Haha "fun" the project changed the players wanted this. Instead of a cool spacegame it will be the best space game ever made. Soo... it will take time but just u wait for this winters release trailer.. it will blow your mind. Release is in 4-5.months.
@@tuclance it would be the best space game if it came out this year, but it will actually be a mediocre space game when it comes out in 2030 since, by then, we'll have way better space games than we do today.
they know how to {cough} leak {cough} impressive trailers.... if only they knew how to actually release a game as well.... When will this be out? 2142??
When we see these footages we can assume it was supposed to be a 20y project just for SQ42... They won't say it, but judging by what we can see it has to be (around 2025-30). About SC, only AI will quantum leap the production to make this game truly enjoyable but around that same time frame (they won't spoil SQ42 neither). It's a multi generational project, in short. Patient is our best asset.
This is captured from a video player. It is not a print file. The studders in the footage are pauses in the stream or buffering. Perhaps it was a vimeo link that someone gained access to and recorded via OBS.
The scenery is close to perfection. The contrast, the details, the lightenings... It's huge, it's dark. I mean compare the level of details to Halo Infinite for example. Considering RDR2 cost more 540M I'd definitely say this game cost more than 700 just looking at the footage and the promise of gameplay behind. As always, CIG missing out its biggest assets in term of marketing, unless the leak was intentional.
Plus they had a base of opertions with rockstar which was already a billion dollar company! WAY beyond what CIG had.... Peopler never see it that way and would rather read those kotaku articles. xD
didn't someone claim that GTA6 has cost 2 billion at this point? That is an established company just churning out a next version of their game with game rules already in place to abide by. CIG created a company, built offices, hired people, built a game engine, and are creating 2 completely different games with only the 500 mil so far.
Ah, it's because the scale of this game + its multiplayer world is absurdly massive, qualitywise. It's like they try to realize a childish feverdream... 😅 And they seem to pull it off
The AI sucked, literally, and now they are close to making the most dynamic pathing types of AI that does need to use static pathing. It has never been done in any game before. Then the 4 systems worlds and moons are all fully explorable, so imagine all the sections than needs to be tested and filled out with proper content.
@@NotUnymous It's taking time, but yeah I looked at their interactive starmap again yesterday and damn, they are done with 1 system and will release the 2nd system probably sometime next year... however it took them 4 years to build out one system and one year to build the 2nd one... but even if they gain momentum it's gonna take a while for over 100 systems >.
@@FloDaddelt It's not a matter of "one star system takes X time to make." All the time we've been pottering around Stanton, CIG have still been building out the game mechanics, new features, the netcode, server meshing and other never-before-seen technology, ships, weapons... a game is more than just its world. Especially when it's an MMO. _Especially_ when it's one of the most detailed and ambitious games ever made. Heck, I'd guess that the main reason they're introducing a second star system now is to test travel between systems, and how the server meshing tech will handle them. Plus, their teams are currently spread across two different game projects - for better or worse. As the rest of the game's tech falls into place over the coming years, expanding the world across more and more systems will just be a case of building it.
yeah sure, "leaked footage". It's a teaser trailer. It has absolutely no spoilers to the story and everything shown is little surprise to anyone even remotely following the development. They just didn't want to make an official one so the community doesn't go all berserk again about the long development time. If it was a leak we would get some actual gameplay not cinematics.
@@NotUnymousEven a Timmy with 2 brain cells should know that you have to make a lie at least seem authentic and believable to make it seem at least real

Because if the game is still 2 or 3 years away, that's wasted marketing hype that becomes anger over time. They can't afford to fail SQ42, so ensuring the game is close to release and go full hype then is far better for CIG.
because this way we also get to see it, get all hyped about it, but without any official platform to comment on it because it's a "leak" so they avoid all the bitching like: "it's been 12 years and all you have to show for it is a cinematic trailer" -> not my reaction btw, but they would get a lot of them like that.
Because of the spoilers in it. You should play this game without seeing anything. If you have seen all before nothing really can surprise and impress you.
