
Yes, haha
OOOZZZEEE NEIN MEELEEMEETAAHH
If you didn't figure it out already, I'm pretty sure this guys a lieutenant. ^^

This is gonna be the new "Ramirez" meme. You heard it from me first. "Lieutenant, Go here. Lieutenant, Do that. Lieutenant, save the galaxy."

I keep feeling like a Xenomorph is gonna hop out the corner and start tearing ish up... lol.
SoonTM
@@ChrlzMaraz Alien humanoids are like that yeah..... but maybe there would be some more less intelligent and more unusual looking species down the line.
I have to remind myself that I'm watching a video game and not a really cool new sci-fi channel show.
It's called the Expanse. Thank me later.
only means people can MAKE great Sci-Fi shows when the game launches. :)
I better not die before this releases
If you have a terminal illness, you might want to contact Make A Wish and the devs. I'm sure they can hook you up before it's gold in the next few months.
Next few months? Hah this is atleast 2 years away.
It was grey box over a year ago. With the 3.0 systems in place, they just need to work out the kinks in the AI. 3 years from a functionally complete game to gold would be ridiculous
u still alive?
RIP Darzo aka Josh Millen 1996 - 2018
Here I am, watching this in April of 2021, and I can't help but wonder what this vertical slice would look like now... I would love to see an update of this released for CitizenCon 2021!
Yeah, as far as I know, SQ42 wasn't even _mentioned_ once during any of the panels. That pissed me off.
@@PragmaticTornado I know, we're still waiting for an update. What a tease
right now its may 24 2022 invictus week still waiting
@@josevelazquez6944 But we know they have dedicated the vast majority of internal resources to SQ42 and that they are opening a massive office in the UK. They have grown rapidly. I wouldn't have said this a year ago, but I really think we'll get SQ42 in the next year or two. At least Ep. 01.
@@buzzfightbeer8023 yessss lil by lil we getting there!!!❤️
After Starfield Igotta say CIG was beyond its time, once again ...
maybe if we could actually play squadron 42 yeah
Next year well enjoy S42 ! :)
@@rolistefanghien 🤣😂😂🤣😂 maybe in 2042
Thank you all at CIG. Have a nice holiday and Merry Christmas.
I was about to watch a movie before going to bed but I think this will do just fine
SNOW SOS lol me too. Same same. JUST LIKE A MOVIE.
Literally what I just did.
...and this is 2 years old now. And I still think about it. xD
Considering it's Pre-Alpha WIP, it looks really good. Surely they showed us some of the more polished bits, and with just a few graphical glitches and clonky character position when going in and out of an animation. But all that should be improved.
Really good showcase of the single player!
ahahahaha very funny.
@@purefoldnz3070 lmao
Once in a while, I come here to watch this again, keeping dreaming about this game really coming out... But it's been so long...
agree
At least development still continues for it
lieutenant lieutenant lieutenant lieutenant.....lieutenant
ikr
Lieutenant.
This definitely falls under the "Truth In Television" trope of pretty much being exactly what it's like in the military.
Lost him...
doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor... doctor
16:50 "Phased Plasma rifle in the 40watt range" -- LOL :D 16:50
ohhhh now i get it
"hey just wat you see pal!"
Is the BEST xD lol !!!! Love it ! ( Terminator )
imagine this gameplay currently with all the work they have done since its release
This is never coming out. 4 years later and still nothing. It'll be 2030 by the time it releases & it'll look completely dated by then.
@@OC.TINYYY 👀
These actors (Davos!!) are so good i feel like they are talking to me and i get cagey ;'D
All that stuff. On one ship..
This game will be glorious
This is a pre-alpha from 2018. It's now 2024.
I NEED IT.
Mark Hamill is better in StarCitizen than in Star Wars ep 8 ! ! !
Eeehhh WRONG!!
He is about the only great thing in "The Last Jedi".
Say what you will about the story direction, but Mark Hamil put in a killer acting job in that flick.
16:49 ha, nice reference
This looks seriously good. Everything is on point
This game is a blessing
When your ship is bigger than a city in Skyrim....
Do you think the main character is a lieutenant?
Firebrand no
Hmmm... it must be his name then, lol
If he's a lieutenant, you're a captain. Captain Obvious.
Lieutenant is his rank
This is midway in the game and the PC is at the rank of lieutenant.
Coming from 2022, Star Citizen has really come far since then, looking at this, you can see all the changes and differences in things like the HUD, along with the similarities. I appreciate that they didn't try to polish it up and left all the bugs in, didn't try to make ti seem better or more polished than it is.
True! And the lighting and e.g. the quality of faces did improve during the last years. Even now this preview still looks amazing.
@@tobytoxd It's also cool how a lot of the things on the roadmap related to SQ42, right now, are things featured in this vertical slice. Everything from the AI at the beginning, the HUD and locker experiences, a military variant multitool, improving MT cutting, new flight mechanics, yadda yadda. Can't wait for whatever they have cooking behind closed doors at CIG rn to be unleashed.
