Rodrigo Motta Nope. For me its the best! No michael bay explosions (although they can be awesome, if overbearing at times; i'm looking at you epic hornet commercial) just amazing star trek style exploration! This is the type of game that i've dreamed of!
Knighted Guardian Now I can see why You love it. Yes , I love star trek Exploration. That´s why I bought a Connie. But I didnt like the lights , the Music, almost anything in the commercial. I love 2001 , but I didnt found the tribute well done. Maybe I saw in a bad day. I found the Freelancer commercial better.
It was the best for me because it had the most detail. I mean we have alien races, the buggy, and multiple voiced and animated characters, and it's the longest trailer so far. I just enjoyed it for the experience more than the others...
Taskmaster Jup, exploring the PU is probably the most exciting thing for me. Hope we will also get stuff like thunderstorms in space (like in Event Horizon). There also was something quite interesting in space, when they showed the first the multi-crew gameplay in the live-stream!
Probably won't, unfortunately. Lets be realistic, think about GTA5 as a benchmark, they had $265,000,0000 and multiple big studio's to make that game and it took a long time too. Now how much have these guys had and how much smaller is their team? It's hard to believe they can build an entire galaxy (universe?) that you can explore like this and still keep it really high quality, the quality of stuff they've shown so far being higher than GTA5 too so even with the same resources they could do less. Maybe I'm completely wrong and they find a way to pull it off in a reasonable time frame, but it does seem almost impossible.
oBLACKIECHANoo There going to be working on the game consistently, putting out new Planets for us to explore. I haven't done that much research but of course there wont be a whole galaxy to explore that would take light years :p
"It could sustain life" "Good, ready the planetary bombardment cannons. We're going to make sure it never does." At least that's what Evil Kirk/Picard would do.
***** Now that I know that, I'm not going to get it when it comes out on PC (whenever the hell that is). I will wait for a drastic Steam sale or Humble Bundle before I spend a dime on the game.
Okay...i think we can agree this constellation ad is awesome ;p if Star Citizen can deliver at one point of his lifespan exploration gameplay similar to what we see here i'm pretty sure SC will just succeed in making a truely immersive ( and mindblowing !) persistant universe ! I can't wait to see this happening. Keep going guys great work!
Your crowdsource dollars in action. I don't really keep up with Star Citizen, but this blew me away! They must have tons of resources to pump out rad rendertrailers like this just for show! I also like how you can blame the cheesiness of it on it being a genuine commercial from the futuuuure :D
I have my doubts as well. CIG has deviated from their planned release dates too many times now it's hard to believe they'll release anything on time. We'll have to see.
I do belive that they are behind schedule as well. For example this months' subscriber flair isn't actually ingame - instead, the subscribers have to wait for the 2.6 release to recive their flair item. This doesn't usually happen, so i assume that CIG expected that they would've released 2.6 by now, but they are behind schedule. I do hope we get 2.6 still in 2016, and a friend of mine had the idea that maybe they will just skip 2.6 and push out 3.0 alltogether (given the two updates focus on different things and are developed in paralell to each other). This year also brings winter holidays and the anniversary sale with it, during which we most likely won't see any update - so my guess is either they push out 3.0 directly, or it'll be 2.6 this year and we need to wait for 2017 for 3.0 - i don't see two updates happening within a month and a half.
***** The Oso systems hosts a race of aliens which are protected by the fiar chance act. Their meat however is considered delicious by the Xi'an (an advanced alien race) so there's that. Also the Hades systems hosts 2 planets that wiped out each other with mass destruction weapons but there's supposedly a series of artifacts to discover
This made my eyes water, honest to Roberts it did... Oh how I do hope everything works out well for this game and it doesn't cost a fortune at release. It might just end up being the first game I buy in 6+ years, har-har. Well, if I can afford the graphics card required to play it.
Cuerex I don't make a purchase when I don't know what I'm getting and if my PC is enough to run it. Plus, the dollar exchange rate is double in Russia right now so it's best to postpone any purchases in currency.