Well, since it is now feature complete your wish might actually come true. Of course only CIG knows how much time refinements and polishing is going to take and even they don't know for sure (which is why we still have no release-date officially) BUT a lot is pointing to very late 2024 or somewhere in 2025 release RIGHT NOW. Of course like everything in this project that can change. At least they will not stretch out development because they want another feature in the game anymore as it is now technically feature-locked
@@latech7671 Doesn't stop them from re-doing certain aspects of the game, which might delay the release of the game. A good example is the most recent SQ42 monthly report, where they ported the AI progress made in the PU over to the SQ42 branch.
@@trinityx3o522 Well, I would say that falls under "polishing" (of AI in that case). It is quite similar to playtests being done for SQ42, just that in this case the "Playtests" are done inside SC from backers What my (and probably also your) concern is: They need to find a point in time where they cut of SQ42 from any development they are making in SC so that they can fully polish SQ42 with how the systems work at that point in time. I really hope they are able to do that as we have already seen that because of perfection, they often can't commit to something being done but I guess we will see... ...given that they now have said officially that it is feature complete and an internal release-date (in addition to probably having a few deadlines for this years CitCon) it might given them more timelines to finish it than they ever had in the past
It looks great. But where are the concept ships backers payed hundreds of dollars for to make this possible? The ships are still not even close to being developed.
Those concept ships were never meant for squadron 42. They were always meant for the persistent universe as far as I know. There's no way they could have fit 30 to 50 ships organically inside of a single player campaign.
@@Deno2100 You're right. So why are they spending funding which was never meant for sq42 on sq42. All funding should have been towards the concept ships and Star Citizen.
@@artlife9563 Well as far as I understand it they had fundraising goals that ensured certain features would be put in the game. Chris asked the community for 200 million to build out the PU. We gave him 500 million. I am pretty sure only the 200 million legally has to be allotted to the PU. The rest can be spent on whatever. I think he could buy a house with it if he wanted. Money is not the problem, as far as I know. Its time and tech. They have enough money to make both games twice.
@@Deno2100 MMOs are the most cost-intensive games you can make, on top of that an open world story driven triple a game set in space should be the same for single player games. RDR2 development cost ranged between $170-240million and Rockstar already had the infrastructure that's needed for a game of this size. $500million is not much when you want to make an MMO and triple a singleplayer game with a company you need to set up in order to accomplish your goal.
@@zecumbe well for one, starfield would take the attention where it otherwise wouldn't which would make sales less then what could have been depending on release time of course, also the features of the game are more refined then SC's.Though to be fair, I'm starting to think sq42 is going to suffer less then I may have thought at the time of writing my comment. Because it is far more story driven. Let's hope CIG actually has some good writers because that is really what is going to sell it.
@@chicken10999999 Squadron 42 doesn't need attention until their game is ready to release. How are features in Starfield more refined if nobody has played them? Stop being an idiot. SQ42 story will easily have better character development and dialogues because it's a game actually aimed at adults.
@@chicken10999999 honesty i think if the writing was just above "ok" it would be good given the setting, art, and gameplay but still i hope that the story is something as memorable and comparable to ODST or something similar.
Squadron will be a typical Chris Roberts game, a cheesy well presented story, nothing that comes close to for example RDR2. Starfield is a Bethesda game and they're not known to be great storytellers, they're good at giving you the tools to tell your own little stories but that's about it. Another argument for Squadron 42 is the tech, systemic AI, seamless transitions, EVA, unified character rig and cinematics in real time, letting the player choose to watch a cutscene or experience it in first person. There's so much more fascinating tech that benefits the immersion that people will appreciate after they played Starfield, a game based on a 20 year old engine that doesn't even have ladders or moving vehicles. But in the end, if Starfield is a fun game people want more scifi, Mass Effect did that for me, I always dreamed of flying the Normandy up to the Citadel and dock on my own, walking seamlessly from my ship into a fully modeled Citadel. This got me into Star Citizen and Squadron 42 because as fun as Starfield looks, I can see how they fake things left and right in order to get it to work on their rusty old engine.
Can't wait for the release, 2014 doesn't feel like it's getting any closer.
