Star Citizen is going to be absolutely immense whenever it gets a full release. It's an insane usage of the Cry Engine, and the sheer scope of even it's Alpha stage is enormous.
I've got an RTX 2080 and I suspect even that would scream at max settings.

Jealous mate, I've got a 1060 haha Haha, it's a beast of a card. I run 1440p so can crank everything, tried RTX on Battlefield last night and was rather stable, but might try the AI upscaling and see what the image quality is like and performance.
1060 isn't a bad card at all though. Particular models can be OC'd enough to reach 1070 levels of performance which is pretty decent for 1440p. If you get the itch, try and pick up something like the 3070 coming out this year, performance increase will be mad.

That looks laggy as fuck? Could be because of Rob streaming the game and also the fact the engine is still nowhere near at 100% playability. Depends what processor Rob's got really, could be getting hammered by the game and whatever recording software he uses. Stardock really need to sort out the performance before ever even considering making a final release.

I was a kickstarter on this, but have come to realise that it's nothing but a massive pile of vapourware and Chris Roberts is a fucking liar and charlatan. A finished product, as was originally advertised, will never be released. I mean, they promised 100 solar systems with a myriad planets and moons, and what is there to dat? A couple of systems with a couple of planets/moons. It'll just stay as is it now, a massive tech-demo riddled with feature creep.

That fear is why I didn't get involved at any point Boothen. It's been the game I've been looking forward to most for years.
Procedural generation could create the volume, as we've seen with some others. Elite Dangerous personally being my favoured example of seeing it done. However, they'd need to make a massive innovation in the process to get it done to the standard they're saying the game will have upon release.
It wouldn't surprise me that once the revenue slows it will actually be "released" without a lot of the features which will be slated to be added, because release the game and increase the player-base an in-game store could easily bring in a lot more revenue. I try not to get too cynical, hopefully the game does come out some day and is decent.

Yes I hear you Boothen - I live in the US, one of my good friends got in this show early as a kickstarter. He has close to $2,000.00 invested in ships and "insurance" on the ships. He's even had other people buy these ships from him, yet he goes out and gets more. I am shocked at the number of people who are still willing to shell out massive sums of real money on this. This friend did pique my interest in it briefly, seems like it was about 1 1/2 years ago. I liked the sound of being able to open up a whorehouse/weapons sales/casino on some planet and pay my friends to run Security for me but none of that has even come close to fruition. After about 2 nights of discussing it with him I gave it a pass.
The game has great promise but smells "scammy." When you actually look at the claims they are making with this game - great sentiment, but too ambitious on any realistic time-frame. I think you're right Santy - once really released, it will have like 1/4 of the features and scope. And to reach a mass audience, people have to be able to run it on a non-nuclear powered computer. So I loved the sound of it, but I'm just too much of a skeptic.(And cheapskate)

Apart from pay to win my biggest gripe with the gaming industry at the moment is the early release of games that subsequent never get updated or finished to the standard the developer promised. There’s so many examples of this and they all just scream cash grab to me.
I think an exception to this has been No Man’s Sky which by all accounts was dire on release but subsequently received major updates over the next couple of years which effectively completely changed the game.

Is No Mans Sky worth a purchase now then? Never bothered after the reviews on initial release, but would probably buy now if it's worth it.

I’ve not played it myself so probably not the best example to give, but over the last couple of years I know there has been major updates that completely changed the game. The reviews now are very complimentary, even from those who slammed it originally. It’s a shame that they lost a huge amount of their player base by releasing it under cooked. On the subject of reviews, what are people’s favourite reviewers or trusted sites? I much prefer an independent reviewer than a big site whose opinion is likely to have been bought.

I use trusted reviews more than any as they seem to be pretty fair. IGN are dog shit.

Always good for a laugh, generally impartial and seems to share similar views as me on what makes a good game. I agree, IGN are absolutely awful!
