PAX East in Boston is a wrap and with it came some enthusiastic reviews of Star Citizen’s coming out party for the dogfighting module (DFM). The weekend started early with a special reveal of the DFM to Star Citizen backers and members of the press at the Royale Club in downtown Boston on the eve of PAX East. They weren’t disappointed.

“Star Citizen gets its first actual gameplay footage, and it looks absolutely glorious,” wrote Giuseppe Nelva from DualShockers. Kirk Hamilton with Kotaku had similar praise. “14 minutes of the super-slick Star Citizen in action,” he exclaimed. “My does it look nice.” And GameSpot editors were also jumping on the bandwagon. “PC space sim Star Citizen’s dogfighting mode looks epic even in pre-alpha,” wrote news editor Eddie Makuch. William Usher, who writes for Cinema Blend, called the demo, “Awesome. I love the fact that there is a visual representation for every single aspect of interactivity in the game. I absolutely love all of it. This is the space simulator to which every subsequent game in the genre will be measured.”

Star Citizen was also on display during the three days of PAX East at the Logitech booth. Plenty of media outlets visited, tried out the game and posted even more coverage from the show. Here are more highlights from the fan event and the Logitech booth demos.

Gameranx – “Star Citizen Will have spying, hacking, even space mutiny! You don’t need to be a Slab Bulkhead to understand how amazing – and possibly game breaking – this is.”

Venture Beat – “Check out what the space-sim Star Citizen looks like in action. It looks impressive.”

Gaming Bolt – “If you had any doubts about the crowd-funded space sim, this should silence you fairly quickly.”

Segment Next – “Everything looks pretty much close to reality from each small bit of the ship to the asteroids. I think the video above might just make you want to get into the Star Citizen Dogfighting Module right away.”

There were also several video and written interviews with Chris Roberts and Erin Roberts at the show. You can have a look at those below: MMORPG

Star Citizen came out of the show with not only some positive press, but also some awards and honors, to boot. MMORPG listed Star Citizen as its Most Anticipated Game from PAX East. “ The Dogfighting Module…looks incredible, has amazing depth, and will certainly feel like a complete game in and of itself when it launches in a few short weeks.”

And Game Informer listed Star Citizen as one of the five games to watch coming out of PAX East. “ A fairly extensive demo video displays some of the huge potential of this game that is admittedly several star systems away from release.”

Finally, what’s a press update without yet another mention of a major milestone. In the past week, Star Citizen surged past $42 million in crowd funding. And there was the regular coverage of the news by the press which included updates from these outlets among many others (Towel anyone?): Polygon – “Star Citizen reaches $42 million, adds a towel”

GameSpot – “PC space sim Star Citizen hits a mind-blowing $42 million”

Games.on.net – “Star Citizen hits $42 million goal, everybody to get their own towel”
Die PAX East in Boston ist ein Abschluss und mit ihr kamen einige begeisterte Kritiken über die Coming-out-Party von Star Citizen für das Dogfighting Module (DFM). Das Wochenende begann früh mit einer besonderen Enthüllung des DFM an Star Citizen Unterstützer und Pressevertreter im Royale Club in der Innenstadt von Boston am Vorabend der PAX East. Sie waren nicht enttäuscht.

"Star Citizen bekommt sein erstes echtes Gameplay-Footage, und es sieht absolut fantastisch aus", schrieb Giuseppe Nelva von DualShockers. Kirk Hamilton mit Kotaku hatte ein ähnliches Lob. "14 Minuten des superglatten Star Citizen in Aktion", rief er aus. "Meiner Meinung nach sieht es gut aus." Und auch die GameSpot-Redakteure sprangen auf den Zug auf. "PC Space Sim Star Citizen's Dogfighting Modus sieht selbst im Pre-Alpha-Modus episch aus", schrieb der Nachrichtenredakteur Eddie Makuch. William Usher, der für Cinema Blend schreibt, nannte die Demo "Awesome". Ich liebe die Tatsache, dass es für jeden einzelnen Aspekt der Interaktivität im Spiel eine visuelle Darstellung gibt. Ich liebe das alles sehr. Das ist der Weltraumsimulator, an dem jedes nachfolgende Spiel des Genres gemessen wird."

Star Citizen war auch während der drei Tage der PAX East am Logitech-Stand zu sehen. Viele Medienvertreter besuchten das Spiel, probierten es aus und veröffentlichten noch mehr Berichte über die Show. Hier sind weitere Highlights vom Fan-Event und den Logitech-Stand-Demos.

Gameranx - "Star Citizen wird Spionage, Hacking und sogar Weltraummeuterei haben! Man muss kein Slab Bulkhead sein, um zu verstehen, wie erstaunlich - und möglicherweise auch spielerisch - das ist." Venture Beat - "Schauen Sie sich an, wie der Space-Sim Star Citizen in Aktion aussieht. Es sieht beeindruckend aus." Gaming Bolt - "Wenn Sie irgendwelche Zweifel an der von der Menge finanzierten Raumsimulation hatten, sollte Sie das ziemlich schnell zum Schweigen bringen." Segment Next - "Alles sieht ziemlich realitätsnah aus, von jedem kleinen Teil des Schiffes bis zu den Asteroiden. Ich denke, das Video oben könnte dich dazu bringen, sofort in das Star Citizen Dogfighting Module einzusteigen." Es gab auch mehrere Video- und schriftliche Interviews mit Chris Roberts und Erin Roberts bei der Show. Du kannst dir diese unten ansehen:

Star Citizen kam mit nicht nur einer positiven Presse, sondern auch mit einigen Auszeichnungen und Ehrungen aus der Show. Im MMORPG wurde Star Citizen als das am meisten erwartete Spiel aus PAX East aufgeführt. " Das Dogfighting Module....sieht unglaublich aus, hat eine erstaunliche Tiefe und wird sich sicherlich wie ein komplettes Spiel an sich anfühlen, wenn es in ein paar Wochen startet."

Und der Game Informer listete Star Citizen als eines der fünf Spiele auf, die man aus dem PAX East kommen sehen kann. " Ein ziemlich umfangreiches Demo-Video zeigt einige der großen Potenziale dieses Spiels, das zugegebenermaßen mehrere Sternensysteme von der Veröffentlichung entfernt ist."

Schließlich, was ist ein Presse-Update, ohne noch einmal einen wichtigen Meilenstein zu erwähnen. In der vergangenen Woche stieg Star Citizen über 42 Millionen Dollar in der Massenfinanzierung hinaus. Und es gab die regelmäßige Berichterstattung der Presse über die Nachrichten, die unter anderem Updates aus diesen Filialen enthielt (Handtuch jemand?):


Polygon - "Star Citizen erreicht 42 Millionen Dollar, fügt ein Handtuch hinzu" GameSpot - "PC Space Sim Star Citizen trifft 42 Millionen Dollar" Games.on.net - "Star Citizen trifft 42 Millionen Dollar Ziel, jeder bekommt sein eigenes Handtuch".
