The live demo of Star Citizen at Gamescom 2017 showcased several new features and improvements. The demo started with the player character waking up in his modular clothing system, where he could mix and match different outfits and armor pieces. The new mobi glass interface was also introduced, allowing players to access various apps and track their stats, missions, and contracts. The demo highlighted the new subsumption system, which provides a wide variety of missions and AI behavior, making the gameplay experience more immersive and dynamic.
The demo then moved to Levski, a new location in the game, where players can interact with NPCs and explore different shops. The player received a mission to retrieve a black box from Delamar, which led to a rendezvous with another player in their constellation spaceship. The demo showcased the new face-over-IP technology, allowing players to communicate with each other using their real-time facial expressions and lip-syncing.
Once in Delamar, the players embarked on a daring mission to retrieve the black box, facing opposition from enemy ships. The intense space battle demonstrated the improved ship combat mechanics and the use of railguns. After successfully completing the mission, the players returned to their ship and headed back to Levski.
Overall, the demo highlighted the new features and advancements in Star Citizen, including the modular clothing system, the subsumption system for missions and AI, the improved mobi glass interface, and the face-over-IP technology for realistic player communication. It showcased the immersive and dynamic gameplay that players can expect in the upcoming 3.0 version of the game.
