I’ll give them credit, their ship designers are some of the best ever.
yes because SC is a family thing: what you can see in this trailer has been done by the 3rd generation of game designers (the grand sons of the original game designers that began working on the game). They improve over generations
hahaha! So true. @@MrZobiwan
I don’t know any other designs that can beat this with this much immersion
@@emmanuelogedengbe3738functional ship design is way more crazy
becaus we had great designer and they are sons now working on this and becaus of dads they are able@@MrZobiwan
The intro with the fleet and the bagpipes... chills
Battlestar Galactica vibes
The entire scene has a feel akin to the beginning of Revenge of the Sith. Chills to be sure.
I was the only one of my friends noticing the bagpipes in the score really hit that great naval beat as the armada comes into frame
Dune vibes
The rattle and scourge of the pipes is a sound I hope humanity dose take unto the stars! Per Aspera Ad Astra!
I've never played Star Citizen, but this... this looks like a testament to perseverance of both community and developers. This is great. I am beyond impressed.
Right had this game released with those before shots they woulda been laughed at.
@@ccgod Most definatley,especialy by bigfry and angry joe
exactly what someone who has played the game would say lmfao, dickriding to a next level is crazy
It's a testament to the graphics of this game that when they swapped to that shot of Manchester I actually thought the story of the game was switching to earth. I was thinking "that Manchester doesn't look very futuristic." :D You guys had me going.
Haha, same here! It had me fooled for several seconds! Pretty impressive.
same lol.
pretty sure everyone that cheered also thought that lol
+1 xD
Me tooo 😂😂😂
"We wanted it to be the Wing Commander of this generation", and now I know Chris Roberts hasn't forgotten his original intention.
**Cough** "THIS IS A PC GAME...", "Y'know there will be modding and y'know...", "BEST GODDAMN SPACE SIM EVER!" **cough**
@@RonJeremy514 thats the persistant universe for SQ42(or in general the initial kickstarter) always was intended as a Wing commander successor
Imagine the kilrathi from wing commander in star citizen
@davidvangerner7241
IIRC the Star Citizen 'verse is a soft reboot of Wing Commander like 2003 Battlestar Galactica.
So the events of the Wing Commander in 2300s generally happened, although some things got changed up.
I do know that the Kilrathi were almost wiped out in between then and now by Kilrah getting glassed, though.
Mind Blown. This was such an incredible cinematic/walkthrough of Squadron 42. I'm hyped.
For real mind blown.. too much to process. What a citizencon! What a day to be a Star Citizen!
My jaw is still somewhere on the floor. I wasn't hyped for SQ42 that much, but now I'm 100% there :D
Is this the first time we seen boats that is really cool I hope they put all kinds of boats in the game even combat boats and small naval ships
B O A T
Bot comment.
This is the game Bethesda thought they were making.
You're not lying. This is on a whole other level.
16x the detail!
This is the game fanboys pretend starfield is 😂
Don't applaud who's not out yet
At least Bethesda released its game.
Y’all simping for a decade old con job lmao
#ScamCitizen
I dont know how they did it, but they managed to take a sci fi opening scene (the most common one, small ships fly into fleet) and by introducing bag pipes of all things, made it easily one, if not the, most epic 20 seconds of sci fi ship badassary.
and then the teletubbie sad music came in lol
@@slopedarmor The writing home song is an Easter egg from OG 16bit Wing Commander drama scenes.
@@eltreum1 I LOVED both tracks. Hypepipes got me hyped up like BSG music, and the easter egg melody from Wing Commander made me tear up a little. Really looking forward to not just the game release, but also OST release!
Just like he did with Wing Commander generations ago.
We held the line.
We did sir, we did
So proud of us guys 🥹
We held the line
You held your wallet out
Pledged in 2014 with an aurora. The mf did it.
Watching this after having played Starfield is amazing, such a huge difference, this game cleary has a huge sense of scale
Those bagpipes hit harder than my dad's belt.
If CIG can deliver what they are showing here, this will be a new milestone in Gaming. I have never seen something even close to what I have just seen in this video.
