An editor from an English gaming site had the opportunity to play an early version of Alpha 3.0 of the space MMO Star Citizen. He brings a trailer for 3.0 and some impressions.
The editor from PC Gamer reports how he flew from a space station into space, making a quantum jump to the moon Daymar, landing there, and getting out of the ship. All of this worked seamlessly and without loading times.
The editor states that he felt like an astronaut flying to the moon, landing without a crash, and finally stepping out to explore the alien world.
Speed adjustments with the mouse wheel
He had a special fun with a small but fine system: With the mouse wheel, you can continuously change the speed at which the character moves.
This is supposed to work simply and intuitively. You can switch at any time from a slow walk to a run and back again. This is meant to make running around more realistic, as in “real” life you can also move seamlessly at different speeds.
Racing with the Nox bike and multiplayer battles
The editor experienced even more. For example, he raced around with the Nox bike and engaged in a battle with other players on the moon. He also visited an old mining colony on an asteroid. Additionally, he learned about the plans Cloud Imperium has for the time after the release of Alpha 3.0. However, he wants to write about that in the magazine.
To set the mood for Alpha 3.0, a trailer of the game was also released, showing exciting scenes.
