MJ12 Detachment Agent
It has been crowdfunded by all the contributions that went toward Star Citizen
That’s not true. You don’t know how much went to the Roberts family and inventors (which have extremely beneficial put options as per published financial reporting). It’s a fact that Chris Robert lied about the scope and nature of external investment.
Heart of Darkness
You’re saying SQ42 will be like Heart of Darkness?
I find this difficult to believe. What makes you say that?
From my perspective, just a mere dark and foreboding presentation doesn’t mean anything. Wing Commander: The Movie was supposed to be serious, but it transforms more into an unintentional comedy for trash space sci-fi and b-movie nerds.
better than anticipated actually
In what way? Genuinely curious? What was the expectation and why was it overcome?
Some games beat out the vast majority of Hollywood. A small selection (with a focus on more indie titles, because that’s I play):
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream Citizen Sleeper I (and to a lesser extent II, albeit if II was released first it would beat I) Lone Survivor Cloudpunk Don’t Escape Consortium Age of Decadence Roadwarden
Didn’t know about that.
That being said if you look at any of the advertisement videos released by CIG; It’s all very vanilla. More so considering that their video advertisement budget is almost certainly very substantial even in a relative basis.
Ignoring the political context (which I actually agree with), Roberts has always had those pompous militaristic themes in a space sci-fi setting posture. It’s almost what makes Wing Commander the movie so good (it’s so bad that it’s fun sense).
I am actually a big fan of Chris Roberts’ Wing Commander movie. Freddie Prinze Jr., Matthew Lillard, Saffron Burrows :) ; trash sci-fi, the space bulldozer, weird cat aliens, hiding your spaceship in an asteroid while getting hit by WW2 era anti-submarine bombs, this is top class stuff if you are a connoisseur of sci-fi b-movies.
I still remember catching the movie on TV (I wonder why it was available on TV even in my country so close to the release), I tuned in during the scene in the early part of the movie where they were flying through some gravitational bla bla to get on the Tiger Claw. Fun times.
Unfortunately PR contractors report that just the intro is 5 hours of cutscenes. I don’t know if I will have the patience to watch 50 hours of cutscenes even in second monitor mode. 50 hours of scifi b-movie trash in video game cutscene form is a whole different proposition from 2 hours of laughs.
I honestly wouldn’t mind if investor types were duped into giving Chris Roberts money for a Wing Commander II movie. I would even go to the cinema to watch it.

Damn, it’s been almost 25 years (and going to be 30 years since HL1 soon).
I am wondering, how did I watch the video back in the day?
Brigador Killers wants to make you think, not tell you how to feel.
Cloud Imperium Games is getting “imminently closer to launch.”
In an industry that is facing wave after wave of layoffs, Greg Foertsch details how keeping the XCOM team together made for a better sequel.
Skate players were explicitly told map areas would not be “locked behind a paywall”
Work on the second game doesn’t “compete in any way” with the work being done on Valheim, says Robin Eyre.
So you’ve played it?
How can you trust PR contractor output? This is not even a Star Citizen thing, one does not take advertisement and press releases literally.