@@GeoRyukaiser bro what. where did you get millenium falcon from the con? its supposed to be an exploration vessel, you know, the whole gameplay loop thats missing from the SPACE game LOL. cope, go play elite dangerous it actually is a finished game
@@kylew673 The base Connie, the Andromeda, is more of a gunship/cargo hauler. Which is what the Millennium Falcon was. It's also how the connie was originally presented to the community.
Dark Star I mean with the exploration, landing on giant planets with alien creatures and ground vehicles to explore alien planets and discover things nobody has seen before.
+olegator5 I believe it will let you, its just you would be fined, or have government ships sent after you. The whole idea of the game is that you can break the law or abide by it.
+dxxPacmanxxb Maybe 1% of gamers would be able to afford a PC to play it smoothly. So it won't for the sake of the game lasting with a good customer base.
You know, everytime I watch this, no matter how tired I am waiting for SC to finally be ready, I am completely renewed in my excitement of the ultimate next game that will ruin my job, my relationships and my life. Can't wait! 😂
I also feel like that. I always have a huge smile after watching these commercials. Did you see the Consolidated Outland Pioneer presentation? Send shivers down my spine. :D
I actually really like these commercials. It's cool to see that ships are going to be more like cars; a super common occurrence and a hobby for those interested. I'm excited!
Witness the epicness! I've known this commercial since over a year now and accidentally watched it again just now, and I had my eyes get wet for excitement! 2.0 is right behind the corner! whoop whoop!
Kyle Rybski Spore used the same music as this and looks much more similar, however, in spore it doesn't transition to a ship like this does. I think it acknowledges both.
I like the Stanlry Kubrick touch ... shows these guys understand sci-fi of quality and what people expect of them , one of the best space games that will ever be !
OMG this was beautifully and magnificently made! Really enjoyed the Odyssey feel in the beginning it really set the right tone! Cant wait to get this game....i thought the original date was November this year or early next but now im hearing it wont come out till 2016? Tis true?! Say it aint so!
Dang... to be expected though i guess since its so awesome a game and concept. THey better make sure they use this to its fullest potential because by then other gaming companies may catch the hint and try to copy not to mention other games like No Man's Sky and (the other space sim coming out early next year idk what its called) will be out by then...
Erudite At the very very beginning, yes, late 2014 was the planned release date. Then they made $20 million in crowd funding in 8 months, and the game expanded in scope by a considerable amount. LOTS more content, hugely improved quality of content. Basically they realized they could shoot for the moon and are going for it full throttle with an eye towards Mars. Now, the planned release timeline is Squadron 42 in mid to late 2015, and the Persistent Universe in early to mid 2016.
Well, at least I'll have the PC and (just enough) money to get in before then... This truly is the future of the gaming industry right here. Adventure/Exploration, FPS, Space-Sim, MMO, Player-centered world/universe, all in one epic game....
Synthmilk They also wanted Arena Commander to be out in December 2013, I really doubt the MMO is going to be finished in 2016. Furthermore, why are they focusing on Squadron 42 first? Ive put several hundred down because I think this will be one of the best MMO's Ive ever played, not because I want a cool campaign mode
Knighted Guardian I heard there will be lot of exploration elements in ME4 but I'm not interested in Bioware anymore . Most of the talent have left the company and others just focus way too much on "sex" and social justice simulation than actual gameplay . Look at Dragon Age 2 . What a disaster . Look at ME3 ending . Disaster . Dragon Age Inquisition is the most important game from Bioware . Hopefully they'll pull it off or I'm done with them .
First thing you do when you land on a new planet? Fire up that diesel jeep...one would think electric is the way to go considering you have no idea what kind of atmosphere it will have.
Kyle Rybski You have no idea what kind of atmosphere you are going to encounter when you leave home so putting a a big diesel-run vehicle in cargo is a longshot.
