yes star citizen looks like they are in business,after watching all the videos they are essentially the same game aren't they,

i assume i bought a version of star citizen but i'm never too sure,dudb't really have that option with elite but gave them some money to support some brits anyway and elite is original,

i missed broken sword,i wish i ghad some cash when you put that one up as i would have boutgh a special one of those as i like broken sword,shame they close it,i'd still pay them money for an exclusive copy but i guess they hit their target so don't need anymore,i feel sorry for some of those games i see taht don't take off,it's like a catch 22,mo one bids,no one else bids,they really need the help of some people to get these projects off the ground or be established names from the past

Chris Roberts has made games in the genre before, you might recoginse some elements from his past games like Wing Commander, Freelancer etc in the pitch. 

I wouldn't really call Elite: Dangerous original I mean it's another Elite they already made 3 of them back in the day, and they are promising to be just like those but with multiplayer (which honestly sounds a bit like Star Citizen's multiplayer, and the synic in me kinda thinks they knocked off after they saw the pitch). They they did invent the genre tho so I guess there's that. 

As much as I like the procedural generation of Elite, the grand scope and ambition of Star Citezen is more apealing to me with the space opera story driven campaign, hand authoredcontent, and AAA production values are more apealing to me. That and Chris Roberts' passion and enthusiasm is infectious.

yes i remember when i used to see wing commander games and wish i could play it but PC's were well out of my reach back then it all seemed so glamorous,yeah i mean't elite was original as in back in the day,starcitizen certainly looks the better idea in progress,they are nearly at $3.5m they must be delighted to have that kind of start,amazing really
