Unfortunately with these interviews they often forget to ask "WHY", "BE MORE SPECIFIC" etc etc etc.
Are the comments based on the game for PC specs in late 2015 - 2016?
If so we're looking at a very different CPU/GPU / Memory target ie. Intel's 8 core, GPU's with 50%/80% more power (Nvidia Maxwell 800 series etc) and 16gb of ram was mentioned very early on.
I do agree that in theory it could be run on a console - lower textures, lower various environmental effects etc etc and just like a game that can be played on a PS4 it can also be played on a PS3 however he has mentioned the issues about the constant updates and lack of user accessibility (user world packs etc) but all this is now and it's far to early to predict how it will be in 2016+

Alexious- "Also, while it is true that the components in PS4 and XB1 are quite old by PC standards, they can be fully utilized unlike any component in the PC environment."

Even if a console's potential is fully utilized, there's not much separating the two anymore with way better API support and consoles now being x86 based. System requirements shouldn't be too bad for Console to PC games.

Considering the fact that Star Citizen gets bigger and bigger every single month. Every month they hit a new milestone with there funding.

Current consoles possibly could handle the game as a whole but absolutely couldn't handle the constant updates and constant size and scale the game constantly achieves on the regular basis.

"Price for performance is amazing."

Agreed yet that wasn't the statement...

Killzone shadowfall, infamous second son, driveclub, the order 1886 and uncharted 4 did.

I'd like to see what a "fully-developed for high-end PC" space game would look like.

They are also very pro pc and have some pc fanboy attitudes vs consols. They are trying to be a pc gamers dev

Then they will have a very small playerbase. The vast majority of PC gamers doesn't have high-end configurations.

I hope their customized CryEngine scales well.

Yeah it is actually still in early development but the game looks amazing and has a massive universe and trading and pirating THIS GAME IS LIKE A WHOLE WORLD INSIDE YOUR SCREEN :D

Yep, probably 2016 for full release.

You're dealing with peasant, they don't understand how things work so its best to leave them alone.

I am deeply embarassed for anyone that would refer to someone as a pesant, thats just sad, and hilarious.

Well, I'd wait for a final version of Star Citizen before saying that they have proven themselves.

Yeah the game is bound for success but I guess that it will need a REAL gaming PC in order for it to work properly will set its sales back a little.

The game is already a sucess because they have presold a shit ton and have profited way more than enough already to make the game successful. However i feel the game has so many people that funded it for more money than an average game that they have some HUGE expectations. There also has to be, by all stats that are out there, a large amount of people who pledged but dont have pcs powerful enough. Just look at their forums and theres a ton of mystery around it and some worried fans. But it does still have over a year before the full release so everyone still has time. Hey if I had a pc that was close i might start saving but im using my laptop right now and only really use it for rome 2 so no chance.

Yeah! If you want to play the game, you should be happy working two jobs in order to pay for an upgraded gaming rig. Nothing wrong with that idea... :)

At any rate, what does it matter to them if they're selling their product to a niche market of PC gamers with uber rigs. They've already all been paid. The game could sell one copy and they still earned a salary for as long as they develop this game thanks to Kickstarter. It doesn't matter in the end how much it sells.

Well, you can get an optimized game for your hardware on consoles and be assured that it will run.

On PC you could build an unbalanced configuration and get a subpar experience with the game you wanted to play.

In this economy?!?

So anyone critical of your site and it's blatant promotion of the game hasn't played the game? Yeah, okay, Abrael.

I didn't back it 14 years ago and I'm glad. That doesn't mean I haven't taken it for a spin.

Sure you have dude. Sure you have.

If you did, you'd know that there's a reason (actually many reasons) why people who actually play it regularly keep supporting it more every year, and more and more join.

And it isn't that they're all crazy and you somehow know better. 😏

Incidentally. "My site" reports on games. Star Citizen is a game. So we report about it fairly, like we do with other games. The fact that you don't like it is completely irrelevant (and also hilarious).

But hey, keep chewing on bile every time there's news about the game if that makes you happy. May as well get used to it. We're not gonna stop regardless of how much you cry, and the game certainly isn't going to disappear.

It's not ironic because I call this game a grift and I didn't buy CoD.

I spent 2025 buying and playing incredible indie games.
