Thanks for the words of encouragement, everybody. I'm shocked and numb from the unexpected attention and praise this video is getting on UA-cam and Reddit. This was a pet project to learn Premiere and de-stress from quarantine. I only expected my curious co-worker to watch this, which is who I made it for. And now, all of this happened... I have some video scripts languishing on my desktop; I didn't have the confidence to push them to fruition. Perhaps it's time to dust them off and get to work.
Miaku, this is an incredible video - probably the finest one I’ve seen to date. I only signed up to Star Citizen 3 months ago during lockdown and, like your work in Premiere, this game is the ideal de-stress during quarantine. Well done and I look forward to seeing more if your work if you’re willing to share.
This video is amazing, I love your voice and I like the way you talk. Visuals are amazing and overall the production quality is 100%. I will follow you from here on awaiting on what amazing things you make next. Keep it up.
It's fantastic work. It's criminal you haven't gotten even more views. You keep making videos like this, you'll be one of the best Star Citizen content creators. I'd put you up there with Morphologist which is very mighty praise in my book. Make videos that we want to show our friends why they should pick up Star Citizen.

@@TheAdoringFan Well I'd imagine that they do use some commerical GPUs, but I'd see them using things meant more for work station, rendering, 3D modeling. They'd have quattros along that line or sometimes more powerful.
@@erbse1178 Do you have any idea how difficult a huge and detailed game like this is to create? Do you want a quality game or a rushed project? Let them develop for how ever long they need to they don't need to be rushed they need breaks and they don't live to serve you like robots. Plus the game already looks amazing and it isn't even complete so I'm sure you can find something to do instead of complaining like an ungrateful child.
Keep doing what you are doing, it is awesome. Those of us who see your vision are in it for the long haul and will happily share this ride with you... Miaku, an absolutely outstanding video...
@@derangedbeetle1015, exactly. Just look at what happened with Cyberpunk 2077 because of fans who kept complaining how it's taking too long to release.

@@cadmanfox there used to be a bug with the Avenger Titan where you'd get locked in the little cabin/kitchen between the cockpit and cargo bay. The automatic doors just wouldn't open sometimes. The only way to get out was to jump backwards through one of the doors and it would usually glitch you through the door and fix it. I think the fixed it at some point, although, I sold my Avenger a while back, so I'm not 100% positive.

@@kristopherjames2404 bland exploration, no roadmap or lunch date in sight, and literally not a single popular UA-camr even remembers it, and you think I'm just mad about the price tag. (By the way the price alone, there are literal ships that are $1, 000 or more in cash, pretty confident that's the first red flag)
@@kristopherjames2404 oh so you're saying only people who pay for the ships get to travel, that's another red flag and somehow can't see you have that, how funny. (Again just a bland game that people support because they're delusional with their money)
This was honestly pretty therapeutic. You’re like the David Attenborough of Star Citizen. I’d like to see more content on each individual planet and the landscapes of each.
Step 1: Win the lottery. Step 2: Buy a house far from busy cities but close enough for modern conveniences. Step 3: Play Star Citizen for the rest of your life.
perhaps we could build a Star Citizen community, in the west, where the bandwidth and sandwiches are plentiful, and the current events have little influence.
I've never played SC but I've followed it with fair to middling interest, and your video captivated me. Keep doing these slice of life videos; they're well-shot and the narration is top tier. Keep up the good work, amigo
Beware tho, that as of now, SC is still mostly a sight seeing simulator with only barebone gameplay and frequent crashes that often erase your entire inventory, making any economic progression pointless.
@@O-.-O Granted, but don't forget that they basically restarted the project ~6.5 years ago, when they completely reset the scope of the project. Furthermore, games like Red Dead Redemption or GTA have 1000+ people working on them for 5-8 years. Star Citizen had less than 500 for most the time.
@@BlueHans i play SC nearly on a daily base, at least more than once a week. Had no wipe for the last 7-8 months. Sure wipes can always happen, but since they introduced "Long time Persistance" i had no more wipes.

