Star Citizen's Squadron 42 Release Date Shifts Again

A report from a German gaming site has stated that the Squadron 42 release date is being shifted once again, delaying the single-player module.

yep,they'll probably officially announce that in October, but this was totally expected tbh. I don't have a problem with 2017 IF they show some really good progress at Citizencon. They are trying to make a very ambitious SP campaign Let's see how it works out.

Hey a another delay is fine cause its this game and not that other game. LOL the gaming community is full of nutters.

Games like Star Citizen and Crackdown are pushing the envelope - thus delays are to be expected... The last Guardian, on the other hand...

I don't know Poppins but there are games that are story/emotionally driven even though it may not push the technical envelope. If the story isn't right, it will just fall flat. The game probably is delayed because of the storyline differences between the many ppl who have been leading this project.

[poppinslops]

Maybe, maybe not - either way it's not as though a few plot points are the reason the game's been in development for 10 years... and even if that was the case, then what's Gran Turismo's excuse? Same guy's been making those games since the start and they're always getting delayed - meanwhile Forza releases annually and still manages to innovate on it's formula.

Those "few plot points" could kill or make the game. What's the point of terrible storyline and loopholes if the game's base is suppose to be a beautiful story. How many of this year's most anticipated movies disappointed people because of the weak plot? That's how it works. CG and tech can only do so much.

As for GT, you very well know PS3 architecture and PS4 are completely different. And GT series always takes time. But once it comes out it almost survives the entire console generation.

The Last Guardian? why even bother talking about that? the game looks like a beautiful piece of art come to life.
they had to almost remake the game because it was meant for ps3.

so when is star citizen being released? how long has it been in production? lol.

[MagicBeanz]

On the other hand what, you're an xbox fanboy? You could have just said that and saved yourself the time.

And if you think Forza is innovating annually then you're an even bigger fanboy then I though.

Well honestly who didn't see this coming :\ FYI the site is giving me a virus error on Chrome.

[nitus10]

Well to be fair the site in question is showing up as containing Malware. I seem to be getting this issue with Chrome and Firefox although I do have another browser called QuipZilla which has a Chrome look and feel that let me open the proper URL: http://www.mmogames.com/gam...

I did check the above in Chrome and it does not report any issues.

I will save you the trouble of clicking . The report does not really say much.

Note: I don't run a Microsoft operating system however that does not make me totally immune to Malware (in fact no OS is) but since most Malware and especially viruses target Microsoft's OS's and to a greater extent user gullibility I am relatively safe.

I'm finding this off most links coming off N4G today.

Chris Roberts said back in January 2015 that the first episode of SQ42 was due out 3rd QTR of 2015.

[sampson3121]

this game may never be finished. and even if it is, from the footage I've seen, it looks average.

[Azurite]

Imho it doesn't matter if they delay it or not, as long as they don't rush it.

[ALICE666]

...and in 2017 it will be delayed to 2018... ever year that passes it seems the goal post keeps moving. How is anyone OK with this feature creep? I joked 2 years back that it may probably come out in 2020+... now I am not too sure even that is enough time for a game that is becoming way too ambitious now. I just want to play this game in this lifetime and not my grand childrens...

[ShadowKnight]

Not really surprise
