Ode to a scam: Star Citizen

Somebody had to. This game is huge. Bigger than GTAVI, really. Even (and especially) if it never sees the light of day, and two thirds of a billion dollars have just been burned with nothing to show for it. Maybe surprisingly, after this year's Citizencon, it looks like it might actually release this century. It might still suck, of course, but there might be something to judge, at least. Most people have probably seen it, but lets start with the two self-indulgent 30 minute trailers they've released this October. Because yes, Kojima isn't the only auteur on the planet who can release stupid long trailers:



Now this is kinda cheating, because it's for the single player campaign. That said, the shared engine got its own ridiculous trailer:



Shockingly, almost everything in that trailer is already in the playable alpha. It's just janky as fuck - but it's there. It's actually a pretty good time, if it doesn't crash. Which it probably will. At least until the next alpha release, which should introduce graceful crash recovery, unironically one of the biggest improvements to Star Citizen in four or five years.

Regardless of what you think of the project, CIG's cinematics team always bolts together dope trailers for every quarterly patch, and I did do summaries on the other Bore once a year or so, but this Bore only allows three videos per post even in spoilers, so here's 3.22:
