Anyone have any thoughts on this, my brother just showed me it, its already made $22,000,000 in kickstart money... apparently its gonna be Eve but real Sim, and u can walk around in space stations, in your ship, have friends jump on your gun turrets... etc

I just got back into Eve and of course someone has to make a new fricken MMO ...

The lvl of detail they are showing just seems to be hand waving an taking away from what really matters. Game play. They can have an many moving parts and beds and doors and toilets as they want but if the ship flies like a GTA in space i'm gonna pass.

Oh dear another game is coming out where you can fly spaceships, lets automatically assume they will be competing for playerbase and have the same game mechanics. This is like saying that we must compare Age of Empires II and Chivalry because there are people with swords and bows.

While Star Citizen may be an MMO in its strictest terms, the game is going to be instanced more than, dare I say, World of Warcraft.

Just do the smart thing like me and many others . . . play both Cool

Well most likely two reason I won't play it....

1. Wait...

Hrm... I just realized I most likley would. I was going to say I hate twitch based combat, but I love War Thunder.

As long as Star Citizen has bombers that I'll probaly take a look.

2. My computer most likley won't handle it.

Also I prefer larger ship simulations. All this panzy fighters have no place when ships are over 5km long.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

Yeah people have thoughts on this... like in all the other countless threads on this where people talk about star citizen. Just be glad CCP lets you post this. That's what makes CCP different. Most game companies would ban you for talking about competing games on their company's forums. I mean really people...

*edit* on second thought....

Maybe I'll give this whole kickstarter thing a try. I could start an internet spaceship gambling company. I'll tell investors that I will make money by selling GTC's and getting affiliate commissions. I'll kick back some game currency credits towards the purchases to make it a no-brainer to buy game time through my company rather than, um, the game company itself. Then after I raise a few million, I'll do my best to implement it. If I end up spending all the millions of dollars on my salary, expenses, and friends I hire as consultants, oh well at least I tried.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

This is not, by any means, a 'new EVE'. It is not comparable to EVE, being of a completely different style of gameplay. It is, in fact, more comparable to Valkyrie. EVE is still something else entirely. Just because they are both in space does not mean they are comparable... take Star Wars vs Event Horizon for example.

To be honest, this is the creator of Wing Commander we're talking about. Star Citizen looks epic. I intend to get it, play it, but I'll never leave EVE.

Well, the more it goes, the more they will share...

Twitch control? There's that upcoming CCP game that shares a name with EVE and nothing else... Methink they call it Valkyrie?
Fully animated starships? Bastion mode is coming your way, hoozah!
Cybernetic limbs? Grab a mistery code and reskin your arm!

I think that the official name of that is "leading behind the heels" and describes how a company rules its niche by imitating -poorly- what others companies do/plan to do.

Well, i am unlikely to throw away my investment with EVE, too. But I only play one complex game at a time, and this means that CCP will be seeing less of my monies.

Of course, a company selling a subscription based game can do well if just 10 or 15% of its subscribers are handing their time and money to another company, as long as the aforementioned company is obtaining alternate income from other sources -that is, selling other games. EVE subscriptions can fall as long as other CCP games pay for it, but then, dwindling returns also mean dwindling resources invested into the shrinking game.

This game, even if it only delivers 75% of what it has promised will be truly awesome. Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!
