Exactly, immerse yourself in the alternate reality. (Wondering when they'll come up with the Lula 3D module)

"Progress"?? PROGRESS?!?!
The only "progress" CIG showed at CitizenCon was the further development of their impressive "tech demo skills" and the talent of their art asset creators, working round the clock to produce this rather than work on the *game* itself.
What about the actual "gameplay"? I mean, if any of this stuff is, according to the fans of CIG "already in the game", then surely it wouldn't be beyond Roberts and co to have some "playable" content to go along with the razzmatazz, you know, to ground the game as being something that actually *exists* and isn't some elaborate marketing mega ploy to syphon cash directly out of the pockets of naive gamers with very little end product to show in return.
Exactly felt like this: a soulless AAA-grade patchwork of stereotypes.
It would be interesting to know the Altitude of that Station.
Are Planets 1/10 size (but keeping the mass) or is it just system sizes that are compressed. I forget.
Either way that station seems far too close for being in orbit, stationary or otherwise.
Do we know the size of those stations?
Some smart cookie might be able to work out the distance to the station if we knew the size, vs its apparent size in the sky.

1 Lovely art assets
2 No on game footage
3 No release dates
May we live in interesting times!
Oh and I thought CR swearing and referring to the Avocados was a bit incongruous. Maybe I am an old square who doesn't get the vibe?

Don't know when exactly I started heavily doubting Star Citizen. But it happened relatively quickly after an initial spending spree in 2014, somewhere throughout 2015 that I started to see the inconsistencies. 20GB patch after 20GB brought no worthwhile feature update, Star Marine was a no show and all the while they kept selling increasingly ludicrous concepts at increasingly ludicrous prices. Like the cocktail mixing mini game and passenger health sim which really symbolize the absurdity of Star Citizen for me. They were selling complete new games, while something as basic as a good or even satisfactory flight model never materializes.
Long story short, if formerly faithful backers start to see the cracks on the wall in greater numbers now, I doubt the ones having seen them will be able to un-see them. Unless they trot out solid signs of notable progress rather then scripted demos, which don't even represent in game missions, they're in for trouble.
BTW dsmart, anything new you'd like to release? You've probably rarely had an audience more likely to listen to you than now in your case against Star Citizen.

Wow.. I didn't expect this even from CIG.
All that huff and puff about showing SQ42 at CitCon and then not showing anything
Sure that planet tech looks cool but also kind of boring when you think how the game is.
Star Citizen lacks any sort of unique character for me.
It's been taking ideas from numerous games/movies while managing to have a very generic boring universe.
I'm sad we managed to see Dune sandworms before we got to see birds :[

And this.
Yes the transitions between biomes were well done as well, and the Sulphur planet had a beautiful sunset
Not sure about the Sand Worm and Sand people complete with weird language

I was actually wondering about that, but I can't see it on the vid (unzoomed) to make a guess at the angular size...
Actual size of the station should be doable from the ring's angular velocity, assuming a 1g environment.
Edit - Actually, scrub that - I just went back and checked, and a) the rings aren't rotating at all, and b) it's not orbiting (movement against the background stars should be apparent). It's a still image (Skybox, maybe?).

Why is there an Arrakis Sandworm in their demo?
Isn't that copyright infringement?

Oh, indeed. There are a lot of open questions about how all these pretty graphics will end up actually being a game and how it will actually play. They do talk a lot about gameplay, but their demos don't really show anything like that, they are just effectively pretty films.
But progress, sure. Progressing the prettiness
Some nice stuff they showed off in terms of graphics and sound.Insignificant_The_Galaxy_Cat

You're talking about the company that proudly had Ryan Archer amongst their art team, drawing totally "original" concept art for the game... Plus Chris Roberts is one of the worst offenders in shoe-horning other people's ideas into his own stuff for years.
So don't be shocked to see them "Archer" in some other sci-fi movie/book signature content/characters/monsters to try and sell their bland as all Heck "game" to people.
Eh... "Orpheus Horizon" in a tombstone?. Really?.
I had to read the title of the video a few times to be sure I wasn't mistook this from a Far Cry 2 tech demo. Without zebras.

I have to admit that's a pretty cool looking sand worm...

also what happened to space game and why they are making Destiny 2 now...?

Basically it was all a damp squib? (or was it worse than that?)
So no SC Alpha 3.0 release date, no SQ42 demo/footage/release date and it is totally fine because they showed another demo - which is quite well known most likely never land into actual game?
What's the reference?
My assumption: Their 2011 game looks worse than last year and doesn't stand chance against the production values of Call of Duty in Space. So they hide Chris Roberts Opus Magnum from the public and go with with more Crysis mods instead.
