And to be honest, guns of icarus looks like dogs*** compared to this game and what it will offer.
You can't take everything being said in this kind of video at face value though. I've compared this stuff to what's being shown in the gameplay videos and whatnot, and the stuff shown in those are much more in line with what you can already see in Freelancer. Just remember what happened with Spore, and the kind of hype surrounding TFU's physics after the tech demo that year.
Yeah, but Roberts himself appears to actually care about putting out an amazing game. I know that it's possible this could totally flop, I'm not familiar with Spore but I'll check out what happened with it. For instance, I saw an interview of his in which he said they were building a mo-cap studio of their own with industry grade equipment, just to produce weekly content for the game without having to spend ridiculous amounts of dough on contracting another mo-cap studio to do it for them. That means he's really investing in the game with the money he's received from the Kickstarter.And to be honest, I saw some of the gameplay of Freelancer and my first impressions are that it looks a lot like Battlefield II's flight and targeting system. Please enlighten me if I'm wrong about the similarities. I mean...can Freelancer do this? With the Cryengine 3 SDK there is just so much that can be done and modded into this game which appears to be very encouraged by Roberts. Of course it's possible we've all been duped and it will suck. I'm just looking at the evidence of wing commander and what I've seen from his actions so far.

My point is this is the natural hype that comes out around any game by a big name, like Spore was with Will Wright, and because expectations are so high even a good game will be a let down. The comparison to Freelancer was made because it's made by the same guy as Star Citizen, and there's nothing in that video that doesn't just sound like an updated version of Freelancer.
Keep in mind that every developer usually does care about their product/mod, they really do. But that does not mean it's going to be average or even above average in game quality or its gameplay loop.I'm not sure what's wrong with Battlefield 2s flight/targeting system. You basically just said that and didn't really elaborate. And oh boy! Graphics! That video really doesn't mean much tbh :/.You are honestly setting yourself up to be disappointed. Like, you've practically placed this game on an impenetrable pedestal with how highly you talk of a game that talks about base features, bad optimization, and "passion.". And obviously the guys into the game, he's either very excited about it even if it isn't special, or he's doing it for appearances.
