Cloud Imperium has finally released the Social module for Star Citizen. According to the team, this module represents its first step into Star Citizen’s Persistent Universe. With this module, players will be able to enter your Hangar, load up Arena Commander and take the elevator to explore ArcCorp with other players.
Cloud Imperium’s Tony Zurovec said:
“The Social Module allows you to select from any of half a dozen character configurations and explore the first of many planetary landing zones – ArcCorp’s Area 18 – with up to 24 other players. You can communicate with other players via a chat system, and express yourself via a variety of different emotes. An augmented reality display system allows you to view additional information about various objects in the environment, including the names of other players. A number of retail shops can be inspected, although they’re not yet open for business.”
As Zurovec claimed, this module will allow Cloud Imperium to open up a bit more of the Star Citizen universe to the community, and allow people to get a sense as to what some of the various cities you’ll be able to visit will look like.
In addition it will serve as a testing ground for a multitude of fundamental technologies, as well as the basic foundation upon which new pieces of the Persistent Universe will be periodically unveiled.
Enjoy the following video from YouTube’s “UHDGaming,” showcasing this module in 4K resolution!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

I did a video on my GTX 970.

this looks very neat.
Looks pretty cool, despite the fact some textures “pop-in”.
I like how these ”patches” are 30GB.
It is uncompressed alpha code. You want an optimized finished product you can f*** off till 2017.
It just funny, I downloaded it in 45 minutes so the size isn’t a problem.
Yeah I have redownloaded arena commander already twice and I rarely go check out what’s new.
Take that motion blur crap off. It’s sucking the fps.

Godamnit.
Yeah well, just coming in voting my videos down now for no reason and not leaving comments. It’s probably the people who disagree with me here LOL. What a sad bunch.
Indeed. If it is any help already gave a upvote there. 😉
Thank you. 🙂 I actually forgot to put Afterburner on, the game crashed and I couldn’t get into the module a few times, still can’t because of a connection issue.
I’ve saw the guy commenting about the Afterburner, what a w@nker.
Ahh thanks.
Is it on YouTube? If so, what’s the name of your channel?
Put the link up again, I suppose I shouldn’t care about getting down votes on it. :p

A quote is born.
This looks soo fu…… EPIC !!!!
I love the look of the city background with smoke rising from towers and ships flying around.
And somewhere in it, is a game.
I wont bother downloading the new update since it would take days to download, But from all the footage out now it does look quite impressive what they have built so far.
Thanks.
wow, can I roam the whole planet?
That’s not planet. It’s big asteroid that was abandoned a long time ago and now it’s one of the safe zones for pirates and mercenaries. The big hole that you see in the ground is a city. You won’t roam entire asteroid but areas will be big enough for exploration like ArcCorp.