True if you consider non cinematic content. I mean Morphologis can speak of anything in his videos but no matter what the scenery is absolutely gorgeous. But if you want to see the most cinematographic stat citizen video I've ever seen, go check this out : ua-cam.com/video/Xl9Oi_Tm8ds/v-deo.html Cuz it's the most beautiful cinematic video I've seen on this game !
@Flare Aaaand here is our obligatory 'SC IS A SCAM REEEEEEE' comment. I was wondering when you'd show up. By the way, if you never backed this 'scam', how would you know about the 'T-posing AI' and all the other bugs this game has?
@Flare That's kinda cringe bro, not gonna lie. I never bought a ship either, only have the basic package so I could play the game, but you are welcome to believe what you want. The glitches though aren't as prevalent as these would make you believe, at least they weren't when I played about a year ago.
@Flare No, the game is not better now. It has bugs, which is why I refused to give them more money than that initial pledge of 45 bucks. But of course you, a random commenter on youtube seem to know better what I purchased than myself somehow. Apparently you are my bank's manager or something. By the way, sorry if my comment praising a guy's FUCKING EDITING QUALITY really hurt your feelings. I never even mentioned what he says or thinks, I just praised his editing and cinematography. But you do you.
Don't. It's a scam. 8 years. Almost no gameplay loops. Few generic missions. Buggy mess. Single map you can play on. 60 players on the map. Micro-transactions up to 27,000$. Squadron 42, single player component not shown for years because of "spoilers" (somehow not a problem for any other company - only CIG, the scammers). It made millions for the owners of this scam and backers got big d**k in their mouth. Game is maybe 20% completed at this point (and they spend 300 million dollars to arrive at that point in 8 years) and what you have is a buggy nearly unplayable mess. Just don't. There will be free week soon in november. Just by yourself just how shit this project is after 8 years.
@@gorylek198 woah, did you buy all the $27,000 of microtransactions? You seem a little butthurt for someone who has to pay a maximum of $45 to play the game Also, i see that argument everywhere, and its incredibly easy to counter: 1: the game they were making in 2013 is not the game they're making now, midway through 2015 they massively increased their scope and goals for the game, leading to them having ot reinvent most of it 2: Their dev numbers are miniscule compared to other *established* game companies like EA and Rockstar. CIG began with just 13 devs and is now estimated to be at 600, a far cry from the thousands of devs larger companies have 3: CIG is attempting something massive that no other company has had the balls to start, as stated in the beggining of the video, if you bothered watching it 4: Every tool to create the game, backsystems, planets, textures, models; had to be handcrafted from scratch, unlike larger companies that had already made resources to modify and fit into their new game.
@@gorylek198 You are a very funny, but obviously angry person. Just looking at videos like these really shows how "shit this project is" lol. Move on...
Holy crap! I’ve been playing SC for almost a year now but NEVER have I seen anyone put such a well scripted effort in showcasing the pure awesomeness of this marvel. Well done Miaku! You’ve earned my subscription.🙂
this is hands down the best showcase of star citizens beauty and ambition, but also shows that the devs arent lying and this is truly becoming a reality, thank you, and please make more
I definitely don't think they are lieing about the game they are creating. I do think they have in some instances lied, though, but it's not the first time a developer has done so. I think this game is amazing, and I'm so glad they are still making money. Because they are spending a lot on development; this is already the most expensive game I've ever heard of, and when you play, I think it shows. Of course it's very lacking in some ways still.
@@arjanschokking3949 A lot of people liked where this was heading and then found out where it is actually going and got refunds. I held on, despite being an early backer.
You have a talent man. The way you've structured and filmed this video is absolutely perfect, and has an element of the cinematic to it as well. Great stuff.
I'm back again to watch this awesome video, and marvel at how far we've come in just 3 years! Server meshing right around the corner, cloud tech to rival MS 2020, new HUD and UI incoming, insane character creation leap, SQ 42 in final polishing...I held the line!
I don't understand why people are upset by this game not being fully released as yet. It is very clear what the developers are aiming for and the complexities behind it. Regular AAA games take years to be developed...what do we expect with this kind of project? Star Citizen is definitely something to enjoy during its development, and to look forward to upon completion. We should simply enjoy the journey. Awesome video my brother.
Some people see the fact that someone is doing things as an opportunity to impose their opinions as if it makes them important. It's vicarious authority; they're parasites
You don't understand why people are upset a game that's been in development &alpha bug hunt for over a decade &half a BILLION dollars later isn't even CLOSE to finished &is still a complete &utter mess?? Really? 😂💀
@@o-wolf technically the current iteration of star citizen has only been in development since about 2015, since that was when the project, at the communities request, was scaled up and required lots of new novel tech. The reason it's still pretty rough is because the dev team has largely been focused on squadron 42, the single player portion, which is feature complete actually.
Great video man! I recall the first time I stepped outside into the vacuum of space in 2013 or so.. it was amazing that we could just exit our ship wherever we wanted. It was such a departure from X3, or Freelancer, Darkstar One, EVE, Elite etc. Felt the same thrill when you went outside of your 325a :)
Really good dude! :D I came from a Kotaku article (500m raised) where somebody posted your link and yeah, you did this so well you hyped me up for a game I've been playing for years already AND taught me some stuff I didn't know about.. The vegetation changes in valleys/peaks
This looks like a fantastic piece of documentary. Damn. Subbed for sure. Great content, looking forward to MORE!!! Also I love your narration. It's just so perfect.