And immediately after an ea exec will be saying
CIG DID THIS WITH DONATED MONEY IN RENTED SERVERS!
while Microsoft is busy coding, fingerprinting, and scanning through the doors to their vault before they walk in take out a box blow the dust off it and open it to reveal a hard drive labeled "freelancer source code"
CIG has never shown any content that is not what's in their game. So yes, it will be for sure. And if you look toward pure gameplay sequence, captured live (like in the idris, or stations) you see little fps drop, so that it is, a real gameplay demo, with no added vfx
@@Arkios366 The fps drops are what worries me
@@kida4313 well they still have to optimize and polish the game, feature complete does not mean ready to release so i wouldnt worry too much, i imagine SQ42 will be much easier on the computer then star citizen
@@kida4313 Game hasn't gone through stability and optimization yet. They said it like 5 times in the video
My god. As someone who backed the game since 2013. Seeing that SQ42 is actually gonna happen is actually a really big deal. That the dream is actually becoming a reality ever since it was first put on kickstarter.
It's only going to release a decade later than planned if they launch early 2024
Just wait another decade XD
same here
So true. But Gillian Anderson has to be somewhat of a main charakter and one of the highest ranked too. Her dialogues in X Files were amazing.
@@bighit20100 I mean, they entered now "polishing phase"... So yeah, might take another year or two at least xD.
To all of CIG's employees, thank you for the work and dedication you've put into this game and may polishing go well!
We've waited this long, we can wait for polishing!
07 !
Amazing devs
very good job those from CIG did
It's not even out yet you clown. We were told it was finished back in 2016 also.
no
After seeing everything happening in Star Citizen over the years, this will be a huge milestone in gaming with the tech they have created. There will be nothing like it for at least another generation. Please keep up the good work, you have, and are creating something unprecedented.
The old cry engine should be the milestone? 😂😂😂
@@O-.-O Doesn't matter if it was a unity engine, they have created stuff no other company has. If there was an engine from the future we could all have now we would be using it.
ive never in my 52 yrs and the yrs of playing video games seen a game or even the love of a game as much as these guys love this game.....ive never been more proud of being a part of a game and all the testing as far as star citizen and us buying into ships and making this the best game ever made....thank you guys for giving us the best game that has ever been made
I'd like to congratulate the bagpipe on becoming the instrument of the sci fi future, thank you Dune :D Genuinely love the bagpipes.
It is good stuff
Only appropriate, after all Montgomery Scot kept the dream of space under way for decades!
Never watched battlestar galactica did ya?
You're only a decade overdue for the discovery that bagpipes and scifi have a long history.
Just like this game is a decade overdue for its planned reuse release (:
i like it more on KORN but warever lol
@@elonwhateverso you think the game could possibly look this good a decade ago if it wasn’t delayed?
Watching this & I just wish even more that cancer hadn't taken my brother 7 years ago, we were both huge fans of the wing commander games & played them all when they came out & he would be so hyped for SQ42 after seeing this!
Sorry to hear that!
I share your pain friend. Cancer took my brother back in 2010. This is most definitely something we'd have done together. We carry on in their memory.
I Can't imagine how you must feel. Sorry for your loss.
He is still out there! Feel your loss and am sorry for you. Keep the line brother 🙂 best to you!
Got a little teary eyed reading this....
WHEN THE SPACE BAGPIPES KICK IN
This is truly an ensemble star cast of voice actors !!
They did performance capture for it too! All the movements you see in game they acted out in person.
This absolutely demolished my expectations. It has been A LOT of time since a game gave me this kind of feeling. The goosebumps. To say very nice job is an understatement. I will admit I was sceptical but this has delivered far more than I expected.
When they presented this video I felt like I was seen an intricate movie with a lot of little unconnected histories ( the Con itself ) and then... the conclusion were all is revealed. I realized that they can release all the content they just promised to PU because it's already in Squadron 42. So, yes, after 10 years of project I dropped a tear, just a little one.
A CG trailer for a game that had it's release date 4 years ago demolished your expectations? Jesus your expectations are low
@@pdpMASTERPlol its isnt a CGI trailer its all in engine.
@@dduran6609 I wouldn't bother, just ignorant internet trolls.
@@pdpMASTERP all of this is in realtime in game. You can even see the obvious signs of it in the rendering and framerate. You can see in many scenes typical issues in lighting and shadowing, jagged edges, and other things that show it's realtime.
