Has there been any news lately on SC/SQ42?


 
Re: Wing Commander 6: The Undiscovered Release Date (Star Citizen Thread)
I watched a video about "doomed kickstarter mmos" today that namedropped Star Citizen and mentioned it has been in production for 11 years and was originally due for release in 2014. Other than that, nope.

EDIT: To be fair (and balanced), I've heard from people who play it that it's in a condition to be considered "a game" and is apparently "fun to play", even though it's still in early access.

I've never backed it l, was only ever interested in the single player story component, and  am glad I never paid into it.

This, so much. 

While I would eventually like to see this project succeed (and I don't think it will as long as Chris Roberts is the director), the feature creep has made this sound like even Squadron 42 would not be fun for me.  I play games to be entertained, and have no interest in hyper-realistic simulators.  I''m more Ace Combat than DCS (thank you, Falcon 4.0, for teaching me that lesson).   
Maybe someday God will give you a little pink toaster of your own.

He got 35$ from me. And while his team has not delivered that product, I do feel I have learned very much through watching the making of this game for over ten years...         ...about project management, communication, expectation management and so much more.
I got something worthwhile from my money, although not what I expected. And I had fun with Arena Commander...

So they're claiming Squadron 42 is feature complete now. So no idea what excuse they'll use if it's not out in a couple of years.

Hearing "Arch-Angel" makes my ears bleed.   

But if my cougar of choice Gillian Anderson is in it, I'll still try it out at some point.


Calling her Sir when she's a ma'am is also cringe.   That's what got me about nuBSG .
Rude of her to not return the salute.

Re: Wing Commander 6: The Undiscovered Release Date (Star Citizen Thread)
Obviously I am skeptical that Chris Roberts can keep his hands off this long enough for it to see a release - there will be some feature to be added or wheel to be reinvented or game engine to switch to - but I really would like it to happen.  I have no interest in multiplayer or a persistent universe, so a single player game has my interest.

Re: Wing Commander 6: The Undiscovered Release Date (Star Citizen Thread)
 I am a REALLY early backer as my wife paid the $100 back in 2012/2012 for a birthday present.  The requirements listed back then are ancient and clearly would not work for a modern game.  The graphics blow Starfield away and by 3080 ti can barely get 40 FPS at 4K (Pretty high settings). The requirements they have listed are for a 4 GB video card and 16 gb of ram.  What is it going to take to run the game at HIGH settings?

Good point well made.  People buying in good faith that it could run on their planned kit....


Kinda my quandary with HW3.   I'm unsure what specs it needs.   I knew I had the oomph for it's proposed ballpark when I backed.  Goalpost drift may be real :/

Re: Wing Commander 6: The Undiscovered Release Date (Star Citizen Thread)
Like others have said here and elsewhere, I'm not crazy about Star Citizen itself and how 'big' it's trying to be.  On the other hand, I care about single player stuff; so if Squadron 42 ever gets officially released I would totally be interested in playing a high quality SP space sim spiritual sequel to Wing Commander.

Oh I wouldn't worry about that. By the time this gets released, everyones gonna have their own quantum computer at home and performance issues will be a thing of the past anyway...
