in Star Citizen
why no love for Elite Dangerous on this site?
Star Citizen is very cool, but I think its more linear than Elite?
Elite is a whole galaxy with 100 billion stars to explore, and the most innovative game ever when it came out in the 80's 
Check it out on kickstarter
This time the innovations will be in the MMO aspect
if it reaches 1.4 million, a mac version will be made
I have waited more than 20 years for this game

Both games seems to be awesome, but the reality is that
SC have more than $7 millions and more millions with other investors
Elite, at the mment, only have little more than 1$.
We have to be in the reality, and in my opinion they need more money, much more, if they want to do this.
I really hope that they obtain the amount of money for do that project. More competences means best products. but the difference that I belive more in SC is that.
At this point they've actually got $2,539,668, converting from GBP to USD. That's a decent budget considering the scope of E:D, which is much less ambitious than Star Citizen.
I backed both, along with Limit Theory and a bunch of other crowdfunded games throughout 2012.

Braben does some crazy things in his games for sure. I still have fond memories of roaming around the galaxy in Frontier. But in the end the fractal generated universe end up just feeling... Generic. I mean what its the point of a huge universe if its all just random stuff?
The MMO part of it sound interesting, but how well it translate from theory into practical gameplay only time will tell.
