Review of Star Citizen - A Promise
Star Citizen - A Promise, by Brigant70, is a video from September 2013 presenting his version of the dream that was at the time Star Citizen. Looking at this video from over 7 years ago it is apparent that the graphics have come further along than the rest of the game. Much of what was speculation at the time has been slowly becoming reality.
While both Star Citizen and Squadron 42 continue to seem far away the immersion and fidelity presented in "A Promise" has made a lot of progress. It can be seen that progress continues and the dream today remains alive with funding is still growing. $20 million now almost seems like a good month for Star Citizen so it is crazy to see how much the momentum has grown over the years.
Where is the Vision Today?
The following video by Fleet of the Faithful Knights (on YouTube) was recently found (while writing this article) and reflects well the promise that Brigant70 portrayed back in 2013.
While the hundreds of planets are still missing and Squadron 42 appears nowhere to be found, graphically the vision has somewhat materialized and progress, while painfully slow, continues.