Ahh I knew convincing my brother to buy this 10 years ago was a good idea. We did it TOGETHER
It’s hard to tell what’s a joke here
You don’t get squadron 42 for supporting the kickstarter bud. You paid to support them making games and they took that money, made another game, and want you to buy that one now.
There have been like 1 trillion gamepackages where you got it basically for free on top because you got 25% discount on a bigger package like the freelancer starter back in january 2022+ SQ42 for the normal price of the package. @@BeAsTMoDE528
Y'all held the line. o7 to you solider!
@@BeAsTMoDE528 - This isn't true. I bought both Squadron 42 and Star Citizen.
4:45 LMAO did anyone else think they pulled off a super realistic Earth planet? xD
yeah, everyone did xD
thing is, that was actually a super realistic earth planet, the people on the roof aren’t real people
I honestly cant even tell if its real or not lmao
My first thought was......👀
10 years in the making, feels surreal that it's finally coming together.
10 years and still counting.
it's released when it's playable offline for an exchange of money.
@@IRMentat *"it's released when it's playable offline for an exchange of money."*
By that standards, most games nowadays never get released
More than 10.
Or that it actually exists.
Just wait more 10 years bro
Whoever is designing the enviroments shown in the last 5 minutes of this video, deserves a raise, DANG !
Yeah we should buy a few more ships right? 😅
5:08 "we've moved into the polishing phase"
shows laggy gameplay
@@sp33drr Yes, that's what polishing is. You build everything, then tidy it up so it runs nicely.
@@sp33drr you´re probably one of those idiots nagging about low fps while simultaneously claming it is pre-rendered.
@@weisthor0815Go back to playing Starfield
1:18 I CAN NOT GET OVER how good this looks, especially with the bagpipes, I keep getting battlestar galactica vibes from it and im all for it!
Actual goosebumps for this scene
the ost in background is fire as well !
@@objectifeopan7400 The Hornet and that soundtrack is something remarkable!
reminded me of dune
Dude. Seriously this is what happens when nobody is rushing a dev team and production team. This the insane level of quality, and delivery that lots of other companies could accomplish. And it’s all due to hard work, passion, dedication……… and most importantly……….. PLAYER BASED PATIENCE, LOTS AND LOTS OF PATIENCE.
im having a hard time believing this actually exists. if this pulls off, its gonna shake the gaming industry
You better believe it. This game bottlenecked Star Citizen for years because the development was undergoing in complete secrecy using most of the development resources. And after this video and the announcement that Squadron is feature complete, the stuff you see in this vid started to make its way into the Persistent Universe, aka Star Citizen. The UI, the animations, Graphics API, even the ships are now added over there. The fantastic character creator that is showcased throughout this video, i just tested last evening in the internal test server and it looks and feels EXACTLY like in this vid. So yeah, this game is on the way, we expect the big release date announcement to happen in October, and internal leak suggest that CIG is targeting Q1 2025 with release.
This is everything I ever wanted in a game. That's the most immersive game I've ever seen.
imagine getting scamed for 20 years and begging for more
Just 2 more weeks!

@@deenman2310 comes after 9. Not 20. Now you can count to ten!
Cope harder. We're going to get our game.
@@deenman2320 years? Take your stupidity elsewhere 🤡
I have been a huge fan of Star Citizen but had little interest in SQ42...until now. It looks epic and I am actually excited to check this out.
Squadron 42 was what sold me originally but what they showed of base building was great ngl
SQ42 was the only reason I bought a carrack to support the development. Unless the PU has a single player mode like ED has I will most likely never touch it.
You won't lol
@@mmmdawe I know. Which is a shame because this game is absolutely big enough to cater to both groups. Now they choose one over the other
The further the development goes, the less am I interested in SC. Being a sorta early backer I lost all the hope. Just wish they at least release SQ42 in a good state. In 2042...
1:20 is an amazing transition. It's so well done. Music on point.
It was also preceded for 20 seconds by the most incredible example of wingman indiscipline I've ever seen - try those uncommunicated barrel rolls and flank swaps in the RAF and you'd get grounded for life.
@@Gazbeard If you're looking for DCS military sim server type realism, this aint your game.
@@_Addi_ How long have you been a backer? Do you remember Chris Roberts' promises of "unparalled simulator realism"?
@@Gazbeard He didnt mean that it would include every rule and restriction that current Air Force and Navy personnel have to follow lmfao. They were talking about physical fidelity and that is all.