Usually I never leave comments but this is worth it...
You should leave a comment then!
wait till you read my reply
I usually do not respond to comment but now is the time!
This is my reply to your comment. I usually drink coffee.
I'm going to respond, too. Tomorrow is Christmas.
Excellent! Well done! This was like watching a film and I was engrossed. I don't normally watch video game streams or videos this long but it was worth it.
This is very impressive. I like how the character's voices aren't over-acted, and aren't over-animated. Faceware tech seems to be working well here (assuming it's Faceware), but I can't imagine it wouldn't be with so much dialogue. The completed shopkeeper interaction is fantastic too, and I like the detail put into the flight deck crew and their signals to the pilots.
The ships are impressive too. Nice to see Mark Hamill as part of this effort.
Take that, DS!
This has nothing to do with Faceware.
Faceware integration is for facial animation of the player character based on what you do in front of your webcam. This is for the online part (Star Citizen).
The actors are fully, completely motion captured with the own in-house mocap tech of CIG. No digital animation in those scenes.
Dayum, feels like I'm watching a movie!
Every time I see this, it's more impressive.
8:40, "Basically, everything here could blow the ship up. Hmm, we should probably get a raise." You just took the words out of my mouth. That how a got my raise when the boss asked me why he should give it to me. :-)
I'd actually pay a few dollars per episode for a TV animation series like this. They nailed the space atmosphere in this one.
1:03:00 that death cartwheel
Lol up there with best death animations. :)
My favorite part starts at 54:00. When the pilot infiltrates the base from the moment he enters to the moment when the shooting starts. The music directing is superb. Put your headphones and listen how the music reacts on player's actions. It changes accordingly to what he's doing, where he is and what he is about to. My favorite moments are: when the player places the battery, when he goes up by the elevator and when he kills a slaver with the knife. So cool!
Did you notice the vehicle at 57:00 ???
this is an automated music direction system, the music reacts to your actions and environment. so the music allways builds tension only when its needed... you cant use such a tech in a linear gameplay...
Except there's no gameplay. Just a tech demo where you go from waypoint to waypoint
This was completely linear
As soon as this is an actual full fledged game I'm leaving Elite Dangerous for this. I can't wait to do this in VR!
Mark Lewis meh, SQ42 is a single and I don’t think VR will work really great
@@Phantom-gz1bx SQ42 and SC are interconnected and going to have the same mechanics.
@@Phantom-gz1bx and they're making the game to be vr friendly that's why all ui elements are physicalised buttons
Even 6 years old this trailer is pretty decent! Hope to play it soon.
This looks really good and I'm really excited to play this when it's released. From a realism standpoint, a few things bothered me though. The dust clouds at the beginning were really very thick, almost atmosphere like. I would struggle to see that happening in space. Also, although the rings around that planet looked amazing, and I loved the way some debris was falling into the atmosphere. It looked a bit odd though that the rings were stationary above the planet, if they were that close to the surface they would have to be traveling at some rate to stay in orbit. I get though that that would be difficult if there is a waypoint in the rings and another waypoint on the surface quite close to each other. To be fair though, this is the best space sim I have seen, and I love the attention to detail they have been putting into it!
Those design choices are in here, because Star Citizen and Squadron 42 are a blend of a simulation and a cinematic action adventure at the same time. SC & S42 are not going for 2001: A Space Odyssey but more for a mix of e.g. Star Wars and The Expanse. Those unrealistic design choices are there to increase the visual and emotional drama. I like it! :)
So good. So awesome. Your own private 200 million dollar movie! Excellent work! It's so nice seeing real professional actors in a production like this. This is the space game I've always wanted. Mark Hamill and everyone involved. Two thumbs up!
If your shoulder ever sounds like that when you wake up... go to a hospital.
I almost cry seeing this beauty.....
Thanks for the great demo of the game. That is the kind of gameplay I never thought I would see before 2050 so your about 30 years ahead of the curve by my reckoning. It is hard to imagine what a game like this could become with long term post launch development. I look forward to seeing where all this eventually leads.
Them darn cliffhangers!
It's an optional mission though
Optional mission you say?? :o
Fun fact, there is an actor in this video, who played in the movie Cliffhanger
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS GAMEPLAY IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER.
Here I am again.... late 2023.... hope it gets announced at citzon next month.
How do you feel now mate?
@@Mabifield Quite good after all the CitizenCon reveals. I'm hopeful we'll see a release late next year.
back when in 2013 or whatever when you said for a singel player campaign i was all against it but you've changed my mind, so very hard. Good job, cant wait to play.
those visuals, shadows, particles effects etc.. are.... well on another level.... STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So guys, after seeing this video (I know 3 years to late), you finally got my money! Happy now?
Now please deliver a good Singleplayer game!
lol
Just watched the commentary version and it blew me away. Keep going with this level of detail and polish and this will be phenomenal.
