Will there be a spectator mode for streamers or casters to hold private competitions?
TL;DRYes, Sean Tracy says they want spectator modes, imagining a newscaster-style role in the Persistent Universe and classic spectating in Arena Commander, such as during race qualifying.
Yes. I want to make that very clear that yes, we do want spectator modes. And I'm going to go off on a little bit of a diatribe as I do, because spectators to me in Star Citizen and in Arena Commander itself are more like newscasters is what I always saw this as. I always saw this as a newscaster role, as a reputation or something you could do where there was this idea of always being able to record things that were happening in the Persistent Universe. And I think you've heard this pitch from me before, Jared. Where you would go in as a newscaster, you'd want to put "press" on the side of your ship and all these kinds of things. But it'd be dangerous to be capturing battles and things like this that were going on. So I like the idea of spectators actually being a real thing within Star Citizen. But within Arena Commander, I think the little more classic game sort of standpoint makes a lot of sense. Just to be able to, especially during the race, like during qualifying or whatever, you want to be able to spectate and see what's going on. Especially now, oh man, with these new racetracks and watching some of the Evocati people play them. Yeah, you want to be able to spectate these guys because they're freaking good. Really good.
