I finally pre-paid Star Citizen today, only $30 USD for the full game with Beta access. This is going to be a very different game than ED, but that's not a bad thing. They will both co-exist with different gameplay emphasis, and from what I have seen, different markets with some cross-over. Anyone else in here backed Star Citizen ? May be fun to get together some ED players for a Star Citizen clan / guild / group if anyone is interested. ...

If you're a Massively regular, you're no doubt aware of that since we spammed up our front page and your RSS feed with gobs of hands-on coverage including everything from racing games to The Elder Scrolls Online . One thing we didn't cover was Star Citizen , because thankfully, Cloud Imperium's upcoming space sim sandbox didn't bother with an official E3 presence.

Star Citizen tops $10 million, mocap studio a go

It's a good day to be Chris Roberts or one of the Cloud Imperium game developers working on Star Citizen. The upcoming space sim sandbox finally conquered the $10 million crowdfunding summit earlier this afternoon, and as a result, CIG will build its own motion capture studio. "We hit the unbelievable mark of ten million dollars and, as promised, we're adding an Optitrack motion capture system to our production pipeline in order to build the best, most immersive gaming experience that only a PC game can deliver," says the entry on CIG's YouTube portal. Head past the break for a video message from Roberts and a sneak peek at the Optitrack tech. Source: Joystiq **I am a contributing member to this project.

Star Citizen crowdfunding tally tops $10 million

Roberts Space Industries has broken $10 million in its campaign to pay for massive space sim Star Citizen without interference from pesky traditional publishers At time of writing, the tally stood at $10,049,823. What makes it all so astounding is that this whopping total was delivered by just 184,004 backers, for an average of about $54 paid each – just under the price of a triple-A console release at retail in the US. That’s a heck of a pre-order record for a PC game outside of major franchises like Diablo. The basic package, by the way, is $30, so if everyone who backed the campaign had opted for that, the total raised would be $5,520,120. That means $4,529,703 has been pledged to gain access to optional extras, goodies and subscriptions. Incredibly, some of the pledges have been worth more than $15,000. Roberts Space Industries completely ran out of pledge goals at $6 million and is presumably using any extra to pay the bills while it works furiously to deliver on its ambitions. Space Citizen is due in late 2014 on PC. Thanks, PCGamesN . ...

Star Citizen raises over $10m

Chris Roberts’ return to games has resulted in the highest crowdfunded game ever. Star Citizen has surpassed $10m from a combination of Kickstarter and pledges made through the website directly . And it’s not even close to stopping yet, either. Roberts sought funding back in October 2012, asking for a measly $2m. It didn’t take long for news of the Kickstarter to spread like wildfire, finishing thirty days later at a whopping $6m. However even with the Kickstarter over, fans could still pledge through the official website. Slowly but surely more money trickled into the bank account, until it hit $10m. What does this mean for Star Citizen? Continue reading ...

Star Citizen devs pay tribute to Oculus co-founder Reisse

Filed under: Sci-Fi , Culture , MMO Industry , New Titles , News Items , Sandbox , Star Citizen , Buy-to-Play The Star Citizen team has posted a tribute to Oculus Rift co-founder Andrew Reisse, who died last Thursday after being struck by a car that was fleeing a crime scene. Here at Cloud Imperium Games , the moment we saw the Oculus Rift, there was no question that we had to support it. Here was technology that would allow the player to inhabit the game world like nothing before. Even better, it was another crowdfunding success story: like space sims, big publishers had decided VR was unprofitable, and here were gamers proving them wrong. We are extremely gratified by the support Oculus has provided our project since our launch. Like us, Andrew and his team dreamed of letting gamers experience their worlds like never before. Now the device he made possible is going to let gamers explore distant Star systems with a level of realism no one ever believed possible. We hope that's a fitting tribute. The Oculus team has also posted a memorial and Reisse retrospective. Star Citizen devs pay tribute to Oculus co-founder Reisse originally appeared on Massively on Mon, 03 Jun 2013 20:30:00 EST.

Pledgers will get a chance to walk through their hangars and ogle their pledge ships, as well as climb inside them and invite their friends over for a spaceship-themed soiree. The hangar module is "about 50 percent fleshed out right now," according to the spiffy Cloud Imperium video tour that you can watch after the cut.
