IGN has shared a new video, showing 6 minutes of gameplay footage from the latest version of Star Citizen. The mission showcased here is really boring – as you basically have to pick up a box and nothing more – however it shows the game’s beautiful visuals.
Star Citizen is currently in alpha phase and Cloud Imperium plans to release its next version, 3.2.0, in Q2 2018. This version will feature performance improvements that will increase overall framerate among all PC specs, as well as network code fixes to improve performance.
Cloud Imperium aims to release version 3.3.0 in Q3 2018, version 3.4.0 in Q4 2018 and version 3.5.0 in Q1 2019. This basically means that we’ll be lucky if the game comes out in 2019 (which obviously will not happen).
But anyway, enjoy the following video and stay tuned for more!

Well it is moving forward.
Snails move forward too. Just saying.
YEA. My friends and i love to bet on the friday night 1meter snail rally. Every monday morning we get up and look who won. We bettin big. We talking like millions of monopoly $$$. But the snails man, they always get to the destination.
One time they arrived at the finish line on a thursday. We laughed. We taught this was cool.
Now i’m a monopoly millionnaire who’s got nothing else to do in his spare time.
It’s gonna be the next No Man’s sky! Wait for it.

how many alts do you have boy? 🙂
5 years and it already starts to look like a dated techdemo. Another 5 and maybe they will finally add some kind of gameplay. But by that time nobody would probably care about a generic space MMO with $1000 pay2win ships
Dated tech Demo really? . Suprpassed by what equivalent game on this planet? There is none and this is why haters try to have a life hating this project.
45$ pledge not 1000$. No need to spend an extra $ and SC is the opposite of P2W. Ships will be available with in game credits, pldeged ships arte not superiori… they jsut allow you knopw what?… Game development.
Grow up boy.
Looks amazing, can’t wait for the performance improvements in the pipeline to get implemented.
Looks dull af. A Shame, it was hyped just way tooooooo much
IGN purposely showed a dull mission so they could make a clickbait title.
Star citizen . A whole new way to get lootboxes . . . . . .
Lootboxes.. not as single one. Pleding for a ship is the opposite of a lootboxe…
Looks as “deep” and “engaging” as your average tech demo to be honest.
Still waiting for someone to show me a “Star Citizen Game” and not a “Star Citizen branded CryEngine tech demo”…
It does.

in 100 years this game releases
No because you can play SC now, we know what content is currently in it, CIG are delivering, just later than first thought.
They delivered the Planet Tech, the ship redesigns, the multicrew, the basic missions, the EVA, landing on moons, teaming up with friends, Beacons, basic trade, carrying cargo, grabby hands, outposts, NPCs pirates, 4 moons, interdiction, realtime damage and breaking of ship parts, damage to different parts of the ships, persistent cargo, basic persistence, ship system control of shield, heat, engines, weapons, buying outfits, armour and weapons, ship refitting, wrecks on moons and in space. status system for when you do illegal things and able to hack a computer at and outpost in space station to repair your status.
It would go a long way in Roberts credibility if he would at least admit that some of the delays are due to his obsession with making this game perfect in every way and maybe also come crash landing back into reality with the rest of us. No game will ever be perfect in every way.
Not too hype with this,but I’ll wait for final product patiently…
How it runs nowaday do you need something like a 1080 minimum or a 980ti at very high settings 1080p can do a decent job like 40+fps at least?
No I do have a four years rig with I5 x4 cores and GTX 780 and got 30 fps.
This is Alpha and performance improvment are done along the way with a focus in 2018.
Already +10 fps through the last patch. But forget to play even after release in 4k with a dual cores and entry level GPU… Even consoles do have now some sort of 4k capabilities.
Depends on server. I sometimes get 30 fps with GTX 680, sometimes 15 fps with GTX1080. When the server is empty, you will get more than 45 FPS. Less players means less lag. That problem should be fixed with patch 3.3 with Object container system.
SUre. Call girls the main base of SC Backers which are mainly seniors people at your leisure 🙂
Just have a look to Foxio link a few comment above to see what a video can show.
Don’t like to play football or tennis? Don’t
Same for guys floating in space. Where have you seen you are forced to do? play the game that please you… and especially those who are released.. 🙂
This project is in development, come back end of year to see progress and have a life in meantime 🙂
I thought Sea of Thieves was already dubbed the next No Man’s Sky?
