Ship combat is fun and has been fun since at least 2015. There is a mode called Arena Commander where you can go against other players or AI in small pre-generated maps. Because these maps are only meant for small skirmishes, performance is very very good. I get well over 100 fps. Small fighters like the Galdius and Arrow are fast and nimble. Mediu...
CIG’s first person gameplay is pretty on point. It wasn’t really a big focus initially and they had even subcontracted this work out to another company before. But that was a long long time ago and ever since they have now completely taken over and first person gameplay is on another level. Physical inventories, detailed character animations, reali...
Ground vehicles were also not the initial focus, but now we have enough of them that they are in a category of their own. We already have over a dozen and I fully expect dozens more to come. You have Tonks (Tanks), buggy’s wheeled bikes and hover bikes, fancy explorers and rugged explorers. The best part is not the vehicles though. I think they hav...
I was amazed by the beautiful worlds of Skyrim, Witcher 3, AC Unity, The Division and Red Dead Redemption 2. Some people just like to rush through the content, but I like to enjoy the scenery and appreciate all the little details. That is what I believe is Star Citizen’s biggest strength. they have managed to create such a beautiful world already a...
An MMO economy is hard to get right but is also one of its most important aspects. Star Citizen’s economic simulation is based around digital agents called quanta. These quanta are released into a system and then go about simulating the world. For example, lets say there is a factory on Microtech. That factory will demand resources and create minin...
I am really looking forward to the Squadron 42 campaign. There is not much to review here since all we have had are a couple of trailers and an hour long vertical slice video, but if that doesn’t get you excited, I don’t know what will. It has quite a cast of A-listers and Chris Roberts is well known for creating cinematic experiences in all his ga...
Server side issues are essentially the main performance bottleneck currently. The server has a lot of load which is the main cause of performance issues on the client side. I won’t get into too much technical details, but they are using a lot of tools to fix these issues like OCS, SSOCS, server meshing and so on. The development of these tools is p...
Its a bit premature to state the final system requirements for the released game, but we can certainly talk about the current situation. Look at some of my hardware guides here.
There are plenty of bugs in Star Citizen and that is entirely expected in a game in alpha. Most games would not be available to the public at this stage, but CIG needs to showcase it to get more funding so here we are. It’s not really a bad thing if you are fully cognizant of what you are getting into. Expect its an alpha and that it will stay an a...
I follow gaming stocks and invest in gaming companies as a hobby. CIG is like a startup, and like most startups, there is a certain degree of financial uncertainty. I have looked at CIG’s financial statements in some detail (UK ones are publicly available) and based on the information available, I feel comfortable with their positions. They do spen...
