What does a Kickstarter game like Star Citizen do when its developers are showered with mountains of money? Clearly cinematic promotion videos!

In the latest trailer for Star Citizen, almost like a documentary, we experience the perspectives of various prospectors looking for spaceship wrecks on the planets. Each of them has their own perspective and attitude to the history of the wrecks.

Star Citizen - Record crowdfunding for a new universe

For them, spaceship wrecks are not just mountains of metal. Each once had an occupation, people who lived and worked on it. People who her Ship as your Looking at home. Every crashed ship embodies not only a bonus, but also a tragedy, destroyed lives, families and livelihoods.

The video brings this across very well with professional speakers and sequences in film quality and clearly makes you want more. But that shouldn't come as a surprise, the cast for Squadron 42, the solo game offshoot of Star Citizen, consists of well-known names like Gary Oldman or Luke Skywalk ... uh Mark Hamill.

Star Citizen is probably the largest and most expensive crowdfunding project in the games industry. Initiated by Wing Commander inventor Chris Roberts, more than 150 million US dollars were made available by the supporters. While other Kickstarter projects can count themselves lucky with 1 million dollars and then were looking for investors from the industry, Star Citizen can draw on the full. A solo game Squadron 42 has already been decoupled from the massive multiplayer online space / trade simulation. In Squadron 42 we experience the solo campaign, while in the main game a complete permanent universe is ready to be explored. Together with thousands of other players you trade or fight your way through the galaxy and follow your own goals. Whether you want to be a wholesale mogul or a pirate, all options are open.

Star Citizen is slated for PC release in 2017.