I was legitimately astonished when I checked and this was one of only two videos on your channel. Not surprised the other is about orchestration, great job on the sound design.
Know how you feel chief, such a peaceful medium and voice over to let your eyes digest everything you see. Been a backer since Jan 2014 and those views and those shots above ArcCorp still give me spine chills of optimism and hope for the future of game development. Might sound a bit wishy washy but have nothing but patience and respect to Chris for bringing such an awesome community of people together. I'm 27 and found myself cruising with an young lass of 67 on a Hammerhead one time! Absolute blast and not something I'll ever find in all my years of Halo, GoW, CoD, Tekken and so on. Truly is a precious thing. Hardest thing I've found is getting people to get a pc to play it lol. Once you log in. Despite how featureless it has been in the past. You just know it wont be something you 'one and done'. TL;DR I agree entirely bud.
This game is a scam and you guys have been suckered in. They release enough content to keep you jacked up to the matrix - feeding it your coins for "special ships" etc. This game has been going since what, 2010? You are in a cult and need help.
@@stephenlyon1358 from 2010 until 2015 they were only initiating the project with little funds. Since recently they have over 400 Million USD and i think 7 Studios around the US and Europe. Explain how this is a scam. GTAs Pay2Win & Cyberpunks falls promises are a scam. But the game that has literally built an entire fully simulated star system from the ground up? I dont think so xD
wow... all perfect. The editing of the video, the music (just a little little bit less louder) , your voice. This video is super nice. The transition beetween the scene with the music is epic and smooth, the captures in the game are beautiful... let's see next :)
Actually it hasn’t been that long, it only seems long because we knew about this game before work even started on it. Most games aren’t announced until years into production.
As someone who just started playing Star Citizen about 6 months ago; you have nailed this video! The massive scale of this game and beauty is something to behold. There is no other game like it and its not even close. I'm so excited to see what the future brings to the verse. Great job and beautiful cinematography!
This was so well made, when I went to scroll down I expected it to be made by the official yt channel, not some random channel under 500 subs. This video is amazing!!
You have an amazing skill for this. I'm fairly new to star Citizen but I've watched an embarrassing number of videos, and I can say your cinematography, choice of music, even your voice are so fitting for the genre. I really enjoyed this and sincerely hope you make more videos soon. We will be watching you with great interest.
Extremely well put together video. Cinematography, music choice, narration and editing shows a lot of planning and care was put into it. Feels like a proper documentary :) Love it!
Your video just popped up in my feed... Was interesting to click on... It was REALLY well done and something I would want to pass along to non-star citizen folks as a tool to show them the awe of the game's worlds. Very well done, and very well shot in-game as well. I have no idea how anyone could have the patience and skill to shoot camera moves like this in-game this well. BUT... I was blown away by the fact that this was basically the only thing you have even loaded. Talk about going from zero to hero in one step. Great job!! Keep em coming. Love your documentary style. Would love to see more researched and presented aspects of the verse like this.
I enjoy playing SC weekly for over 6 years. I've gotten my money back many times over in entertainment and its still not finished. Well done videos like this do a great job explaining why this game is so special to many space sim fans and where we are going.
As in paid for? I pay cig, not the other way around. And I love this game too. Only elite or Eve online come close to the feeling I'm a pilot of cool advanced spacecraft in a multiplayer game. And both of those games are missing tons of the things I love in star citizen right now.
@@thomasrial4444 A month ago, I didn't think I'd have fun until the game was done or in beta. But I logged in, in a patient mood, and learned how to play. I joined an org, had some fun with other players, and they bought me ships in game. One guy couldn't even afford a game package (45$), and someone gifted him one.
I actually hate it when people make the points "the game has taken 9 years loool" or "it has taken 350million". Let me put both of them into perspective. 1. I will use the development of Anthem, as an example of the "time argument". Development on Anthem began in 2012. Not only did it begin at the same time as SC started fundraising, they already had multiple studios ready and running with employees and work routines. They had a running start. That is also the time when actual development began on Bioware's Anthem, then known as project Dylan, since BioWare stated they were aiming to create "the Bob Dylan of video games - one that would be referenced for years to come". Little did they know, it would be referenced for years to come, but not in the context they might have wanted it to be referenced in. Regardless, everyone knows by now the technical and creative mess that Anthem was. Most modern game projects are started over 6 years before we ever even hear of them for the first time. This is done because often the project dies to lack of funding interest, the directors losing interest in the vision, etc. And also because the project goals can radically change in those first 6 years. We as the consumers are only given sneak peeks and vague cinematic trailers at the very last phases of development. We aren't told about the failures, delays, cut content, changed plans, and canned projects. 2. The money part. Many people lose the scale when we talk about millions, or hundreds of millions. 2019-12, CIG had a total of 604 staff working on Star Citizen. CIG also doesn't abuse interns by hiring them for less than the living standard, forcing them to work overtime without pay, and paying them with in-game goods that they have to even pay the taxes for. An example I have, is something close to me as a 10+ year WoW player. Activision Blizzard does all this mentioned above, they made record profits and fired all community managers, QA testers. They pay their employees so little, they are starving. Only the big shots get paid well. And exponentially better too. 350million is the number brought up for Star Citizen to give shock value right? Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick pays himself 200million BONUSES yearly, on top of his tiny 80 million yearly paycheck. Activision Blizzard raises billions yearly, that money does not go into making the games better. That money does not go into hiring mods to ban botters and gold sellers. That money goes into the pockets of the CEO that strangles the creativity out of the games, and replaces it with greedy money grabbing in-game purchases. In contrast, I'm fine giving CIG 50€ every now and then to upgrade my pledge ship. At least Chris Roberts doesn't pay himself bonuses for millions, or hundreds of millions. He hires more staff to make the game better. That's what I respect about this project more than anything. Not only that but the devs are not whipped to work overtime without pay or "for an ingame ship they have to pay the taxes for". That's the human cost we as consumers don't give a shit about and ignore when we wear a 3€ T-shirt made by the bloody and sweaty hands of 10-year olds working 15hours a day in some shitty factory. That's the price we ignore when we expect a videogame of epic scale to be made in less than 6 years.
So so so good. Absolutely captivating views you were able to pull off. I love the SC music being used, I love the text fonts matching the planets. Great stuff.
I'm new to Star Citizen and all I can say is WOW just WOW... This is just AWESOME Maiku. Your cinematography and narrating skills are outstanding my friend. I just watched it 3 times in a row. Twice for my personal pleasure and a third time to show my mother what this game was all about. She had the same feeling I had and loved it. So glad I came across your video. Just subscribed and will be browsing through your video content, Great job and please keep them coming.. Best regards.....

