While we still do not have a precise release date, other than late this year, RSI showed off a rather neat gameplay demo at Gamescom 2016 even in Cologne, showing both first and 3rd person gameplay, space action and planet landing, which looks a whole lot better than No Man's Sky.
It's currently in its 3.0 version and we must say that the most impressive thing is the transition from space to a planet and even what you can actually do on a planet. The game appears to be almost complete, so hopefully, we won't have to wait for it for too long.
It is obvious that Star Citizen will be a big and impressive game and we certainly hope that it will live up to the hype.
