ROTFLMAO!! I TOTALLY CALLED IT. The SQ42 teaser is up on IGN. One look, and ANY Star Citizen fan can tell it's all FAKE! ign.com/articles/2017/…
They added dialog in post-process, animated the fps view etc. OMG! This is hilarious. I don't even. wow.
YT version. wow. $174M

LOL!!
The last time we saw Squadron 42, was in yet another horrid looking sequence back in Oct 2015.
OK, let's get serious. I have decided to switch sides. Effective immediately, I am switching over to the Star Citizen side because clearly they are saving PC gaming, just like Chris promised
LOL!! I remember when IGN was shilling this. Back in 2012.

Oh, the new site is also live. God this is just so painful. Notice how it's a pledge now? Oh, and separate product.

All kidding aside, after seeing this teaser, I'm switching sides, and totally buying more ships. It's the only sensible thing to do.
I can't wait to see what they show during the live stream. Hopefully some game play.
Mark Hamill is such a great actor.
Looks like they're still raising money to give to Crytek. Latest email just went out. They're going to start selling...uhm, TANKS!!
"Welcome once again to your exclusive news source from the Chairman’s Club.

This month, you’ll get advanced access to pledge for the new Tumbril Nova and the chance to grab a Ground Vehicle pack, only available to Concierge members."
Oh, and even though you backed the game, the teaser for the tank is only open to the top echelon backers. No peasants allowed. Pledge moah!

Meanwhile, back at the 3.0 testing farm

They're not even hiding the desperation anymore.

LMAO!! Space tank sales!

Less than 48hrs ago, I was on a live stream on @GameTalkLive saying that as long as as few whales keep throwing money away, CIG would keep doing this crap. Next thing you know? TANKS!!

Go ahead, show me ONE place in the 2012 Kickstarter pitch or the website stretch goals that ended in 2014, where ground vehicles, let alone tanks, EVER appeared. I'll wait.

And these tanks are just JPEGs. Not in the game. Not playable. Nothing. Just a JPEG. Of a tank. For $95.

The guys at Skadden are all like...
OK, this new Squadron 42 site is pretty interesting. Now it shows that it includes Arena Commander and Star Marine. Both of which are modules in Star Citizen. i.imgur.com/QaTnkGq.png
In Feb this year, I had written a blog that SQ42 is probably going to end up being just another game mode within the game's launcher, much like Arena Commander, Star Marine, Persistent Universe etc. I wonder dereksmart.com/forums/reply/5…
It is entirely possible that with this Crytek lawsuit claiming that SQ42 is a separate game, that CIG/RSI is probably going to use the "it's a game mode" defense. Which would be hilarious, given the public statements about SQ42 being split into a separate game