@@stephenlyon1358 I don't give a flying fuck. As of now, I've enjoyed the money I've put in to the game. Don't like the game? That's fine. You don't need to buy it. Also, google "cult". You're using it wrong.
I love this. I watch it regularly and also show it to people who don't know what Star Citizen is. This is an amazing video, please do more if you can, your work is absolutely incredible!
Honestly I'd rather have 3 to 4 solar systems with around 4 planets each with cities and civilizations and having space stations or asteroid mining bases in the solar systems each system containing their own unique quests/jobs and unique factions, I feel like 100+ solar systems is a bit too overkill and will get boring overtime.
Problem is they promised exploration gameplay. They promised that you would have dedicated ships for long voyages into parts of space that have never been visited before. To chart jump points that yeet you through spacetime until you reach a planet no other player has ever set foot on. Sure you could explore your 12-16 planets and moons but, 1. you wouldn't be the first one to do so, and 2. you would be switching to mostly ground exploration, limiting your use of your awesome exploration vessel. 3. You would never be too far from civilisation and that wouldn't be a very star treky feeling if yaknowwhatImean (if you run out of coffee on your exploration mission and you just send your intern in a snub to get some more, because the nearest truckstop is just one jump point away)
Good point, earlier exploration argument is also valid, just hope there will be a reason to explore. I played No Man's Sky for a while and quite quickly it turns out everything's the same and repetitive, so even 1000 systems are pointless if there's no motivation to go and visit them, nothing to do there which would be justified.
Yes. The biggest reason I stopped playing Elite Dangerous was because it's 100000000 solar systems were all procedurally generated and without any personality. It felt like I was in a very artificial environment. I have my doubts that Star Citizen will be able to pull off 100+ solar systems without having the same problems.
The one which is in game is enough imho. They should focus on those other things, npcs, missions ai... performamce... Add more missions and continuously work on other systems later. From what I saw and tried so far current system suffice for a very long time if its complete
Dear Miaku, your video is my go to video for showing people what this project is all about. There are a lot of heads turning to Star Citizen like never before as of late. So much media and great coverage these days. Yet I cannot help but wonder what another Star Citizen video from your little creative process would be like. It has been such a long time. If you happen to read this, for which I thank you if you did in advance, I kindly ask a reply, if... I may inquire what has halted further creations on this project? Yours kindly, a big fan of your unique approach and style.
This was fantastic. This is going to be the video I point to when somebody asks, "What is Star Citizen", or "Why Star Citizen". The editing, the explanation, the great voice work, camera work, all great. Capturing even the small simple things like the flowers... Fantastic. Out of all the videos explaining Star Citizen, yours nails it the best. I do hope you make more videos, because this ranks right up there with some of the best. Only Morphologist gets to this level of quality. I really, really hope you do more videos. Make it into a series. There's things like land vehicles, hover bikes, space stations, food, shops, cold weather affecting your visor and health, FPS weapons, caves, prison, etc. that make this game stand out from other games. My only critiques is...I feel you missed some stuff. Showing the scale of places like New Babbage, the size of space stations, or the size of giant ships like the 890 Jump compared to your 300i. Seeing people ride elevators down, walk along the cities. I'd also point out some of these ships like the Javelin (480 meters in length) are even bigger than even the original starship enterprise (288 meters). There will be ships 2800 meters (1.7 miles), that's nearly twice the size of an Imperial Star Destroyer (1600 meters/ 1 mile). But unlike other games, everything is modeled inside. Down to the sinks, toilets, and engines. But it does say 'a Taste of Star Citizen's Scale' so....hopefully we'll do more in the future. Once again, amazing job. I really would love to see more.
I played this game a few days during the free flight event and it was a load of fun just playing around with all those massive ships and fvking huuuuge space stations. Only if it had more content like missions etc.... xc
Truly and whole heartedly, thank you. Its content creators like you who keep our beloved community growing and stretching ever further. In this one video you captured some of my absolute favorite pieces that make up Star Citizen. I'd love to offer some of my larger ships like the Carrack or Reclaimer if you're looking to make another video that touches on the scale and depth of the ships themselves. It could be redundant but for me, it never ceases to put a smile on my face when I call my carrack and walk into the hanger to be greeted by the massive beast that it is. Simply amazing. Or the new MSR and its smuggler heritage. Let me know and I would be happy to loan them to you
A lot of people always joke about how this game will never release or how the devs spend times on thing they shouldn’t be, but god damn is this game intricate and detailed
Lol, right now elite dangerous is on the same path as Star Citizen with a fraction of the budget and their alpha already looks very promising, in a few years ED will already have a fully set game released for all while SC is struggling to beta test a few planets for the next couple years while scamming people out of their money. I should also mention that the ED dev team only has a fraction of the budget. I should also mention that small game companies with less than a dozen devs have already proven that anyone with the skill and dedication can create a full fledged game without tens of millions of dollars and still get done within 2-4 years on average

I've been following Star Citizen's development for quite a while now. I remember seeeing this video pop up in my recommended back sometime in Decmber 2020, so about a month after it was released. Since then... it's popped back up in my recommended quite a few times. Each time I've been drawn back to watch it. The cinematography and narration and gameplay showcase is all so beautiful to watch. I don't know if I love this video because I love Star Citizen, or because it's a damn well made video (most likely a mix of both). I've lost count of how many times I've watched it and each time I've enjoyed watching.
This was so beautifully done. Every bit of its video, music, and your voice over are well at top tier. The only downside was it was to short. I could watch an hour long extended version of this. Hint, hint, wink, wink... Now that Crusader is coming in maybe an updated llllooonnngggeeerrr video is in the future??? Pretty please!

