My favorite:Well then, for those of you who want to deny them more traffic, I'm posting the whole thing here for your amusement (the slides are just random SC images, you're missing nothing):
Cloud Imperium Games’ founder, Christopher Roberts has repeatedly made it clear that Star Citizen would hold on to no compromises when it comes to the game’s experience. But considering the ambitious scale of the game and what the creators mean to deliver, the game’s requirements are may be beyond the realm of even mid-range PC games.
In the scenario where Star Citizen manages to relent and actually mean to accommodate the not so hard-core gamers and above average PC users, here are a few reasons as to why Star Citizen should be on the new gen consoles.
15. Console market is huge - The new gen consoles have a huge fan base as of now and that has to work in favour of a game that is on to tackle such an immense audience.
14. Cross platforming - While Chris voices his fears over having to make separate communities if there’s a console launch, it need not be that way. Star Citizen won’t be like other shooters out in the market where having a keyboard and mouse gives you an automatic advantage over other means of input.
Cross platforming is very much possible and it would not affect the game’s experience across different platforms.
13. Supportive Console Devs - Apparently Sony has taken the first step forward by giving Chris’ team a PS4 dev kit to fiddle with. This shows an obvious interest of the company in the game.
Although MS hasn’t followed suit, there’s still time enough for them to work up some strategy to try and have the game on their console too.
12. Skittish Console Fans - The sheer scale of Chris’ project has been snowballing followers from all across the world and many of them are console users.
The way the game’s concept and progress has been shown has made the best of console fans wish fervently that the game come on the new gen consoles if not anything. What Star Citizen will get if it happens is a solid and faithful fanbase.
11. Largest Crowdfunding - Star Citizen is easily the largest ever crowd funded project and the amount of money that the project has accumulated has not only enabled them to make it to their stretch goals, but go way beyond that, so much so that the developers were not sure what they would do with all that money.
With that much money at their disposal, Star Citizen is perfectly able to be on the new gen consoles without even bottlenecking the PC version of the game, if it ever would be the case.
10. Consoles Have Better Spec-to-Performance Factor - Star Citizen is essentially a PC game. That would obviously include even the relatively average PCs that fall in the mid-range category and the current-gen consoles offer better performance over a PC of the same configuration.
9. Many Star Citizen Investors Are Console Users - A lot of people, who, through Kickstarter had made Star Citizen the largest crowd-funded project, were actually console users.
With such overwhelming support, it would not be very fair to let out the console users on the game.
8. Testing The Potential - If anything, Star Citizen on the new gen consoles can be very well way of testing what the consoles are actually capable of handling.
This may even prompt the console developers to make their consoles not so static as they are today for consistently long periods of time.
7. Utilizing Kinect - Some may argue that the key bindings for Star Citizen may not be provided for by the console gamepads, but then again, we have the Kinect on the Xbox One that is more than capable of making a game like Star Citizen all the more immersive.
6. Utilizing the PS4 Camera - The PS4’s camera hasn’t been as extensively used as has been the case with Xbox’s Kinect. That is not to say that the PS4 camera is any less capable.
Star Citizen’s console launch may very well provide the platform for Sony to take PS4 camera’s games involvement more seriously.
5. Consoles Need A Space Exploration Game Too - There haven’t been many space exploration games in quite a while. While we were widening our eyes over what a nice presentation Mass Effect offered of our galaxy, it comes nowhere near what Star Citizen presents to us.
It would be a particularly sour lemon to bite into for console users if they don’t get Star Citizen on the consoles.
4. Project Morpheus - Star Citizen would be incorporating virtual reality compatibility. That means Oculus Rift is gonna steal the show.
But bear in mind that Sony’s Project Morpheus is no less a contender for the same and presents an almost equally brilliant opportunity for Star Citizen to let the players experience the best of the game in a VR setup.
3. More People, More Fun - Since Star Citizen will feature a persistent universe, having players in such a huge world could be a problem. Having the game on the consoles would mean that a much larger number of players would be in any particular area than otherwise, hence bolstering interactions and the game’s community and experience overall.
2. The DualShock 4 - The PS4 controller has a motion sensor that can substitute for a lot of key mashing in a game like Star Citizen, especially being helpful in vehicular navigation.
1. The Consoles Are Capable - The new gen consoles have tremendous capability as of now. But with the trending technology becoming obsolete in as much time as it takes you to take a leak trip to the bathroom, it is hard to say if the game would indeed make it to the platforms. If the game were to be released within a few months from now, the chances of the consoles handling the game would have been much better, as would have been of most above average PC owners. The fact that the game is to be released not until at least a year makes the prospects of a console launch bleak, if not entirely extinguished.
There are a lot of hiccups in the way of the game going to any other platform than the PC, and that’s justified in the fact that Roberts is trying to build a game that will set a new touchstone in many ways for the games of the generation and many people are mad about it. But when you’re building something as top notch as what Roberts has had us believe, being unapologetic for some things doesn’t qualify you to deserve any flak, but reverence if anything.
