"With films you tell stories but with games you create worlds. If you've played my games, you’ll know that's what I love to do. I'm here to tell you that I have been working on something for just under a year, something that embraces everything that my past games stood for but takes it to the next level.
"I hope you’ll be as excited by it as I am. My new endeavor is still in its early stages but I invite you to take the journey with me."

teaser site (for now only showing a countdown to Ocktober 10)

I'm torn between excited and very sceptic about this

[Eisberg]

Pleeeeeeease let it be another Wing Commander type game

Pleeeeeeease let it be another Wing Commander type game

or a Wing Commander: Privateer

aww memories of the real Origin

[vertual]

Check out the Time Capsule on the website. It looks like it's being added to daily.

It's going to be a space game no doubt, probably similar to Wing Commander, maybe even a Privateer seeing the latest time capsule post. Looks like you could buy your own short range explorer ship for low cost back in 2140.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!

I Chris Roberts!!!!

[Sobek]

So long as it's a single player game, all is well

Pleeeeeeease let it be another Wing Commander type game

[Mangler]

I hope it's not a p2w/f2p mmo.

I want a singleplayer game.

Check out the Time Capsule on the website. It looks like it's being added to daily.

Ah, I see. I forgot that there is a password. The password is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Then you can access all of the website that isn't closed off at the moment.

I enjoyed Wing Commander III. Can't say I played any of his other games though.

Anyhow, really enjoying X3 so but feels it is lacking a whole lot. So I "enlisted", here's hoping his game is as epic as our technology allows for. Says he enjoys creating worlds so... let's see what he has to offer.

w00t!

THIS

[Napoleonic]

Built on top of Crytek’s award winning CryEngine3 technology,

didn't expected that

Watched the hour long video conference, that trailer was in game.

It's MMO, but with a strong single player storyline he said. Lots of good ideas, and I think he can pull it off if he's allowed.

Actually, when you see the ship's interior I did get a Crysis vibe out of that.

[Riptide]

Watched trailer.

Do want.

With this, Project Eternity, Wasteland 2, and so many other oldschool franchises and developers making long-awaited returns, is this the resurgence PC gaming has needed for years now?

[Sundance Kid V2]

TAKE MY WIFE !!!!

TAKE MY WIFE !!!!

YEAH

AWE$OME trailer. Been wondering when someone was going to go this route again. X3 was good but just a tad too resource intensive(game wise not hardware) for my taste. Miss the days of just flying around blasting stuff.

[Redeemed]

What I really like is how it's going to have a massive game universe, and a strong story like you'd find in a SP game but with the option to deviate from the story if you like.

All in all this sounds like what I've been waiting for (or close enough).

[Mangler]

Have they mentioned if it is subscription based or f2p?

[badboy]

who do I give my credit card to?

can I mail them my credit card with my code?

[Qb2k5]

w00t!

OMG OMG OMG!

Holy ****!!!!

I hope this is the type of graphics we get with next gen consoles (Xbox/PS4).

[Saggypoo]

Have they mentioned if it is subscription based or f2p?

Looking at the pledge page, it seems to have some sort of currency you get for in game. You'll probably buy the box and have other stuff like ship skins or whatnot in a store. We'll see if 'pay to win' pops up in this.

[CoolNitro]

Damn I'm loving the level of detail in that carrier, I admire the fact that the dev is going full attention to details, immersion, and simulation because imo this is the direction PC games of the future should be going. I hope that other developers take note.

[Progression]

So, when is it out?

[Ego]

2014 , with a playable alpha planned for 2013.

[Greasy]

Can't wait for this!!!

[RSViper]

A space sim with an open world similar to Skyrim would be amazing. This looks fantastic, let's hope the gameplay delivers too.

[Thorney]

In a big nod to Robert Heinlein, you earn your citizenship through mandatory military service.

This sounds like Starlancer and Freelancer all over again - but this time without any concessions to Microsoft by having to scale down both games until they no longer resemble the overly ambitious original design plan.

Translated into MMO game mechanics, sounds like once you complete your career of structured missions the game turns into a more freestyle Elite experience. That could be cool provided everyone can interact with everyone in the same game world and not have everything instanced out and tightly segregated... like Star Trek Online. I guess Squadron 42 as a single player game factors in this too. You finish that, gaining player experience as well as exportable game bling, before heading into Star Citizen.

So right here are two ingenious solutions. How not to be a clueless newbie when first starting a MMO. What to do after rushing through an MMO's finite supply of scripted content.

Let's face it. Canned MMO tutorials just aren't cutting it. They do not give an average player the vital practical experience he/she needs to survive in multiplayer. They get frustrated. They rage quit the game - in individual matches and eventually walk away from a game altogether. That's been the last two years for me. Wishing the majority of a player base had more patience, wouldn't give up so easy. That they spent just a little time learning how to play - what all the keys are - what are the objectives.

Squadron 42 and Star Citizen sold separately of course. They're promising a one time only purchase - no subscription fees - obligatory MMO store with not-pay-to-win items.