I have never in my life been so amazed by a trailer. All I could think of was "I can't wait to see their reactions when they meet the local tribe" and then it just ended. What. A. Tease.
This is not just a game anymore, there is no other game that treats its virtual world like this. It's awesome and it's a step towards true sci-fi gaming.
that SPORE reference tho! That realy killed me. Absolutely speechless. My two favorite games combined! Guess I'll need to buy them all now. nicely made RSI!
Holy damn are they moving fast in that shot at 1:50. Using Space Engine to replicate that shot, they're moving at about 4-5000 kilometres/second. Hope they don't have to take any evasive manoeuvres!
You know you can melt your current one down and get its credit back right? Then buy a new variant partially with the store credits you get back and you've only spent the extra for the upgrade cost. Sorted. :)
RazordraacGaming and Alberto Martinez You both misunderstood me. I liked the new variants so much I bought another one instead of just upgrading my current one. And why melt one down if you can upgrade it as needed?
It's Paramount's fault. They made it the Prime Directive specifically so it would be indivisible so that it couldn't be used across two different franchises.
Well, so much for the Prime Directive. Haha, anyways, I was starting to lose faith in this game, but seeing stuff like this really brings me back in. If you just give me a ship, a buggy, and a slew of planets to explore then I will be a happy person. I have faith in you that you'll get exploration right and make it truly feel like you're exploring, not going down to a random boring copy-paste planet for some experience points or something. I guess only time will tell, but if it's anything like it is in this trailer it will be amazing.
***** Right, because an alien species in the birthing stages of civilization won't be at all affected by a giant thing coming down from the sky and tall people encased in metal and "moving iron boxes with round things on them" won't affect the development of the species at all.
Love that this commercial took inspiration from 2001: A Space Odyssey (the music, showing a primitive alien species instead of primitive humans, who encounter an alien (human) vessel)
Awesome CIG! The only thing that needs work are the facial and body animations. I realize this is alpha level stuff, but please improve that. Right now those characters looked very uncanny valley. o _ o
It's not really that important in a space game to be honest. They have other priorities. In fact they should spend the money on the game instead of these cinematics.
Vidyadude This is their marketing, it draws in a lot of new backers every time they do a commercial. Also, it's practice for doing their in-game cinematics, so it's really a cost effective thing to produce these videos. kxmode this is all work in progress, the animations, especially the faces, are a lot better than in the previous commercials. It only going to get better as time goes on and they get more experience.
Rastislav Palugyay You're clearly an idiot if you really think the game will look this good. You can render almost photorealistic scenes in cry-egnine, that does not fucking mean you can run it well. Remember, in this video there are barely any calculations to be made. No ai, no physics, no gameplay, no nothing. It's all pre-baked. No "in-engine" trailer EVER has looked like the actual released product. The game will look similar but please don't expect it to look as good.
Vidyadude Heh, Arena Commander looks this good, in fact so far the actual game has looked better than the trailers. We shall see how good the Connie looks when multi-crew ships get into Arena Commander.
Love watching these it’s such a hype train that never happened, I play every so often but just get bored like as soon as I take my 160 dollar ship out.
***** I am not saying it would look the same. they even haven't applied some technologies in this demo yet such as facial animation. We expect it to be even better on full release.
apart from the ship thats more a trailer for Elite: Dangerous, b/c there are not enough systems in StarCitizen to really go exploring (50, are you kidding me?). My guess: 1-2 days after release every system will be done/explored.
Luke Bellamy systems in SC are scaled-down tremendously (only a few AU). So, you have 50, rel. small systems each containing a few planets max. Play ED and you gonna know how big a system really is - and you gonna have 400,000,000,000 of them.
How can you know? It's not like sc is released yet. You don't know it's scaled down. In fact from the interviews it sounds like they are going to be massive with hidden exploration points, planet landings etc. ED is just repetition currently, although that may change as it leaves beta. Kinda pointless having this debate but continue rubbishing something that isn't released yet if you wish...
It's better to have 50 handcrafted systems that are interesting to explore then several millions out of which over 99% could end up being almost the same due to the limitations of procedural generation.
sirknightartorias thats not my point. my point is: 50 systems take a few days to explore max. So, no replay value b/c always the same and massive spoilers all over the net. Thats no exploring. Also I prefer a more realistic universe than some handcrafted artificial "hotspots".
Eric Williams Welp, my comments keep disappearing. This is very odd. Search on youtube Star Citizen: Constellation Multi-Crew Combat MAybe it was because of links
A cool thing to see today is that, at the time this trailer was out, i would like to see the game having planets like this that looked this cool, where you can fly down to them, and explore, and now, if you see how planets are in the current game, they are not behind, only lacking some of those effects in the atmosphere that are post processing FX in this trailer, but in the ground the planets do look even better than in this video, love seeing how far they advanced with the engine.
***** You probably have to have some type of license in order to get to a remote distant unclaimed world and have to follow sets of guidelines in order to do anything, be it be mining, general exploration, etc.
Now you need to own 4 of them!
(will probably wait for the PU to arrive and buy them in game)

Really hope, stuff like this will actually happen in the game. :)
it will. i can't wait just to explore the universe, mine for resources, land and explore different planets, and just have a blast. :D
Yep, I hope this will be real with some time.
Taskmaster Jup, exploring the PU is probably the most exciting thing for me.

Now, the planned release timeline is Squadron 42 in mid to late 2015, and the Persistent Universe in early to mid 2016.
Well, at least I'll have the PC and (just enough) money to get in before then... This truly is the future of the gaming industry right here.
Adventure/Exploration, FPS, Space-Sim, MMO, Player-centered world/universe, all in one epic game....
Synthmilk They also wanted Arena Commander to be out in December 2013, I really doubt the MMO is going to be finished in 2016.
Furthermore, why are they focusing on Squadron 42 first? Ive put several hundred down because I think this will be one of the best MMO's Ive ever played, not because I want a cool campaign mode
They lifted this beauty straight from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
this is kinda like the "Mass Effect" game I always wanted.
Same! :D I hope Mass Effect 4 is like this...
indeed!

I heard there will be lot of exploration elements in ME4 but I'm not interested in Bioware anymore . Most of the talent have left the company and others just focus way too much on "sex" and social justice simulation than actual gameplay . Look at Dragon Age 2 . What a disaster . Look at ME3 ending . Disaster . Dragon Age Inquisition is the most important game from Bioware . Hopefully they'll pull it off or I'm done with them .
I'd watch this show every week.
They should make a web-series or a small movie out of these animated characters.
I love this Space Odyssey 2001 homage - and the inevitable Star Trek inspiration. The monolith RSI logo - touché.
This aged like warm milk.
Those little Mantis Crab things are finally about to come out!
Really?
2:34 epic music !!!
How is this now 10 years old and as cool as it is we still dont have the exploration/planetscanning tech shown
First thing you do when you land on a new planet? Fire up that diesel jeep...one would think electric is the way to go considering you have no idea what kind of atmosphere it will have.
Kyle Rybski You have no idea what kind of atmosphere you are going to encounter when you leave home so putting a a big diesel-run vehicle in cargo is a longshot.
It's probably some chemical power plant liek in the p 52 hence the car sounds. Yep. Totally
I have never in my life been so amazed by a trailer. All I could think of was "I can't wait to see their reactions when they meet the local tribe" and then it just ended. What. A. Tease.
This is not just a game anymore, there is no other game that treats its virtual world like this. It's awesome and it's a step towards true sci-fi gaming.
that SPORE reference tho! That realy killed me. Absolutely speechless. My two favorite games combined! Guess I'll need to buy them all now.
nicely made RSI!
ok I got it now ... It's a space odyssey reference but still it gave me a cool feeling seeing the scene in both games!
Anyone notice the black monolith reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey?
There were quite a bit more 2001 references than that. haha
everything in this video references that
Was gonna say the same thing. About 90% of the video is a parody in some way of the opening of 2001.
It's not a parody, it's a pastiche ;)
I dont even remember being this excited for stuff when i was younger. I am Legitimately excited to do all this game has to offer.
This... Aside from the 2001 references seems like someone spent too much time watching star trek. XD
+KuraIthys Particularly Voyager and Prometheus :D
+Tony Light and my butthole!
The best yet!
Thanks CIG.
Holy damn are they moving fast in that shot at 1:50. Using Space Engine to replicate that shot, they're moving at about 4-5000 kilometres/second. Hope they don't have to take any evasive manoeuvres!
2001 must still be considered a classic even that far into the future. I APPROVE
Damn I was going to just upgrade my current Connie to one of the variants, but nope, I had to go and buy a whole new one...
You know you can melt your current one down and get its credit back right? Then buy a new variant partially with the store credits you get back and you've only spent the extra for the upgrade cost. Sorted. :)
You can just buy an upgrade to make it one of the other variants.
RazordraacGaming and Alberto Martinez You both misunderstood me. I liked the new variants so much I bought another one instead of just upgrading my current one. And why melt one down if you can upgrade it as needed?
Evil Merlin You think 5thats crazy, I already owned 3 Connie's in preparation for the variants. :)
Evil Merlin I thought you meant that you physically couldn't upgrade, but I see what you mean now :) Which one you getting?
I have no words to describe how happy i am right now...
Ill have to come back to video in a few hours in order to collect my thoughts....
have these guys ever heard of the prime directive ? clearly not !
+01wcutle Read the little disclaimer at the end
It's Paramount's fault. They made it the Prime Directive specifically so it would be indivisible so that it couldn't be used across two different franchises.
you know what i love about it the most? it's exactly that. a commercial for a ship. down to the logo on footprint XD
I. WANT. ONE!
Me too, :D
The game should have a free package and 1 free ship, :(
Dylan Vos LOL it's not that expensive to join up.
+Tec it's 35 at the min now
An infinitely randomly generated experience like this is the DREAM
Oh my god, the reference! And it was nearly better than the Original! :D
I really hope the cut scenes in squadron 42 are up to par with these ship commercials. They are fantastic!
Well, so much for the Prime Directive. Haha, anyways, I was starting to lose faith in this game, but seeing stuff like this really brings me back in. If you just give me a ship, a buggy, and a slew of planets to explore then I will be a happy person. I have faith in you that you'll get exploration right and make it truly feel like you're exploring, not going down to a random boring copy-paste planet for some experience points or something. I guess only time will tell, but if it's anything like it is in this trailer it will be amazing.
Did you not see the fine print at the end?
***** Right, because an alien species in the birthing stages of civilization won't be at all affected by a giant thing coming down from the sky and tall people encased in metal and "moving iron boxes with round things on them" won't affect the development of the species at all.
Reflects on what we'll be able to do in-game. Discover new planets, and explore them. I like this trailer!
Am I the only one that thought "why is Gollum throwing a penis?" :P Im so hyped!
*throws credit card at the screen* TAKE MY MONEY!
Love that this commercial took inspiration from 2001: A Space Odyssey (the music, showing a primitive alien species instead of primitive humans, who encounter an alien (human) vessel)
Awesome CIG! The only thing that needs work are the facial and body animations. I realize this is alpha level stuff, but please improve that. Right now those characters looked very uncanny valley. o _ o
It's not really that important in a space game to be honest. They have other priorities. In fact they should spend the money on the game instead of these cinematics.
Vidyadude This is their marketing, it draws in a lot of new backers every time they do a commercial. Also, it's practice for doing their in-game cinematics, so it's really a cost effective thing to produce these videos. kxmode this is all work in progress, the animations, especially the faces, are a lot better than in the previous commercials. It only going to get better as time goes on and they get more experience.