@@Gazbeard It's a game....
I started playing Star Citizen just a week ago, and now I'll have to get into Squadron 42!
Welcome to the 'Verse'
@@lights4bre890 o7
Welcome pilot o7
inspecific the word "now" and as a Star Citizen Player you wil learn very new definitions of the words "patience" and "soon" :D
I pledged the base ship with squadron 42 and kind of forgot about the game for a few years. Hope the campaign’s worth the wait when it comes out
Been with SC since 2012, and I have to say the last 2-3 years have shattered my confidence in CIG.
When he said that S42 is feature complete, I was genuinely shocked. This video shows some incredible work.
That said, CIG have shown us some very slick videos in the past which we've never seen any sign of afterwards. I will maintain a certain amount of scepticism, but this really does have me excited to play it.
yeah, i remember the sandworm ... slick videos nails it.
Someone hasn’t been reading their monthly sq42 reports
This is nothing short of incredible. Simply amazing! Thank you Chris Roberts and the entire CIG TEAM. This is a labor of love. And I've really enjoyed following the project every day for the last 6 years since I first became a backer. Thank you again.
I Held The Line.
After the last scene, when Chris was closing the event with that huge ovation, Disco Lando was sitting next to me on the floor, he was watching Chris talk, and his face..., his face said it all to me. He was happy and proud of what was achieved. He looked so humble and in its own world, trying to absorb every single emotion of that moment. It was quite a magical experience to be there in person, at that moment, after all those years.
Thank you to everybody who was there and gave him that standing ovation - cheering on behalf of all the people who couldnt attend in person. You might fail. The odds are stacked against you - but Nobody can tell me from Chris Roberts at the top - down to every artist, engineer and dev working on this project are not working their asses off - and not because a boss is looking over their shoulder or theres a board meeting or investors call ..theyre doing it because they love the project, they want to push the tech and tools foreward - and they want to knock everybody on their asses. Dont be afraid to fail - be afraid of not trying. Win, lose or draw - my pledge is $ well spent and happily spent.
When I originally backed it was purely for Star Citizen. I honestly didn't care much about Squadron 42, but this... this is a whole new obsession now 😆
Other way around for me.
I just wanted this.
The real game. Not the tech demo.
Best 35 dollars I spend in 2012 as a veteran backer! Thank you CR!
yeah me too ^^
o7
that's very fair, considering ubisoft copy paste games go for $100 and star citizen is like 1000x more technically advanced than them
Hah, I know the feel. I got my Mustang Alpha for 25$
I didn't even know this was being created tell 2015 when a co worker told me about it. I checked it out and followed it for almost a year then decided to back it as well in 2016. So haven't been around as long as some but it's been a fun ride so far and looks to continue to be a fun ride.
Never would have imagined it would be anything like this. They managed to remaster a video game before it was even released. Looks visually stunning and exceedingly next gen. Hold the line, till then, see you in the verse.
Plenty a game have gone through a restart or a rework during their developments, most just aren't as open since they aren't as publicly funded in the first place. In many ways this is actually the most revolutionary aspect of this project. Just how open they have been.
o7
I used to be a hater, but this video showcased the very thing the entire industry had been lacking in for decades now. Innovation
Starfield looks so embarrassingly primitive compared to this.
lol this comment belongs on r/gamingcirclejerk. have you learned nothing from star citizen?
Star Citizen is finished but unpolished game tho-, but at least the big update along with Squadron 48 campaign will make this game way greater than we expected before
@@alyasVictorio It's not finished, nor polished. It's like 40% of a game at its current state.
@@alyasVictorioit's not finished in the slightest. I don't know how you came to that conclusion.
im sold, first time ive been this hyped up for a game since rdr2.
That shot of the fleet followed by the music was perfectly done.
Yo right? Made me think of bagpipes and had a flavor of history to it. A kind of subtle depth which grabs your attention because it seems out of place like a clarion call to reach out and discover why those choices were made.
The Vanduul shot at the end gives me chills!
Wait for the Ships they re flying D:

"Feature complete and entering the polish phase"
My heart skipped a beat! The last 3 years have been pretty awful, the virus, the wars, the inflation. Finally, something _great_ to look forward to. Thanks CR and team, some people have been waiting for this more so than Star Citizen, and it looks amazing. My golden ticket looks better by the week!
