Yeah the final release is supposed to be 1080p. I'm more concerned about what percentage of players are going to have insurmountable issue with motion sickness.

I think that it's great that the public tries to play detective.

I think it is totally disillusional.

I hope next time something happens, Cutter and NKD are falsely accused and their famalies receive death threats and everything that happened to those accused in this matter. It is NOT OK. And for you to think it is, is worse than the bombing itself.

Why? Wtf did I do? I said it was irresponsible to accuse people of crimes they may or may have not committed if you don't for certain. You think people should be blamed for crimes they didn't commit?

In his frothing childish rage, he misread your post.

I just thought of something, survival horror shooters are never going to be the same again with this thing.....

Oh ffs, can you imagine Amnesia on this fucking thing...

May need to order some adult diapers...

As for headlook/mouselook etc, I don't know how it will work. VR "just works" when you're talking a fixed player location, ie. seated in a mech or plane or car. You use your head to look around but you're always rooted in a constant location (even if that location happens to be mobile). In FPS, your body is in constant motion and if you have headlook independent of mouselook, I think it'll rapidly get confusing as to where your cross hair is pointed (we're so used to aiming at the middle of the screen for example). Can you imagine using a head controller for your aim point and trying to rocket jump..?

I could care less if they ask. Why anyone would buy this crap for an unseen freemium game in the first place boggles my mind however. Whatever, it's there money and no sweat off my sack.

FU the industry that ignored space sims..obviously there was more than a niche market out there. FU.

Not so fast...

Don't mean to rain on the parade, quite the contrary as I am pretty enthusiastic about Star Citizen myself and backed the project, but I think we need to acknowledge that in spite of the seemingly overwhelming success of this fund-raiser, there are still "only" a little over 60K people who were willing to pledge for this space sim so far.
60K people is nothing. Even 2x 60K is still nothing. Numbers like that mean that we are firmly and deeply in "niche market" territory.

We should not be totally blinded by the success of this campaign. Looking at the whole picture there is plenty of reason for concern. Space sims are a niche (how many people do you know who own a flight controller of some sort?) and will continue to be an endangered species with a serious risk of extinction if CR fails to deliver... which, btw, isn't that unlikely at all.
Reminiscing the Origin and Digital Anvil days, I remember hefty delays and cut features and if you check out CR's bio (on Wikipedia) you can see he definitely has a bit of a hit & miss track record.
He's not the messiah and this ain't the Second Coming.

Plenty of penny pinching negativity here. But dont worry Americanos, we got this. You can come and join the party later.

Thanks man! Please don't come cry here when he inevitably fails to produce Elite 4 yet again, k?

You do realise everyones laughing at you, right?

Pretty sure your grasp of the term "everyone" is pretty shaky. Also pretty sure that feminists laugh when they are scared and have nothing else to fall back on.

You shouldn't be doling out the label of "stupid" when you clearly didn't comprehend my point. Throwing out a straw man argument doesn't help either. Keep on keeping on with that feminist crap though. Pretty sure your grandma would slap the shit out of you for crying over someone sending you a sex quiz link compared to some of the stuff she probably endured and didn't complain about. Grow a pair.

As someone who works in the gaming industry I have to say his numbers look about right. Once you start considering countries like China and Brazil the piracy rates shoot through the roof. The entire comment is about those countries, but everyone here takes it as an attack on western gamers, that is funny in so many ways.

Western gamers are directly affected so of course we weigh in, I'm not sure why that is funny.

It's not funny that we weigh in, it's funny that we think we're the entire world.

And while I get that we're not, we've very specific in our gaming. Sony has found that out now that Microsoft is dominating the US - Western gamers like a certain type of game. Chinese gamers like a different game.
Anyone trying to cater to both will get burned very badly.