There's one magnitude they have surely stretched to the confines of patience: Time.
Wrong. Google it: there are MANY games that took 10+ years and none of them had halfways the scope of SC nor did they had to start with 40 people, getting up to 500+. Really... the information is out there, google it. The ONLY thing that is different: now you know how tedious game development really is. But it was never that different, not for Cyberpunk, not for RDR nor GTA. They all took over 8 years.
@@Grimshak81 This is true, however most of that dev time may have been on the drawing board and not actual coding. SC has had near 10 years of coding behind it and the game is nowhere near anything that remotely resembles a full game. The development pace seems very slow. It feels like they are spending more time on the visual fidelity of the game rather than actual gameplay. I would much rather see them produce more systems rather than some tech which simulates humidity based on calculations of how it is on earth.... In my view that is just wrong priorities and I really don't think that CR is the right man for the job. He can't lead and produce an actual product. At least it feels like that.
@@Grimshak81 Cyberpunk did NOT take 8 years, where is everyone getting this information? The last piece of content for the Witcher 3 released August 2016. Immediately after Cyberpunk started full development. That is not even close to 8 years.

I'm pretty sure they have a sociologist team to confuse buyers and backers. Kinda like Growth hacking They don't care selling a scam as long as they don't lose lawsuits or money.
@@amthx4005 All they are consistently releasing are new ships, which they put up for sale for limited amount of times, with limited quantities to create fake scarcity so they can sell them to the blind retards who keep paying them.

@@robertmiller-vi9oh if I'm not mistaken Robert's also has a history of not finishing games. I'd love for this game to finish development, but after all this time, it isn't even a fraction of what they want it to be. You'd be better off settling with elite dangerous.
@@jakoda2514 elite dangerous is pretty disappointing at times too, huge lack of content and variation, not to mention awful balancing issues and misleading promises from developers.

Breathtaking cinematography. Clearly a lot of love went into this video. The scale in this game is almost impossible to convey, until you actually try it out for yourself that is, at which point it just messes with your head.
Bro... I bought a game package and extra ship in 2015... haven't played for 4 years... the game is so much more now (November 2022). Amazing video and does the game justice even tho it was 2 years ago. Well done. People need to know about this game. It's amazing.
Thanks for the words of encouragement, everybody. I'm shocked and numb from the unexpected attention and praise this video is getting on UA-cam and Reddit. This was a pet project to learn Premiere and de-stress from quarantine. I only expected my curious co-worker to watch this, which is who I made it for. And now, all of this happened... I have some video scripts languishing on my desktop; I didn't have the confidence to push them to fruition. Perhaps it's time to dust them off and get to work.
i would def love to see some more content from this channel that vid was great keep up the work now!
Miaku, this is an incredible video - probably the finest one I’ve seen to date. I only signed up to Star Citizen 3 months ago during lockdown and, like your work in Premiere, this game is the ideal de-stress during quarantine.

Beware tho, that as of now, SC is still mostly a sight seeing simulator with only barebone gameplay and frequent crashes that often erase your entire inventory, making any economic progression pointless.

@Flare Aaaand here is our obligatory 'SC IS A SCAM REEEEEEE' comment. I was wondering when you'd show up. By the way, if you never backed this 'scam', how would you know about the 'T-posing AI' and all the other bugs this game has?
@Flare That's kinda cringe bro, not gonna lie. I never bought a ship either, only have the basic package so I could play the game, but you are welcome to believe what you want. The glitches though aren't as prevalent as these would make you believe, at least they weren't when I played about a year ago.
@Flare No, the game is not better now. It has bugs, which is why I refused to give them more money than that initial pledge of 45 bucks. But of course you, a random commenter on youtube seem to know better what I purchased than myself somehow. Apparently you are my bank's manager or something. By the way, sorry if my comment praising a guy's FUCKING EDITING QUALITY really hurt your feelings. I never even mentioned what he says or thinks, I just praised his editing and cinematography. But you do you.
I've been with this Star Citizen project since the start and seeing this presentation made me want to go out and buy it again, well done.
Don't. It's a scam. 8 years. Almost no gameplay loops. Few generic missions. Buggy mess. Single map you can play on. 60 players on the map. Micro-transactions up to 27,000$. Squadron 42, single player component not shown for years because of "spoilers" (somehow not a problem for any other company - only CIG, the scammers). It made millions for the owners of this scam and backers got big d**k in their mouth. Game is maybe 20% completed at this point (and they spend 300 million dollars to arrive at that point in 8 years) and what you have is a buggy nearly unplayable mess. Just don't. There will be free week soon in november. Just by yourself just how shit this project is after 8 years.
@@gorylek198 woah, did you buy all the $27,000 of microtransactions? You seem a little butthurt for someone who has to pay a maximum of $45 to play the game
Also, i see that argument everywhere, and its incredibly easy to counter:
1: the game they were making in 2013 is not the game they're making now, midway through 2015 they massively increased their scope and goals for the game, leading to them having ot reinvent most of it
2: Their dev numbers are miniscule compared to other *established* game companies like EA and Rockstar. CIG began with just 13 devs and is now estimated to be at 600, a far cry from the thousands of devs larger companies have
3: CIG is attempting something massive that no other company has had the balls to start, as stated in the beggining of the video, if you bothered watching it
4: Every tool to create the game, backsystems, planets, textures, models; had to be handcrafted from scratch, unlike larger companies that had already made resources to modify and fit into their new game.
@@gorylek198 Lol why the hatred? Did you lose someone valuable because of CIG?

