Today was indeed a glorious day for Space Sim fans, particularly for fans of the Wing Commmander, Privateer and Freelancer series (hey that's me, i am a fan!). Chris Roberts, creator of the Wing Commander series, had announced on his new website www.robertsspaceindustries.com that he will be creating a new Space Sim PC game called "Star Citizen".
Here are some interesting things about the game so far:
- Chris Roberts is asking for public funding. You can go to the website to "pledge" (donate).
- The game's revenue model will be like Guild Wars 2, where you only pay the initial cost of the game, and there is no subscription fee!
- You can choose to be "a smuggler, pirate, merchant, bounty hunter, or enlist as a pilot, protecting the borders from outside threats"
- The game may be completed in Nov 2014 (I saw this as the Delivery Estimate when I went to "pledge" for this game).
So if you are a true Space Sim fan, head on down to RSI and make you pledge!
And here's a concept art of two of the fighters (Wingnut and Lancer) in Star Citizen:
And here's the cinematic trailer for Star Citizen:
And here's my Golden Ticket for this crowd funding launch!
Enjoy! You can drool now...