You're clearly an idiot if you really think the game will look this good. You can render almost photorealistic scenes in cry-egnine, that does not fucking mean you can run it well. Remember, in this video there are barely any calculations to be made. No ai, no physics, no gameplay, no nothing. It's all pre-baked. No "in-engine" trailer EVER has looked like the actual released product. The game will look similar but please don't expect it to look as good.
Rastislav Palugyay
Replied in the wrong discussion.
Vidyadude Heh, Arena Commander looks this good, in fact so far the actual game has looked better than the trailers.
We shall see how good the Connie looks when multi-crew ships get into Arena Commander.
Love watching these it’s such a hype train that never happened, I play every so often but just get bored like as soon as I take my 160 dollar ship out.
Wait. Are these ingame graphics? Like this is what I would see infront of my fucking eyes when I get to play the game?
Yes
Yup
PC MASTER RACE
***** its in engine not pre rendered
***** I am not saying it would look the same. they even haven't applied some technologies in this demo yet such as facial animation. We expect it to be even better on full release.
I love how they print the company logo with their footprints.
One Small Step for a Man, one giant leap for RSI.
apart from the ship thats more a trailer for Elite: Dangerous, b/c there are not enough systems in StarCitizen to really go exploring (50, are you kidding me?). My guess: 1-2 days after release every system will be done/explored.
You clearly have no idea how big a solar system is.... also it will grow from 50.
Luke Bellamy systems in SC are scaled-down tremendously (only a few AU). So, you have 50, rel. small systems each containing a few planets max. Play ED and you gonna know how big a system really is - and you gonna have 400,000,000,000 of them.
How can you know? It's not like sc is released yet. You don't know it's scaled down. In fact from the interviews it sounds like they are going to be massive with hidden exploration points, planet landings etc. ED is just repetition currently, although that may change as it leaves beta. Kinda pointless having this debate but continue rubbishing something that isn't released yet if you wish...
It's better to have 50 handcrafted systems that are interesting to explore then several millions out of which over 99% could end up being almost the same due to the limitations of procedural generation.
sirknightartorias thats not my point. my point is: 50 systems take a few days to explore max. So, no replay value b/c always the same and massive spoilers all over the net. Thats no exploring. Also I prefer a more realistic universe than some handcrafted artificial "hotspots".
I'm looking so much forward to explore the universe!
Where's the video where the hornet shoots a missile, hits the constellation, and it decompresses?
Search it on youtube maybe?
nowhere. they have failed to upload that, anywhere :( which is a shame as that was fantastic!
I sorta linked it though. Loo kat my first comment, it's a link
Guillermo Bilbao No idea where your first comment is, lol.
Eric Williams Welp, my comments keep disappearing. This is very odd.
Search on youtube Star Citizen: Constellation Multi-Crew Combat
MAybe it was because of links
it feels like a movie. i love it
love my conny
I've watched this dozens of times and grown a new appreciation for the series as a whole
A cool thing to see today is that, at the time this trailer was out, i would like to see the game having planets like this that looked this cool, where you can fly down to them, and explore, and now, if you see how planets are in the current game, they are not behind, only lacking some of those effects in the atmosphere that are post processing FX in this trailer, but in the ground the planets do look even better than in this video, love seeing how far they advanced with the engine.
This video was released 6 years ago. Is this gameplay out yet? Lul
Amazing Game Designs... and Love the Foot Prints...
OMG! Hypeeeeee!
you know it's some serious business when an ad in a fiction starts to make Kubrick references
I see that this universe doesn't have first contact rules.
So you didn't read the disclaimer?
***** You probably have to have some type of license in order to get to a remote distant unclaimed world and have to follow sets of guidelines in order to do anything, be it be mining, general exploration, etc.
***** Real according to some other fictional universe. Nice.
Missed the fine print at the end eh?
