Seriously though, where is the screen tearing?!

Wait for the gifs to load.

Only way to show you is by taking gifs...

I'm pointing at them with the mouse cursor. keep in mind that they look more obvious in this video and in the distance. It just needs optimizing.

But that's flickering, not screen-tearing right? In any case, they only affect a very small part of the screen at a time

Yes. Its both flickering and screen tearing. They should fix this stuff before pushing textures to 4K. if your game looks like this in 1080p then don't push it to 4k. otherwise its going to be very hogging on resourcing.

You do realise those are either lights in the hanger (and spacecraft) or some flicking/shimmering artifacts. The "screen tearing" in the elevator and other parts isn't tearing, its aliasing artifacts from not having high enough AA applied to the game.

One of the benefits on playing on PC is that you don't have to deal with screen tearing - if you have the specs to run it optimally (high fps or v-sync).

^Yep, thought as much. Doesn't look like screen tearing to me

PRE-PRE-ALPHA

This game won't be launched for at least another year. They have so much more polishing to do.

But it's also fun. I had another play last night and it really is fun, even if I can't fly my ships yet

The ship buying is a bit dodgy, but also necessary to fund such an absurdly ambitious game. It is close to pay to win, but given the lack of winning in the game it's not so simple.

I'm just really excited and about to spend even more money on it!

Game looks awesome. People have been waiting a long time for a game like this.

It looks good, but I'm worried on whether it will be a microtransaction fest or not. There are some ships selling for $300+. You could buy a new graphics card with that kind of money :/


Technically, those ships come as bundles (Game+ Alpha Access+ In game money+ gifts).

 

I think the most expensive single ship that ever came out was the Xian Scout ship at 150$. It was  limited time offer because the developers didn't want too many alien ships in the game from the start.

 

The Single most expensive package is the 400$ constellation Phoenix package which includes:

 

  • Hartwell Music Sentinel 88G
  • Starting Hangar: Deluxe
  • Starting Money:10,000 UEC
  • 6 Month Insurance
  • Deluxe Silver Collector's Box
  • Spaceship-shaped USB Drive
  • CD of Game Soundtrack
  • Glossy Fold-up Star Map
  • 5 Spaceship Blueprints
  • 3 Inch Model of Spaceship
  • Hardback Making-of Star Citizen
  • Beta Access
  • Digital Star Citizen Manual
  • Squadron 42 Digital Download
  • Star Citizen Digital Download

So overall not a bad deal.

 

The thing about microtransactions is they do not let anyone purchase anything that they could not buy if they had just played the game itself. In fact, there is a limit to the amount of real world money you can convert to in game credits.

 

The problem with microtransactions is that without spending a lot of money, it's impossible to get some of the stuff. It may be different with SC, but seeing the pledge prices, I'm not too confident. I've ordered the Origin 300i package for now.



                                                                                                               You're Gonna Carry That Weight.

Whats your specs? how good does it run?

I backed this, but not for FPS or hanger nonsense. Can I manually land on planets from space, fly with realistic physics, explore and mine uncharted systems. I backed Elite as well, seems I might get more out of that one.
Maybe I should pay some attention at all the spam emails RSI keeps sending me...

Those spam emails never end when you kickstart something, you miss out on stuff though, like how I missed a lot of things during Wasteland's developement.
