Squadron 42 & Roadmap Update

With the big push to release 4.0 and Squadron 42 reaching its Feature Complete milestone, our resources have had to shift around as new needs arise at an increased frequency than in the past. This created a significant challenge in maintaining the Progress Tracker. The team is working to push Squadron 42 toward the finish line while balancing this with ensuring Star Citizen receives new features, content, and updates. At this stage of development, especially with such a big focus on Squadron 42 polish, developers or even entire teams may need to shift focus quickly when necessary work presents itself. This dynamic approach is different from our usual internal flow and has required a bit more flexibility and nimble nature

This just an update about a Roadmap Update that's not ready yet, but soon.

Classic Star Citizen!

Jingsing659d ago

The actors who starred in this will probably never see their own work. Something to think about.

PrinceOfAnger659d ago (Edited 659d ago )

They already did see more than us because they worked very close with studio on the game and on every scene etc.. and they have seen the last Gameplay footage and other Trailers.
most actors don't even watch their own movies
others don't even play the games they were in
there are more than
20 actors who have admitted to not watching their own movies

Dakota Johnson. Joaquin Phoenix...Javier Bardem. ..Johnny Depp... Helena Bonham Carter.. Maggie Smith. .Megan Fox. Reese Witherspoon...

Roadmap to sucking more money out of you…..parasites

peppeaccardo659d ago

Cancer of video game business!!

Eonjay659d ago

That would be Microsoft. This is just an isolated scam.

PrinceOfAnger659d ago (Edited 659d ago )

So many angry people in the comments LoL! 🤣
acting like they paid anything for the game smh.

StarcrossedBits659d ago

You don't have to be scammed personally to recognize and be annoyed at a scammer. I've never been scammed by a Nigerian Prince but the people who run that scam still suck.

MrBaskerville659d ago (Edited 659d ago )

Didn't see the last big gameplay reveal of Squadron 42? Looks awesome and since it's feature complete a release late 2025 doesn't seem too unrealistic.

If this hadn't been revealed prematurely, people would have lost their minds.

@PrinceOfAnger
People are angry because this "game" was promised to be released 10 years ago at least (almost 12 if you're counting original Kickstarter promises), in 2014, it's 2024 right now and it's nowhere in sight. And this "roadmap" update just says «we don’t have a Release View update today». They can't even update their own progress tracker («This created a significant challenge in maintaining the Progress Tracker»), promising to do this at least from november 2023. And now they're thinking about starting anew and archiving the old progress tracker (post #7038930 by JakeAcappella-CIG).

I don't know how about you, but to me this screams mismanagement and misallocation of resources, deadlines aren't being met and no one takes any responsibility for it. I would gladly pay for the offline singleplayer game, yet it's a joke at this point, they keep saying "It's almost feature complete, we're polishing" for 7+ months at least.

For G-d's sake, see the reactions and read through the comments in the source link, people are getting annoyed and fed up. And they have paid money for this.

MrBaskerville658d ago

Tbf, it is also an absurdly ambitious project. Star Citizen in itself is absurd. But what they are doing with Squadron also seems to be a lot more than what you would get in a regular AAA game. You have fully realized space flight and fps combat in the same game.

Could potentially be super janky and bad in a myriad of ways, but I fail to see how the scope of what they have shown us isn't impressive. I used to be sceptical, but I also really want to play something like Squadron and I think what they have shown us looks pretty fantastic.

Sure....since they raised close to a billion they don't even need to make a profit.

blacktiger29d ago

Well You know GTA 6 is like 2 billion dollar. So I don tknow why you trippin

jznrpg29d ago

But it’s not funded by players for over 13 years. And it will release before Star Citizen

blacktiger29d ago

what difference does it make, it's being funded while you are pissed off, money is money. Why do you have emotion?

Pergele29d ago

Did you know you are so stupid? Like it's almost funny

Azurite29d ago

The money is allocated between two games, most of it goes to Squadron 42.

peppeaccardo29d ago

Feels like when at the mall people stop you to give you free products and once you accept they won't stop to follow you until you buy the rest ..... F-DAT !

Noskypeno29d ago

What, you don't want shoe cleaner that costs more than the shoe?

raWfodog29d ago

I do wish they'd release this for PS5 Pro at the very least. I've been craving a good realistic space exploration game since Frontier Developments stopped supporting ongoing updates for Elite Dangerous on consoles. I put a ton of hours into that game and then they just stopped console support when the Odyssey update came out. Pissed me off LOL. I guess I'll get back into No Man's Sky for the time being since there's a bunch of new stuff since I've last played.

andy8529d ago

I didn't even realise you had to pay. Who on earth is paying to play a game that is still in alpha over a decade on 😂

thorstein28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

"A decade?"

This started before No Man's Sky was announced.

2011. It's been a decade and a half.

Shameless plug for NMS: you can build all of Star Citizens' ships in NMS for free. The only difference is that one of these games has launched...a decade ago. And the new update allows you toto capture creatures and battle them in an arena.

Knightofelemia29d ago

It's still a giant money sucker fools and their money are soon parted.
