Squadron 42's New Gameplay Video Once Again Feels Too Good To Be True

TheGamer writes: I was not expecting to watch the full hour of gameplay, but wow, it looks absolutely incredible. I felt more emotion during the battle scene between the United Empire Of Earth (UEE) and the invading lizard-like Vanduul, than I did during any of the recent Star Wars films

[PrinceOfAnger]

As someone said... " i really couldn't care less about the gameplay at this point , Im more than happy to sit here and watch stuff of that quality for 30+ hours , that was truely amazing".

I fully agree it just looks stunning feels like watching a movie , with crazy acting and presentation never seen before in a game!

[SimpleSlave]

"with crazy acting and presentation never seen before in a game!" 🙄

Jesus H. Christ, kid. You're chocking on the Kool-Aid and drowning in hyperbole over here, aren't ya, bud? Weird.

What they showed was literally the most generic run on every single AAAAAAA game - The shitty intro...from the PS3/XBOX 360 era.

After a decade you'd think they would show us a mid game section that showed the game's true potential. Some bad ass "THIS is Squadron 42 fuckwads! THIS is what your money went into." But they didn't. And I'll tell you why they didn't. It's the same reason the game's over a decade late - They have nothing, and Chris Roberts need a new boat. So now they need to extend the release date, again.

Two more years, eh? I guess we'll have to wait for the Roadmap to that Roadmap, won't we?

[PrinceOfAnger]

Lol, who hurt you like that ,kid?
Cry more no one cares, we will play Squadron 42 on PC and the haters as yourself who say its a scam and will never be released will buy the game and support the dev by themselves with their money when it comes to PS5 Pro / Xbox.

Lol! go play concord 8 years 200/400m then cancelled + closure of the studio 🤣

[SimpleSlave]

"Lol, who hurt you like that ,kid?" I mean, if you feel hurt by my comment then that's a you problem. Seek help.

"Cry more no one cares" You care, bud. You're desperate for the attention. Otherwise you would've ignored my comment.

"haters as yourself who say its a scam and will never be released" Both are a scam, yes. The scam is in Roberts allowing feature creep to become part of the development process in order to extend the release of both games. Why? Because this only helps him and his family in maximizing their own personal profits so they can lead a wealthy lifestyle during the more than a decade long development process.

Now is "Two more years" for this game, and how many more for Star Citizen? Yeah. I bet you it'll be 20 years before Star Citizen is even put out as an Early Access game. Speaking of Concord, you better hope Squadron 42 is much more than the PS3/Xbox 360 shitty AAAs game they just showed. Because, boy would I hate for it to meet the same fate. Not so much for Roberts and fam, but for the people that suffered through the developmental hell.

As for Star Citizen? 🤣 I doubt I'll be alive in order to make fun of you when the game crashes and burn worst than Concord. So don't worry about it.

Poster must've got burned on a ship purchase.

In marketing it's called BULLSHOT

[PrinceOfAnger]

This comment is called butthurt

Does this "marketing BULLSHOT" applies to sony too ? Oh no ..

We have seen how killzone 2 2005 trailer looked like, same with first trailer for uncharted 4 and Tlou 2.

[Inverno]

The difference is those games have actually released and turnt out as advertised because they're from proven devs. This is from a dev that has proven nothing other than their willingness to suck their consumers dry of their money.

[PrinceOfAnger]

@Inverno

" The difference is those games have actually released and turnt out as advertised".

How the heck they turned out as advertised??

DF on Killzone 2
2019 article

"The road to Killzone 2 was almost certainly a difficult one fraught with unrealistic expectations defined by its infamous E3 2005 pre-rendered trailer"

This now infamous trailer showcased a level of detail and fidelity unlike anything we could imagine at the time and for good reason - the trailer was completely pre-rendered."

At E3 2007, Killzone 2 received its first proper reveal with a new look at the game running on actual PlayStation 3 hardware. No, it didn't match that pre-rendered trailer

" marketing BULLSHOT".

executive Ken Kutaragi thought it would be a good idea to show the trailer off to boost the PlayStation 3 hype. After all, Kutaragi admitted it was running in real-time on PS3 hardware."

Also First Uncharted 4 trailer they said it was Real-time

DF
An E3 downgrade?

The E3 2014 60fps promise: Not so much something that doesn't work, as opposed to an initial promise that didn't work out. It's pretty clear that the visuals on display in Uncharted 4 would be impossible at a full 60fps - likely due in part to the limited CPU used in the PlayStation 4 - but some fans remain affected and disappointed by the original promises of a 60fps experience. Releasing that original E3 2014 teaser trailer at a full 60fps means that as impressive as the game is, there are still those that will be disappointed. "
"
the final game comes very close to matching the quality of the original E3 2014 teaser trailer" - coming close = not the same or better! but a downgrade.

Also TLOU 2

You’re talking about something that happened two decades ago. At least the game came out. This company has done nothing but rip off its customers. They should go to prison for fraud.