Golden ticket? It was for the people who registered to the site before Chris Roberts revealed that he was working on star Citizen, right?
@@Genesys1040 Correct. The OG OGs.
Hope its only a polish phase 1 year polish phase seems like a lot polish.
@@svendtang5432I'm guessing it will be about 2 years for polish and then optimisation. Fingers crossed. I've waited nearly 12 years already so a few more won't hurt me personally, and I'd prefer they nail it and not CP2077 the release! There's enough bait for haters already, without it being released as a buggy mess like the PU can tend to be. If you're a backer, whats your username and I'll add you in game. We've got nearly all the ships in our org so I'll PM you in Spektrum when the crew gets back together when there's something more stable to play.
the most sunk cost of sunk costs
I love that the player character is referred by callsign. Thats a really neat way of incorporating a blank slate "title" that fits into the setting of this game.
I love that as well, Cyberpunk did something similar with V but for me it felt a little forced at times.
I love that they are keeping the story of SQ42 a mystery too. Leaves us to discover it when it comes! I hate movie trailers that tell you the entire movie!
Well, there were spoilers in the clips...
Keep in mind that the Bishop speech happens after Vega II we see here in the opening.
tbh I just now learned who they enemies were from that last few seconds lol. Wasn't sure if it was other humans or alien creatures. Now I know.
@@zerowrath9350 We already knew the enemies though, it's not really a spoiler it's just the premise of the game. Also I'm pretty sure you're wrong about the enemy type but I'll put it in the read more if you don't want it to be spoiled.
It's both humans and aliens, those vanduul aliens who hate humans and also this weird mysterious human criminal faction that we don't know much about.

We Held The Line!
Me too, I never doubted they could pull this off. Maybe I doubted the wait time lol.
Seeing Chris Roberts gets emotional at the end when everyone was standing and clapping and cheering was an incredible thing to see. I’m happy his vision is finally becoming a reality. SQ42 and Star Citizen are truly next level pieces of technology and I’m excited to be alive in an era to witness its development and implementation. Thank you Chris Roberts and everyone who is involved in this at CIG.
Yeah, imagine being a human lightning rod for ten years lol. I was glad to see him looking healthy and well at CitCon. We all want the best for Roberts and for the dream.
Man you know it's lookin good when I didn't even know Mark Hamill was in the game but I instantly recognized his 3d character. Crazy progress!
Looks like Gary Oldman and Davos Seaworth are in there as well.
@@p1derboythey are, along with names like John Rys Davis, Mark Strong, and Henry Cavill are also on the voice actor list, it’s a frankly absurd cast list.

--m---------------------m--
Even though I'm decades older this gives me a little of the same flutters of excitement I felt when a new Wing Commander episode was nearing release. Pushing the tech envelope, more simulation behind every little thing happening around you than any game before has ever attempted. Something actually next-gen and not just lip service. I have always had that little kid in me that loves to see the next leap in gaming tech. This will be another one. And if you just happen to be a little bit older and played all the original space sims the amazing technical showcase of this game combines with an off-the-charts nostalgia factor to really make for a special level of excitement. I don't know who has it better: those who get to start here with todays incredible technology and budgets, or those who played back in the 80s and 90s and get to enjoy seeing the torch finally picked up again for real.
i''m from the 90s - and i am in love with this marvel)) so glad i backed this endeavour in 2012 and had faith in Chris
Best is, we old guys and girls can fly with Blair again. And I don't care how his name is ingame. At all. o7

Except the gun fire audio. Sounds so weak and unsatisfying
The QJ FX looks like the old FX from 2015. Proper hyped with that.

On a daily basis, it's commonly business as usual and just dealing with details and routines. But it will all still be there deeper underneath, and it will surface and release when you finally reach a milestone, checkpoint, end, or whatever. @@zayffon1325
That 26 minute video was more exciting than 26 hours of Starfield.
Why do people need to tear down other games to lift up another? One of them is an RPG, they are not similar aside from being set in space
@@irecordwithaphone1856 Because this is what Starfield claimed to be ? A single player rpg with space flight/fight, travel between planets to and from planets and fps. At least, this is how I expected starfield to be from the past few years I followed the development...