I definitely don't think they are lieing about the game they are creating. I do think they have in some instances lied, though, but it's not the first time a developer has done so. I think this game is amazing, and I'm so glad they are still making money. Because they are spending a lot on development; this is already the most expensive game I've ever heard of, and when you play, I think it shows. Of course it's very lacking in some ways still.

amazing, good work, this is my new favorite SC video to share with potential new citizens
I don't understand why people are upset by this game not being fully released as yet. It is very clear what the developers are aiming for and the complexities behind it. Regular AAA games take years to be developed...what do we expect with this kind of project? Star Citizen is definitely something to enjoy during its development, and to look forward to upon completion. We should simply enjoy the journey. Awesome video my brother.

@@o-wolf technically the current iteration of star citizen has only been in development since about 2015, since that was when the project, at the communities request, was scaled up and required lots of new novel tech.

@@sciencewizard8805 - that’s why I’m just waiting on the side lines. Hopefully cyberpunk fills my void lol 😂
@@thomasrial4444 A month ago, I didn't think I'd have fun until the game was done or in beta. But I logged in, in a patient mood, and learned how to play. I joined an org, had some fun with other players, and they bought me ships in game. One guy couldn't even afford a game package (45$), and someone gifted him one.
I actually hate it when people make the points "the game has taken 9 years loool" or "it has taken 350million".
Let me put both of them into perspective.
1. I will use the development of Anthem, as an example of the "time argument". Development on Anthem began in 2012. Not only did it begin at the same time as SC started fundraising, they already had multiple studios ready and running with employees and work routines. They had a running start. That is also the time when actual development began on Bioware's Anthem, then known as project Dylan, since BioWare stated they were aiming to create "the Bob Dylan of video games - one that would be referenced for years to come". Little did they know, it would be referenced for years to come, but not in the context they might have wanted it to be referenced in. Regardless, everyone knows by now the technical and creative mess that Anthem was.
Most modern game projects are started over 6 years before we ever even hear of them for the first time. This is done because often the project dies to lack of funding interest, the directors losing interest in the vision, etc. And also because the project goals can radically change in those first 6 years. We as the consumers are only given sneak peeks and vague cinematic trailers at the very last phases of development. We aren't told about the failures, delays, cut content, changed plans, and canned projects.
2. The money part. Many people lose the scale when we talk about millions, or hundreds of millions. 2019-12, CIG had a total of 604 staff working on Star Citizen. CIG also doesn't abuse interns by hiring them for less than the living standard, forcing them to work overtime without pay, and paying them with in-game goods that they have to even pay the taxes for. An example I have, is something close to me as a 10+ year WoW player. Activision Blizzard does all this mentioned above, they made record profits and fired all community managers, QA testers. They pay their employees so little, they are starving. Only the big shots get paid well. And exponentially better too.
350million is the number brought up for Star Citizen to give shock value right? Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick pays himself 200million BONUSES yearly, on top of his tiny 80 million yearly paycheck. Activision Blizzard raises billions yearly, that money does not go into making the games better. That money does not go into hiring mods to ban botters and gold sellers. That money goes into the pockets of the CEO that strangles the creativity out of the games, and replaces it with greedy money grabbing in-game purchases.
In contrast, I'm fine giving CIG 50€ every now and then to upgrade my pledge ship. At least Chris Roberts doesn't pay himself bonuses for millions, or hundreds of millions. He hires more staff to make the game better. That's what I respect about this project more than anything. Not only that but the devs are not whipped to work overtime without pay or "for an ingame ship they have to pay the taxes for". That's the human cost we as consumers don't give a shit about and ignore when we wear a 3€ T-shirt made by the bloody and sweaty hands of 10-year olds working 15hours a day in some shitty factory. That's the price we ignore when we expect a videogame of epic scale to be made in less than 6 years.
Definitely agreed
Beautifully said
This was super impressive and has now become the video I will use to introduce my friends and family to the game I like so much.

@@stephenlyon1358 you aren’t ok lol I’m not even a star Citizen player and i still think you are stupid. I also think that this video is beautiful. The original comment was talking about the video mainly but also the game. :)
@@stephenlyon1358 I don't give a flying fuck. As of now, I've enjoyed the money I've put in to the game. Don't like the game? That's fine. You don't need to buy it.
Also, google "cult". You're using it wrong.

