Hello!
The creator of my favourite video game franchise (Wing Commander - yes, even better than Dungeon Keeper, Syndicate or X-Com) Chris Roberts has returned to PC gaming after producing/directing some strange movies.
I haven't found a thread about it but I think it's the right demographic here and I know there's at least one Wing Commander fan.
Anyway, the new game is (atm) called StarCitizen and sounds like a really ambitious project. The game is scheduled for 2014 but there's a nice webpage already where you can give some input, read some fiction, see trailers, announcements and so on:
http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com
They're having a bit of problems with the site at the moment because it overloaded after the game was officially announced on wednesday. There's also a crowdfunding aspect, just be warned /though I do encourage to pledge if you want to set a sign that neither PC games nor Space Sim games are dead. Though I'll wait a bit with my pledge until they'
ve fixed the site).
Here's the video of the announcement (1 hour) with a lot of information:

So I hope some of you will be interested in this because I really want to see this game happening.
Edit: Oh, seems they fixed the page. Enjoy!