Currently 2024 this is the most continuous S42 footage I’ve seen
Phase Plasma Rifle in a 40 Watt range - great Terminator reference, including the response!
I've watched this countless times, I think I'm looking forwards to s42 more than the PU.
Worth waiting for. Keep it up!
voice acting is amazing, as are the facial animations. most real and alive feeling characters I've ever seen in a video game. it was a while wait for this trailer, but it was worth it.
have to say this looks amazing, im glad that i backed this years ago and now finally seing it come to life
20:00 Those OMC mercs look tough. Sato kahn's got some muscle to flex
2022 updated look at this slice would be amazing
👀
@@MarshaII-D-Teach I suppose we got it with the newer trailer… just in 23… lmao it’s a “One day…” type of game
Im back for the 24st time to watch this amazing video. Its like therapy :)
The scene starting at 9:25 is fantastic. And this was 2,5 years ago.... just imagine where sq42 is now... can't wait to play it.
I share the same sentiment! ^^ Amazing stuff
I thought it was already released in 2014. Did they delay it again? xD
Love how it says the response audibly when hovering. A lot of games simplify the text so you choose a rude response when that wasn't the goal. This will be an amazing game whenever it comes.
they really nailed that 19:15 scene
LOL @ the Terminator 1 gun shop reference!!!
Game is looking pretty great. Of course room to improve on a few things but for pre-alpha it is already ahead of 99% of games out there. I really do hope they open this up to VR. The whole first person, dof, etc really lends itself to the tech. Would love to see this in VR.
They even made sure all the controls were physicalised buttons to be VR friendly. They do plan on VR but they want to flesh out certain UI elements and ship control panels iirc animating you pressing the controls and everything
i'd pay just to watch the acting and it would be worth every penny .. well done sirs.. well done
Wow.... out of the rack and in uniform no SS&S. Reminds of some of the guys I served with..... LOL
Seeing this makes me want them to add a horror aspect to some of the game
me too, space is the perfect set for a horror story, you can be truly without, unable to escape because there is nowhere to escape to and you can believably have something unknown somewhere.
That was amazing! Great acting, great script, great coding, graphics and gameplay. Top notch all round! Can't wait!
I'm watching this is 2022 after seeing Top Gun Maverick and completely loving the scene at 50:22
3 times the budget, 5 times the production/dev time, still very little to show.
Its a great challenge to make NPCs come across naturally, and behave believable. I can see you guys came along way on that front, and still have along way to go. Would be wonderful to finally see a game that pulls it off. Star Citizen seems to be ambitious enough to manage it first time. good luck, may the force be with you on that front.
IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS, WHERES THE GAME?
In development! Where else would it be?
@@qdpqbp not sure what you mean by that haha.
+1
In another 5 years, we need the same vertical slice with new tech
"Plasma rifle 40Watt"
"Just what you see" heard that before.......
even the pre-alpha looks amazing!
Well that was epic.
The video is a lot crisper than on twich, perfect !

waaaait what, im cruising thru the Verse since three years, btw its Invictus 2024, i watched the Squadron 42 Trailer more than a dozen times, and today i find THIS.. to be honest its crazy to see the IDRIS in a video from 6 years ago.. and in coparison to this i walked thru it by myself 💥truly Mindblowing 💥 . Guys im speachless. Squadron 42 is a MiLESTONE in SCIFI Gaming. the whole Star Citizen thing is not from this world. Hope to see yall in the Verse.
I held the line
o7
Did not feel like an hour video and I wanted more. Good indicators of quality content.
I can wait for this :)
The formula is right for a solid game, can't wait to play SQ42.
Got in to star citizen this year, looks awesome can't wait for more story's to come out, anyone till me what ship its is you fly in this and the one you search? Any help be great
They're flying the Aegis Gladius, and searching for a MISC Starfarer.
This popped into my feed and even though we have had the 2023 trailer for a little while now, this still looks decent. The 2023 trailer is quite a lot better looking though, so I'm quite excited to see how far they push the visuals by the time of the full game release in 202#.
I just can't get over the fact that Captain Noah White is actually voiced by, and looks the same as, Liam Cunningham, (aka Devos Seaworth, Game of Thrones). It's just amazing.
Simply epic, well worth the wait.
That Terminator easteregg :D But seriously: Great work!
first
very nice love the whole atmosphere and feel to it :)
And to think that the animations and lighting are not polished yet, this still looks fantastic.
The soundtrack is pretty fantastic so far, really adds to the atmosphere.
Incredible work,shut up and take my money.
oh they will. no refunds either (not without litigation at least it seems)
they already took your money. and everybody's money.. and didn't release a game.
'Cause it's not done. Ya know? ;)
Just because it looks better than Watch_Dogs did on E3 and you can actually play it doesn't mean it's done ;)
Keep up the good work !! Amazing
I watched this video 8 times, from the beginning to the end. Do i need a psychiatrist?
you need something to do except being hyped about a game
what happened? this was 5 years ago :o
They took the money and ran.
