Any Cry Engine game (Like Ryse, Crysis etc') that has a plethora of graphics mods is a sight to behold visually.

This is Crysis 1 with a heap of mods, released almost 10 years ago:


Battlefront has fantastic art/assets which allows it to pull ahead of most other titles, because regardless of how many graphics effects you throw at a game... If you still have a blurry textures and simply geometry... It ain't going to look pretty.
It's also one of the reasons why Uncharted 4 looks so pleasing.

Star citizen should not have went after great graphics and instead focused on its scope. Unless they can gain another 50mil or so from crowdfunding or a company funds them the game will never be completed. No mans sky had the right idea visually.

A game like this, graphics lends itself to scope, damaging a ship for instance, having electricity arcing across it's bow with a dizzying array of lighting effects, particles rushing out, allows you to have a visual represenation of the damage, allowing you to target repair efforts or for an enemy to target your damaged  points.

There are cloud/smoke/particle effects like Nebula's that you can hide out in, use the sun to obscure your presence.

As for money... They are still taking in cash, anywhere between 1-5 million bucks a month, that can increase depending if they throw out trailers or put something new up for sale.

At $115 million though currently, it is one of the largest development budgets of all time, higher than even Grand Theft Auto 4 and that released on 3 platforms and will likely end up beating Grand Theft Auto 5 (23 million to go) which was released on 5 platforms... And overhauled from it's original release.

It also doesn't need to spend a cent on advertising as it *is* the advertising, it has raised most of it's funds thanks to word of mouth and PC gamers desires for a real PC exclusive.
Still. Console gamers should be happy for Star Citizens success, hopefully it's success means a reinvigoration in the genre leading to more games on all platforms.
