Chris Roberts has unveiled the name of his space sim project. Star Citizen, the crowd-funding title, is using a modified CryEngine 3 and will release in 2014 at the earliest but with playable alpha-builds that should come soon. Screens and a cinematic trailer inside.

Sorry Chris Roberts but for a SpaceFlight Sim those running animations that don't matter at all are just don't doing it for me.

I believe this crowd sourcing tactic will produce some wildly successful and innovative games in the future. Here's hoping a decent story is included..
Don't care about the run animations,this is WIP,and not a final game ! Some stuff are placeholders and will be addressed at a later point as they do not matter right now and are just there to give the idea!
Glad Chris is making another game !
kickstarter wasn't "direct" enough for him

The AMD Radeon HD 5870, a DirectX 11 hardware compliant level graphics card was released in late 2009 so what graphics 3d engine is this game using and is actually built given what we know of game development as a Dx 11 game? it should be more impressive honestly... thinking back on the old 3d graphics in the non-gameplay 3dmark 05, 3dmark 06a nd 3dmark Vantage where they each featured some space battle stuff and even taking into account that the graphics in this game look like they are pushing more polys... there is something off. like its not impressive enough... lets see what happens with the final game and how it will run and what it will require then.
Now who do you think funds or how do you think Futuremark get their money/funds to display their little useless tech demos that were released years ago?
And yes we all and I do understand they are trying to make a game... but its on the PC platform where people usually own $400+ graphics card, the CPU will set you for a current decent one t minimum $150+, $more for memory, $ more for a real gamers motherboard, etc, not to mention that Windows Vista and 7 each cost when released from $200 to $300.
And we all know how arrogant those "crazies" can be right?

Too bad the running animations make this a rental. I think I was close to throwing up when I saw those 2 seconds of animations.

PC gamers are actually the ones who are enthusiastic about this and not crying about relatively minor cosmetic details. And FYI most PC developers create their games to scale to a variety of hardware configurations, and most actual PC gamers are not people who are going out and spending $300-400 on a new GPU every year.
Lord knows what Futuremark has to do with any of this. The make demos and benchmarks. They're not pretending to make games. Well, except that game they made, which is actually pretty good. So.. Who cares? Not most PC gamers, I can tell you that. This world you've created mostly lives in fanboys heads.
You sound bitter about it too.
