Almost everything being hyped in this year’s CitizenCON has been hyped in previous years, often under slightly different naming. 
When the super cinematic epic interactive movie about space fascist Roman LARPers is also a super open ended do anything be anything sandbox of infinite spankbank wish fulfillment possibilities just like le OASIS in the Ready Player Onerinos where each mission will allow infinite deviation from course but also still make sense as a le epic cinematic masterpiece of space fascist Roman LARPing. Also there will be all the same tired story beats from Wing Commander but worse but that’s okay because you can wander off into space at any time or hide in the wankpod
As a normie who’s only heard a few bits of Star Citizen second hand, my mental image for “only Star Citizen can do this” is the player character insrantly falling to the planet’s core while assuming limb configurations not yet seen by man because the physics engine is too busy simulating the inner parts of a coffee machine in the room next door.
Maybe just shooting for “generic AAA” wouldn’t be so bad at this point

You might really enjoy this video series. It’s old now, but almost nothing has meaningfully changed in Star Citizen since these stopped coming out so the videos are still timely and very fucking funny, especially when they get into the “ship sales Tetris” sequence and “whale fracking.”

Think like the train rides in Half Life.
That’s their horizons for what’s impressive? Video game tech from over two decades ago? Truly this justifies the decade of development hell and the small country’s worth of GDP burnt.
They’re stale, boring, aging reactionary gamedads that haven’t really gotten committed to an actually new game since… fuck… Crysis, maybe?
One of the prevalent slogans among the gamedads in the official forums really is “make space sims great again” so you can guess the boomer-ass and Gen-X-junior-boomer-ass overlap.
If you look at CitizenCON attendee footage, it’s
aged up a few decades.
