Heeeeee's BACK!!!!

eve is 500,000 subs and growing. With a very detailed universe and 10 years of history, it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Competition is good, Freelancer and Wingcommander were great. One reason why EVE has been so successful is that there has been no competition in the Sandbox Starship genre. (Starwars and Star Trek don't count).

I've had my eye on this game for awhile.

It's the growing part that would the part to worry about though. But at least this game is quite some time away.

But watch the video. I can potentially naviagate a gate to a new system and it will be named after me.

That game is too similar to eve almost copyrighted in my opinion.

So any game set in space with spaceships = EVE?

If anything it looks similar to EVR, but EVR also looks similar to basically any space fighting "simulator"

Also, being able to walk around on ships and build your own ships / get them introduced into the actual universe as persistent ships (if they're well received)

EVE is too much spreadsheet for me, to be entirely honest. An actual immersive experience like the one being teased at here would sell me pretty quickly.

I'm a backer for this on Kickstarter. I fully plan on ditching the EVE Universe for a time when this is released

If I had income I would definitely throw down on this, but it's on my radar now for sure.

"Say goodbye to the class-based MMO leveling systems. Star Citizen doesn't introduce arbitrary limitations to drive players to continue to play: it creates an experience they will want to come back to, where their own skill is the limit of their abilities. "

That definitely caught my attention. The whole thing is...unf...but, it's also currently just a concept, so we shall see how the reality plays out. It looks pretty sex though

Dem price tags though, ouch lol. Money will be the hitch, either in game currency or out. Either way....the level of immersion....holy ****..

I just want to know who was the person that dropped the 15K to get everything.

Not really.

People play Eve because they are physically uncoordinated.

You see it in the eve people "playing" Dust514.

WOW, that looks great! thanks for showing this to me!

I just hope they pull it through. I've seen enough games that dream to big to see that plans don't always come through :-/

But I wish them luck, I'm really pulling for them!

I'll stick around in DUST for my FPS fix.

This is Chris Roberts, so im very confident. He has put together the team for this game. I mean this guy is a staple of this particular genre.

Honestly the only thing i could think of stopping them is funding. But then i read how they did a livestream an raised 5M dollars for it and wanted to push a reveal of a new ship if it got to 5.5. Needless to say they got the extra 500K. Thats how much people like his games.

Thats awesome news! It just shows how bland and boring the game industry is getting if people are willing to spend a lot of money on a project that they love the sound of.

Here's my take on it, based on my impressions so far.

Star Citizen:
- Hands on combat sim
- Strong, directied single player experience
- Persistent multiplayer universe to explore, fight and trade in
- Incredible graphics if you have a powerful rig

Elite: Dangerous:
- Mind-boggingly enormous persistent multplayer universe to explore, fight and trade in
- Hands on combat sim
- Very open-ended with little direction

EvE: Online
- Detached point and click combat
- Persistent multiplayer universe to explore, fight and trade in
- Very open-ended with little direction
- The ultimate sandbox toolkit

Also, EvE is a full-fledged MMO with all that entails. The other two may turn out to be more like "hybrid" MMOs, but we'll see.

Let's not forget that Star Citizen is being developed from the ground up with full Oculus Rift support built in. So, that EVR tech demo everyone got excited about... imagine that, but by a studio that we can expect to actually deliver a good game.

They hint at FPS boarding parties, so who knows.

I'd stick with DUST either way unless it really tanks, but still

Some info pulled from the site
ECONOMY AND PLAYER IMPACT...
No more churning out gold: the Star Citizen universe will have a fully simulated game economy driven by supply and demand. The commodities and credits in the game will change the way the universe evolves in dramatic ways, shaped by the player's actions. Failing to mine raw materials means a planet will stop producing missiles and players will compete to arm their ships; mining a surplus will decrease costs. Everything from space pirate attacks to planetary disasters to coordinated efforts from player groups will have a noticeable impact on how goods work in Star Citizen. Everything in turn generates jobs for players and NPCs alike, from planets hiring mercenaries to restore their supply lines to additional haulers to move surplus goods where they're needed.