@@irecordwithaphone1856Memes
@@Hippida Starfield is pretty much exactly what it claimed to be. If you expected something else, that's on you.
@@irecordwithaphone1856 It's less the need to utilize the contrast principle, and more of an objective observation in terms of software engineering. To what extent players will be able to travel in SQ42, we don't know yet. However, if Star Citizen's object permanence is anything to go by, I assume player freedom will exceed that of Starfield. A game so mired in loading screens, you'd think the design document was created for an early 2010s game, like Skyrim. Except there were no loading screens during exploration, outside of entering caves, and that's the problem. Skyrim was designed with the Creation Engine's limitations in mind. Starfield was not, serving only to highlight the Creation Engine's limitations post-launch. Many were hoping for seamless transitions when entering a planets atmosphere from space, the ability to seamlessly explore a planet, accessible interiors within larger structure without disruptions of any kind, and, at the very least, better facial animations. Additionally, Bethesda fans love BGS games for their focus on fun, engaging exploration. Without it, you're left with Bethesda's weakest skillsets, like quest design, world building, dialogue options, combat, narrative directions, and so on. All these weak links are supposed to serve the exploration, which lacks momentum due to the sheer amount of loading screens you'll have to navigate. Not to mention the lack of engagement, considering the lifeless nature of randomly generated "planets", making hand crafted locations a rarity in a sea of redundancy. In Skyrim, you'd stumble across a ruin, or an abandoned mine, transitioning from a single loading screen to the inside. Maybe it contained a story, or some mystery pertaining to its original inhabitants, with riches lying at the end of it all. In Starfield, you get close enough to a "planet", pull up the fast-travel menu, select to land on a specific _tile,_ go through a loading screen, watch a cutscene of your ship automatically landing on the planet for you, and you spend the next however long _on foot,_ until finally reaching the boundary of that tile. At which point you'll be forced to venture back into your ship, watch a cutscene of your ship taking off automatically, wait through another loading screen, go back to the fast-travel menu in space, select another tile, and repeat the process all over again. If that sounds monotonous, that's because, mechanically speaking, it quite literally is.
Welp...I guess I'm gonna have to start preparing everyone for the lore then...
Loved your video on the break down
I'm looking forward to that, thank you for your work.

This is simply incredible, never seen in the entire history of video games !
I signed up and paid up 11 years ago. Been in the hospital three times this year so hoping the game comes out in 2024 as I can only hold the line for so long haha :). It looks incredible!!
this looks miles better than anything i saw in my 50 hours of Starfield
Star citizen videos are much better than any silly game for sure.
this is a actual "10 years (or whatever) in the making" unlike Starfield which is a lazy mod of skyrim with a dry story and characters.
@@Spillow-C it's even funnier when you know that Starfield took 8 years to make...
@@KaptifLaDistillerie i dont believe that honestly, you dont feel that when you play the game, they probably make it in 3-4 years or something, or 8 with a lot of stops and problems during development, anyway its just a Todd lie
The timing of this is hilarious lol, almost like "Ok Bethesda had their chance. Now here's a real space game."
ZERO risk of that Cutlass spotting them at 6:16.. everyone knows you cant see anything below the horizon line in a Cutty! 😅 #MEGAMFDS
Glad to have pledged. I can wait forever. I held the line 😄
forever granted
I literally shed a tear watching this. Thank you CIG, thank you Chris Roberts, and everyone else who backed this project.
My father got Star Citizen and also this game for me. He recently passed from a heart attack, and he said he was waiting on playing both SC and SQ42 until release and or until a German translation. Now, localisations and SQ42 are becoming a thing. It feels like a bad joke, but SQ42 and SC have become something more than a game for me. Something... sentimental. Thanks Chris for finally making my dreams come true.
o7, see you in the 'verse. It's been a great journey to this point so far!

❤🙏

Hold the Line for him, then play the game for him. o7
Sorry for your loss, I know we all will be in tears. After released of Sq42
What a difference for the facial animation cinematic comparisons. Absolutely amazing!
Thank you so mutch to make this real!!!!!
Woah, this is actually getting close to being finished? I wasn't interested in this back then, but now I'm really looking forward to this!
Their target is at the end of the year.
I held the line and have been ridiculed for it. I knew this day would come and I'm blown away. Congrats Chris and the team. How much you cared came across. See you all in the verse.