This is really well done, hope you make another video someday o7
I love this. I watch it regularly and also show it to people who don't know what Star Citizen is. This is an amazing video, please do more if you can, your work is absolutely incredible!
making something this good takes a bit of practice. nice work!
This is such an underrated video. You deserve so much more subs. Keep it up man 😎
Honestly I'd rather have 3 to 4 solar systems with around 4 planets each with cities and civilizations and having space stations or asteroid mining bases in the solar systems each system containing their own unique quests/jobs and unique factions, I feel like 100+ solar systems is a bit too overkill and will get boring overtime.
Heck, a single system could be fine if they developed the system enough. Like The Expanse, for example.
Problem is they promised exploration gameplay.
They promised that you would have dedicated ships for long voyages into parts of space that have never been visited before. To chart jump points that yeet you through spacetime until you reach a planet no other player has ever set foot on.
Sure you could explore your 12-16 planets and moons but,
1. you wouldn't be the first one to do so, and
2. you would be switching to mostly ground exploration, limiting your use of your awesome exploration vessel.
3. You would never be too far from civilisation and that wouldn't be a very star treky feeling if yaknowwhatImean (if you run out of coffee on your exploration mission and you just send your intern in a snub to get some more, because the nearest truckstop is just one jump point away)
Good point, earlier exploration argument is also valid, just hope there will be a reason to explore. I played No Man's Sky for a while and quite quickly it turns out everything's the same and repetitive, so even 1000 systems are pointless if there's no motivation to go and visit them, nothing to do there which would be justified.
Yes. The biggest reason I stopped playing Elite Dangerous was because it's 100000000 solar systems were all procedurally generated and without any personality. It felt like I was in a very artificial environment. I have my doubts that Star Citizen will be able to pull off 100+ solar systems without having the same problems.
The one which is in game is enough imho.
They should focus on those other things, npcs, missions ai... performamce...
Add more missions and continuously work on other systems later.
From what I saw and tried so far current system suffice for a very long time if its complete
Dear Miaku, your video is my go to video for showing people what this project is all about. There are a lot of heads turning to Star Citizen like never before as of late. So much media and great coverage these days. Yet I cannot help but wonder what another Star Citizen video from your little creative process would be like. It has been such a long time. If you happen to read this, for which I thank you if you did in advance, I kindly ask a reply, if... I may inquire what has halted further creations on this project? Yours kindly, a big fan of your unique approach and style.
Because of people like you Star Citizen is not just a game but so much more. Awesome! Cant wait for another video!
Your editing skills are awesome. I really enjoyed the video.
The images, the music, the voice... the perfection. One of the most beautiful videos i´ve never seen about Star Citizen. Congratulations.
This was fantastic. This is going to be the video I point to when somebody asks, "What is Star Citizen", or "Why Star Citizen". The editing, the explanation, the great voice work, camera work, all great. Capturing even the small simple things like the flowers... Fantastic. Out of all the videos explaining Star Citizen, yours nails it the best. I do hope you make more videos, because this ranks right up there with some of the best. Only Morphologist gets to this level of quality. I really, really hope you do more videos. Make it into a series. There's things like land vehicles, hover bikes, space stations, food, shops, cold weather affecting your visor and health, FPS weapons, caves, prison, etc. that make this game stand out from other games.
My only critiques is...I feel you missed some stuff. Showing the scale of places like New Babbage, the size of space stations, or the size of giant ships like the 890 Jump compared to your 300i. Seeing people ride elevators down, walk along the cities. I'd also point out some of these ships like the Javelin (480 meters in length) are even bigger than even the original starship enterprise (288 meters). There will be ships 2800 meters (1.7 miles), that's nearly twice the size of an Imperial Star Destroyer (1600 meters/ 1 mile). But unlike other games, everything is modeled inside. Down to the sinks, toilets, and engines. But it does say 'a Taste of Star Citizen's Scale' so....hopefully we'll do more in the future. Once again, amazing job. I really would love to see more.
That was awesome. If I wasn't already a backer who plays every day this video would have sold me the game easy.
Your voice is so soothing. I could listen to you for hours! Love from India :)
A superb good moment! Thank you for posting this.
I played this game a few days during the free flight event and it was a load of fun just playing around with all those massive ships and fvking huuuuge space stations. Only if it had more content like missions etc.... xc
It has missions, you can find them in your mobiglass
but there is missions and stuff, i think you just forgot to open your inventory at the time lmfao
Man, dude, keep that stuff coming. Really love the narration and cuts. Just turn the music down a little bit and this is perfection! Greetings!
I'm really into your presentation style, do you have a discord where we can talk?
Space mater!!!!
Yeah likewise to what Space Tomato said. You should be doing more content hit us up if anything we can do to assist. Exe
Major Tom ..ato has spoken!
@@explodogames2774 TOMAT!
,
Truly and whole heartedly, thank you. Its content creators like you who keep our beloved community growing and stretching ever further. In this one video you captured some of my absolute favorite pieces that make up Star Citizen. I'd love to offer some of my larger ships like the Carrack or Reclaimer if you're looking to make another video that touches on the scale and depth of the ships themselves. It could be redundant but for me, it never ceases to put a smile on my face when I call my carrack and walk into the hanger to be greeted by the massive beast that it is. Simply amazing. Or the new MSR and its smuggler heritage. Let me know and I would be happy to loan them to you
That is a really good video. Well done man. Will be sharing this video link on our Star Citizen community discord for all the new recruits. Loved it!
A lot of people always joke about how this game will never release or how the devs spend times on thing they shouldn’t be, but god damn is this game intricate and detailed
How is it intricate or detailed? I can name other games that have just about every single thing SC does down pat. If you’ve ever played it you’d know.
Lol, right now elite dangerous is on the same path as Star Citizen with a fraction of the budget and their alpha already looks very promising, in a few years ED will already have a fully set game released for all while SC is struggling to beta test a few planets for the next couple years while scamming people out of their money. I should also mention that the ED dev team only has a fraction of the budget. I should also mention that small game companies with less than a dozen devs have already proven that anyone with the skill and dedication can create a full fledged game without tens of millions of dollars and still get done within 2-4 years on average
@@kehreazerith3016 yeah but they have different goals. SC at least has cities and life and stuff but yeah it still sucks rn
This is by far the best trailer/intro to SC I’ve even seen, I’m surprised CIG hasn’t hired u yet

