Latest video of stars is pure citizen space sim. Assembled for a recent presentation of developments in AMD graphics technology, the movie more than show all the Polish that is applied to the ambitious project. The video also functions as a fine vehicle for the history of the highly anticipated game.
We have seen some of the footage before, but the new video starts to show the world-building that's going on behind the scenes at the Kickstarter project extremely well-supported by Imperium games developer Cloud. There are shots of various classes of vessels, including the Aurora and 300i we knew for awhile now. But we also have a look at Vanduul sickle heavily armed raider, apparently a popular destination of human pilots of Star City.
But for me, it's the sense of perspective in the video that makes it work like a reel "sizzle" to the game. When sims well function space, a player gets to feel as if he or she inhabits the role of a starship pilot. Seeing as national Star sewing together its various approaches to the idea of a sim of space — a coat hanger, a profile of a door or a space ambush Vanduul in an asteroid field — adds some weight to any narrative that will eventually emerge from the universe of the game when its pilots leave the cockpit.