Well... You can say that when you ACTUALLY play it. Right now, you watched a cinematic. Kinda like you did a decade ago.
Ummmm don't celebrate too early bud. I've been here since 2015.....when it releases, we party!! Til then.... 🙏 🤫
Its great that people are happy but why celebrate and say we held the line if the game isn't in your hands,feels like a endless cycle
As someone who loved Wing Commander back in the day this is the stuff of dreams!!
Same, man. That was one of my very first games. I can't wait to play this.
I still use the same callsign "fry" from wing commander 1 in 1994 :) i feel same
We're the "old men" now, from the Terran Confederation, now the United Empire of Earth.
Long live the Concordia!
This gave me the same goosebumps when I first played EVE Online and watched "I was there!"
I am so proud of you guys and it looks amazing!! I cannot wait to play it
And so many people doubted this game coming to fruition... Look at what CIG has achieved. I am super excited to see what SC and SQ42 brings to the table as it progresses further down the road to completion. United in purpose.
Incredible! We held the line.
The sheer amount of Battlestar Galactica love in those cinematics was insane!
hahahah i thought the same thing!!!
Rewatching the 2004 series now. My top sci-fi show ever
This a literal movie cast
so where the old wing commanders they had FMV's like sega CD games
I missed this, that feeling of game DEVs actually surprising you and exceeding your expectations, it just never happens any more.
This must be the best thing that has ever been. My expectations - shattered. Thank you for this.
o7
Starfield is a joke
They showed you short gameplays - not the cinematics - and you think this will come out soon? Wrong! xD
It has been a long road with many ups and downs, but we are finally here. I'm very glad you all chose to take your time and do it right, it's been an amazing journey these 8 years I have followed the game and I cannot express enough my gratitude and amazement at what you have all been able to achieve! Looking forward to seeing the features pass over to Star Citizen and getting my hands on Squadron 42 when it finishes its last phases.
Best Citizencon to date! To all the devs and event organizers, have some well deserved rest, and thank you for holding the line! o7
Years ago people were critizing this project because of its immense scope and now they have what seems like such a delieverable product 10 years later, with that said hopefully RSI isnt raising the bar too high for themselves with what experience this could possibly be. Im not expecting this to be the best thing or "worth the wait", but i can for for sure see these 10 years and millions of dollers paying off for the backers(and hopefully investors) of bother Squadron 42 and Star Citizen. Its just insane to see the SC being worked up from conceptual soup into a more realized thing, and now Squadron 42 as well which seems like its decently cohesive narritive with good NavSpec/ Fps gameplay (perosnal opinion but SC ships feel way better then anything ive played before.).
Insane to see how far you've come, achieving this makes the time well worth it. i'm sure there are some big publishers out there feeling the heat of the competition you're about to bring to the table. I would tell you to not let anything bring you down but you've already demonstrated just that.
I held the line 😜
You didn't hold any line you just threw money at something and waited. Some of you are falling really hard for their marketing beats
@@KryternNo, we spent years supporting a project believe in, and are watching it grow and develop into the game every other developer didn’t have the guts to make. And speaking for myself, I’ve enjoyed every moment of it.
Held the line means we put up with the whining naysayers for a decade.
@@Krytern i was just playing off of what roberts said about 'holding the line'. you tell yourself you 'fell hard for marketing beats' everytime you buy a new PC / car / clothing?
We were honored to be there at CitizenCon to witness this miraculous moment, thank you! ❤
Really? Honored (US-spelling!) to be at a nerd show? How sad your life must be.
It won't release for another 5 years or so.
What moment? Another video and no release date
When I backed this 11 years ago I thought Squadron 42 was just going to be another chapter in the wing commander genre but this looks like it is going to be so much more. Can't wait to get my hands on it :)
You will probably be dead, probably your grandchildren will play it who knows.
It's not a chapter, it's the start of a whole new franchaise.
Gimli's in this game?! Awesome!
"The impossible, or nothing."
Yours obstinately

Been here since the begining, and have no intention to leave any time soon. Thank you to all the Teams who made this dream possible. Rock on folks. 💓
Same here mate!
Same. Day 1 (well 2 because the servers had crashed on 1) supporter. Really feeling the full circle finally coming around.
Absolutely full circle indeed!@@MichaelDavidWiller
