Star Citizen
from the creator of Wing Commander, Privateer, and Freelancer. massive persistant open universe, chose your role (military, pirate, freelancer, trader, etc), pilot ships from small fighters to command carriers. basically Chris Roberts wants this to be the ultimate space sim ever
it's not coming out for another 2 years yet, but i'm posting this now because today was the end of their crowd funding initiative. they started with a goal of 2 million dollars. after they reached that, they posted milestones for additional features in the game (expanded single player campaign, more ships and systems, high quality voice acting, etc). they hit every one of those goals and the funding reached 6.2 million dollars. Roberts says he now has the money to build the game he's always wanted to build, and i'm absolutely stoked. i spent many hours in Freelancer, which IMO is the best space sim game to date. now i get to look forward to the successor which will dwarf it in terms of size and scope
November 2014 can't come fast enough
