Well, the vast majority of 4X games are on PC, many of them exclusive to PC. And the very few space sims that are around these days are also pretty much all on PC.Kalezian said:
I think what they mean is space sims like this don't sell to the "dudebro" crowd, therefore a space sim can't become the next Call of Doody and make all the executives rich. Therefore, most AAA studios aren't interested in making them. But fans of the genre have been hopefully awaiting something like this since X-Wing vs TIE Fighter (or since I-War 1 and 2, for those who have heard of them) and now that someone is finally making the game we have all been waiting for we cannot throw money at it fast enough.digital warrior said:
It's actually kind of both, based on what I've seen. The game is divided into 2 parts "Squadron 42" which will be very much a Wing Commander-style single player campaign, and "Star Citizen" which is more MMO/Sandbox Freelancer. They also claim there will be more SP expansions/DLC as the game matures (which is why they're making these promotional pushes to finance an in-house mocap studio)Owyn_Merrilin said:Yeah, but I'm hoping for Wing Commander 6, while worried it'll be Privateer 3Tyran107 said:You do realize this is being made by the same guy who...made wing commander yes??

Isn't that the $250 pledge ship?Desert Punk said:
To be fair, they do have that gorgeous brochure for the Constellation. Incidentally, that is the ship I have already bought myself. I love how the interior of these ships is fully laid out. Most of them have room to get out of the seat and walk around inside a little but I have to feel sorry for whoever is going to be flying a Hornet - there's no interior space other than the cockpit in those, so the pilot's going to have to either wear a nappy or put up with a catheter.Desert Punk said:
I did the pledge level for the Hornet myself, and just put down money for the 300I add-on for just that reason.infohippie said:
I'd say that was an appropriate advert. It's supposed to be "in universe" so to speak, just look at modern car adverts, even the fastest speed cars ain't allowed to properly advertise it because they're not supposed (or allowed) to promote speeding. It's not presented to us as gamers in a fourth wall aimed way, it's aimed at customers in a fictional universe. I'm pretty sure Chris Roberts knows what he's doing for space combat, he's pretty much the go to guy when it comes to the classics in the genre.synobal said:
