Cloud Imperium has released a mind-blowing video commercial for its upcoming PC exclusive, Star Citizen. As the team noted, everything in this video is rendered in-game, meaning that these are the visuals that PC gamers will get to enjoy. And oh boy does Star Citizen look sexy. Star Citizen is powered by CRYENGINE and looks way better than anything we’ve seen this far. Enjoy!

Just watched this in @Umair Khan comment, not going to watch it again, you gotta keep up with the things John!
😛
All of these videos are available in 4k . Awesome. Now , I’m really wondering what kind of PC will be required to play this at higher settings .
I have 2x Radeon R9 280X and I don’t think that will be enough to play it maxed out at 60 FPS. 🙁
Gratz to the dev team. Looks awesome. Thanks for keep pushing our hardware. My 780 sli is ready
Best visuals ever seen in a video game before . Looks like JJ Abrams Star Trek movie .
Star Citizen is the game that PC TRULY DESERVES .
EDIT : Lol in the end of the commercial , it says “No Alien lives were harmed in the making of this commercial”
Thanks John , for posting other videos as well . They also showed new hangars . Look way better than current ones .
“But but but Corridor 1886 , cinematic” .
In my humble opinion, The Order 1886 looks mediocre. Seriously, that doesn’t even come near to being ‘realistic’ like this Glorious Star Citizen. 1886 is a bit too cartoonish to be even called ‘cinematic’. But that’s the best those peasants can get so they’ll be more than happy with it.
First video “constellation commercial” is realtime or render ? It’s hard to tell, because It looks so spectacular
I just downloaded 4K verison, and it really looks like it could be done on current high end GPU’s. BTW. I like music theme in that video, brings “2001 space odyssey” memories to life 🙂
Why so much Vram ? There are already benchmarks ? If it’s Cryengine, Vram usage should be normal, because that engine is no Vram monster :). Even with maldo superb textures (never seen better in ANY game) Vram usage was still normal.
It is in-engine footage , rendered in realtime and uses 100% in-game assets . So yeah , these are in-game visuals .
The more we see , the better the visuals become because they update their assets . Graphics including anti-aliasing , character models etc are going to look even better in upcoming trailers and of course in the final game .
Nice to hear that Umair, thanks :). Eya, it makes sense, they will update graphic even more in the final game :).
Mind = Blown
This game looks good, but honestly not better than anything I’ve already seen before. The ships look really nice and the way light properly bounces off the metal looks great but other than that? Sorta meh. Very overblown game. Certain to disappoint.
Fantastic opinion full of BS. But it is your opinion.
Read the name . Everything will become clear .
Sorry man but I don’t get the reference. Am I missing something?
I’ve upset crybabies like him before, so he was warning you that I don’t enshrine my PC and pray to it while licking the power supply like you guys do.
Sorry but your interpretation of upsetting someone yet getting called out while not being able to back your statement with facts is a horrible assumption. You should troll better.
I recommend staying off the internet until you gain your senses. Trust me, it”s be better for you in the long run.
You can’t back an opinion with facts, that would make it facts and not opinion. Graphical fidelity is subjective. I could waste my time posting screen grabs of games that look better while you close your eyes and cover your ears and shout “nope nope nope” or I could move on and live my life – something you seem to be severely lacking.
Graphical fidelity is subjective. Nope.
We are not talking about how one considers “8 bit” to be the king of art versus “3D with all the bells and whistles” to also be the king of art.
This is an argument based on your “I have seen better” but yet you can’t provide me with proof of better regardless of anyone’s subjective opinion.
I will not respond anymore you only intend to speak in circles while never actually accomplishing anything.
All I can do is laugh at your brain melting stupidity. Enjoy carrying on whatever semblance of a life you have, strange creature.
for you. suck it
“Graphical fidelity is subjective”
no it’s not, stupid. art and artistic graphics are subjective. technical graphics are facts
“I’ve upset crybabies”
by crying every where ?
Phil Spencer . Head of Xbox division .
I didn’t think along those lines as I honestly try to avoid any and all interest when it comes to heads in charge of console divisions even if named Bill. Thanks for the clarification.
Giving your opinion about my opinion doesn’t make you more correct than me.
You should clean your monitor seems you got a bit of stupid on it obscuring your view.
Yeah I know, this name “Brain Flush” keeps popping on the screen but I can’t seem to get rid of it.
Well spelling also seems to be a problem just as are your eyes. But nice quick edit to correct my name.
Also where are these magical games that look so much better than SC? I would really like to know. I have over 1200 games and none give me the kind of visuals that SC does.
A typo isn’t improper spelling, but it’s cute that you think that. Your grammar and syntax, however, need much improvement.
You have no games that look as good as star citizen because you play on the one platform with 90% shovelware. If every game you play is done on the source engine, of course it’s going to look bad. I’ve seen several games on next gen consoles alone that look as good as Star Citizen or better. It’s really not that great looking of a game.
Nah you aren’t the first bumbling fool to say Brian in a fit of rage. But it’s ok, use that big Brain and maybe one day everything will fall into place, no it won’t.
Now on to this part about “shovelware and all games are source engine” and your statement “I’ve seen several games on next gen consoles” tells me I have no reason to continue this conversation any further as you finally show yourself for what you are, a troll.
I thought maybe you had seen something and could prove it but unfortunately it turns out you are a literal waste of space.
I’m trolling because I don’t suck Chris Roberts’ dick and worship a game machine as my God? I’m trolling because my opinion doesn’t line up with your opinion?
Im trolling because you don’t understand how basic sentence structure works?
Whatever you need to say to help yourself sleep. Enjoy your day.
I don’t care who makes the games, sorry I am not a fan of people like in movies or music, I just like the end product. Unfortunately for you it seems you have a chip on your shoulder, and it could be due to many reasons none of which I can ever give a flying F about.
Click my profile to add me on Steam and I will give you a game just so you can have your first ever PC game which can finally put some perspective on your angry console opinion without facts guy attitude.
“I don’t suck Chris Roberts’ di*k”
you deserve sony’s di*k or pixelated MS’s di*k
Show us these great looking games with proper screenshots that are actually out you keep banging on about, that are way better than PC games.
Guys , stop responding to trolls . When people like him invade articles like these and hate on everything without any reason , rest assured that the game looks fantastic and making lot of people jelly .
He has been called out his entire life.
it’s a Fact, your opinion = sh*t
*whispering* Dude, are you crazy? People here are part of some sect or something. Complete lunatics. Dont even try. Your opinion is irrelevant here. You must go by book or risking death. I know SC looks like classic cryengine stuff, but it is pc exclusive (so far), crowd funded and GOD said “looks way better than anything we’ve seen this far” so keep quiet, lay low and try to get out of here unhurt. Bloody immaculates.
So glad I backed this. And I really cannot wait to see my Retaliator in a commercial!
Truly shows the power of CryEngine!
Looking really good so far, I was totally surprised with the racing part and can’t wait for the early build of the FPS module later this year.
Everything looks nice, but those face animations in the first video.. jeez.. they need to work on that a bit. When the captain looks at the planet, he looks like he’s high as a kite.
These are the very first character models they received from their partners . Before that , they were just using base model in the hangar and stuff . Lot of work is left to be done . In short , facial animations will look one step ahead of Ryse : Son of Rome (According to Chris) .
Star Citizen Developers! These are the guys who knows the Power of Holy PC Master Race! Thank You guys for bringing the Best ever game to PC!
“Holy PC Master Race?”
Lmao, you guys are truly warped, sad human beings.
I think it’s a joke that flew over your head.
filthy peasant. get lost, 720p awaits
Haha! that’s right!
This is just brilliant, shows you what can be achieved when your not held back by huge coporations only looking to make millions and also forced to hold back due to the limitations of consoles.
So none of this game had anything to do with the 40+ million earned in crowd funding? Interesting perspective.
your reply is a little confusing, and I think you read my reply wrong, I mentioned how brilliant it looks and that all this is possible without HUGE corporations( be it console manufacturers/publishers thinking about profit than anything else) and also being a PC title doesnt need to conform with set hardware and they can do as they please with the amount of polygons etc, as for the crowd source that isn’t what I argue on since the original amount that was asked is bizarlly so low compared to where it is now.
And if you wish to argue about the money, yes it does help but even without money people can create brilliant things.
So lastly I argued against Consoles and Publishers (which are holding back the industry , I don’t mind consoles as I have no problem playing on one(nor developing for) so long as it doesn’t interfere with my idea’s, what I do have a problem with is shady and uneeded interferance that consoles can create for the industry
yet still, it counts as an indie title. get it ? crowd funding
wow, that Constellation trailer blew my mind, Kubrick style 😀
I got goosebumps just from seeing the title
They’re really ramping up the visuals on this game, but like any demo, once you start incorporating gameplay elements your computer will quickly bottleneck. Just imagine these visuals, plus physics, interactive elements, a crew all going about different tasks, talking with the server, HUD elements updating, hit detection, AI bots flying around…
We’re going to need something bigger than an i7. Much bigger.
