    I know some will complain about the cost... but SQ42 is the whole reason I backed this game and I personally think this is AWESOME news!!

    Now if they would just RELEASE the damn thing...

    No expense spared.

    Too bad they don't spend any money on making the game. They got all the Star Wars actors to do voice overs because Roberts was obsessed with trying to be the next Lucas. SC will be an even bigger failure than his movie making carer was though. This is one hell of an expensive fantasy you guys have financed for him. I hope it was worth it. I thought SQ42 was supposed to be out already anyway?

    I'm such a Wing Commander fan that I didn't hate the movie... and even liked the score!

    Sounds more like a waste of money, i can gets on Reasons and make a musical score for a game, this isn't the 90's where you needed a stereo sound board and a padded noise proof room.

    Eh, not what I would want my crowdfunding developer to spend extra cash on.

    With so much scope to get into the game, an Emmy-winning composer seems like a silly waste of PR space, at best.

    That's great.  Let's hope they remember to remove the watermark this time.

    Meh. Not to mock the man's career as he's doing ok, even if he is an Emmy-winning composer, he's hardly John Williams or Hans Zimmer caliber. And I'm sure that's reflected in his price tag.

    PR buzz to make his scoring the game seem bigger news than it actually is, and more troll fodder to make it seem like backer money is being wasted on an extravagance instead of just a normal Joe music dude.

    As per usual nothing to see here, move along.



    Normal joe music guy would be one of the CIG in house audio guys using Cubase or Avid Pro Tools to score the game. An extravagance would be hiring an Emmy award winning composer.

    I love OST's on games, the best SQ42's can get the better for me. Overall they promised a full orchestral score for both Star Citizen and SQ42 per stretch goal.

    Let the haters hate! The narrative here is one day "SC is out of money, doom approaches", the other is "Oh look SC has money to waste on this stuff".

    So flippant lol

    Well, the next logical step is "SC is out of money because they're wasting it on this extravagance !"

    I mean, the writing is on the wall, they're so broke they even have to resort to stealing $5 graphic images ! :lol:

    I liked the movie too and would love to see another!

    Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.

    What i took form that was ..
    1 We are reworking weapons so we can buff the future and present cash shop.This to me will be obvious so they can get around the lie that the game won't be p2w.

    2 Art team is working just now on stuff i thought would have been done from day 1,so wtf have they been doing the last 2-3 years?It almost sounds like they just opened up the particle effects section of the engine last couple days.

    The rest of the video was too boring for me to continue watching.I bet i can sum up this so called expert music score dude in one word....HORNS,i bet he obviously uses horns because that is a common trend with space environments.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
