X: Rebirth

[tortuosit 486]

Yeah, the well known release date of the release date :D I hope I'll see XRB this year.

[ziiip 1]

yes, but not completely. You can use drones:

Based on the "X Rebirth - First trailer video", it felt like you are in full control of the ship movement.

oh, come on, the post is pretty clear. They already made a complete mess once, they can't do that again.

yes, it's the same, as it is said in the post: "This is basically exactly like switching personally into another ship"

[tortuosit 486]

Ah, very good that you posted. That reminded me that I had to check the forums. They said they would give more information about the release date at the beginning of August, and in fact...

Release: November 15., 2013 (Europe) and 19. (North America)

I'm so excited about the upcoming release of X Rebirth. I've played the X-Series since the beginning with X-Beyond the Frontier and this Game is a dream for evey space fan like me :) X3TC Photogallery

Oof. Never played an X game before but I've always hungered for a large "Elite-type" game since I last played Frontier. But those recent videos have sold me on this.

[Placebo 29]

Yeah X really took over from Elite since Braben was eaten up by his own ego.

[nettrucker 142]

I hope it's not going to be steam exclusive only. That would suck big time. LOL :)

I only have X3 TC and I'm really looking forward to rebirth. The game is looking awesome.

cheers

[mjr.hassle 13]

Also very eager for this! Looks like they've really worked on the interface. (amongst other things) Whilst I got use to the X3:TC GUI, it really was laborious. Only one of the series I didn't bother with was Albion Prelude; as I heard that old saves would not be compatible. Considering the years I spent building my empire, it simply wasn't an option. :butbut:

This is one of those games where I imagine saved games been passed down from father to son. ;)

[nettrucker 142]

Here's some more footage to see.

looks just awesome.

System requirements: only 6 gigs of hard disk, but 4 of RAM. I wonder what that's for. Universe must be really huge

massive sandbox SP space game ... Egosoft on shinest

[mrcash2009 0]

This does look like something ive wanted for a space type game for a long time, I bookmarked the site but haven't been back to it until now. I also overlooked the fact its SP orientated and that is something I like allot. Kind of Skyrim approach (SP) but space and a whole tone better in terms of economy and detail of the trade side obviously.

[nettrucker 142]

Hello everybody

this game is going to be something real epic IMO. Can't wait to get my hands on it. X3 was already a huge and very complex game. You can play for years to come LOL. :D I interrupted X3 TC because Arma 2 was released and I then dedicated more time to ArmA 2 and left X3. I played when taking brakes from ArmA. Since I'm not getting ArmA 3 . . . X Rebirth is going to fill that void and I'm sure that I won't look back.

cheers

[metalcraze 290]

I like the SCALE

SCALE

[krycek 349]

Ah new beginning,I'll have to say goodbye to my empire in X3TC.One last look at Xenon Hub,lay off the marines and universal trader pilots,and I'm ready for Rebirth.

[nettrucker 142]

Seems that Rebirth will be also Steam exclusive only. What disappointing news. Another no go. :mad:

[froggyluv 2136]

Been jonesn' for a good quality space sim and I can't seem to wait till mid Nov. Any suggestions on something where the scale feels vast, the flight mechanics realistic and the space combat not pew pew lasers but having a realistic feel rather? Oh and resource economy a must!

Edit: Hmm, seems that X Terran Conflict may just be what I'm looking for.

in that case you might be interested in following this game, which is still in development:

It has an own thread here:

It's coming out in modules, so it's not really clear to me when it will be playable

[dontknowhow 33]

very interesting video. This guy managed to get a hold of the Gamescom demo

[Placebo 29]

Nice find, watched that on the big screen, looks excellent.

I never even realized you could walk around inside the ships and stations! :eek:

[Tonci87 163]

This is gouing to be exiting. Hopefully this time around they will put in a good story and some long term motivation. Then this will be the perfect space game.

[mrcash2009 0]

For sandbox in space it looks very impressive. Although I lost the interest with flying, to me the movement of the ship around the station seemed like anyone using floating camera (with a cockpit overlay) in the editor so you can check out 3d models rather than jumping into the immersion space... very abrupt movement and no weight to it.

EDIT: unless of course thats the result of xbox controller without using slider settings in setup?
