Last month Squadron 42's sparkling cast was revealed. Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson, John Rhys-Davies and Mark Hamill all take leading roles in Star Citizen's single player campaign. PC Gamer's Chris Thursten sat down with Hamill for a chat about Star Citizen, Wing Commander, Hamill's fear of getting the Joker part, the joy of sci-fi fandom and, of course, Star Wars.

On the latter, here's a nugget from his discussion about non-disclosure agreements and that plot twist in The Empire Strikes Back. Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen the original trilogy.

again to clarify, this is Squadron 42, Star Citizen's SP component

We need a new Kickstarter - 20 mil for FMV. Staring the entire living WC3/4 staff.

 

[Mudcrab]

Goddamn those screens are gorgeous.

Makes for a nice cover too.

Damn, best looking character in a video game.

 

[FrontalMonk]

His Harrison Ford voice was _on point_.

Pretty jaw dropping and Hamill seems like an absolutely super nice dude.

interview with him

 

[Danthrax]

Yes, yes it was, it was perfect

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Looked more realistic in wing commander series

 

[foxtrot3d]

I just love Mark Hamill.

Is everyone taking a shot when Chris says 'fidelity'?

Shity graphics

Spoiler

That's amazing!!!!!

Must resist dumping savings into a PC...

[In-game cinematic Drake shot here]

Drake doesn't come close to that or any other part of U4 for that matter. This game is on a whole other level of graphics.

 

[Kezen]

Bar-setting faces right there. Best I've seen in a video game, understandably that must require some hardware.

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

This game is going to be rather special, isn't it!

 

[Durante]

There are more polygons on some of the details of that space suit than on entire characters in pretty decent looking 3D games.

It's almost decadent.

Yeah its pretty incredible. Will my 980ti be enough?

 

[Compsiox]

I did it. I regret nothing at all. It's sooo great.

If you get one don't start playing a MOBA or all it's power will go to waste.

 

[Kezen]

Wait until the game is out.

 

[Haloid1177]

Needs the beard.

 

[R8TEDM3]

Not impressed, not at all! Nathan Fillion in "Halo 5" looks much more like himself in real life! For a game that's breaking a 100 mil+ and the tech it uses it's looks alright imo.

 

[RedAssedApe]

quality looks better than gary oldman at least?

 

[GhostWriter24]

I can't...

I guess I just don't know what's gorgeous and what's utterly unimpressive anymore.

Spared no expense

One of the best looking games of all time.

"It looks alright"

God damn some people really like to push agendas at times.

whenever it comes out and if it looks as good as this you don't even wanna know what ungodly ammounts of cash will be dropped on my pc durante OuO

In Halo 5 he looks like a puppet.

I've been trolled

This looks awesome but that's some hyperbole to me. Drake doesn't come close at all?
That space suit is crazy though. I'd love to see ND take a shot at scifi.

And this is over a year old and looks this good:

 

[Big_Al]

Fucking love Mark Hamill, such a nice fella and his interviews are always really fun to listen to. Chatty as hell.

 

[tuxfool]

To be honest Nathan Fillion does look pretty good. Good enough for goobers to say that with a straight face.

 

[DangerMouse]

I just love Mark Hamill.

Same. It's so awesome he's in this, I still remember Wing Commander

The character model and space suit look awesome.

 

[BlindJesus]

Didn't Halo 5 use psuedo real-time cutscenes that lead to visuals not possible during actual gameplay? Versus real time Star Citizen cutscenes? And budget wise, I would say both games are in the same ball park.

 

[kanuuna]

Every time I see this game I feel like I watching a fake video game being displayed in a sci-fi movie. Star Citizen is such a bizarre thing. I'm not sure I'll ever get into it, but I can't wait to try the final product when it comes out. The open beta period was a weird way to experience it for the first time for sure.

 

[Corine]

This looks awesome but that's some hyperbole to me. Drake doesn't come close at all?
I'd love to see ND take a shot at scifi armor.



And this is over a year old:

No not even. Add to the fact U4 is a simple linear action game that's not doing anything close to what Star Citizen is.

 

[lukeskymac]

This is my favorite.

1) Nice job cherrypicking
2) That's completely irrelevant to what's being discussed

 

[Whompa02]

facial animations are pretty spooky. Not exactly convincing lol.