[PrinceOfAnger]

@GravityWells

"You've already been told multiple times this is a PC game so stop trying to make this topic a console war thing"

If you watch their comment history you will know that they are Console/sony fanboys,
hating on this game on every article, saying scam etc some of them with the aloy profile pic , It's hypocritical for you to deny that, just go watch most of the hate comment on this game and their comment history. and you will know who they are.

[Tacoboto]

You are taking criticism of this scam game far too seriously, Prince. Far, far too seriously.

[LordoftheCritics]

''We have seen how killzone 2 2005 trailer looked like, same with first trailer for uncharted 4 and Tlou 2.''

This comment is called COPIUM

We have not only seen those games, but even played them.
YEARS AGO

Unlike SC whose BULLSHOT keeps getting more BULL

[MDTunkown]

Why you don’t mention crackdown and the power of cloud ?

[Storm23]

Not only did we play them, they were absolutely stunning for the time and had incredible gameplay.

[PrinceOfAnger]

@Lord

Lol people are playing SC for years now.

[Inverno]

You're also talking about games that weren't crowd funded, a very important distinction. And as a recall all those games got criticized for their reveal not matching the retail release graphics wise. You're choosing to ignore how bullshots have been universally panned by gamers while using examples that literally were used the criticize bullshots for the games you're using as an argument that sony doesn't get criticized for bullshotting. Which ironically you're criticizing but can't accept criticism for Star Citizen doing the same.

[DarXyde]

Mate, I'm going to offer some very simple and constructive advice:

The next time someone speaks ill of a game you are interested in, log out and go for a walk.

I really don't know what it is about you and CIG, but it seems unusually personal for you.

Maybe there's a history—you know someone working on it/did work on it for a while, you've worked on it yourself, you backed it, whatever. I don't care. I don't understand why you must rush to this game's defense, but do yourself a favor and ignore the comments.

[MDTunkown]

Dude that game release date is 2042, it’s just a bit above average graphic for that year

[Tacoboto]

All those high-end graphics and rendering systems, for a gameplay premiere that was nothing more than an on-rails turret shooter with AI set on a static scripted path.

These guys don't know how to make a game and management forced the devs to work 7 days a week for weeks leading up to this joke.

[Tacoboto]

There is no need to shill endlessly for a scam

[PrinceOfAnger]

@Tacoboto

But you will buy that scam with your money when it comes to your favorite plastic box right?

Are you telling me that if Squadron 42 release on Xbox / PS5 you will skip the game and play halo infinite instead?

[Tacoboto]

I uninstalled Infinite like six months ago, that ship sailed until they at least introduce a new weapon. And heck no, I'd get it on Steam.

If it becomes a real product that's actually good, yeah I'll certainly get it then. But right now that's a huuuge if

[PrinceOfAnger]

The game is certainly coming to console CIG said that multiple times، basically confirmed by CR, and now you admitted that you will buy This "Scam".

[MDTunkown]

I still believe we’ll reach that kind of graphic by the time the game gets released

[just_looken]

Always remember the leak that revealed they are almost out of that 750million they raised that is why the layoffs.

750 million for this.............

[Valkyrye]

Scam Artists

[Eonjay]

Right... the 'gameplay' wan't really that compelling at all.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

This and beyond & evil 2 we need these releases

[Hofstaderman]

More of a chance eventually getting Beyond Good and Evil 2 than this vapourware.

[just_looken]

beyond & evil 2 creative director actually died before the game came out its been in development so long its creators are reaching retirement age and or death.

That game will get finished or see a end when tencent takes over.

[anast]

It's true.

[boing1]

Why everybody is saying it's a scam? Are people forced to give them money or something? Looking at what they are trying to achieve, it has to burn a lot of it.

[dveio]

I have absolutely zero interest, knowledge or even the slightest thought about Star Citizen, but:

@PrinceOfAnger

God damn, you totally blasted away everything I thought what to expect in the comments here.

Seriously, I was amused (a Killzone trailer from 2005?what the ... ?).

But also very concerned at the same time.

Wow, that was almost even more intense to watch than the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan.

[Demetrius]

I never see why mfs actually believe in this game lol, this is the day before situation but it's been going on for years with this bs 🤣

[BlaqMagiq1]

Until this game comes out in full launch it and Star Citizen is an absolute SCAM

[Miraak82]

It's ready when they feel it's ready , I can't remember how many games in the past 10 years that were released that weren't complete or were broke messes . A lot of the times it would takes years after the "Official" launch for them to even come close to a complete or finished game . By then their reps were tarnished and some dev couldn't even finish the task leaving the product in the dust or unfinished ... FF15, MGS5 . It'll be almost 15 years of gta5 milking players to fund and support the development of gta6 which I'm guessing will have a 2 billion dollar budget , can't convince me that buying shark cards to buy vehicles and shit isn't the same as people buying ships and such
