re: Star Citizen (PC Only Space Game)

I'm pretty sure they're not looking to release the whole thing until late 2015 or early 2016. There's still a ton of work and development left for this game.

Having said that, I am a backer and the game is absolutely beautiful. It's still in early alpha, but the very core of the gameplay is pretty solid. There still needs to be a lot of work on the flight model, the UI, and definitely the controls, but they've gotten a lot of stuff right. The damage models and ship systems in this game are insane, and make for some pretty interesting emergent gameplay. Example, the cooling system is located physically on the ship and it gets blown off. Suddenly my guns are overheating super quick, which means I have to switch tactics. Or I have some thrusters blown off and suddenly my agile little ship is flying like a dump truck on ice skates.

It will be interesting to see how well they setup and blend their FPS portion of the game with the flight sim portion.
