Anyone wondering what Squadron 42 will be like? Here's my guess:

Punctuated by iterations of this:

I suspect that what we have as far as 2.0 is concern is largely what we'll get with respect to the feel of flight, so folks bitching that flying feels like a clunky FPS should brace themselves.
Why are there Turok levels of fog inside that ship? If the flight deck were any longer, you wouldn't be able to see from end to end.

Not only that but those characters look like absolute garbage and worse than anything I've seen on 360/PS3-generation consoles. Blah blah it's an alpha and I don't know game development but judging by that first video, it looks like some Doom 3 expansion.

I like the fact that his hair can't even render properly, and oh wow they couldn't even sync everyone's dialogue properly so everyone is constantly finishing sentences too quickly and thus talking over each other.

But according to one youtube commenter "I love the animation, they look so alive" I guess he works in a morgue.

Also smiling faces, smiling grinning faces all the time, even when they're talking.

Just watched some of this - it's far worse than the comments here seemed to indicate. Never mind the obvious truth that Chris's mouth wrote a check his rear end can't cash - this poo poo is some serious low-level, amateur bullshit effort. Like others mentioned, I've seen much better stuff from modding communities. It's douche-chill level bad.

And to avoid being a hypocrite, I am jealous of Chris Roberts.

Not for being a genius - he's an autist.
Not for making a great game - he's made complete poo poo.
Not for making a great movie - he's made complete poo poo.

I'm jealous that he found a legal way to steal 100 million dollars in full view of over 1 million people, and they thanked him for it.

There's some sort of ironic thing going on since croberts last space thing premiered with the episode 1 trailer. People went to see the trailer, then peaced out.

This time, people are seeing the ED trailer, saying "cool, i can be like han solo or something!" Then getting to see a good film.

That, if anything, must be what would be making croberts fume.
