Chris Roberts interview: Star Citizen's ever growing ambition

Last night, Cloud Imperium Games founder Chris Roberts addressed Star Citizen backers at an event near PAX East 2015 in Boston. We saw new damage modeling tech, an updated first-person shooter module, and a zero-G combat sport that's clearly inspired by the Ender's Game battle room. The crowd cheered for glamour shots of an Aegis Retaliator, and whispered excitedly after every demonstration. You can see a couple of the videos that were shown here, and Cloud Imperium should be posting the rest soon.

Keep an eye out for our ASUS ROG G751 laptop giveaway after PAX East—we're collecting signatures from everyone we interview for a one-of-a-kind prize.

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the '80s and '90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!). Tyler joined PC Gamer in 2011, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
