This is like Duke Nukem Forever, except if the people who pre-ordered it had kept on pre-ordering more copies every few months and the money for that had gone directly to 3D Realms.

Don’t expect to be playing Star Citizen’s single-player campaign, Squadron 42, anytime soon; Chris Roberts wants to avoid buggy release
- Thread starter Poetic Injustice
- Start date
Bet you he's still hoping another company jumps in so he can walk away like with what happened with Freelancer. I think it was sometime in 2018 he absolved himself of terrible timeframe.
This is always going to be my favorite development project, I want to see how far he can go.
Did they ever get the roadmap for a roadmap out?

Squadron 42 should have never have even been announced alongside Star Citizen. Get the main game out and running before focusing on anything else.
This is why directors shouldn't be their own producers without the right skills, you get overly-ambitious directors who can't be told when to stop because they need to actually launch their game at some point instead of piling on everything you can think of.

Surprised he didn't shoehorn in some kind of 'we also want to make sure our developers don't have to crunch' or some spin on it too.
Wonder if he posted this from his yacht.

Yeah okay thats why I won't be playing, what a waste of money, luckily I only contributed the minimum at the time for the game and basic ass ship
Elden Ring probably has the best shot out of all of them to be honest.
Yes, buggy release is the reason the game won't be shown or coming out any time soon. It's absolutely nothing else. I totally believe it.

Teslas, expensive furniture and futuristic sliding doors in the office I imagine.
Isn't there some sort of multiplayer element that's already playable? I feel like I read that somewhere.
This is obviously a scam, just like Bernie Madoff was. Many people believed in Madoff. Sure, some of the money is used for a little development, they have to keep appearances after all for money to keep coming in. It might have even started with good intentions, but for a long time now they have seen they can get away with anything and so this has turned into a well oiled system.

Not gonna lie, I really wanna see how it's coming along these days.
We're nearing the point in time where it's visuals are no longer a generation above the rest but "good" - and that point will be past in a year or two too.
Hopefully the gameplay will live up to the expectations and hopefully it'll come out in the next year or so. From the plan a while back it should be in Alpha these days and with Covid it should be "ready" around the end of 2021? At least if they still follow the last known release plan at least roughly.

that's the Star Citizen portion which is playable. I think in the same note they mention something like 30K DAUs
This game is never going to get released.
Yet people will continue to financially back it.
Not to be crass, but this kind of feels like a Trump-style grift...
Just a reminder that Mark Hamill has acted in 3 Star Wars sequels since he did the mocap for this game.
From their latest trailer I think the graphics are still looking pretty top notch. The multiplayer portion is also looking better every quarter, the December patch had some massive graphical improvements to the planets and atmosphere, including volumetric stuff in space.
They aren't really showing anything for the S42 but given they're being developed in tandem I think it's fair to use Star Citizen as a judge of its general progress.

Hope Digital Foundry will do another series on the really impressive tech behind SC without looking at how it was implemented during these 9 years lmao
It was meant to be released in 2016! It was meant to have a Beta this year!
Only an idiot would buy the excuse that they don't want to do a Cyberpunk by having a messy incomplete launch, when by his own admission it's no where near close to the semi-playable state Cyberpunk is in.
Didn't it take them 6 months to make the one and only episode?
The new roadmap is as clear as mud. So much effort put into making a DIRT style GUI to convey as little information as possible.
They still got like $200k per day on average via donations this year.
From ships games. They just announced their new one too soon.
I truly believe this is an endless development scam. I wish people would stop giving this project money.
This is the weakest possible position to be throwing stones. Think of the dev whose entire resumé since graduating is "working on Star Citizen assets".
Meanwhile, in Elite Dangerous...

That right there is the real reason they won't release anytime soon. They are going to make 80 million this year. What incentive do they have to release?
