Support NeoGAF

Building on last year’s phenomenal show, CitizenCon 2954 promises to be an even more expansive and immersive affair, and a place where we can once again come together to share our victories, while looking forward to an ever brighter tomorrow.

Strap in pilot, and prepare yourself for an interstellar adventure you’ll never forget. If there was ever a CitizenCon NOT to miss, it’s this one. The countdown starts now.

Citizencon 2954 is being held at the Manchester Central convention complex this year. Hometown of the main studio.

Here's the schedule for saturday 19th and sunday 20th.

These are BST times, so quite early for east coast, even earlier for pacific. But the videos are available after show either way.

-REDACTED - @ 12:30 EST / 9:30 PST should be Squadron 42 by all rumour accounts.

Streams will be available at Twitch & Youtube

It would be greatly appreciated, for those of us that do care to watch & discuss the stream, to not have disrupters with no interest in this game to just come for a quick dopamine one liners. There's already plenty of threads for that on this forum. You can have a party with this guy. Or make your own thread.

You're interested enough to start the stream this early in the mornin to see what is going on with the project but have a negative comment about what you see on the stream? Disappointed with what you see? Then you're welcome here. If it's for talking about the stream. I am not saying it's a safe space with unicorns and all is good in Star Citizen land. I'll have my own disappointments, more than very likely.

Please respect those that are interested in discussing this citizencon. We're not many playing the MMO on Neogaf, but we're all just gamers wanting to see what's next. I've had great conversations with members on this place who will probably never buy this game but they respected different point of views and we met half way. Please keep in mind.

End of disclaimer.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him.

Starts in 4 hours as of this posting. Off to sleep. See you in the morning.

There is still some time until 2954. Maybe they will have a demo.

Back when Hammil recorded all his shit for SQ42 I actually still liked him.

I'll have to catch the YouTube version on demand when I wake up.

First thing I thought. There is some real self-awareness going on, lol.

 

[Ribi]

Soon tm

 

[Thief1987]

They are teasing release date in the event name?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

S42 is one of my most anticipated games after Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

What an original joke. I'm gonna remember it so I can use it in the next Star Citizen thread.

Shhh folks around here don't take too kindly to that sort of talk.

[midnightAI]

Hmmmm, should I go?....... Nah

 

[KyoZz]

So Mark Hamill basically confirmed for that "Redacted" panel. Just give me a freakin release date for SQ42.

 

[RJMacready73]

I assume this is PC only, has there ever been talk about a next gen console release? Tbh I've been following this game for years like everyone else but it's always still so far away, the feature creep is insane but the features themselves are insane, I really do hope they manage to bring it together but what's the business model once they do?

Don't give them any ideas about consoles mate, been waiting for the PC releases long enough already.

Only Squadron 42 should eventually get a console release.

5 000 people attending the presentation in-person, what a niche game, lol

[Buggy Loop]

So far so good with that planet tech

Insane density, seams removed, no pop-in? And looks much better? Yes please

HOLY shit the swamp

 

[RJMacready73]

Tbf I'm looking forward to the next technology demo, those have always been insanely impressive

 

[Lord Panda]

That swamp and jungle density ...

 

[TVexperto]

What a fucking joke, looks worse than games from 10 years ago. The destruction they showed last year is STIL not in the game. 5 new tree types how amazing lol

Snippets so far look really impressive given that these biomes are intended to be generated at vast scales. I'd like to see some real-time demos though.

Yeah, I love technology, but these presentations are just relatively dry fillers to be digested on the side. The interesting info and demos are obviously saved for later.

 

[pasterpl]

Hopefully we get a Squadron 42 release date.

It is in the name of the event - it will be year 2954 /s

Go look at that rain scene.

Sweet baby Hey Zeus

 

[nowhat]

As they say, "nomen est omen". This conning of citizens will continue to 2954. But you can bet your ass Squadron 42 will be ready by then!

Hey, there are large Scientology conferences too.

 

[Vlodril]

There is always such a weird You must spend your money according to my beliefs and Stop having fun in SC threads.

 

[Comandr]

Holy shit. Just saw the weather segment. Looking excellent. So far a great citcon.

 

[Snake29]

 

[mitch1971]

Fuck I'm 5 minute bus ride away from there.

 

[Imtjnotu]

2040 release date. Calling it

 

[AV]

Just watch out for the spiceheads on your way out.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Wow pre rendered visuals, can't wait to see them at 15 fps

 

[Comandr]

What I’d really like to see is more tools to deal with griefers. Honestly I’d really like to have a PVP flag toggle. Sometimes I just want to be space trucker or miner without being gang banged the moment I leave the planet.

The number of times I’ve been in the middle of a hauling run - landing at an outpost to buy or sell, and some asshole just comes and blows my ship up because there’s no real penalty for doing so. Great. Now I’m stranded on this butthole of a planet unless I suicide I guess. Then I’ll just wait a cool 20 minutes for my claim for my ship I guess.

It’s just needlessly punishing and really pushes me away from this gameplay.

If my pvp flag is off, me, and everything I own is protected from player threats unless I engage them first, where my flag auto toggles off.

If not that, much more severe punishments for players engaging in non-consensual PVP. If you shoot me down, and steal all of my stuff, you shouldn’t be allowed to just fly down to the planet I just came from and sell my stuff.

Yeah, how dare up to 150K concurrent users have fun in the alpha when it makes deep gushing wounds in TVexperto's feelings. It's not fair!

I'm kinda in the same boat. Which is f.ex. why I stopped playing Sea of Thieves. I know they have some mechanisms in place to stop griefing in SC, I'm sure it'll get better now when the systems are coming together and the universe explanded. Luckily I haven't experienced much griefing when hauling lately.




Edit: Just saw the demo of someone walking around in the improved dynamic weather system at night. It's so good!

5000 sweaty dudes who got conned.
Same as every year a whole lot of talking with 0 showing. Just some obviously fake pre rendered bs.

The grift steadies on.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Watching it delayed cause I had morning routine with kids

Just saw the cloud and rain tech. Amazing. Finally the planets are getting dynamic. Feels like Microsoft flight sim st space scale, insane.

You know what, those "sweaty dudes" look like chads compared to a pathetic clown spending all his time on a forum trying to talk down on people who simply try to enjoy a videogame.
