Cloud Imperium Games released update Alpha 4.1 for its growing space simulator Star Citizen, bringing new content for players to enjoy.
With Invictus Launch Week 2955 underway, Cloud Imperium Games has revealed and released a new ship for its space sim Star Citizen.
One of the most relevant premises of Star Citizen will become reality tomorrow with the release of its biggest capital ship yet.
Chris Roberts really hit the jackpot with this thing. That guy has been living the high life based on broken promises, feature creeps, what ifs, non existence deadlines, roadmaps to roadmaps to roadmaps, and, no real games. But instead, an eternal Early Access buffoonery shit show that I imagine will be dragged all the way to the finish line one way or another. But when will that finish line will be, or how will it look like, it's anyone's guess. Something tells me it'll be the stuff of legends for sure, and something that will feed YouTuber's families for years to come.
Eleven fucking years... wow...
Having no version 1 deadline is crazy. Why couldn't they just release a complete Game and then continue developing it? At least then they could break the stigma?
That's the $800 million dollar question, isn't it? While a normal dev would've just done that, while spending the next 11 years updating, expanding, and supporting the game, Chris Roberts saw the possibilities in doing the complete opposite, took his shot, and hit the Jackpot instead. Unbelievable that it actually worked.
I guess we'll see just how much longer they can keep up with the charade - eleven more years? - before it all comes crashing down in classic Roberts fashion.
This game will never reach the finish line.. it will eternally be in early access, we'll be on GTA 10 before this game reaches 1.0
Invictus Launch Week 2955 has kicked off in Star Citizen, meaning that the game is also free to play for a limited time.
How much of the original KickStarter has been delivered? I'm just astounded, after looking it up, that a game that started development in 2013 with millions of dollars and now one of the most expensive games ever is still in Alpha after 12 years. Or is this one of those games where once it reaches full release, the game is completely done with and no updates will be made after that? Even then, talk about a long dev cycle.
12 years of Chris Roberts living the lifestyles of the rich and famous off our kickstater suckers dime.
