Squadron 42 is the single player campaign of Star Citizen, that is supposed to launch as a separate game. It’s basically a small portion of Star Citizen, but with a story and ending. I’m still not confident; waited too long for that.

  • I watched the whole video trying to keep an open mind, but what they showed off just looks so generic. Quick time events, very basic looking fps mechanics, flight looks like War Thunder arcade battles. At least the gfx and animations looked pretty cool, although imo this is the least important factor of a good video game. Will probably be a skip for me, if it ever releases that is.

    • Honestly even if SQ42 ends up being a great game, it can never live up to the anticipation they’ve built around it at this point. People are expecting something so completely revolutionary that it will be unlike any other game they have played, but the reality is that it won’t be that. Which isn’t to say it can’t be a good or even amazing game, it just won’t be anything different or revolutionary gameplay wise.

      I’ve got very minimal interest/expectations for SQ42 and I’m far more interested in Star Citizen which is still a pipe dream (although pretty fun to play in it’s current state too, bugs willing) but has much more potential to offer something different than other games in the genera are doing.