@@stephenlyon1358 you clearly don’t know what a scam is then.
what an amazing video
I've been following Star Citizen's development for quite a while now. I remember seeeing this video pop up in my recommended back sometime in Decmber 2020, so about a month after it was released. Since then... it's popped back up in my recommended quite a few times. Each time I've been drawn back to watch it. The cinematography and narration and gameplay showcase is all so beautiful to watch. I don't know if I love this video because I love Star Citizen, or because it's a damn well made video (most likely a mix of both). I've lost count of how many times I've watched it and each time I've enjoyed watching.
I had goosebumps through the entire video, and I don`t even own a copy of this game. Insanely well done Miaku!
This was so beautifully done. Every bit of its video, music, and your voice over are well at top tier. The only downside was it was to short. I could watch an hour long extended version of this.
Hint, hint, wink, wink...
Now that Crusader is coming in maybe an updated llllooonnngggeeerrr video is in the future???
Pretty please!
There's one magnitude they have surely stretched to the confines of patience: Time.
@@ULTRAOutdoorsman this game is probably coming out 2025+
Wrong. Google it: there are MANY games that took 10+ years and none of them had halfways the scope of SC nor did they had to start with 40 people, getting up to 500+. Really... the information is out there, google it. The ONLY thing that is different: now you know how tedious game development really is. But it was never that different, not for Cyberpunk, not for RDR nor GTA. They all took over 8 years.
@@Grimshak81 This is true, however most of that dev time may have been on the drawing board and not actual coding. SC has had near 10 years of coding behind it and the game is nowhere near anything that remotely resembles a full game. The development pace seems very slow. It feels like they are spending more time on the visual fidelity of the game rather than actual gameplay. I would much rather see them produce more systems rather than some tech which simulates humidity based on calculations of how it is on earth.... In my view that is just wrong priorities and I really don't think that CR is the right man for the job. He can't lead and produce an actual product. At least it feels like that.
@@Grimshak81 Cyberpunk did NOT take 8 years, where is everyone getting this information?
The last piece of content for the Witcher 3 released August 2016.
Immediately after Cyberpunk started full development. That is not even close to 8 years.
@@Grimshak81 SC isn't even close to a full game, and it's been in development in the stage of physical coding for years. It's not even close to being done and the game has used enough money to buy a small navy while having the audacity to get people to invest thousands of dollars into it while displaying an honestly lacklustre game to show for it
Such an amazing video! Just wish it were longer hahah. You could show the scale of different ships, space stations and space itself.
dude this is amazing, you showed off the thing we all love and made some refreshing content about the game!!!
you won my like and subscription with that last sentence. Perfect cinematography all around mate.

@@stephenlyon1358 wtf what has that comment to do with anything
@@stephenlyon1358 Ahhh, yes. I was wondering where the haters who only listen to the opinions of others with grudges were going to show up. Probably haven't played the game yourself either. lol. By the way, the average Star Citizen player has spent at Most, about $60 - $80 on this game, and I have yet to run into one online who says they didn't already get their moneys worth. So you might want to listen to the actual community that plays the game, and not the random voices out there who make up a bunch of b/s to get you to view their video on UA-cam, or read their article... all actions which generate them more money.
@@stephenlyon1358 Don't you realize how ironic it is as this is exactly what happened to you from what I read here? Just by simply how you address your fellow human peers in the manner that you do alone? How about you take a step back and reflect on that right now and after reading this comment, before you spit out this one dimensional dribble somewhere else again on the internet -or god forbid- real life? Yikes...
@@stephenlyon1358 I’m so confused. Plenty of AAA title go into the works for about This long. The only difference is that this was shown to the public as soon as development began. I do find it ridiculous that some ships can cost over $1000 usd, so you’re right about that much at least.
The best star citizen video i've ever seen. Honestly showed this to two hesitant friends and they grabbed the game!
This channel is underrated.
fantastic work. You have an incredible future ahead of you. Keep it up, these are the types of videos that will help us spread Star Citizen to the lay people of Earth that haven't had the chance to learn about this project.
That goddaaaym video boi!!!
i is amazed in the way of very!
This is the best looking game ive'd ever seen theses past years

@@stephenlyon1358 you really have no life do you? lmao
@@stephenlyon1358 The whole project is trying to say we make an open development game with triple AAA ambitions.
Yet it's still an early alpha for a decade... At some point they have to decide if they are the indie dev doing perpetual alphas or if they are a BMW dealer with million dollar marketing budget. I'm pretty sure they have a sociologist team to confuse buyers and backers. Kinda like Growth hacking
They don't care selling a scam as long as they don't lose lawsuits or money.
"when the game fully releases" ... i wish to live to see that day
It will never release, it is a scam.
@@robertmiller-vi9oh why bother making a huge space game to be scam? i don't think so
@@amthx4005 All they are consistently releasing are new ships, which they put up for sale for limited amount of times, with limited quantities to create fake scarcity so they can sell them to the blind retards who keep paying them. Game delay after game delay after game delay, roberts constantly on lavish vacations with that seed money. Open your eyes people. This game will never release
@@robertmiller-vi9oh if I'm not mistaken Robert's also has a history of not finishing games. I'd love for this game to finish development, but after all this time, it isn't even a fraction of what they want it to be. You'd be better off settling with elite dangerous.
@@jakoda2514 elite dangerous is pretty disappointing at times too, huge lack of content and variation, not to mention awful balancing issues and misleading promises from developers. Imo No Man’s Sky, whilst not as realistic, is far more enjoyable especially after years of amazing updates bringing it back from the shitty state it released it to something beautiful
Have you seen this guys channel?! The last time he posted was 8 years ago and it was a music video. And now he just pulls this out of the blue
Hmmmm... what HAS he been doing for the last 8 years? I'll give you one guess. :)
@@TheSnazzed binge watching Game of Thrones?
Breathtaking cinematography. Clearly a lot of love went into this video. The scale in this game is almost impossible to convey, until you actually try it out for yourself that is, at which point it just messes with your head.
Bro... I bought a game package and extra ship in 2015... haven't played for 4 years... the game is so much more now (November 2022). Amazing video and does the game justice even tho it was 2 years ago. Well done. People need to know about this game. It's amazing.
